    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    It would be interesting to know what everybody's "future plans" were before deciding to take Manhattan Melodies to Broadway. I'd be surprised if the jobs they took after leaving were what they majored in. The Electric Mayhem were probably planning on a music career of some sort (and they settled...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Chapter 3 Down in the sewer… “Alright, turtles”, said Grover, “let’s FLY!” “Uh, Super Grover 2.0”, said Michelangelo, nervously, “we can’t fly.” “But I can”, said Grover. “We know”, said Raphael, “you’re also not a turtle, dude.” “Oh”, said Grover. “You must also stay underground...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Chapter 2 The gang went down in the sewer. “Watch your steps”, said Leonardo. “I like the look and smell of this place”, said Oscar, “did you know that I almost lived in a sewer before settling for my trash can?” “Why did you talk me into going down here, Ernie?”, said Bert. “I...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Enjoy this fan fic, in which the Sesame Street cast teams up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Imagine the turtles being the versions from the first two movies, even if they seem to have their animated personalities. Chapter 1 It was an ordinary day on Sesame Street. The Count was...

    Lips

    He didn't have a personality, but I like to think he was shy (like his performer, Steve Whitmire) except for whenever he was playing the trumpet. Then again, maybe he was really shy, despite playing the trumpet like a pro, and left the group because his trumpet-playing drew too much attention...

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

    I'd want the card pieces to have mouth movement, which was what I expected (ignoring the fact that the talking faces in the commercials were obviously animated, seperately from the game pieces). On the subject of merchandise, I saw a commercial for an elephant headed shower, which I guess you...

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

    I used to think that the Guess Who game cards talked, because they did in the commercials (even though the announcer stated "game cards don't actually talk"... But I thought it meant regular playing game cards, not the Guess Who pieces). In fact I feel like one time, long before I actually...

    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    Some more thoughts on The Muppets Take Manhattan. I liked this movie a lot better when I was younger, but now I like it a lot less. I think one of my reasons for liking it so much is because at the time it was the only Muppet movie I didn't have a copy of, and it was hard to find in stores...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    This year has been an interesting year for Sesame Street DVDs so far. These past two years there was pretty much one new DVD a month, though the last few months of those years were without new releases. And this year it seems it was one new release every other month, though there have been a...

    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    I have some things to say, but don't have much time right now so I'll just comment on a few things: I've always thought this one looked the most like it's time period. The other movies either have a timeless quality or take place in the past. Muppets from Space and The Muppets also seem a...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    I just figured out how they COULD have made Grouchland a live set, though I doubt the cast and crew would have wanted to do it: Just film in a junkyard or city dump and say that's Grocuhland!

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    Floyd did get a line during the "Brick House" sequence. Animal cuts past him in the bathroom line, and Floyd shouts "What? Hey man!"

    Little things we've noticed

    I was watching Hey Cinderella today, and something hit me. When Cinderella wonders what kind of present she could possibly give the king, Arthur points out that he doesn't have a backscratcher, which she ends up giving the king, who later remarks that a backscratcher is the kind of present a...

    Some thoughts on Muppet Treasure Island

    I think it would have been hard to give The Electric Mayhem big parts in The Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island. Are there any classic stories out there with roles that can easily be filled by The Electric Mayhem (I know, they were among the stars of Muppet Snow White, though...

    Positive and Negative: Elmo In Grouchland

    I wonder what's cheaper, shooting on location or in a soundstage. I would think an indoor set would cost more because you'd have to pay for studio space and need to build sets and such (though they would have had to build the outdoor Sesame Street set in Follow That Bird), but then again, it...

    Google Screws Us Over AGAIN...

    Couldn't people still make "poops" if they have their own copies of the footage, on video or DVD (or download)?

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    So cool that Pops will be the focus of an issue. I guess he'll be the most minor character to get this kind of focus (unless one of the other issues surprisingly focuses on another minor character). Though I have a feeling Pops will be just as featured here (if not less) as Gonzo was in "Gonzo's...

    Has every Muppet been seen with a celebrity?

    The houses weren't seen with any celebrities. Neither was Vendaface.
