Really? I'd heard long ago that Sesame Workshop has restored every episode multiple times over the years. This is the first I heard of some old segments being lost from the archives (unless it's just the master tapes used for putting them in the episodes, while they survive in episodes that...

I've been thinking of the possibillities of a volume 4, and after thinking about it and looking at the episode guides at Muppet Wiki, I actually feel less excited about a potential volume 4 than I did the existing ones (while I feel a little more excited about a set of the season 21-25...

I was just thinking about the ending to Snoopy Come Home, where once Snoopy comes home and everyone is happy, Snoopy decides he wants back everything he gave away (I wonder if he gave those orders to the charities he gave things to), his letter to Charlie Brown telling him that since he gave...

I was thinking, even if Disney did decide to release a two-disc (or however many) "essential" collection, I'd rather it be a collection of existing compilations, preferrably the Playhouse releases, since those do contain a lot of essential clips. Of course a two-disc set probably wouldn't have...

It's a toy with no articulation, always posed. They are also called figurines. I can't remember off-hand what PVC stands for. Yes there was a set for Star Wars. A few sets, actually. It would be kinda funny if they did one of the Muppets as classic Disney characters. Kermit as Mickey...

Here's a listing of what kind of Muppet merchandise I'd like to see up to the release of the new movie. I'll list by times of the year, assuming the release date for "The Muppets... Again" doesn't change. Spring-Summer 2013: More Muppet plush and beanies, both Disney Store exclusives and...

This is good news. I'm excited. I read on the Toonzone forums that the episodes are presented in chronological order, and somebody said something that I hadn't known until now: The entire series was produced in one production season, yet was split into four seperate broadcast seasons. That's...

I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and maybe I am thinking too much, but does anybody else wonder if maybe the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour are what TV Tropes calls an "old shame" to The Jim Henson Company? There's the fact that aside from Clifford hardly any...

Here's a recent post which actually explains how Jim was able to purchase the distribution rights to his work with ITV as well as why he didn't work with that company after The Dark Crystal: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/01/17/1171982/ I had read on the site a few years ago that Jim...

Thinking more about those in-development/abandoned scripts, I find it interesting how there were two scripts called "Next Muppet Movie" (well, one of them has a "The" in the title...). Also two different newer Muppet shows, I assume the one titled "Tom Martin Muppet Show" is the one that was...

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it meant that a Muppet Show in Canada was planned but fell through (well, most of The Jim Henson Hour WAS made in Canada). It would have probably had some Canadian performers. When Jerry Nelson was interviewed for Tough Pigs, he said that...

I was surprised to see that The Muppets on Puppets is not listed at all. Considering that special was included in The Muppet Show: Season Three, I wonder if that was an oversight, if Disney made a mistake, if Disney obtained the rights to that special after 2004, or if Disney had to clear the...

For the most part I've clicked on pictures and then clicked on the images shown below in the bottom of the pages. Turns out another page about Scary, Scary Monsters is included, but clicking on it doesn't present a larger image. And it's quite confusing... It seems that Disney got the rights to...

There's a few things I wanted to say about that blog post but forgot. The various pages from the book are obviously taken pictures (as opposed to scans), and some pages are shown multiple times, at different sizes. One particular page that appears twice in that blog begins with something...

Recently somebody obtained a book documenting the Disney/Henson sale, and posted images on a blog (from what I can tell from a Tough Pigs forum post the blog doesn't show everythign from the book). Here's thye blog post: http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html...

Too bad there's no sign of whether any obscure classic-era characters will be included. Hopefully they'll be included even if they're not on the cover (at first I was worried that Boom would ignore anybody who wasn't on the first cover, and obviously we got many obscure characters in the Boom...

The person who bought the legal book did a blog post showing many pages from it. http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html I've been too excited to read everything, but there is some interesting stuff mentioned. It does acknowledge that both companies have...

If it's a multi-pack and not sold seperately, then I don't see what the harm would be in including an obscure character among five more better-known ones (especially Animal). It seems that most Muppet PVC multi-packs (outside of the Palisades ones) usually only have the best-known... It wouldn't...

Maybe Henson and SW have different policies involving what their interns can do. Also, who's to say that intern didn't have permission from SW?

Also, in 2008, Sesame Workshop allowed fans on it's facebook page to nominate clips for Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days, to vote for certain things to appear in Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, and to vote for nominated clips for the Best of Friends DVD.
