    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Today I thought of another arrangement of what I'd do for a 45th anniversary DVD collection. I thought perhaps it could include a selection of all the signature songs of the main characters (Rubber Duckie, C is for Cookie, The Song of the Count, etc.) and a few essential songs most associated...

    Jim Henson's 1971 Number Films

    Here's the "Seven Monsters" film: Back in 2009, somebody from Muppet Wiki contacted Karen Falk, who mentioned that Jim made films for the first three seasons. I know he did a #12 film called Raisin Army, I guess that must be from the third season (unless he did two #12 films in the same year).

    Marvel prepares Muppet Omnibus

    The press release IS confusing. And how do we know the "preview" comic isn't among them (it would be great if they'd include the Pigs in Space comic that was left out of the first trade paperback). I guess a good release strategy would be for this to have the preview comic and the first...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I thought that recurring segments often had many installments per season. Okay, so all recurring segments from JHH (Hurting Something and Merlin MD) only had two each (while Bootsy and Brad, the non-Muppet segment, got a few more???), and most of the recurring segments on Muppets Tonight only...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    For a long time I thought the Food episode might have been the first one, then I learned that the one with Bobby McFerrin (officially titled "First Show") was the first. Mainly because of the band being a bit different and an article from Muppet Magazine depicted the band that way, but since...

    Ernie during the Around the Corner era

    It seems like even though Steve Whitmire took over in 1993 that there weren't too many new Ernie appearances between 1993 and 1998. Maybe I'm wrong (in the past few years I have found on Muppet Wiki that a few of Whitmire's Ernie segments that were in episodes during that time). I often wonder...

    Well I just got the kitchen and am digitizing The Swedish Chef now.

    The Sonic the Hedgehog Thread

    I forgot about the human girlfriend Sonic was going to have. She was quite hot. It's a shame she didn't make it as a character. Though I wonder if she would have worked with the format of the games (would she have needed to constantly be rescued? Would she have teamed up with Sonic, like how...

    So when you get the kitchen stage, do all your characters transfer or do you have to digitize them again?

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt I went to a store that had copies of some of The muppet Show compilation videos for under a dollar, and yet I didn't purchase all of them, just three -The Muppet Revue, The Kermit and Piggy Story, and Children's Songs and Stories. They also had Muppet Moments and either...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Last night I dreamt that I saw this, and it was a lot different from how it's been described (for example, it had a boy instead of a girl).

    I'm really wanting to level him up the highest. But he has ways to go. I've been thinking about how the rats in this are musicians.... Wouldn't it have been great if there were different kinds of rats? Besides musician rats, there could have been regular naked rats, hippy rats, stagehand...

    Kermit on FunnyOrDie with Steve Martin

    Quite a few people have said that Kermit and Steve Martin should have done this a long time ago, but Kermit is associated with the banjo more than he has actually played it. Outside of The Muppet Movie and later performances of The Rainbow Connection (and in a bit of merchandise), he really...

    Questions about anything

    Yeah it's from the original VHS release, after it had been rereleased in theaters. Why did a lot of older movies only have opening credits? It seems that until the late-1960s the only end credits were a listing of who played who, though Disney's animated movies didn't do that (Old Yeller...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I wonder what an average number of times a segment has been shown, at least in a season. Or how many times one would have to be seen in a single season to be considered "a lot" (I guess with today's 26-episode seasons three would be the number). Somebody speculated that they just phased it...

    Kermit on FunnyOrDie with Steve Martin

    Does anybody find it weird that this was made for a website called "Funny or Die", yet there's no humor until the end? This would have been better for the Muppet Studios YouTube channel.

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    Street Gang tended to provide paragraphs and even pages of biographical information on nearly everybody mentioned, regardless of how important or associated with the show they are (though there are people who are very important to the show who were mentioned who didn't get much biographical...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    So what do the "friend codes" do, exactly? There is a built-in friend (Cody), and it seems all I can do is visit his stage, not actually collect anything or help. Now I've got Zoot and Mahna Mahna. Oh, and the Divettes, and am digitizing Jax Strumley. I've got Rowlf at level 10, the...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    One thing's for sure: "Crack Master" has now officially taken "Baker #1"'s place as the most-wanted holy grail. I wonder if Sesame Workshop would want to risk putting out a DVD of the scariest Sesame Street moments (maybe THAT would be better for Warner Archive). Stuff like the street scenes...
