One thing I often think about is character/production ownership, and distribution rights over the years. I think about how the credits for the first three Muppet movies don't have a note that the Muppets were owned by The Jim Henson Company. And is it just me or do those movies lack...

Even though I have the movies on VHS and/or DVD, I decided to watch the first five on Netflix these past few days. So are these the Blu-ray copies? If they are, I'm not too impressed by the picture quality. The quality isn't bad, but seems more like DVD quality. I remember watching The Muppet...

In Muppet Treasure Island, during the roll call sequence, most of the characters called on (and not every member of the crew is addressed by name here) have names that are puns, or ironic, or follow a pattern with other names. But then there are some names I don't get, like Smoke Eye Pea(or was...

This should lead to another question: Did Cheech and Chong do drugs in real life (at least during their heyday), or was it just their personaes?

Zippety was a great underdeveloped character. His voice kinda sounds like a Kevin Clash voice (the voice is similar to Leon). Though his personality seems a little similar to Floyd's. It's a shame he's not in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the "What's the deal?" thread, though maybe it belongs in a little bit of both threads. But in Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams, Chong ends up trading their money in for a bank check, which I think was for the same amount they had (I haven't actually seen the...

The next Sesame DVD after Learning Rocks will be M is for Mystery, which will come out in September and be a release of two full episodes and a bonus street story. Currently, there's no signs of any Sherlock Hemlock segments (I'm hoping that not everything has been announced yet... Though it...

You know, if there is going to be a DVD release celebrating the anniversary, it'd make sense that we don't know yet. Since Warner Home Video got the video rights, new releases have typically only been announced two months in advance. That even applies to collectors releases like Old School Vol...

Although I don't think any "new" classic clips have been added to sesamestreet.org recently, Sesame Workshop has recently added a few classic clips that aren't on sesame street.org, including a couple of first season segments: The one where Cookie Monster interrupts Kermit's lecture on feelings...

I know, but it'd still be cool if they did. I keep thinking, for a 3o-minute version of the show I had in mind, I would open each show with a street scene but rarely include any street stories (though it'd be great to include stuff like the episode where Big Bird ran for president, or the...

One thing I must wonder: Most if not all episodes were among the lowest-rated programs of the weeks they aired, but how well did Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, which aired in the shows time slot a week earlier, do in the ratings during its initial broadcast? I wonder if the ratings for...

For years, I wondered why Saturday Night Live continued after season 5. Since Lorne Michaels, all of the cast, and most of the writers left, they should have just ended it. Season 6 was basically a new show, and should have just had a completely different title. But considering the sixth season...

In Man on the Moon, when Andy Kauffman first announces that he has cancer, his disbelieving manager threatens to sue his writer if he finds out that his writer was the one behind Andy having cancer. While I don't know if that threat really happen, I'd like to know if you can really sue somebody...

I wonder if these 30-minute versions will have special alternate titles (like how Noggin referred to its airings as Sesame Street Unpaved and 123 Sesame Street). It would be great if they could do a few different 30-minute versions of the show from different eras* (in different time slots...

They didn't cut the whole song. Having only seen the movie once (and before I got the soundtrack), I don't remember how short it was in the movie.

One thing that would be cool for the anniversary would be if PBS or Sprout would show a classic clip between programming. Maybe something under two minutes. Of course, if classic clips were shown between programming, I guess they'd be some of the best-known classic clips. Stuff like Rubber...

At first, I wondered if this would be a completely new show, or if it would include classic segments, but it looks like neither will be the case. I wonder if there'll be a special title for these edited reruns.

Any idea if this applies to Amazon or eBay? On a similar note, do you need an account to use prepaid cards to download from the Nintendo eShop?

If you make an online purchase with a prepaid credit card, do you need to have an account with whatever website you're shopping from?

Recently, I've dreamed that the special Sesame Street All-Star 25th Birthday: Stars and Street Forever was being rebroadcast... And I didn't know this was on until it was at the montage of music clips, where my recorded copy had stopped, so I quickly went to get a blank tape to record from...
