    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that on Muppets Tonight, there'll often be similar scenes or gags that occur in Clifford's introductions two episodes in a row, even if they weren't produced back-to-back. Like the first two episodes, they both begin with Clifford's introduction being interrupted by one or more...

    Whatever Happened To.......

    Is Barkley still performed by Bruce Connelly (I guess I should watch the current credits to see if Connelly is still in the credits)? It seems like, with the exception of Brian Muehl, none of Barkley's performers had any other characters (well, Fred Garbo also performed the hands of Dexter...).

    TMS: Would Its Quality Decline If Continued?

    Let's see if I can think of enough people who could have been guest stars for seasons 6-10. 24 per season (I don't think I'll list any duo guests). Season 6 (1981-1982): Cher Andy Kauffman Mary Tyler Moore Danny Devito Davy Jones Imogene Coco Buddy Epsen Zsa Zsa Gabor Orson Wells Robert...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently I've been thinking about the initial critical failure of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and I'm starting to wonder if those movies would have done better critically and box office-wise (well, The Dark Crystal did do well at the box office) if the movies came out in reverse order, or if...

    TV Tropes

    I was just looking at the page Popularity Polynomial, which is for things that were big at one point but then lost popularity for years and then suddenly regained its former popularity... It mentions Pokemon, but did Pokemon really lose popularity? I think I was older than the target audience...

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

    It seems like on How I Met Your Mother, sometimes there's a commercial break after the opening, and sometimes there's not. And I'm talking about the original CBS broadcasts, not reruns. Anybody know why they would sometimes follow the opening with a commercial break and sometimes not? I can't...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I think Nickelodeon moved around the commercial breaks for The Secrets of the Muppets, though it's hard to know for sure since it didn't air during the shows original run (I wonder if The Odyssey Channel had the same breaks and fade-ins as Nick). The original airing probably would have had a...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    According to Muppet Wiki, Learning Rocks will indeed be two full hour-long episodes, and will have a bonus street story, "What's That Noise?"

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    For the past days, I've had "If I Had Words" from Babe stuck in my head. And also The Buddy Bears song from Garfield and Friends.

    Questions about anything

    I've read that one song in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut was going to be titled... Err, it was going to be called the MF word, but then it would have been rated NC-17 unless they changed the "Mother" part of the title, so the song title had "Uncle" instead of "Mother". So... Anybody...

    Muppets on CNN tonight at 9:00 EST

    I wondered about those as well. I wonder if those things were mainly where their copies come from (a few things listed "courtesy of YouTube"). Interestingly, most TMM clips had a "courtesy of American Film Distribution", but I also saw at least one clip that said "courtesy of Walt Disney...

    Muppets on CNN tonight at 9:00 EST

    Well, the Muppets never really follow a specific canon. By the time of that special, Miss Piggy and Gonzo should have known who Jim was already, as they both interacted with him in The Jim Henson Hour Pitch Tape, and in The Secrets of the Muppets Gonzo and Bean (and probably Clifford) knew who...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the Zero Mostel episode of The Muppet Show, Kermit says that the amount Kermit needs for the payroll was 26 dollars and something. And yet the previous season, when Scooter was hired Kermit decided to pay him 30 dollars. And when Kermit tells Scooter how much he needs, Scooter doesn't seem to...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten songs I first heard (whether they were new or old songs I just hadn't heard) since I made my various top ten songs lists (alright, not counting any songs from Muppets Most Wanted or the most recent seasons of Sesame Street): 10. Dr. Beat by Paula Abdul 9. Let's Hear It for the Boy by...

    looking for old classic clip from 1983

    I hadn't watched it online in over a year, but I did some searches (including "death", "Mr. Hooper", and "I'll Miss You Mr. Hooper") and no results. I guess it's been taken down. I also checked to see if the street scenes where Snuffy is revealed to be real were still online, but they're not.

    Little Chrissy episode I remember

    Sesamestreet.org has a few clips from an episode with Elmo, Little Chrissy, and Big Jeffy (you can do searches for those characters, though sesamestreet.org spells it as "Jeffie", I can't remember but I think the site also spells it "Chrissie"). I've also seen a Muppet Wiki guide for a different...

    looking for old classic clip from 1983

    Sesamestreet.org has the street scenes from that episode, including the Forgetful Jones scene.

    Little things we've noticed

    One thing I think I just realized: It seems like it was rare for multiple Jim Henson characters to appear in the same segment. I previously mentioned that The King's Nose has all three of his main Sesame Street characters (Ernie, Kermit, and Guy Smiley) but we never see more than two at a time...

    Sesame Street Quiz-aper

    I had forgotten about this. I wonder if I should do an updated "quiz-aper", with questions about things that came after I did this (like "What's your favorite episode of Abby's Flying Fairy School?" or "What's your favorite installment of Elmo the Musical?"), maybe even additions to results to...
