    Questions about anything

    Back to what I was asking earlier about pitching a series.... So networks/companies want a test pilot as opposed to reading a long detailed pitch explaining the show, and the networks/companies fund the pilots... So how does one convince them to fund a pilot? I doubt they would fund a pilot...

    Need Help Identifying an Old Skit...

    I don't really understand the ending. The two get together and Arthur says "we got to stop meeting like this"... What's he mean(I guess they got to stop looking out their windows to talk as opposed to being right together....? But they were in the same house already)? And when the hippie-like...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Another DVD idea I had is one that focuses on various characters thoughout the year. Sort of like a second "Best of Friends", except each segment per character section would be from a different decade or era, to show them through the years. Though depending on character some might have multiple...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official US and International Trailers On-line

    Yay we see a new version of the opening! And this time all the archs are filled! Having trouble making out who all is in that, though. Even when paused I'm having trouble seeing who some are (or maybe they're just whatnots and not really important). I see some who weren't in the archs in The...

    Need Help Identifying an Old Skit...

    I don't know who did the animation, but I wonder if it's by the same company responsible for this almost-as-weird, almost-as-creepy piece: I wouldn't be surprised if they were both done by the same people. It's a shame Sesame Workshop doesn't put out an official guide (whether in print...

    The Muppets Character Encyclopedia coming Feb. 7 2014

    I wonder if there will be pages grouping most species. I figure there'll be pages for Penguins, Chickens, Rats, and most likely Frogs and Pigs. But I wonder about other animals, like Dogs. There aren't really multiple Muppet dogs who look alike (except Muppy and Rufus). Obviously Rowlf will get...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I am amazed by how long each chapter is. Not that it's a bad thing, but it feels like each chapter takes at least an hour to get through. Even if I don't stop reading to do something else like eat or go to the bathroom. I was reading one chapter while watching a two-hour movie (okay, I wasn't...

    Sequels You Like More Than The First?

    Some sequels I like better than the first: Home Alone 2: Lost in New York Back to the Future Part 2 (I think most fans like this one better than the first, though TV Tropes mentions the first under the "First Installment Wins" page) National Lampoon's European Vacation The Empire Strikes Back...

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

    Old people stereotypically tend to say "back in my days..." (I say "sterotypically" because I don't think I've ever seen an actual old person in person say that or "when I was your age...", though I like to use those terms despite not being old yet), but when were an old person's days? And what...

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

    What's the deal with Cheech and Chong being called Cheech and Chong? Cheech is his nickname, but usually the first name as far as stage names go (though he has sometimes been credited as Richard "Cheech" Marin, and sometimes even Richard Marin), while Chong is Tommy Chong's last name. They...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    One thing that's kinda funny, and I should check other Henson biographies to see if this occurs in others as well, is that Jim Henson, as well as his family, is often referred to by first name, while other people are often referred to by last name. For example, if it talks about Jim Henson and...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I'm four chapters in and it's so great. There's a lot of interesting stuff I didn't know. All this time I thought that the entire run of Sam and Friends was two episodes a day, five days a week, but the book mentions there were times when the number of shows per week were different, as well as...

    Oh I didn't realize that the official description had the "'70s to today" line.

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt I was watching the final scene from The Muppet Movie, and actually spotted Lips there, in the back, right in front of Big Bird. And it made me wonder if the puppet had been around for two years before appearing on TV.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I got it for Christmas. So throughout the day, I would go straight to particular parts I wanted to read, back and forth, and then a few hours ago started reading from the beginning (though I'm only a few pages in to the second chapter). As I was browsing, I did notice one mistake, which is...
