In the 1985 movie Fright Night, at one point one of the main characters points out that nobody cares about vampire movies anymore. Not only have vampire movies gained in popularity in the past few years, but this movie came out the same year as another vampire movie, Once Bitten. I get the...

I've been puzzled over an internet meme inspired by the Lipton ads. It's a photo of Kermit drinking tea, with a caption which starts begins pointing out something fairly negative about something and then ends with "but that's none of my business". It goes well with the still image, but Kermit...

Same here. I constantly find used copies of various movies and Fairie Tale Theater videos, and more occasionally find the Dr. Seuss videos (but I saw those at more video stores than the Muppet ones).

Question for Brian: Was there anything about Jim Henson or his work that you were hoping to find out about when researching/interviewing for the book, even if it's something that you wouldn't have actually put in the book, that you were not able to find the answers you were looking for?

I recently read at TV Tropes that there was a period when Steven Spielberg wanted to be a serious director. But I thought he was a "serious director" (maybe because of this period...?). I can barely think of any comedies he directed (there's 1942, and I'm not entirely sure whether Hook was a...

I recently read that the Saturday Night Live video collection showcasing the best of each season ("The Best of 1975", "The Best of 1986", "The Best of 1994", etc.) just has three episodes edited to 30 minutes each. If they're showcasing the best of each season, shouldn't they just pick the best...

I often think about how Follow That Bird often gets overlooked in retrospectives/biographies on Jim Henson and Sesame Street. I feel like it (and Elmo in Grouchland) should be included and recognized more. But then it hit me: If it was a TV special or direct-to-video production as opposed to a...

The other night, I dreamt that I was watching an alternate version of the Mad Man Mooney scene from The Muppet Movie, where Mad Man Mooney realizes how the decimal got on the price tag and wipes it off, only for the Muppets to dismiss it as "the oldest trick in the book".

Here's something else I was thinking about today. I know I've thought about it before, and might have mentioned it somewhere, though not in this thread (I've looked through all my posts in this thread to make sure): A book or CD-ROM compiling info on every single episode. I know, it would...

Today I thought of something that would be cool (though I think I suggested something like it before). A reference book on every production The Jim Henson Company did. All Muppet and Bear productions (at least the ones that Henson made), all Sesame Street productions, all movies the Creature...

Right now I Have "All About That Bass" and "Feels Like Heaven" stuck in my head.

I always thought Animal and Floyd looked similar. Never thought Animal and Janice did.
