That's too bad. I know that he's listed in the credits, but I guess that's not too different from Zoot being in the credits for The Muppets despite not having any lines in that.

I just saw "Pretty in Pink" for the first time, and then looked at that page on TV Tropes, and it's said that this movie is obviously '80s even for an '80s movie. But as I was watching it, while it does have a lot of '80s styles and music, I feel it looks more like the '90s version of the '80s...

I'm sure that Mr. Peabody and Sherman were included because of the movie. If not for the movie, I would have expected Dudley Do-Right to be included (I like Mr. Peabody better, but Do-Right seems to have been the most popular supporting segment), and if I was in charge I would have included...

I just saw that Funko Pop is supposed to be coming out with figures of Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, and Sherman. http://www.hollywoodgonegeek.com/2014/01/toys-rocky-bullwinkle-mr-peabody-sherman-funko-pop-vinyl-figures-revealed.html

Actually, I just found out that Funko Pop is coming out with some Bullwinkle figures this month. The toy line includes Rocky, Bullwinkle, Mr. Peabody, and Sherman. Here's the info...

Well, it would cost money to use the other companies characters. I don't know whether Sesame Workshop would charge Disney more for use of any of its characters than it did for a clip. But also, Disney doesn't want to confuse the marketplace when it comes to who belongs to who (which was one of...

I'm more surprised that he didn't show up in The Muppets, since the character was in a number of productions around the time. Maybe they did have the puppet on set but none of the background puppeteers bothered to use him for any scenes. Now I'm wondering how many of those credited...

My phone got the Big House stage a few days ago. Wow, The Wall background includes a few characters who can't be digitized yet, like Wayne, Wanda, and Uncle Deadley. The Wall also has a few small characters I can't identify. I'm thinking maybe they're members of the baby band, but one of...

I just saw the official credits listing on Muppet Wiki. So there's actually "LA Performers", "UK Performers", and "Additional UK Performers". First time one of the movies did performer listings like this. Louise Gold was listed merely under UK Performers, as opposed to it saying that she...

Oh, I didn't realize that was you.

So you also run a website?

One thing I often wonder, if something like this were to be done: Would/should they include one episode from each represented season, or skip at least one season and include multiple episodes from one of those seasons? Season three has a number of really notable episodes (Linda moving to...

I read that when Jerry Beck appeared on Stu's Show yesterday, he confirmed that the Rocky and Bullwinkle short is still coming out later this year, only with a different movie (I think it's the movie that the short that comes with Mr. Peabody and Sherman is related to).

Since Ryan has already seen Muppets Most Wanted, I wonder if Constantine will appear in Weekly Muppet Wednesday before or after the movie comes out. It would be cool to see him included next week, but then again, there could be spoiler-y stuff about him that the article might feel incomplete...

What do you mean by "ship themselves with another character"?

According to Muppet Wiki, the reason Mirror Mask was produced was because Sony wanted to make a sequel to Labyrinth, but Lucasfilm had partial ownership of the film, so Sony instead asked Henson to make a different fantasy film. Last I checked, the Muppet Wiki page didn't cite any sources, but...

I've only read this part once, but it seems the book says that David Lazer talked Jim Henson into doing The Great Muppet Caper before The Dark Crystal, by convincing ITC to agree to fund The Dark Crystal if they did another Muppet movie. This gets me wondering if Jim Henson let Tri-Star...

The "park segments" take place in a park. Very few of them have aired on the American show, though I've heard that Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson do perform them in these segments, with the voices dubbed in later.
