I don't know if it's been brought up in this thread, but The Muppet Mindset has recently started a new series of articles called "What the Muppets Mean to Me". They haven't done it for two weeks though. I actually don't know how to answer the question of what the Muppets mean to me.

In print it's often spelled "meep", but he's clearly saying "Mee" most of the time. And in the Road Runner shorts, it clearly sounds like he's saying "Meep Meep", but in print merchandise and titles with the catch phrase it's spelled as "Beep Beep". And according to audio commentary on some of...

I'm surprised there haven't been any consoles where you only download games as opposed to putting discs, cartidges, or other things in the systems.

Well, Game Stop does have a few empty packages in the store for games that can be downloaded, which you get the code for, and I chose to try to buy it from that. I did end up getting a prepaid card so I could download without the code.

Today, I was at Game Stop, and wanted to buy the most recent Mario and Donkey Kong game. It's a download-only game, but the store has cases for those in store, where you pay at the store and get a download code. But when I went to buy, I was told that they had sold out of download codes for it...

The Muppets have to rescue a spy played by Pierce Brosnan, one of the James Bond actors? Sounds similar to how Looney Tunes: Back in Action had them rescuing a spy played by Timothy Dalton, who had also played James Bond. Not a bad idea, though.

Lately I've been thinking about how Follow That Bird doesn't have any big production numbers by the cast on the street. I feel there should have been one at the beginning or end (All Together Now seems like it would have been great if sung by the cast, as opposed to being sung by Alabama on the...

After reading about how Weird Al Yankovic's Mandatory Fun album is his first to be #1 in the Billboard charts, I must ask how do the charts work? Does Billboard only track sales of current/recent releases? I recall reading that Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is the highest-selling album of all...

Recently, the Tough Pigs forum has had a thread on Weird Al Yankovic, and I saw somebody mention listening to all the albums in order and noticed that Weird Al's work started getting a lot more "slicker" at Even Worse. That may just be one fans opinion, and I hadn't really noticed it before, but...

At first I thought this would be about full-body characters who were awkwardly performed. I'd say some of the full-body shots in The Muppets are awkward, particularly Scooter standing and sweeping. And some full-body shots of Telly in Follow That Bird look kinda weird. But Muppets pretty...

Top ten songs parodied by Weird Al Yankovic: 1. Beat It 2. American Pie 3. I Think We're Alone Now 4. I Love Rock 'n Roll 5. Who's Johnny? 6. Fancy 7. Piano Man 8. Complicated 9. Stop Dragging My Heart Around 10. Girls Just Want to Have Fun Keep in mind this list is for the songs that were...

I saw that somebody on YouTube made a few playlists (in multiple parts... Is there a limit on how many videos can be in a playlist?) on Weird Al Yankovic, which features nearly everything Weird Al did (that can be viewed on YouTube), in chronological order, and I keep thinking it'd be cool if...

I wonder if any of the deleted scenes will appear online as "sneak peeks" to the Blu-ray. Especially considering the deleted scenes will be part of the extended cut as opposed to being their own special feature.

Had that one in my head before.

Most of the tracks from Weird Al's newest album Mandatory Fun are in my head, especially Tacky, Word Crimes, Sports Song, and Jackson Park Express. In addition to all those, Fancy (which was also parodied on the album as Handy) has been in my head. Just the other day I was making up all kinds...

I wonder if she wasn't included because she's so obscure and there's not many good pictures of her, or if it's because she's basically nameless (the book does have other "nameless" characters, but their titles are known... I wonder if Craig Shemin even knew she was called Trumpet Girl in...

One thing that's interesting is that the three videos that don't feature Kermit in the linking footage also have the least amount of Kermit content (in fact I recently realized that Muppet Treasures only has two clips with Kermit, both of which have him in a minor role, but at least he hosts the...

Something has just occurred to me: People often use the "spoiler" highlight so people who don't want to be spoiled won't have to see it. But then suppose somebody is wanting to avoid spoilers but they also want to make an edit that occurs right below that spoiler, where if they edit they'll be...

I've seen commercials recently for both Steak n Shake and Geico which feature a young male who looks similar as a sidekick-type character to somewhat eccentric characters. Anybody know whether they are the same actor? Here's the commercials:

Last night I watched Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation, and I must wonder, do Buster and Babs' parents know that they're gone? In the movie it seems Babs has a lot of siblings (Buster probably as well), so maybe it's hard for their parents to notice if one of their kids is missing...
