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

    Tonight I saw an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati in which Herb makes a sponsorship deal with a company that makes a potentially dangerous drug (but isn't illegal to sell), but after the station realizes that this could have negative consequences, the sponsor refuses to accept his check back...

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

    Just a few days ago I went to Toys R Us to look at Mini Mates and Diamond Select figures in person. I don't think I saw any "Select" figures there (though I kept having trouble finding the logos for various toy companies), but I saw some mini mates and I think they looked okay. I was surprised...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    I see it now. I guess I was expecting to see her in the "with" section and assumed that final section was just crediting Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Dave, the performers who just shot their scenes separately from the rest of the show. I've seen that you've posted other Muppet things besides LMM in...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I was looking at some Sesame Street plush at a store, and saw a great-looking Herry Monster plush that I had considered buying but wasn't sure. I also saw a few of the old Sesame Street bean bag toys, including Herry as well (and he was the only character from that line...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Considering Kathryn Mullen was a writer, I'm surprised to not see her name in the performer credits (I thought I heard her voice as Foo-Foo in Foo-Foo Phooey, guess it's someone else unless). And considering she had said that she used an alternate name yet her real name ended up in the writer...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Cow and Chicken is my least favorite of the original three Cartoon Cartoon shows. I didn't hate it, but didn't enjoy it as much and don't feel a big desire to see that again. But it is a much better show than Ed, Edd & Eddy.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    I don't think I've done this list yet... Top ten songs from Weird Al Yankovic that did not get made as official music videos: 1. Yoda 2. Midnight Star 3. Airline Amy 4. Albuquerque 5. Gotta Boogie 6. The Night Santa Went Crazy 7. Everything You Know is Wrong 8. A Complicated Song 9. Cable TV...

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

    I thought roasts were where you make mean comments about people that, despite the roasting, actually do like. If that's the case, why would Justin Bieber be a good roast subject? And I wonder how many of the roasters will really mean the mean things they say out of meanness as opposed to just...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    One thing I've always wondered was where all those titles came from. I think somebody said that the episode list came from a TV website, which wouldn't be a proper source for the wiki, but I don't know what source was used for that website. Henson.com never had an episode list for this show (I...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Some time ago, I read somewhere that whenever a Big Bird costume is about to be retired and replaced, they have Big Bird do something that he normally wouldn't do. But the only example I know of is him being in a lake in the Camp Echo Rock episodes. I wonder what else Big Bird has done in such...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    I was surprised to hear that Pee-Wee Herman hosted a CBS saturday morning block hosting the show, since his show didn't begin on CBS until the next television season. I wonder if Pee-Wee's Playhouse was in development at the time (and interestingly, like Little Muppet Monsters, that show would...

    Funko to release Sesame Street toys

    Maybe they'll makke figures based on the Dennis the Mennis movie and Baby's Day Out. What I wonder is why their figure of Chucky is promoted on the packaging as Child's Play 2 instead of just Child's Play. I don't think there were toys of other characters from that movie, and it appears to be...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    I've been wondering if the linking footage for any of those featured any performers who did not work on The Muppet Show. I haven't seen Rowlf's Rhapsodies, so I don't know if he's credited, but it seems like pretty much all of them list the same eight performers (though Rock Music also credits...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Wow, I had always assumed that the whole show was shot in New York. I wonder if the performers were doing anything else in London at the time (well there was Labyrinth, though neither Nelson or Hunt performed in that). It would be odd to just randomly have the performers perform some scenes...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Did you work on the show or do you have some sort of connection to either Marvel or The Jim Henson Company Archives (or Disney, who owns the show (as well as Marvel), though I've read that the Henson Company Archives still has the master tapes for much of the pre-2004 Muppet productions)?

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    Somebody just added to the Muppet Wiki page on Little Muppet Monsters that a few of the incomplete unaired episodes are available among tape trading circles. If that's true, I hope they show up on YouTube soon (I already checked to see if they were online, and couldn't find them, though I only...

    SNL 40 Year Reunion

    Did Murphy ever impersonate Bill Cosby? I would have rather he played Buckweat, Mr. Robinson, or Gumby. If he never played Cosby, it wouldn't make sense for him to do so here (I know, some guest hosts did impressions of people they didn't play on the show, I think), especially when Keenan...

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

    So the person from Tough Pigs who was at Toy Fair (were they both there?) was told that the announced Mini Mates line would probably be it for now, but if they do come out with more, I wonder if there should be some series of mini mates themed around different movies. Of course, I wonder if...

    Is there a reason why Disney dislikes releasing Muppet DVD's?

    Actually, the people at Tough Pigs revealed that there is going to be some Muppet merchandise this year. It was kept behind curtains, and photos weren't allowed (people could only see them on request), but there are going to be some new Muppet toys, a series of "Mini Mates" and a collection of...

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

    It had already been announced that the small figures would be Minimates, while bigger action figures would also come out as two-packs, one two-pack at a time. Toughpigs mentioned that the bigger figures will be loaded with accessories. I wonder what accessories they'll be. There's not much...
