I don't doubt there'll be a lot of hype for the 50th anniversary, but I wonder if the 45th anniversary will have a huge celebration. Ever since the 20th season they've been having big celebrations every five years, so hopefully we shouldn't be doubtful. Of course they did skip the 5th and 15th...

On a similar note about fictional live-action characters whose appearance isn't significantly altered for the character, I'm sure that the actors usually get some kind of payment for the use of their image in merchandise, but I've read that Jim Carrey gets a percent of sales from all Grinch...

One thing I wonder about character copyrights: Do live-action "non-fantasy" characters get copyrighted or not? I'm talking about characters whose actors don't wear elaborate make-up or costumes or anything. Often cartoons, puppets, costume and similar fantasy characters will have trademarks...

According to Muppet Wiki, one of the main curriculum goals of that season was to expose many of the classic songs, and it seems many classic songs had gotten new versions, in addition to showing the classic clips. Interestingly, I recall the season two Rubber Duckie was in two episodes that...

Here's something interesting I found: Opening previews that appear on the UK release of Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff. What I find interesting is that it has individual promos for two of the Muppet Video releases (The Kermit and Piggy Story and Muppet Moments) but not the others (that...

Enjoy this outline for Sesame Street 2.0, a fictional Sesame Street series aimed at the older fans. Scene 1 A grouch salesman in a fedora and trench coat bangs on Oscar's trash can, because he has something to sell him: Onion Ice Cream. Oscar has never had onion-flavored ice cream before...

Behemoth - Dave Goelz Birds - Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Louise

One thing that I've often wondered about is two of Jim Henson's earliest characters, Longhorn and Shorthorn. They were cowboy characters who appeared on The Junior Good Morning Show. Anyway, has anybody noticed that there doesn't seem to be any images out there of them? I understand that...

I know this is meant to be a cheap family-market release but wouldn't it be great if it had some of the company's unsold pilots and pitches, like Wizard of Id (not sure if they'd need character clearances) or Starboppers?

On the topic of the "single parent whose fiance secretly plans to send the kid to boarding school as soon as they are married", I especially wonder about it in Problem Child 2. Ben Healy seems to be in better control of himself in this one than in the previous movie, and while he still does bad...

What's the deal with works of fiction where a single parent is to marry somebody who intends on sending the kid or kids to boarding school as soon as they are married? In most cases (that I know of) the parent is unaware of his/her fiance's intentions, but would the parent really allow their new...

I've been wondering how filming and editing has been by now. We haven't heard anything about it in a few months. I assume it's still going to be released somehow.

I first heard this song yesterday and it's been stuck inside my head a lot. I think I'll keep it in my head. From time-to-time I've also had another Norah Jones tune, "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from Ted, in my head. The inside of my head is a great place for music.

Ever since the initial "million muppet march" was announced I've wanted to try to draw a picture of one million Muppets, if there are that many (and if not I can keep drawing the same chicken, penguin, cow, frog, rat, and pig designs over and over). In the past I've done a few Muppet fan fics...

Yeah I first heard about him being arrested for drug use after he had been off the show for awhile. I wasn't really asking about the deal regarding his absence, just the fact that they waited so long to do an episode about it.

I have a few "what's the deal with...?" questions regarding a few shows/episodes. First, what's the deal with Tommy Chong's stint as one of the main regulars on That '70s Show? He was first in the opening credits in season four, after being a frequent guest in seasons 2 and 3. But in season...

Bill, Gil, and Jill would all be performed by their own performers. Professor Hastings would be Eric Jacobson.

Chapter 5 Kermit, Miss Piggy, Walter, and Robin were all alone at the subway station. "Now only a few of us are left", said Kermit, "I wonder if we should just give up." "Now Uncle Kermit", said Robin, "we walked all this way." "So what if it's now just a four Muppet march"...

Chapter 4 Everybody was finished with their lunch. "That was one, one wonderful meal!", said The Count. "I'm sad that I couldn't find any pwaces that served powwidge", moaned Baby Bear. "You should have gone to where I went", said Bear, "they served honey." "Weally?", said Baby...
