The junior novel of The Muppets avoided mentioning the names of any celebrity who had a part big enough to be mentioned in the book (referring to Jack Black merely as "a famous person"), but this book actually does mention one of the celebrities by name (Salma Hayek). Of course the book doesn't...

What makes a work a "cult" hit or classic or whatever? I've thought about this for a long time. Recently I looked at a TV Tropes page for cult shows and movies and such and mentioned on the TV Tropes thread how I was surprised to see that Muppets and Sesame Street weren't included, and people...

I said that it was an obscure character who didn't get any dialogue in the last film. While Robin was barely in the movie and didn't get any dialogue, I don't consider him an obscure character. Though he rarely has a major role in the movies. Seems he must be the most major and well-known...

Well, I just finished reading the book. No, I don't plan on posting spoilers (unless you ask, and I'll send it as a private message). Some things from the trailer make more sense. There's some scenes that came before scenes I would have expected to come later. And something that I feel kinda...

Wow, there's a Bunsen-packaged Go-Gurt but not a Beaker one?

Really, 12 dollars? I recall the VHS tapes costing 10 dollars (okay, $9.99... maybe it was 12 when adding tax, but I don't remember paying 12 dollars for a Sesame Street VHS). But in the VHS/pre-internet era, it was harder to know what was on a video without either actually watching it or...

Today I bought a copy of the junior novel, and I still haven't read it. I just glanced through a few pages. There's a few things that are different from what I expected based on the commercials. And there's an obscure character who gets a line who didn't have any dialogue in the previous movie...

So to swallow your pride means to do something you feel is below your standards. But how is that "swallowing your pride"? Shouldn't swallowing our pride make you more proud and less humble? Shouldn't it be called something like "spitting out your pride"?

Well, I found a copy today, and it's a release of Elmopalooza and Elmo's World: Singing, Drawing, and More! That doesn't sound too bad. At least at Wal-Mart, it costs around $4.99, a deal considering those others wold cost at least ten dollars separately (assuming they are still in print on...

Thinking about "Elmo and Friends", whatever that is, I wonder if it could be like "Best of Friends", only with more Elmo. I could see it having about two Elmo segments in a row, then a section of skits on different characters, including one appearance with Elmo if possible. For example, it could...

Yeah I find it odd that the most frequent recurring sketch is one that barely has any Muppets (could it have been featured more because it had live actors who otherwise wouldn't be working on the show?). I often wonder why each episode of MuppeTelevision and the various specials only had a...

I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, so I thought it be fun to do this thread, asking which is better: The Muppets on Puppets or The Secrets of the Muppets? Both are specials hosted by Jim Henson explaining how his characters work, with the Muppets being presented as real even...

It's interesting how in the introduction Kermit asks all the monsters who aren't included not to eat him for it, as it seems like it has almost every Muppet monster, at least of those introduced on The Muppet Show (and then some before, like Splurge, who was retired before the show began)...

Yesterday, I was watching an episode of Family Guy, which had a scene where Stewie was reading the first Garfield book, Garfield at Large, and he mentions that Garfield hates Nermal, as if that's part of the book. But Nermal doesn't appear in Garfield at Large. In fact, his first appearance...

Interestingly, the cover image looks different from the other Sesame Street releases from Warner Bros. (it looks more like a Sony Wonder cover). I wonder if Warner is changing its style for Sesame covers. And in the last two years, most of the DVD covers noted "Over 2 hours of fun!" (in some...

Yeah I had that on the back of my mind and was going to say that but forgot.

I just saw a "Sesame Bits" comic which promotes a new DVD called Elmo and Friends, yet I had been unaware of such a DVD. Anybody know anything about this (I can't find anything online)? I'm hoping it's like a sequel to "Best of Friends". EDIT: Muppet Wiki now has info, but says it comes out...

It's interesting that Jim Henson chose not to be a director on Sesame Street because he thought it'd slow him down as a performer, because he had directed a lot of productions he performed in, both before and after. I assume he directed every episode of Sam and Friends (well, maybe not the ones...

Well, after looking at that section, it seems the Snowth, Cute, and a few other Koozebanians are all featured in an image where they are taking The Newsman away. I haven't seen this image before, but I guess it doesn't exactly mean that the Snowths are from Koozebane (it could just be that a...

One thing I had wondered which is confirmed by me reading the book is the fact that there's no humans pictured in this (well, actually, the Nigel page has an image of the control room, including some monitors that have a human on them, though I can't tell who that human is, and one of Paul...
