    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Recently I've pointed out that it seems the Red Book site repeats entries that have already been on the site, but now I'm also sort of noticing that they don't add new posts every day now. I wonder what's going on.

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

    In the Child's Play movies, Chuckie has to transform into a human body soon or else be trapped inside the Good Guy doll forever (even though he always manages to be able to transform into a body after being brought back to life). I can see him maybe not wanting to be a doll forever, but would...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    When I first noticed the "Imporbably History" title, I had incorrectly thought it said "Peabody's Impossible History". I didn't see the first segment much until I got the DVDs, and for a long time I could never really understand the parts that show that it's a "what if" machine. I kept...

    TV Tropes

    I didn't watch We Are Men and had no desire to watch it. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised it was canceled. I saw the first two episodes of the new show Mom and saw promos referring to it as the #1 new comedy of the season.... If that's #1 then I'd hate to see the other new comedies (though I did...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I wasn't expecting the movie to be titled Peabody's Impossible History. Somehow I get the feeling that casual fans don't know that title, instead calling it "Mr. Peabody" (or maybe "Mr. Peabody and Sherman"). I didn't notice the "Peabody's Improbably History" title until I was 13.

    The "You know what?" thread

    I can't believe I misheard that lyric (even though it was sung the way I remember later in the film). But it wouldn't be the first song lyric I misheard (I had thought that "the lollipop guild" from The Wizard of Oz was "the lollipop kids", and it is common for people to mishear certain song...

    Unpopular Shows you Love

    I really liked the show Baby Bob. I know that pretty much everybody else hates that show (though my mom also liked it). I didn't know many others who watched it (when I talked to my classmates about it after watching the first episode I only vaguely remember anybody else saying that they watched...

    Has that show been canceled already?

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Mr. Peabody and Sherman looks like it'll be the best of the Bullwinkle movies. I wasn't expecting Sherman's name to be in the title. I thought it would just be titled Mr. Peabody.

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

    In the movie Hocus Pocus, the main characters have trouble convincing the town that they brought the witches back to life. But doesn't the movie take place in a town that believes in the legend of the Sanderson sisters? I can see the parents not believing them since they just moved there, but...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Snow White, the seven dwarves sing "Heigh Ho" on the way home from work, but it has the line "it's off to work we go". Shouldn't it be "off from work we go"?

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I managed to digitize Janice for the main stage during this limited time availability (I guess it helps that I have everybody you can get on the stage). I had to dismiss some spare Divettes and Rats before getting Janice, which isn't a big deal, but it gets me thinking, since you can only...

    Sprout and Noggin

    Sprout cuts Sesame Street episodes? I thought it was a commercial-free channel, so there's really no reason to cut segments out (well, I know that Elmo's World: Transportation was replaced with a different segment in a season 30 episode_.

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Although I already did a detailed breakdown of the timeline, I'm going to redo it, more like a list and with things I didn't think to say at first. The Gold: 1969-1984 Part 1: 1969-1970 There's less characters. Less humans, less recurring Muppets, and less performers. Most weeks are sponsored...

    Experiences with "I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper"

    Well, I first saw the clip in the special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting. I was born in 1984, shortly after Mr. Hooper died, so I wasn't too familiar with him. So for about a decade and maybe a half my main exposure to Mr. Hooper was through Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and a few books...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    Another thing about the timeline is that from the 1980s until the very late 1990s, it was rare for Jim or Frank's characters to appear in street scenes, the usual exception being in a movie, special, or book. I noticed this even as a kid (one who not only didn't know they were puppets, but who...
