For the last few years, I've thought about how most of the older "main series" Mario games are very different from each other, while the games in The New Super Mario Bros. series seem to be much more similar to one another (well I haven't played the most recent one), but now something else has...

For a long time, in the Home Alone movies, I wondered why when Kevin called the cops on the wet bandits, he did it in a secretive way (calling the cops before leading them to another house and referring to himself as somebody from that house, calling the cops in Central Park and telling them to...

Recently, I dreamt that I had the Palisades Series 1 Sesame Street figures, only the line-up was Big Bird (not as big as the one Palisades would have done), Bert, Cookie Monster, and Oscar the Grouch. And yet it seems like Cookie eventually switched places with Oscar, meaning that the Cookie...

The following thing that I ask is probably dangerous, so if you don't know the answer, I do not recommend trying just to find out for me. If you're driving really fast - and by that, I mean you stepped on the gas all the way, driving the fastest that your car can possibly go, and you go up a...

I know TMS still had a plot, but the songs and sketches tended to be more important, without much need for backstage story development (if they couldn't think of a long enough plot, they can just fill it with unrelated sketches). But Jim Henson was credited as a writer on TMS, so he would...

Lionsgate no longer has the video rights to Jim's work (and that was just the childrens/family titles, not sure if the experimental films were included in that contract).

And on the subject of Ernie and Bert segments from the first season, many segments seemed to have the apartment decorated differently, with a number of set pieces used only once or twice or whatever. And I'm not just talking about one-time set pieces that are related to the plot of the sketch...

If The Jim Henson Company still owned the Muppets, I wonder what Muppet clips would have been uploaded to the company's YouTube channel. I wonder if many music numbers (ones that weren't written for the Muppets) or celebrity spots would be uploaded. For Jim Henson's 75th birthday, Disney...

In 1985, Weird Al Yankovic was given his own mockumentary, The Compleat Al, which promotes him as a success. And this was after he had only done three albums, and shortly after doing his big signature hit, Eat It. Yeah, My Bologna and Another One Rides the Bus were his two biggest hits, and I'm...

In the booklet for the CD release of A Christmas Together, it's said that the Muppets were the inspiration for the track Alfie the Christmas Tree. And yet I don't feel that track is particularly Muppety. The story of Alfie the Christmas Tree would make for a good Christmas special (or maybe...

One thing I've always thought was odd was a quote from Joan Ganz Cooney in the book, saying that when Jim was negotiating with Disney, he wanted his contract to allow for him to spend two weeks a year on Sesame Street when he never spent two weeks a year. Seems like a surprise to me. I would...

I assume that your copy was a commercial release and not a recording, which wouldn't have the commercial breaks. But after seeing this, was there a difference between the US and UK versions (besides what you're asking about)?

There was an all-celebrity-inserts DVD release. It was called Singing with the Stars, and all of the clips were music numbers sung by celebrities. Of course it didn't include any classic celebrity numbers, just ones from the last decade. And oddly enough, the packaging didn't show any...

I just read that Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown and Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown are both coming to DVD this year. Race for Your Life (plus rereleases of A Boy Named Charlie Brown and Snoopy Come Home) comes to DVD in February, while Bon Voyage comes later this year. I was reading about them...

I've found the back covers for Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets (found that back cover last year, surprised I didn't post about it here) and Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook. Children's Songs and Stories has images of: the octopus from Octopuses Garden, Sweetums and Robin (a close-up of...

Do we need a Frozen series?

I am mixed about that. On one hand, it'd be great to just see the insert and not a second of each segment it's between, but on the other hand, it guarantees that a second wasn't accidentally not included (well, a segment as it aired in that episode, there could be pre-roll/post-roll stuff not in...

I guess you could do a tape trade with somebody who has them (I know there's at least three fans with copies, not counting whoever the secret source was who supplied the copies in the first place), or hope that one of them uploads the entire episodes.

Or hope that somebody here that has a copy can answer (and I did get an answer to somebody who had seen it), or that somebody with the tape will put it on YouTube or DailyMotion. Or hope that Disney will rerelease them (but if they won;t release seasons 4 and 5 of TMS, many of the specials...

I just saw a picture of the back cover of Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook, and noticed in the back cover summary, it asks "Will Kermit get Fozzie to paint the scenery?" So is that a big plot point/running gag in that video? Is Fozzie supposed to be painting scenery but instead spends his time looking...
