    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Not to bring this off-topic, but I also didn't know who Madonna was in 1994.

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Maybe it's because I was ten at the time, but in 1994 I hadn't heard of Prince or Sheryl Crow, and only knew of Elton because of The Muppet Show (and The Lion King, though I doubt I'd've remembered hearing about him as that movie's songwriter if not for his Muppet Show appearance). Though to be...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Now I have quite a few Debbie Gibson songs stuck in my head, including Lost in Your Eye and Only in My Dreams.

    Looking for the following sketches...

    Some of those segments are available for viewing at sesamestreet.org, where the copies are uploaded by Sesame Workshop, meaning they are better quality than many fan-recorded copies. Among the ones at sesamestreet.org include "Ernie cleans the apartment in 15 seconds", "Bert's purple hand"...

    Muppets - Board Game References

    Are you asking for a Muppet board game or a game with references to the Muppets? Because I'm sure any entertainment-based trivia game made since at least 1976 would have some Muppet-related questions.

    Questions about anything

    In one episode of Hey Arnold, Helga wins a free dinner at a fancy restaurant, but after (or is it during?) their meal she finds out that she went to the wrong restaurant, and ends up getting out of it (before Arnold convinces her otherwise) by calling Nadine and asking her to infest the...

    TV Tropes

    I've been thinking about how the One-Hour Work Week page mentions that even a good stand-up comic puts in a 40-hour work week, stating it takes 40 hours for 30 seconds of good material. But does a stand-up comic need to actually go to an office or workplace to think up material? Do they have to...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    One thing I'll say about the one clip we've seen: I will be disappointed if that scene has the most characters we'll see in any scene. It's pretty much the characters we'd expect (and yes, I consider Lew Zealand a character we'd expect to see), though that doesn't mean that more obscure...

    New WHV Christmas Eve on Sesame Street DVD

    There is a difference there. Warner Bros. has always owned the rights to that movie and rereleased it on DVD a year before getting the home video rights to Sesame Street (actually the deal was announced by the end of the year but Warner Home Video didn't start releasing Sesame Street titles...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    Really? It's been a long time since I last watched the whole video (I should have watched it all when the whole thing was on YouTube, though I think some clips are still online) but I recall Fozzie being there for the majority of it. If I ever find that the whole video's online again I'll...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    You mean the Play-Along Videos. Wait a minute.... They changed Knuckles' eye color in one game? Which one??? I'll have to make sure I never play that one. (Just kidding, I just couldn't resist, though I'd never heard of that complaint before)

    The Muppet Mindset

    For no reason at all I have painstakingly gone through all of The Great Muppet Survey entries to tally up which characters have been referred to as the favorites of each contributor. I am counting instances where the survey takers cheated a little by doing ties or including more than three...

    The Muppets and Lady Gaga in new Christmas special November 28 on ABC

    The apples and oranges comment is ironic, as I like apples (and Katy Perry) but hate oranges (and Lady Gaga). And I think Katy Perry shows off more sex appeal with her costumes while Gaga shows off more weirdness with her costumes (but maybe I should search for more Gaga images). And we know...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I had been wondering if Nick got the distribution rights to any past TMNT productions (I figured they didn't get the movies) or just the characters and franchise. I also wonder if Nick owns the publishing rights to any of the comic books.

    The Muppet Mindset

    I've noticed that sometimes the Weekly Muppet Wednesday index includes the latest characters within a week of the articles, and other times it takes awhile for character articles to appear in the index. I've also noticed in the "other posts" index that a number of articles aren't there yet...

    The Rowdy Reviewer thread

    Well, I've watched all of the Peanuts reviews, and most of the TMNT reviews. The reviews of each season of the 2003 4Kids series has been more enjoyable than I thought. I noticed in a few reviews of Peanuts specials he says that Charles Schultz didn't think much of the animated specials. Is...

    Video: Oscar vs. Grumpy Cat

    Is this the first time Grumpy Cat appeared in a video that wasn't a non-fiction appearance? It's a little weird that Grumpy Cat had to talk with subtitles, but would it be weird for Grumpy Cat to have a voice? At first I imagined Grumpy Cat with a Brian Griffin-like voice, but then I learned...

    Video: Oscar vs. Grumpy Cat

    A new video was posted in which Oscar the Grouch met internet icon Grumpy Cat. It's very funny.
