    the "rare treats" of your favorite shows

    When you were a kid, when watching shows you liked, were there any episodes that you really liked, but it felt like the episode wasn't broadcast often, to the point that whenever you did see the episode, it felt like an event? Maybe the episode itself wasn't rare, or there was no reason for it...

    Kermit's green collar

    Anybody ever notice how the first Kermit with a collar, as seen in Hey Cinderella, has a green collar? I don't think this is noted on Muppet Wiki, but Ive always noticed the color on the collar when watching Hey Cinderella. But when watching various Sesame Street season one segments it seems the...

    Suggestion-Muppet Version of "Guess Who" game

    Only one? The game has Kermit, Bunsen, and Dr. Teeth. That's three. Also, I used to think Zoot was green (and I think he actually was for awhile), and wouldn't have seen him as blue if not for this forum.

    1985 Muppet Video promo online... sort of

    Well, the full version of the first promo, advertising only the first four videos, is online now. And it has a different announcer than in the later ones (so that "Kermit and Piggy Story" promo I found long ago would have been edited out of this version). Interestingly, the portion of Rock Music...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Was this really posted on the 28th? http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2012/06/celebrities-you-like-to-see-work-with.html Responses to last weeks question "What celebrities should work with the Muppets?" I check the site many times each day (until articles are posted) and I don't remember...

    Do Bowie and Connelly really dislike Labyrinth?

    Lately I've been a little addicted to the TV Tropes website. Anyway, there's one trope, "Old Shame", which refers to works where people involved are ashamed, sometimes to the point of trying to hide them from the fans. In the "film" section for Old Shame, which can be found here...

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 1 now available for download on iTunes and Amazon

    I watched episode 2598 tonight, and it was better than I had expected. I wasn't expecting much to write about. I wonder if the scene with Snuffy and his grandma constantly missing each other was meant to be a reference to the days when everybody missed Snuffy. Except in this case it's...

    Positive And Negative: Kermit's Swamp Years (Opinions on KSY)

    Pros: Kermit's friends are cool. "Life as a Pet" is such a catchy song. Kermit meeting Jim Henson. All the little fan references. In-Between: I don't know what to make of the pig scene. All the Wizard of Oz references, though I think the movie was referenced so much because it was reportedly...

    The Muppet Mindset

    It's noted that Matt Vogel could most-likely do Sherlock's voice well, but at least for now if Sherlock were to return he'd still be voiced by Jerry Nelson.

    Picture in Muppets From Space

    It was on the covers of some of the Muppet Babies Video Storybook releases. And it's on the back cover of the first Best of The Muppet Show release (with Elton John, Julie Andrews, and Gene Kelly).

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    It's "Sing a Song Day" with Ernie (it might have changed yesterday; I forgot to check the website yesterday).

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I learned several new facts about the Muppets, from a reliable source, and yet all the facts contradicted facts that I've known about for years. And I can't remember what any of the facts are anymore.

    Wierd Things you don't get

    At the end of the Julie Andrews episode, during the goodnight Kermit says that "this has really been a moooo-ving experience", referencing the cow backstage. But for the most part, the cow was only on-stage (the only known instance of the cow on-stage being when The Swedish Chef brings it on his...

    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    Did anyone else ever think that the white dress Jenny wears at the premiere of Manhattan Melodies looked like a wedding dress? That's what I used to think, even though we didn't see her get married.

    Nick at Nite Thread

    I've mentioned it several posts back, but Nick at Nite actually DID have it's own original shows during it's early years. There was Turkey TV, and National Geographic Explorers originated on Nick at Nite (and then moved to TBS). I've heard there was an "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert"-type...

    Wierd Things you don't get

    Actually in The Frog Prince the father is a Muppet and the daughter is a human. It's Hey Cinderella where the king has a human son.

    Wierd Things you don't get

    But she knew that John Denver was going, so that was one other person going. And it wasn't her idea to go camping. Gonz would. He almost married Madeline Kahn, only for her to not want to marry him.

    The Worst Sesame Street Game that Never was... Grover Music Maker.

    123 and Countdown are among the few Sesame Street games I've played. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I was never able to beat the Astro-Grover game in 123. Recently I noticed that Sesame Street ABC has one non-ABC game (the Rubber Duckie game) and 123 has one non-numbers game (Ernie's Magic...

    Potential New Muppet Show

    If this moves forward I hope they don't focus too much more on new characters than old characters. I feel that was one of the mistakes The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight made (though many of those new characters are great). They should focus on as many classic characters first, and maybe...

    Wierd Things you don't get

    In the John Denver episode, after Kermit informs everyone that John Denver had invited them to go camping at the swamp, and they all try to get out of it, Miss Piggy threatens them into going. But right before threatening, she starts her speech with "We're going on a camping trip overnight"...
