Here's an entry that notes several things Henson did in a single weekend. I can't remember if this was the first time they included an entry with so much noted, though I wondered if there were any dates where Jim did so many things. http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2012/05/19/518-191985/...

Some of my favorites: *An "interesting experience" as told by Paul Williams *Furnature Monsters *"News reporters are blowing up" *Mallard-itis *Food made from wool *"Beef falls dramatically" *"A green and black-striped maceral has been elected king..."

Considering that "executive producer" is often just a title (even though there are many E.P.'s who DO the work to earn the title as well), maybe there should be a book: "Anyone Can Be Executive Producer". :)

So first-run syndicated shows can't be seen in reruns (then again, The Muppet Show hasn't been in US reruns for over a decade)?

I couldn't find any threads here that mention this, but it's come to my attention that the company that has the rights to this show needs money to save the show. Here's a link: http://www.indiegogo.com/TGSC According to the page they reached their goal to raise enough money to save one...

On the subject of whether the Muppet performers are allowed to be interviewed anymore, I remember when Tough Pigs did the video interview with Whitmire, Jacobson, and Vogel Steve Whitmire said he wanted to discuss the movie but couldn't until after it came out. Well, it's come out. But it...

While playing most of Turtles in Time the other night, I've found that the game is somewhat easier for me than it had been a few months ago. With the exception of the first battle with Krang and the Shredder battle, all of the bosses seem to be equally difficult (it's also a bit difficult to...

I've read in Hulk Hogan's autobiography that he got the executive producer credit in Suburban Commando but in that case it only meant he got an extra paycheck, while years later when he was executive producer of Thunder in Paradise it was more than just a title.

I knew what seasons were produced for first-run syndication. I was referring to the rerun syndication package (sounds complicated referring to a rerun syndication package when the show originally was syndicated). It would be sad if the CBS episodes were never included (unless they added a second...

Interesting that they just put Rowlf's right arm in a sling as opposed to just pinning it to the side of his body. Rowlf's voice sounds the roughest I've ever heard it (it didn't sound that rough a year earlier in Dog City, can't remember how it sounded in the Walt Disney World special)...

Wouldn't it be great if this came with bonus episodes of the show (preferably ones still waiting for release)?

I would assume that the original series had a syndication package, I think there's more than the required 65 episodes, but I barely recall seeing reruns. I think I saw some on USA, but otherwise I mainly remember watching the show in it's first-run syndicated form and on CBS. But I especially...

Okay, so The Muppets Take Manhattan is supposed to be a different continuity than The Muppet Show and other productions, right? And I've always noticed that this is the only one where they don't acknowledge being in a movie. But I just noticed some slight fourth-wall breaking. It comes when...

I haven't read the article yet, but this whole thing sounds like a belated april fools joke to me.

I get the feeling that The Jim Henson Company was run more like a business after Jim's passing. Don't know for sure, but I get that feeling. I also feel like Sesame Workshop has always been treated a bit more like a business, though obviously not a big corporate business like Disney.

Noticed a few mistakes there. Kermit did not wear a wig in the "Inchworm" sketch (could you have been thinking of "I've Grown Accostomed to Your Face"?), and The Jim Henson Hour did not last two seasons (that was Muppets Tonight). That must be the longest Weekly Muppet Wednesday article, and...

I think it should have been obvious he's just been on the set one day a season. I think I read that fact somewhere before, but even if I didn't, he only did two segments for season 40 (Mad Men and a Marshall Grover segment), I don't think he did anything for the show in season 41, and for...

I saw an interview with Matt Vogel yesterday. So I guess they're not restricted from interviews. Here's the Vogel interview: http://schooltheatre.org/publications/dramatics/2012/05/man-and-muppet But it is weird that the majority of post-movie interviews from Tough Pigs and The Muppet Mindset...

It's "Pet Animal Day" with Rosita.

It's been announced that in August there'll be a DVD called Elmo's Alphabet Challenge. And it'll have original footage. I can't tell by the description whether it'll have any existing segments or episodes or if it'll all be new footage. I normally prefer Sesame Street video releases that contain...
