    Best of Sesame Friends DVD

    I saw both ABC-DEF-GHI and Wheels on my Feet on the show many times as a kid, but I've only seen the other Big Bird numbers on video and/or online. Though the Big Bird montage in the 20th anniversary special includes clips from all these Big Bird numbers (except maybe ABC-DEF-GHI).

    Questions about anything

    Do shows that continually do new episodes all year round (talk shows, news shows, soap operas) group their shows into "seasons"? Because if they don't take a break from new episodes than how would they really determine when a season ends or begins?

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

    There's a number of places that have public restrooms, but they are one-person restrooms, with one toilet and basically being like a home bathroom (but without a bath tub). People who use these restrooms are expected to lock the doors, and yet places that have these kinds of restrooms have two...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    But they have no problem bringing their kids to Sesame Street Live, which has been a success for over 23 years?

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Here's the article that talks about it: http://www.laughingplace.com/News-PID115500-115501.asp Though looking at the article, it looks like the deal was only for theme park and merchandising rights, as opposed to full character rights like I'd thought after all these years.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I recall reading in a Jim Hill article from I think 2002 (one of his later articles involving the planned Henson-Disney merger) that at one point Disney considered buying the rights to Rocky and Bullwinkle after the success of the videos, but spent so much time haggling on the deal that...

    Best Waiter Grover sketch?

    I hadn't seen the air cafe one when I made my previous list, but now it is a great one. I just made a "top ten" list for The Muppet Mindset. I'll have to look at the one I made in this thread and see if there's a big difference...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    I can't believe that mindset exists. Yeah, they can watch the show at home for free, but not that particular story (or they have to wait... and people will have to wait a lot longer to see it on TV than buying the DVD).

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

    On the topic of Mario games, how come world 2 of many games is always a desert world? The desert is world 2 of Mario 2, 3, all or most of The New Super Mario Bros. games, and I think Mario 3D Land. It seems the only way world 2 isn't set in the desert is if the game doesn't have a desert world...

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

    Was Shrek meant to be for kids and adults or just older audiences? I remember when Shrek first came out, I assumed it was for teens and up (though my younger brother saw it with me at the theater), but shortly after somebody referred to Shrek as a "kids movie", surprising me... And then it seems...

    Pre-Order "The Muppet Movie" coming to Blu-ray August 13, 2013

    I was reading the tough pigs forum, and somebody said/speculated that the 2005 Muppet Movie DVD is out of print. I don't know if that user is right, but I have noticed lately when I go to the DVD sections of stores that I no longer see copies of the Disney-released Muppet movies (except for MCC...

    The Cleveland Show likely to be cancelled

    One thing I thought about when it comes to whether Cleveland will come back to Family Guy or not: There's one episode of Family Guy called "Jerome is the New Black", where the gang tries to find a replacement for Cleveland, and they end up finding a black guy named Jerome. The episode doesn't...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    I never did (assuming you're referring to the post about teachers living at school). Back when I was a kid I thought 100 dollars was a lot of money. I'm sure most kids do/did, but I remember the first time I had 100 dollars, and then I spent enough money to have less than 100 dollars (I...

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

    What's the deal with the third "New Super Mario Bros." game being "The New Super Mario Bros. 2", while the other sequels just use the system titles ("New Super Mario Bros. Wii" and "New Super Mario Bros. U")? I haven't played The New Super Mario bros. U, but all three games all feel like the...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    I used to think that dead people could still pee and poop. I remember worrying about them being dressed in their coffins, wondering what would happen if they did so in their pants, since they couldn't get up and go to the restroom. Yesterday i was thinking about something that I used to...

    Pre-Order "The Muppet Movie" coming to Blu-ray August 13, 2013

    According to Street Gang Disney was going to have him sign a ten-year contract for his services to the company, and allowed to work on Sesame Street for only two weeks a year.
