Today I was thinking about who could be today's featured Muppet, and kept suspecting Gobo.

A detail of my dream that I forgot to mention: After I made the purchase and took it home I got it out of the box and it ended up being a VHS copy of The Muppets Take Manhattan in the wrong box (and the video store I know of that had these videos for rent never had The Muppets Take Manhattan)...

One joke that I sort of get but its really confusing. In the Teresa Brewer episode, during the sketch with Teresa and Sweetums, Waldorf comments "it's the old monster-and-swing bit again", or something like that, commenting that they tried to sneak it past them again. An awkward joke, since...

Last week I dreamt that a video store I used to rent videos from most of the time that closed in 1996 was suddenly selling everything it had for rent. This video store had four of the Playhouse Videos, and was one of the few places I remember seeing those videos in person. In my dream they were...

A few years ago I bought a used copy of one of the newer TMNT video games, Mutant Nightmare, just because Turtles in Time is an unlockable bonus. At first I struggled to get past the first or second level, gave up on it for a few years, and then motivated myself into putting in more effort...

Recently I've been reading about VCR games. I've sort of known about them for awhile... A year ago I was at somebody's house and saw they had an old board game which referred to itself on the box as a VCR game. I was intrigued, though I didn't ask about it or inspect the game further. But then I...

This week is "Mommy Time" with Elmo.

That's happened to me before. A couple of years ago I found that all comments I posted, even on my own videos, had disapeared, and all video responses I posted, even video responses to my own videos, had disapeared. I didn't get any notifications or warnings or anything. One thing I find...

The book TV Land To Go has a section on publicity stunts "that may have gone too far". Some I remember, some I don't (actually most of the ones I don't came before my household got cable). I've been looking for many of them on YouTube, with no luck. I found one, a "String-a-Thon", a pledge drive...

I know it was recorded, but never intended to air or be released commercially. The book Street Gang says that there were offers to have it broadcast, but the Hensons turned it down.

I should have checked the book beforehand, but I checked, and I was wrong about who the quote was from. The quote was actually by Bob McGrath, who obviously wasn't in the segment. But then again, just because he wasn't in it doesn't mean he wasn't there to watch that day.

I'd like to know about the making of this segment. In the 40th anniversary book, somebody talked about the making of a segment that required many performers and a big set, they didn't say what scene it was, but I'd like to think it was this one. Can't remember whether the quote came from Kevin...

I wonder about that as well, but then the rerelease also had a Grover segment replaced with another segment. Don't know what was so wrong with the Grover segment. But would a young Maria really be a problem? Rock & Roll and Dance Along both include a very young Gina, and as far as I know...

In my last post I was rating the various TMNT productions and video games, and now I wonder if it was unfair for me to give the entire 1987 series a 10. It's been a long time since I actually watched the series, and I'm pretty sure I didn't watch the last two seasons (though I do remember that...

You know, The AV Club just recently reviewed that episode, and the writer there was wondering whether it was improvised or not.
