    Your Muppet mistakes

    In Muppet Moments, when the clips of Andy Williams singing "Two of a Kind" and "Jubilee Time" were combined, while I thought it was weird that it suddenly cut to a different setting with Andy in different clothing, I actually thought he was still singing "Two of a Kind" when he sang "Jubilee...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I can't decide how I feel about the show being just called The Muppets (or is the title "The Muppets... For Now"?:)). I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's The Muppets, I figured it'd be that or The Muppet Show (at least it's not The Muppets Show). The likely confusion between The Muppet...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    It has been said that there'd be a daredevil variant. Of course I've assumed the variants would be repaints, so I wonder how any of Gonzo's regular outfits can be repainted into a daredevil one (Gonzo has worn a number of different daredevil outtfits, some in the same basic style but different...

    Questions about anything

    I assume that today the Paley Center for Media has digital files or something for patrons to select things to watch or listen to instantly, but I wonder how they did it in the pre-digital era. Did patrons have to just ask staff members to manually put tapes in? Was it possible for two people to...

    Questions about anything

    Jim Martin had a Kickstarter campaing to convert as many episodes of The Great Space Coaster to digital files as possible, and it was mentioned that he hoped to donate copies to a museum (hinting that he meant The Paley Center for Media... it was said he wanted to donate to a museum that would...

    Frank in FTB

    I don't remember the topic of Kevin performing Frank's characters being brought up in Being Elmo. It is a shame that that doc barely has any Disney-owned Muppet footage (only a Muppet Meeting Films clip), it would have been great to have seen some behind-the-scenes footage of Kevin performing...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    When it comes to Disney Channel stars and current teen idols who everyone else hates, I'd say I wouldn't mind a few making an appearance, as long as they're not THE guest star. If it's more like The Muppet Show, where pretty much each episode takes place during the show (and I think it's been...

    Ruthie in Season 30

    One thing I've always found odd about season 30 is how Ruthie seems to have continued as a regular, yet she barely appeared that season. She was in the season 30 credits, there's a season 30 cast picture with her (as well as Alan, which proves it's from at least season 30), and the 40th...

    Questions about anything

    Simply have as many past cast members as possible. The Facts of Life had a reunion episode with three of the four "first season girls" (though they were also semi-regulars until season three). Actually, I'd like to see a Facts of Life reunion special with everyone BUT the main five (Mrs...

    Frank in FTB

    I can't believe I forgot about that. I've wondered the same thing, especially since he mainly looped dialogue in Muppets from Space (also released that year). I'd like to think that he at least performed Bert (since all of his scenes could have easily been shot in a 30-minute session) and...

    Frank in FTB

    Somebody at Tough Pigs speculated that Grover's voice in the trailer was dubbed for the trailer to make the line faster or something. It was said there that sometimes in trailers lines might be dubbed to make a line shorter or quicker for the sake of a trailer. Not sure if that's actually the...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    Here's something I found which aired during the 10th anniversary marathon. I don't actually remember it, though after watching a little of it it does look familiar. And here's something I found yesterday, which i had posted in the Bob Newhart thread: TV parodies of The Six Million Dollar Man...

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    While Bob Newhart is a comedy legend and his two most successful sitcoms are popular, I wonder if The Bob Newhart Show or Newhart qualify as cult classics. It seems neither show gets referenced/parodied often, not even on Family Guy. Given the popularity of the last episode, I'm surprised that...

    New Muppet Pilot in Development by Randall Einhorn (The Office, Modern Family) for ABC

    I wonder if there should be a short "mini season" in which the Muppets try to convince Miss Piggy to do the show and/or convince the network to approve of the show without her, and then the first full season would be them running their show. It would be interesting also if the show was about...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In this old Cartoon Network promo.... One of the questions asked was, "what would happen if Bugs Bunny took the right turn in Albuquerque?" Actually, it seems Bugs usually does take the right turn. His catch phrase is "I knew I should have taken that left turn in Albuquerque". By that logic...

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    Reviving an old thread because I found something on YouTube I had been trying to find for awhile (and I was surprised to see it was posted in 2010, before I started this thread): Various Nick at Nite interstitials spoofing various TV shows, but with Bob Newhart in them: Unfortunately, not all...

    Potential new Cookie Monster segment in development

    It's been said that this season Cookie Monster will now live above Hooper's Store, and will often be smelling foods from downstairs. If it's true that there will be a new Cookie Monster segment, I wonder if his new home will be the focus of those segments.

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Sometimes there are segments that take place on a different city street set ("I Love My Elbows", "Sully Supplies Music"). I wonder if those are further down the street, if not across from the main action. At the end of "Good Morning Morning", we see Herry and some of the others on a street that...
