    EKA Celebrity Version of Monster in the Mirror?

    I don't know how I made that mistake.... I knew that by the time the song premiered episode numbers started with a 2 instead of a 1. And my mistake was more than just putting in one wrong number. I did look in my browsing history before typing to see which episode number it was, but I didn't...

    Little things we've noticed

    Anyone ever notice how the tune for "Beautiful Baby" sounds similar to "Together Again", especially the beginning music? And yet Jeff Moss did not write the song (I thought it was Joe Raposo, it sounds like his singing, but I checked Muppet Wiki and it's neither Moss or Raposo). Many of the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Right now I have "Leave a Light On" by Belinda Carlisle in my head.

    EKA Celebrity Version of Monster in the Mirror?

    I was checking Muppet Wiki, and the earliest-known appearance was in the television special Big Bird's Birthday or Let Me Eat Cake. The EKA after that is the season 23 premiere, episode 1876.

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

    So for years I've known that in the second episode of Saturday Night Live, aside from Chevy Chase doing the cold open and Weekend Update, the cast only appeared once, for about 30 seconds. But then I saw that episode recently, and there are a few times when the cast COULD have appeared.... So...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I thought that the official Sesame Street YouTube channel had added some classic clips that aren't at sesamestreet.org, but then I saw that there's another YouTube channel with the name Sesame Street (there can be two channels with the exact same title?). I didn't even notice the lack of a...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I don't know if Be a Good Sport will be two hour-long episodes or various street scenes and inserts (how did we know Elmo's Magic Cookbook and Arts and Craft Playdate would be two full-hour episodes when those were announced?), but I was looking at the Wiki pages for those episodes, and if they...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    The next DVD release will be called "Be a Good Sport", to be released in January. I think this will be a release of two full episodes, as the Muppet Wiki only mentions two street stories (as well as a bonus street story).

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

    Even if you swear on something you don't really mean but the swearing isn't in court?

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

    Often, somebody makes a promise by swearing on something, whether it be a bible, somebody's life, or something else that's meaningful. So if you swear on something and you don't go through with your promise (or if your promise was a lie the whole time), are there consequences? Okay, so I...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, I got the DVD today. It has a number of Sesame Street News segments, which I'm not surprised by. There's three in the main program and the "Cinderella's Fairy Godmother" bonus segment. Two of the segments are repeats from previous DVD releases while the other two are not only new-to-DVD...

    A Rowlf Retrospective at the Museum of the Moving Image

    I wonder if this will screen Rowlf's Rhapsodies with the Muppets and/or SIng-Along Dance-Along Do-Along.

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

    Actually, it's kinda right. The original scripts and such spelled it as "Gortch" (and there is one segment where Scred gets a package which has that spelling written on it), but most of the official reference books and such have spelled it as "Gorch". I think the more common one is now...

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    I wonder if Ryan Dillion can easily do any Kevin Clash character or just Elmo (and those with Elmo-sounding voices, like Natasha). After watching the recent Home Lamb segment, it seems like Peter Linz (according to another post it was him) can do the Clifford voice well, though I don't think...

    New WHV Christmas Eve on Sesame Street DVD

    I assume every DVD release has been the same. Since none of these releases have bonus features, I doubt many of us here have multiple copies of the DVD (I wouldn't be surprised if maybe the menu art was different to reflect the new covers).

    The Rowdy Reviewer thread

    I've been watching his TMNT retrospective... Right now I've gotten through his thoughts on the first eight seasons of the original series. I plan to watch his review of the 2003 series, even though I barely watched that (I wonder if he'll do a review of the current series). Every time I see...

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

    Hey, I'd like to be an opening act for a big performance. I feel opening acts could very well help unknown performers become known, especially if they are opening for a really big act. Then again, I do know of instances where opening acts went bad. I have a book on stand-up comedy where the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I have "All I Need is a Miracle" stuck in my head. And now all I need is a miracle to get "All I Need is a Miracle" out of my head (just kidding, it's such a great song).

    TV Alert: Muppet Christmas Carol to air on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas

    By the way, I checked again, on december 6 it'll air at 6:30/7:30 central, and on the 23rd it'll air at 8:00/7:00 Central. Ever since I first watched The 25 Days of Christmas back in 2008 and saw that it included a lot of nostalgiac programming (both Christmas and non-Christmas) I've felt...
