What's the deal with all those Lego versions of Star Wars and other franchises? I don't mean Lego toys of the characters from franchises, I mean stuff like video games, movies, and books that feature Lego versions of popular characters. What's up with that? A lot of times, when I go to flea...

Somebody mentioned that DK has put out a Disney A-Z character encyclopedia, and that updated books come out every few years (this would be something that could benefit from digital books, if they could be digitally updated). So I went to the book store to see if I could find one and see if that...

Top ten songs to listen to at night: 1. "Let Me Be the One" by The Carpenters 2. "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon 3. "Tapestry" by Carole King 4. "Somewhere Out There" by Linda Ronstadt 5. "Don't Download This Song" by Weird Al Yankovic 6. "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper 7. "All...

Well, I found a copy at Books-A-Million yesterday and glanced in it a little. I mainly looked in the index, looking for a few particular productions, and it looks like most of the ones I was hoping would be talked about don't appear in the book (according to the index). Glancing in there, it...

I don't know how they would be more essential than Rowlf, Scooter, Dr. Teeth, or Janice. It's also interesting because their performers had died so soon to each other, they could have just been reduced to background cameos. After all, they usually just watch the Muppets or show up where the...

I found the TV Tropes thing that mentioned the Sonic CD coding lost, in the "edit history" page for Keep Circulating the Tapes, which for some reason was removed from the page (along with info on the few Sonic games that haven't been rereleased on later systems). And I saw that it did mention...

Top ten best songs to listen to in the car during a drive in the country: 1. "Moving Right Along" with Kermit and Fozzie 2. "So Far Away" by Carole King 3. "Top of the World" by The Carpenters 4. "Sarah" by Jefferson Starship 5. "We Built This City" by Jefferson Starship 6. "Fire and Rain" by...

I was thinking, couldn't they start an official Great Space Coaster YouTube channel, with clips of the non-music segments (depending on whether they would need clearances to include the music numbers on YouTube)? Another thing they could do is put episodes (at least the ones converted to...

What WAS the point of Sega making 32x CD games? You were required to have both a Sega CD and a Sega 32X (and, obviously, a Sega Genesis), but the 32x CD games were just CDs. Did the discs have some way of detecting if a 32X was connected? Just now I thought, "at least people wouldn't need to...

I would have thought it'd be easier to emulate Sega CD games onto disc-based systems, since Sega CD games were on discs. They were able to put several Genesis and Game Gear games on various compilations, and Sonic Gems included a Saturn game. And I've been informed that a number of other Sega CD...

Last night I dreamt that I went to Walt Disney World and the Sweetums walk-around was actually there to sign autographs. I know that while a walk-around sometimes appears in events at the park he's not supposed to sign autographs, pose for pictures, or be close-up to the guests (because it's...

Well, for the last several years it hasn't been that easy to find a Kermit toy in stores, though it was a bit more common when The Muppets came out (and hopefully for us there'll be more when Muppets Most Wanted comes out - or maybe she'll get her wish and there once again won't be much tie-in...

No, Bill Barretta only did Lew for It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie and (the extended version of) The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Matt has been Lew since 2008.

I didn't know it was his birthday. Maybe there should be a birthday banner for him at Muppet Central (though it's been a long time since any new ones were added). It could have Big Bird and '80s Robot in addition to some of Jerry Nelson's characters he has taken over.

A few months ago, I read on TV Tropes that the original coding for Sonic CD is lost, which is why it was left out of the Sonic Mega Collection. And it was said that in order for it to be included on the Sonic Gems Collection, they used a hack of the PC version. And the current digital release is...

I was first exposed to the Chipmunks through Alvin and the Chipmunks. Then I saw the Alvin Show designs, first when the shorts were shown on Nickelodeon's Weinerville and then when Nick aired The Alvin Show (and it seems two of the Chipmunks Sing-Along videos were compilations of the music...

Oh, you know, recently I was wondering if there was a difference between royalties and residuals.

I assumed that residuals are what the songwriters get when their songs are used, and I've read that the show had a lot of established songs (much like The Muppet Show did) and that it would cost a lot to clear for DVD releases. It seems I often learn different things about residuals. I had...

One thing I wonder about is, was Roosevelt really used that much in the first three seasons? I recently saw a magazine article about the second season (it was pictured on the Red Book site) which mentioned Roosevelt Franklin as if he was a new character for the season, though he had starred in...

If it's in alphabetical order, then I'd expect Andy Pig to be listed before Animal. The official description does mention Andy and Randy Pig, though it's possible they're just mentioned/included in a section on Miss Piggy. I feel it might also be cool if there could be sections on various...
