    The Muppet Mindset

    Wayne and Wanda were seen dancing in At the Dance in the third episode. I can't remember if they danced outside of that segment, though they never got any At the Dance dialogue. Which reminds me, back when Palisades made the action figures, I initially thought that if an At the Dance playset...

    Is Gonzo Being phased out?

    I was watching the movie recently and had noticed that, aside from deleted scenes, between the scene with Gonzo quitting his plumbing business and his blowing the trumpet in the opening he does seem to just be there alot (just like many lesser characters in the film). I don't recall him doing...

    The Muppet Show at The AV Club

    All of the first two seasons have been reviewed, and now the articles will be taking a break for the summer, but unfortunately it's unknown whether they'll return.

    Little things we've noticed

    The Muppet Show aired in first-run syndication, so all over the United States the show was on different local stations at different times and different days of the week. Also, a lot of TV shows have changed their timeslots over the years, they were produced for network TV, cable TV, syndication...

    Coming Soon! iYip

    I downloaded this a few days ago. It's fun to use. I noticed on a screen there's a green martian. I've never seen a green one before. Not sure if it was some sort of coloring or what.

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I've read a rumor (which I wouldn't be surprised if it was true) that Jerry Juhl quit writing the movie because of the bathroom humor. The closest confirmation I can find to it being true is a Muppet Central news article which announced that Jerry Juhl left production of the film due to...

    Full-Bodied Oscar

    And in the past few years there's been this trend where on the spine of the DVD releases a character is always shown full-body. The spine of the Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! release shows a full-body shot of Guy Smiley (not sure if it's a new photo or if they added legs to an existing photo...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I assume that any cuts or parts that get put together would have been hidden by the clothing. Aside from Baby Sinclair we never see any of the dinosaurs characters naked.

    Little things we've noticed

    I was looking at the back of Muppet Race Mania recently, and noticed this line of text: "Karting off the lavish sets of their six blockbuster movies". By referring to them all as "blockbuster" movies that would mean Muppets from Space was a blockbuster movie, but that's obviously not true. Talk...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I like the new layout for the Weekly Muppet Wednesday gallery, categorizing by character. Just for fun I decided to keep track of how many articles there are for each category: Muppets - 42 Sesame Street - 31 Fraggle Rock - 13 Other - 5

    Some observations I've noticed on Don't Throw that Trash that Ground

    Actually I read it was September 1989. Sample pages for the 40th anniversary book were shown on Tough Pigs before the book came out, and info on Jim's last day appeared in one of the sample pages (which was not in the final version of the book).

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    Actually it's widely sourced that the performers work freelance. When Steve Whitmire was interviewed for Tough Pigs in 2008 he said that even with Disney owning the Muppets the Muppet performers remain freelance (I wonder if that's changed with the recent movie). But I have read of occasions...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I watched Scent of the Reptile (and Earl and Pearl) last night. It's been awhile since I last watched Working Girl (most of the last season episodes are average, but there are some gems in the last season as well), but I recall there being hung newspapers with headlines regarding the campaign...

    Muppet Freak is back...kinda

    If you have to go without internet in your home for awhile, couldn't you go to a local library and post articles on the library computers? I don't know how it is with all libraries so yours may be different (I assume there's a library iny our town) but my local libraries allow internet access...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    Well she was only seen and mentioned in one episode. Dinosaurs didn't seem to have much continuity, events from past episodes were rarely mentions (one notable exception being at the begnning of "And the Winner Is..." while in "Working Girl" when Charlene applies for a job at the newspaper some...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    After all the plants are distroyed, Richfield says that they've got to make it rain so the plants would grow back. But I wonder if it was that easy. Wouldn't seeds need to have been planted into the ground? Somehow I doubt the old seeds would still be able to grow plants again. I wonder if the...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I remember the first time I noticed a swear on the show, in The Mighty Megalasauras Earl said to Fran "I don't give a **** about your day". I later watched it on The Disney Channel to see if it was cut, and it was cut. Then I noticed a few other swears, I think also in that same episode (Fran...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Very good article. Considering this multi-part article debuted shortly after my top 40 greatest Muppet Show sketches article, I feel like it would be fitting if after this somebody else (i.e. not you or me) did a multi-part series of Sesame Street articles. It would have to be up to whoever...

    Dinosaurs Finale

    I wonder if they planned on ending the show this way when it started. Though the box set for the first season says that the creators made the show to figure out what really killed the dinosaurs: "Was it the ice age? A meteor? No, those were trivial compared to what really killed the dinoaurs...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    Either the day has changed early, or Sesame Workshop has once-again changed when the day changes. It is now "What We Are Day" with Abby Cadabby.
