Since we brought it up in a recent thread, I've realized something about it: how could they have possibly known when the train was going to pass outside the window at the key point in the sketch? Since it seemed to have been shot on location somewhere rather than a studio (anyone have any idea...

Remember this early bit with computer animation that taught basic addition? How many versions were there?

I have fond memories of the one (it may have come not that long after Baker #7 in at least one show) that begins with youngsters feeding the ducks in (presumably) Central Park and ends with them making pernaut better and jelly sandwiches of their own to eat. Who else remembers it, and roughly...

How soon after the show began did the first merchandise based on it appear? And do you think they went into it with merchandising in mind?

How many of these were produced? I saw the ones where the visit the Planets Ch and Tr; were there any others?

That PBS will continue re-airing the show after it does come to an end is pretty much a forgone conclusion. The big question, of course, is how far back will they go for shows? (for example, they currently only run Mister Rogers' Neighborhood episodes from 1979 onward). My suggestion for...

How does the main part of the song go apart from the refrain? It's a little hard to make out since they sing it rather fast. :excited:

I remembered liking this one a long time ago. We panned into the office of an old-style private investigator (to appropriately noirish music), who gave a good long speech on the letter P and the words that began with it. The punchline was that at the end he received a phone call that prompted...

Would anyone have anyone ideas what the show's average Neilsen shares were during its initial run?

Which one would you pick as the most bizarre one? My vote goes to #2; what was the point of the giant bird head and train behind the elevator doors? Plus, Grace Slick sounds pilled up while singing this one.

One segment I have a vivid memory of is one of a young girl and an old woman (who may have been African-American, but it's been too long since I've seen it) crossing a busy intersection together, with emphasis of what the crosswalk signs should indicate to viewers. There was a fairly long...

Browsing through the main LP thread, this one didn't get much mention. Who else had it? It was my favorite of the ones I did have (and it was thus interesting to see several tracks were actual show pieces, including the La-la-la song and "I used to be afraid of... track). My favorites were...

Who collected the various books based on the series? I had about 4 or 5 of them and read a couple of others elsewhere. Perhaps my favorite was The Radish Day Jubilee; its storyline seemed just like an actual episode that I could visualize, and the climax with the Gorgs comically assailing each...

How would everyone like it if they put together all the best Muppet holiday songs ("When the River Meets the Sea," "Keep Christmas With You All Through the Year" "It's in Every One of Us," etc.)on a single album--or, if the rights wouldn't work out for that, have one or several artists cover...

Does anyone know what and when the final News Flash to be produced was?

Seeing how Fozzie's mother was a semi-major player in the late 80s and early 90s, do you suppose they were intending on making her a major character, and if so why do you suppose her appearances then tapered off so abruptly?

What I've wondered for some time now is how he's able to always be around to introduce to the audience the show they're about to see, even those that otherwise little concern him (i.e., why would narrating them be impotant to him?) As I see it, most of these seem to happen around his swamp (but...

Roughly when was Snuffleupagus's first name revealed, and has it ever been explicitly stated why "Aloysius" was chosen?

This one got a lot of air in the late 80s. As I recall, there were 12 entries in the race, which seems to have been a 1,000 meter dash of sorts, including a man and woman, an orange dog, a blue cat, a green ostrich, a purple owl, a white rabbit, and a green parrot among others. It came down...

What I'm asking in this post is on which networks and for how long (as in consecutive years, or if they were one-shotters) the many Muppet specials (both holiday and with the regular characters in special occasions) aired over the years. I hope the way I've worded this isn't confusing.
