    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    The only official source I've seen where he's called Sgt. Floyd Pepper was The Muppet Show Book (and I think there are instances there where it's shortened to Sgt. Pepper instead of just Floyd), though I feel like I've seen at least one other official thing in recent years where the Sgt. part...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So part of the reason 2011's The Muppets got made was because Jason Segel wrote the script and starred in it. But as far as I can remember, this was announced before Forgetting Sarah Marshall was released in theaters. While How I Met Your Mother was a hit, I associate Forgetting Sarah Marshall...

    In the Bullwinkle's Corner segment "The Queen of Hearts", what is that thing that Bullwinkle hits Boris with?

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I doubt they'd use Garrett Saunders for the flashback, since Sesame Workshop for so many years didn't even know his name. But Sesame Street Unpaved does mention that in this episode Gordon wore a wig. And it's said that it was their 14th wedding anniversary,and it was in the 14th season. That...

    Who Built Lips?

    I wonder if Lips is actually starring in this or if he's featured among other characters (like if it's actually starring The Electric Mayhem). Dave Goelz mentioned that Lips had a line in something the performers did in winter 2013 (which we assume was a deleted scene from Muppets Most Wanted...

    Who Built Lips?

    I wonder why they need to know who built the original puppet in order to use it. Do the puppet builders have to get paid every time a puppet they built gets used or something? And it's interesting that the original is going to be used, when a new one was built a few years ago. I wonder if Lips...

    Is there an overrated/underrated Muppet production?

    With Steve Martin, while his stand-up comedy shows were successful and he was one of the best SNL hosts, his film career was just starting. This movie came out the same year as The Jerk, which is often cited as his first movie (though I think Internet Movie Database lists TMM before The Jerk on...

    TV Tropes

    After looking at Cut Lex Luthor a Check, it seems like I misunderstood what the trope was about. I think I talked about it here before, as I didn't think the trope title exactly made sense, but previously I thought the trope was for villains who use inventions or other resources to become rich...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    When Steve Whitmire was interviewed for Tough Pigs back in 2008, he said that Disney surprisingly hadn't put the performers under contract, and that all Muppet performers under Disney, Henson, and Sesame Workshop are freelance performers. Not sure if it's changed since, but I doubt it. Years...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I don't see the lack of a "Play All" button annoying. When watching DVDs of TV shows or shorts I usually watch whichever ones I feel like, as opposed to watching everything in order. It sort of makes me wonder if it's such a big deal for DVDs of TV shows to have the episodes in order, since I'll...

    The Muppets New Theater

    I don't really know much about James Bond, so I'm not the right person to ask. But I will mention that the video game Spy Muppets is basically a Muppet parody of James Bond, with the villains being Gonzo as Dr. Nose (Baby Gonzo also took on that role in an episode of Muppet Babies), Miss Piggy...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I know that there's a season 14 or 15 episode that featured Roosevelt Franklin's Alphabet (or was it Roosevelt Franklin's Days of the Week?). These posts of audio recordings of episodes reminds me that Steve Whitmire said in his Muppet Central interview that when he was younger he would record...

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    The Fraggles did befriend a silly creature. They befriended Doc in the last two episodes. Though years ago it was said that the Fraggle movie would "stand next to" the series as opposed to directly following the events, so I'm sure the Fraggles will continue to fear the Gorgs, Doc won't know...

    The Muppets New Theater

    Chapter 9 Everyone was running around, screaming, as the theater was falling apart. "It's a shaky start", said Waldorf. Then the theater box fell off the wall. Walter then ran in, in spite of everyone running around and the theater falling apart. "I tried to warn you!", said...

    Questions about anything

    Recently I read that 20th Century Fox only has the distribution rights to the Star Wars sequels and prequels (but not the first) until 2020, after which the rights will revert back to Lucasfilm (and therefore Disney), which was part of the original deal with those movies (though it's odd that...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Or you'd have a number series where each installment is the same, with the only difference being the number they end at.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt Signed On to Star in Fraggle Rock Movie

    Years ago, when Tough Pigs reviewed an old draft of the movie screen play (I'm not sure if they're still going to do this or not), it was mentioned that the plot did involve them going out into the real world. For years before the movie was ever even announced, I felt that if there ever was a...
