    Who was Wall-Eyed Pike's Performer?

    I always thought he was performed by Jerry Nelson. He sounds a bit like Scred. While on the subject of Wall-Eyed Pike, is his name a pun of some sort? Almost all of the named pirates had names that are some sort of pun, irony, or have something to do with who or what they were.

    Pre-Order "Muppets Most Wanted" Blu-ray available August 12

    So three different cuts? I was kinda hoping the deleted scenes would be on their own, but at least we'll be getting them (in the form of an extended cut). So glad that Brett McKenzie's music video will be featured. Huh, I don't think I've ever made a wishlist for bonus features. That's...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Been thinking about the Sam Sheepdog and Ralph Wolf shorts, and while they have a lot of great physical humor, it seems like the funniest parts come when the two are not on the clock. Just how they greet each other and act civil towards each other when not working, when Sam tells Ralph in "Steal...

    Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge Episode 8: Tavern at the Crossroads

    I wonder if any of the creatures built during this series (especially by the ones who didn't win) will be used in any upcoming productions. Can the company legally use any built by the puppet builders who didn't win and therefore didn't get hired? I was hoping the woman would win. She was...

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

    I don't know how to explain it.

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

    Though when watching that commercial, I can't help but feel it was produced by a religious company (though it has nothing to do with religion).

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

    So "healthier" is cool (at least to the kids and teens watching)? On another subject, has anybody noticed that during World War II, a lot of animated studios (and I really only know about the ones from Disney and WB, and to a lesser extent MGM) made shorts attacking the enemy soldiers...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    It'd be great if somebody could contact 20th Century Fox and asked them about it. Though I doubt it's that easy.

    Soda is boring? That's what I usually choose to drink.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    It would have been interesting to see an entry on the Country Trio. I wonder if the book would have said that the trio gave up music to be puppeteers.

    MUPPETS Screenwriter Nicholas Stoller Says THE MUPPETS Might Be Coming Back to TV

    Stoller said that one of his Muppet movie ideas involves Kermit and Miss Piggy getting married. Not sure if I like that idea as the whole plot for a movie, but it reminds me of how in Jim Henson: The Biography, Jerry Juhl suggested an idea for a movie about Miss Piggy being pregnant, and Henson...

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

    Recently, I saw this old Sunny Delight commercial again after many years... And what's up with "purple stuff" among the drinks in the fridge? I know they couldn't use actual brands, but "purple stuff"? That's just kinda funny. They couldn't have said "grape juice" or "purple soda" or...

    The "You know what?" thread

    There's an old prank where somebody'll say "loser say what" a few times fast, so that the other person will say "what?" and then the one saying "loser say what" will shout "LOOSER!" But then the one saying "loser say what" is technically already saying what in order to trick the other into...

    Worst sequels

    Regarding worst video game sequels, I'll say that Pac-Man 2 is my least-favorite Pac-Man sequel. Though I liked it a lot better when I was younger. But it's problems are pretty much what Drtooth summed up, with one thing he didn't mention: The gliding part is too frustratingly hard. I've...

    Questions about anything

    I've heard a few times about people watching shows or movies ironically. So how does one watch something "ironically"?

    Worst sequels

    I've only seen a small amount of direct-to-video Disney sequels, and of the ones I've seen, the only one I really don't like is The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride. Most of the few Disney DTV sequels I've seen are ones that don't have "reputations" for being awful, but also, there's quite a few...

    Muppets Tonight what went wrong?

    Well, Tiny Toons was a different title than Looney Tunes. I don't remember thinking of it as being like Looney Tunes before seeing it. Then again, Taz-Mania hardly had any new Looney Tunes characters besides Taz, and I really like that show. And outside of Taz-Mania I find the Tasmanian...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Something I recently noticed: The entry for Foo-Foo mentions that Foo-Foo has siblings named Oui-Oui, Poo-Poo, Num-Num, Goo-Goo, and Fred. A variant of the name Fred is Freddie, and on The Jim Henson Hour, the Foo-Foo puppet was named Freddie in the Fashion Doll Channel sketches. I wonder if...
