    abbreviate letter fireworks sequence

    I always wondered why the sequence with the alphabet being spelled out by exploding fireworks was occasionally cut off at M to go to another sketch (nor was the the only one; sometimes the "rolling shapes" skit would be switched off as the pig approched the rectangle and prepared to take a bite...

    strange alien musical number

    I recall this bizarre piece on an alien planet. A strange conductor orchestrates a series of fellow alien musicians that appears one at a time, namely, to the best of my knowledge: -a thin light brown creature with a long snout that make a spring-like sound -a large green frog-like blob...

    Sesame Street Workshop 35th Anniversary Gala Pic

    I've heard that Plaza Sesamo no longer uses Abelardo. Is this accurate?

    don't eat the pictures?

    I always wondered how Snuffleupagus was able to get into the museum (and by extention, back out come dawn) without being noticed--or without damaging the building. The first time I saw his abrupt entrance, I'll admit I was as surprised as Big Bird (namely I jumped in shock as well; after all...

    Best Muppet Villan

    And on that note, does the Riverbottom Gang qualify as well?

    In which special did Kauffman as "Tony Clifton" make an appearance?

    What kind of Big screen movie should the Muppets do?

    Possibly, but I think he's still under too dark a cloud for the execs from the Twilight Zone debacle.

    Harvey Korman irony

    Something deep down tells me that's not something the DVD distributors would like to ordinarily promote.

    What kind of Big screen movie should the Muppets do?

    They could do something akin to The Blues Brothers, where Kermit goes around in essence "putting the band back together", so to speak, for some noble purpose.

    Regarding Pepe

    I think Elmo works best in a supporting role to characters who are psychologically older (like Grover, for example) and can mentor him as the show does its viewers. While he does reasonably enough in a large role, Big Bird does better in that regard.

    Will the later seasons be updated here on sight as time allows?

    Blues Brothers

    There's just something funny about the way Frank monotonously reads off all of Jake's possessions (after making sure he knows to stay behind the yellow line at all times) "...one Timex digital watch, broken....one black suit jacket, one pair black suit pants, one hat: black..." Having him...

    The 30th Anniversary of The Muppet Show

    Perhaps if we're lucky TV Land'll do something big to commerate it, perhaps one of their 48 hour marathons.

    Dinosaurs Seasons 1-2 coming to DVD

    This was always one of the best TGIF shows. Some of their in-show TV paradies would have me laughing till the next Tuesday, especially if it was Mr. Lizard ("Looks like we're going to need another Timmy!")

    Yeah...I found Emmett Otter.

    I found a 2001 edition at FYE for $2 also. They were basically having a "December in March" firesale.

    I think Barkley also went with Big Bird to Japan too if I'm not mistaken.

    It was a sad day when Jim Henson died....

    I've heard they also played "Lydia the Tatooed Lady" at his funeral as well.

    23 Year Old Never Saw How Show Ends - Wondering For Years - Please Help

    Now what I'm wondering is if this was the same ending for the various foreign co-productions as well, or if there was variation on it in different countries.

    Is Frank a sellout?

    Why don't you check the Director's Guild of America's website? It's a reasonable bet he's registered there, and if they don't give you his info directly, it'll probably give you someone who represents him (I tried this last year while trying to get in touch with John Hughes, and it led me more...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    I'm about 85% sure it was on the first season compilation record they released, so if that's out there somewhere, you can find it. I don't know if it's been converted to CD yet, though.
