    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    These past few days, while playing Sonic Mega Collection +, I have beaten a few games for the first time. I finally beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (had made it to the final boss for a long time, saved my progress before fighting the giant Robotnik robot, after watching game play footage recently I...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Lately I've been thinking about how all of Jay Ward's shows were "multiple shorts" shows, and it gets me wondering, if Jay Ward did have a series that focused on a single narrative per show, would it have had heartfelt moments as opposed to being funny and pun-filled all the time? I know that...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    While technically we don't know that there won't be any further Sesame releases after this next one (I suspect we won't), and don't know whether there'll be any unannounced releases before or after, I must say that it looks like this is the first year where all Sesame Street video releases are...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    You know, I think that's the job that Ryan Dosier left The Muppet Mindset to take.

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    Maybe I've said this before, but I feel that Walter should have asked about including incredibly obscure Muppets no one remembers, since he's the big Muppet fan of the group (at the very least he could have told Kermit who Chip was and what he's from). In fact not only does Walter not get any...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    There's an idea I thought about early that could have been done for this series (maybe if the Muppets do a new show after this one ends): What if the Muppets were putting on several shows? I know, MuppeTelevision was kind of like that, but I mean the Muppets run a TV station or production...

    Or that his nephew is apparently Jewish (I wonder if Deadly is). So we finally know that Uncle Deadly really is an uncle

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    I wonder if each episode of the series will list what characters are performed by which Muppet performer (and if it'll be as detailed as the credits here). The previous shows only listed the performers, no characters (not counting the "monitor credits" on The Jim Henson Hour, in addition to...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    The only bad thing I can think about, and I sort of suspected this from the trailers, is that Lips isn't in this, not at the meeting or with The Electric Mayhem (well maybe he was in another room). He's been used a fair bit in recent years, and it's been said that Steve Whitmire is now...

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Pitch Reel

    So we still don't know who performs Denise. She doesn't get much dialogue (I was hoping we'd get to know her a little more in the pilot), and the credits don't even say who performed her (while listing who performed almost everyone else... It points out Matt Vogel performed Robin, who I don't...

    TV Tropes

    Is there a trope for when somebody runs for something, and only gets a single-digit number of votes? Especially when it looks like we know who those votes are from, only for the one who ran to mention that he voted for himself, showing that one of the others didn't even vote for him. I know...

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    Of course, the Fraggles didn't know that radishes were the main ingrediant for Doozer sticks (this episode was the first time it was mentioned, and the Fraggles still wouldn't know until three episodes before the show ended) or why the Gorgs needed radishes (and this is the only episode to show...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    A while ago, I saw on Muppet Wiki that there's no evidence of The Jim Henson Hour airing in England, though some pages say that Living with Dinosaurs (with JHH intros) and Food/The Three Ravens aired there, and that part of the confusion comes from the fact that Living with Dinosaurs, along with...

    monitor images on The Jim Henson Hour

    I know I'm bumping an old thread, but after seeing all the episodes, I've noticed that, while a lot of monitor footage could have easily just been the performers playing with the puppets, there's also a lot that seem to be a bit planned. Like one episode (I think "Power") that showed a monitor...

    Special Preview of The Muppets 2015 TV Show

    There's a lot of pilots that either never aired (the Three's Company pilots, the Sesame Street test pilots, Rugrats) or aired later in broadcast order (The Jim Henson Hour, The Bob Newhart Show, Fraggle Rock, Doug).

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    I still think it's kind of odd that in The Great Radish Famine she's so concerned about the conflict between the three species, without really thinking of the consequences (even if it is part of the point). She does seem to have the kind of knowledge that the others don't have, particularly with...

    What if the Trash Heap communicated with Gorgs and Doozers?

    Lately I've been thinking about "The Great Radish Famine", where Marjourie the Trash Heap magically takes away the radishes because the Fraggles, Gorgs, and Doozers are all in conflict with each other (never mind the fact that the Gorgs and Doozers hadn't been aware of each other before this...

    Kermit and Walter at YouTube Space LA

    After watching the last few "Bear-ly Funny Fridays", "i've noticed that the on-screen title card reads "Jokes! with Fozzie", while the videos are listed as "Fozzie's Bear-ly Funny Fridays". I wonder which title should be used for the Muppet Wiki article.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I found a documentary from 1990 that I'm not sure whether I knew about it. It's an episode of the series Learning Matters. Interestingly, there's a lot of first season focus, including a section on why Buddy and Jim, Professor Hastings, and Roosevelt Franklin were dropped. We already knew...
