    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    After some of the mention of this being "because of the success of the Lady Gaga special", I now remember that I got the idea for this April Fools joke while reading forum posts about the Lady Gaga special, particularly when somebody said we should have been thankful the Muppets were appearing...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I felt like this last episode was the first time the show wasn't perfect, which gets me wondering: Is it a bad thing if a show doesn't jump the shark until the final episode?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Maybe they could have them themed around classic characters who were primarily in street stories, like Big Bird (it'd be great to see footage from the season 7 episode where Big Bird runs for president, or footage from the "Number 4 Show" besides "I Just Adore Four"), Oscar, and Mr...

    Did Anyone Get Constantine Spoofing Annoying Cliches?

    I noticed that too. Especially with the Sesame Street clip being from the early 1970s, where Kermit's voice was a bit dimmer than it would be on The Muppet Show (which was also a little different from how Kermit sounded during Jim's last few years).

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

    Well, I found some reviews of the Mario PVC figurines, though they were video reviews and I couldn't find any reviews of the recent series 4 figures. I didn't realize that there wasn't a Bowser (actually I saw images of a 3-pack of Mario, Bowser, and Peach which look like they're from the same...

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

    I have some of the Super Mario PVCs. They're available separately and as part of a multi-PVC set. One thing I don't like is that some characters are really hard to find outside of the multi-figure sets. And do they just do one series of those per year? I just recently found a series 4, after...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    For April Fools day, I had thought about posting an April Fools thread saying that an updated edition had already been announced, with less focus on Muppets Most Wanted (and maybe some focus on the upcoming 60-year anniversary), over 45 characters not in the first version, maybe even including...

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    You know, after I'd already posted a couple of threads, I had thought about doing a joke announcement of a DVD release of the Lady Gaga special (I assume that's coming to DVD, or at least was planned for a DVD release when it was in production... Was the 2012 Lady Gaga holiday special released...

    April Fools: The Muppet Show Season 4 to be released on DVD September 7, 2014

    So the Star Wars episode would be skipped? Disney owns the franchise now, so that episode shouldn't be a problem.

    Questions about anything

    So how do you pronounce the name of the Super Mario Bros. character Lakitu? I've only seen it spelled... Has he ever been referred to by name in any of the animated shows (though I don't recall seeing him on any of the shows)?

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

    Why am I having trouble finding info on the various Mario toys that are available? They're not hard to find in stores, but I've been wanting to find reviews of what's been available in the past few years (including the PVCs). I can find all kinds of photos, but I'm having trouble finding...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Probably for the same reason Disney left him out of Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody, Letters to Santa, the Studio DC specials, the Lady Gaga special (does Disney own the distribution company that distributed that special?), The Muppets, the Kermit's Party videos, The Muppets Kitchen with Cat Cora (he...

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    Really? That's the one program that made it unbelievable? Okay, maybe if I said it included the unaired episodes (I could see the finished footage being on a DVD set but not Netflix). I would have thought my mention of the pilot versions of the first two Muppet Show episodes or maybe the Here...

    April Fools: Muppets to do TV special with Belinda Carlisle and other '80s stars

    Well, it could have been Disney thinking the "success" was successful enough. Or it could have been a game of "telephone", me reading an article first, writing what I remember from the article (without actually looking at it while I type) and mistakenly thinking I saw it mention the "success"...

    60 Years of Muppets...

    Last year I posted news of a big Muppet CD set on April Fools day, but I think it would make for a great set. The post: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/april-fools-new-muppet-album-coming-fall-2013.54433/#post-1032852 My article also listed two phoney entries from Muppets Most...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    One thing I find interesting about Mr. Peabody and Sherman is that, with the exception of their visit with leonardo DaVinci, all of their trips involve some sort of adventure for the two. In the original segments, they usually weren't in any major danger, but in the movie Sherman's life is often...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I know that the ending of the finale (well, the part with the kids, we never see them and future Ted at the same time) was filmed during the second season. I wonder if the creators had planned on having Robin marry Barney at that point and didn't want to not use the ending.

    April Fools: Every Muppet production on Netflix

    As I was scrolling Netflix, I found The Muppet Show... and then The Jim Henson Show (the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour)... and then Muppet Babies, and Muppets Tonight, and Hey Cinderella, and The Muppets Go to the Moives, and most of the movies, and "Muppet Shorts" (which...

    THAT'S how it ends?!?! REALLY?!?!

    I like last episodes, though sometimes they can go too far, such as The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast getting fired, the cast of Dinosaurs facing extinction, and How I Met Your Mother trying a bit too hard to be sad in the last episode (and wasn't it said that the gang never missed Robots vs...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    On June 10 there'll be a DVD entitled "Monster Manners", which will include Rosita trying not to be pushy, Cookie Monster's initiation into a cookie club, and Prairie Dawn teaching Cookie Monster good table manners. The one with Prairie Dawn isn't linked on the Muppet Wiki article, so I don't...
