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

    I heard about that game, but I had no idea it wasn't released. I even looked it up on Muppet Wiki previously and didn't notice it was an unfinished game. I saw gameplay footage in a video on YouTube called "Sesame Street Game Retrospective", which for a title like that only reviews four games...

    The Muppets Bechdel Test (re. Female roles)

    I can't believe there's any doubt that Miss Poogy is female. Though I recall before the movie came out some fans seemed to speculate that Miss Poogy was a man in drag, and I think Matt Vogel hinted at that in a pre-The Muppets interview, but the movie doesn't seem to show any such indication...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I feel that even though the movie wasn't merchandised well, it seems like the Wendy's kids meal promotion was advertised more than the actual movie was (well, that's advertisement money Columbia/Henson didn't have to spend, basically free publicity while also getting paid for the license). I...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    My first grade teacher sometimes said "if you don't think your brain will turn into a rock". I thought it was true. But I also didn't know what thinking meant. I also didn't quite know what a brain was (I thought it was the body).

    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    One opinion I have which became my opinion a couple of years ago is that the movie is kinda slow and dull between "Saying Goodbye" and Kermit's meeting with Ronnie. There are still some good moments in-between (parts 1 and 2 of Kermit's three-part plan, Rat Scat, Scooter and Gonzo's post cards)...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Today I thought up a "what if" scenario regarding these releases: What if instead of them being compilations, they were video releases of 2-3 full episodes, but still had their titles? This would have made a good selection: The Muppet Review Juliet Prowse Rita Moreno Harry Belafonte The...

    Potential New Muppet Show

    By that logic The Muppets' Wizard of Oz should have aired on NBC instead of ABC. It is interesting, though, that Letters to Santa has not yet aired on any Disney-owned station, but aired two years in a row on NBC and last year aired on The CW.

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 2 now available for download on iTunes

    I just watched episode 1854. As with the other classic episodes on iTunes (at least the ones I've seen) it's great. Interesting to see Snuffy sick. Also interesting that Maria and Linda (I think) seemed to believe that Snuffy might be real even if they think he's imaginary. Big Bird's line about...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    There's a number of times when people claimed I said or did something I'm pretty sure I didn't do, especially right after they happened. Like one time, I did something I wasn't supposed to do. When my mom picked me up from the babysitter, I kept close watch to make sure my babysitter didn't tell...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    At least they didn't just rerelease the season they're from with the missing episode, which would require fans to repurchase that season if they already had it. And at least they didn't just release a "complete series" set with those episodes on it, without the option of buying them seperately...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Well, in fan fiction you don't have to worry abut securing character rights. After finishing this I started wondering if I should have had Kermit and April O'Neil team-up. I'm not sure if they would have had food chemestry or not. Of course April was only a news reporter in the original...

    Time-Life released Sesame Street videos???

    Today I was at Goodwill and found a copy of Getting Ready for School. And I was surprised to see the Time-Life Video logo on the sides of the box. I had no idea that Time-Life released Sesame Street videos, particularly those that were sold in stores. Aside from the Time-Life logo on the...

    Sam & Friends skits on Amazon mp3 and CD in print

    Here's the quote from the interview: I read that you were getting only $5 a show for Sam and Friends. Is that anything like reality? HENSON: Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they...

    Sam & Friends skits on Amazon mp3 and CD in print

    Considering the show used so many existing record tracks, I'm not surprised. I doubt those are available because of they were used on Sam & Friends. I know that "That Old Black Magic", "Under My Skin", and "Where Hunger Comes From" were lip-synched on the show. There's an interview with...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Chapter 4 Grover had run down into the sewer. “Splinter! Splinter!” “Shh, not so loud”, said Splinter. “Somebody called Shredder has captured the turtles, and can hypnotize others.” “We’ve got to rescue the turtles and stop Shredder fast”, said Splinter, ”who knows what trouble...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    Regarding the Kermit and Piggy relationship, I am surprised Piggy didn't consider using the Mind Mist on Kermit. Or maybe it would have been funny if Kermit made a subtle worried reaction when Bunsen presented the invention to Piggy (or maybe he did and it's so subtle we didn't notice :))...

    Was Harvey Kneeslapper really in How to Be a Grouch?

    I don't remember seeing that. But when I looked at this, in the Sesame Street Treasury 40th anniversary collection, it was a new copy at Meijer. It'd be terrible if a page was ripped out before anybody bought it (I can't remember if the pages are numbered or not).

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    I was thinking more about how uncomfortable it would be for the performers to get inside/underneath piles of garbage. What if they accidently got stuck with needles?

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    Last night I downloaded Krangenstein Lives on iTunes, and it was a great episode. It's interesting to see Krang's body move on it's own and even get a voice, and there's a funny subplot where Shredder gets amnesia, but he is still evil. Great episode. Speaking of which, only three seasons are...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    We don't really see them asking for help, but I take it that only Big Bird and/or Zoe asked for help. So why should the whole gang go to jail for it? They did seem to split up (something that should have been done in Muppets from Space), so maybe the others asked for help seperately and they all...
