    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I think Disney has released all of it's animated shorts starring it's classic characters (Mickey, Goofy, not sure about Donald and Pluto). I'm surprised Disney hasn't put it's classic shorts on blu-ray yet. But there seems to be quite a few (rather obscure) Disney shorts released in the 1970s...

    SST 2.0: Gabby Tutors a Loser

    I direct you to this thread: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/april-fools-sesame-street-to-target-older-audiences-directly.50795/ And now here's an outline, one that may or may not have a character act out-of-character. I also don't know whether Gabby's still on the show. Scene 1...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Actually the line wasn't cut short. Palisades' contract with Henson lasted until 2005. Disney purchased the Muppets in 2004 and let Palisades continue to make figures until the contract ran out. We got three series after the sale was made, and at the time retailers were losing interest in...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I wonder if Disney would ever release any past Muppet specials as standalone/main feature DVDs, as opposed to being bonus features on the Muppet Show DVDs or as a multi-special set of some sort. I know we got Letters to Santa as a stand-alone, and other countries got the Studio DC specials (but...

    The TV Specials

    My thoughts on the specials that I've seen: The Muppets on Puppets - interesting to see that Jim Henson and the Muppets were big enough to host a puppetry special in 1968. The scenes with the Muppets are the best, especially when Rowlf talks about Kermit and reads a fairy tale, but many of...

    The TV Specials

    Miss Piggy made the same mistake in Miss Piggy's Hollywood. Most Muppet specials (with the exception of the fairy tale-based ones and Letters to Santa) don't have much of a plot focus. Yes to both.

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    These last few days I've been going through the videos, watching through many playlists... Today I've decided to try NOT to watch the ones with the most-views (it'd be great if they reached their goal because of less popular videos). As I've been viewing, I've found that Sesame Street's YouTube...

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

    Frank Oz has stated a couple of times that the original ending to Little Shop of Horrors is more acceptable in the play than the movie because the actors do a curtain call, but how does a curtain call make it acceptable? The characters are still dead while the actors are alive. The actors in the...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    I remember when I heard about this, I was really excited. I was happy to know they got Little Muppet Monsters and the Muppet portions of The Jim Henson Hour. I fantasized about a potential release schedule, and even typed one down (I have since deleted it). And after seeing scans from the...

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

    A few more things about certain movies... In Grown Ups, among those at the funeral of the coach are those who were on the team they had beaten in school. Why would they be at his funeral? They were a rival team/school, and if they were on a rival team. they wouldn't have gone to the same...

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

    Maybe they should have just asked Marty to sign a petition to keep it, as opposed to asking for money. And in 2015 he's once again asked for money to save the clock tower.

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    I wonder if the sponsors are nervous about this. From my understanding, YouTube sponsors pay based on the number of views a video gets, and if a lot of people are watching the videos to bring the channel up to a billion, that's a lot of money to have to pay Sesame Workshop. And I don't know...

    SST 2.0: Maria's car gets stolen

    With this story, which was not mentioned in the april fools thread about the "series", I thought up a quick idea (Maria thinks her car is stolen but it ends up Luis drove it without her knowledge) right before doing the outline and then literally thinking up what to do as I wrote it. I didn't...

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    I know that views for popular videos take awhile to be updated, but figured that videos that get many views at once would still get updated frequently. I've looked at the number of channel views a few different times today (noon, afternoon, night) and it seems they're the same number.

    My Thoughts on JHH: MuppeTelevision Half-Hours

    I've recently looked at the Muppet Wiki pages for all these episodes, and the ratings for the episodes First Episode (formerly known as "The Ratings Game") and Fitness (formerly known to fans as "Health and Fitness") were almost dead last in the ratings (I think one of them was), which is...

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    Another thing I've noticed: It seems every time I look at the thing listing how many video views there's been, it's always the same number. And I've watched several videos today, so the number should have gone up.

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

    In Back to the Future, a preservation society collects money because the mayor wants to replace the clock in the clock tower while the preservation society thinks it's important enough to keep. But what do they need the money for? What if the mayor doesn't accept the money (or uses it to replace...

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    I've been spending the last two and a half hours watching Sesame Street video clips (that were posted by Sesame Workshop" on YouTube. I've clicked on various playlists, sometimes only watching the first few seconds of a video and other times watching full video clips (depending on if a clip is...

    "Why Can't We Be Friends" John Denver episode question

    I've also noticed a lot of lyrics being hard to understand, whether it's the Muppet version or the original. I didn't even realize the Muppet version has alternate lyrics. Zeke's line is "Why don't we drop our guns and all shake hands?"

    Help Sesame Street get 1 Billion Views on YouTube

    I tried watching at least the first few seconds of each (I think just doing that does add to view counts). I tried in order, but it's hard... For some reason YouTube did away with that "other videos from user" thing where when you watch a video you can see a list of some of the other videos...
