    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    It's a shame that they gave Elmo a third "best of" video when they could have given that treatment to a character who hasn't gotten one yet, like Oscar, The Count, Telly, Zoe, or Abby Cadabby. Or they could have given Ernie and Bert a new one (especially since The Best of Ernie and Bert has...

    Questions about anything

    Is it wrong that I'm a little bothered over the fact that most of the family in Home Alone isn't directly mentioned by name, or barely is? Kevin's siblings are mentioned by name a few times when they don't appear on-screen, but besides Buzz it seems like the mentions of their names are barely...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Last night I watched I Want a Dog for Christmas Charlie Brown, and some things seem odd due to the fact that everything is based on a speciffic strip, particularly ones that might not have been meant to be seen back-to-back. Like in one scene, Rerun tells Lucy and Linus that when other kids...

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

    I was just thinking about the episode of Tiny Toons where the cast finds burried treasure, but on the way back home their boat starts sinking, and they are forced to throw out the treasure, which Plucky is most against. But Plucky is a duck, couldn't he have just jumped out of the boat, since...

    Most Sympathetic Villains

    Do Wile E. Coyote, Sylvester, or Elmer Fudd count as villains? Though Sylvester and Elmer aren't always sympathetic, but often are.

    TV Tropes

    That's a shame. I recently thought about starting such a YKTTW. It would have made a good trivia trope.

    2 different Alphabet Chat L versions

    I've noticed that the L sketch was the only one that didn't have a picture on Muppet Wiki, but now I know that there were two versions (unless people are remembering wrongly)? If it's true that there's two versions, I wonder if maybe they felt the need to remake it (especially since the one...

    Deena and Pearl

    I know, this is an old thread that hasn't been active in ten years, but I thought I'd point out that this Muppet Mindset article reveals what happened to them (or at least Deena): http://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2014/12/15/12507/ So Deena was dropped because she was too annoying. Norman...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    People are talking about old video sites like RealPlayer... I don't think I ever used those. I know when I first got the internet I watched a few video clips online, but not many, and I can't remember what service was used. I previously said that with so many rare treasures from the first...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    I've been playing Muppet Race Mania quite a bit lately... One thing I've noticed is that in battle and stunt stages, you still get energy when you collect stars, except you can't do special moves (which is useless in stunt stages because there's no other characters) or get a speed boost (which...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Thinking about how for most of Sesame Street Caroll Spinney has only performed Big Bird and Oscar. In Jim Henson: The Biography, Jerry Nelson is simply quoted as saying that he stopped performing Anything Muppets because he didn't really like it, and I read in the Tough Pigs review of I Am Big...

    Labyrinth - The Four Guards scene

    Still trying to wrap my head around that explanation... And still, in the movie, Sarah only asks one of the guards what the other would say, without asking the other one.

    Big Bird and Thog

    It's so weird seeing Thog sitting. I didn't think the costume was built to be able to sit without breaking/ruining it a little. Additionally, it's odd that they used the pre-frog Kermit (with non-flipper feet) for "I've Grown Accustomed to Your Face" when the more famous Kermit look had been...

    Labyrinth - The Four Guards scene

    Something I've been wondering about regarding the Four Guards scene in Labyrinth is how Sarah determines which one is telling the truth. She asks one of them, "would he say that this one leads to the castle", to which the other one says yes. When the other one points out that the other one...

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    From time to time, I wonder if Kevin Clash will ever do an interview again, whether for something professional or for a fan site or podcast. I'm pretty sure most fans (or at least the people at The Muppet Mindset and Tough Pigs) have the common sense not to discuss the circumstances that led to...

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

    So A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life have both had any variations with familiar characters. But one thing I just realized is that most Christmas Carol variants have familiar characters playing the roles of characters from the movie and follows the same basic plot, while It's a...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The Carpenters - Won't Last a Day Without You.

    Billy Barkhurst

    I can't believe I didn't think about the fact that the image had another performer performing a character as well.
  19. M

    Billy Barkhurst

    Looking at that picture, I must ask, is Billy left-handed, or is that a "reversed image"? I've only seen one clip of his Ernie (the "Change the Plan" song), and I must say his Ernie sounds a bit more like Jim's Ernie.
