    Which performer should get a documentary next?

    I've noticed that Sesame Workshop doesn't seem to have been involved with the Kevin Clash documentary or upcoming Caroll Spinney documentary (aside from providing clips and approving the use of character names on titles), but the two performers who have gotten recent documentaries are ones who...

    Your Thoughts: "Being Elmo" Kevin Clash documentary on DVD and PBS

    Well I finally got it today. And it is a good documentary. I was a little surprised by all the images from The Muppet Show, which Clash did NOT perform on, as well as all the Sesame Street clips from before he joined. I expected Richard Hunt's Elmo, and maybe a few clips from when the show...

    What's happened to Marvel's Muppets Comic?

    I think I read at Tough Pigs long ago that Disney's license with Boom mean tthat Disney gets the copyright for the comics as soon as they've been released, otherwise Disney would have to pay for the copyright. I'm hoping Disney would have paid for The Four Seasons so we could get it. At this...

    Rowlf and Baskerville Go to the Jungle

    Chapter 2 The dogs had finally arrived to the jungle. "Ah, the jungle!", said Afghan Hound, "it smells so grand here!" "I know", said Lyle, "it's a thing of beauty!" "Woof! Woof!, barked Muppy. "I can't wait to get some of that dog food!", said Baskerville. "I bet it tastes...

    Rowlf and Baskerville Go to the Jungle

    Chapter 1 Rowlf and Baskerville were having lunch at the canteen of the Muppet Theater. "I'll have an order of Purina Dog Chow", said Rowlf. "I'll also have Purina Dog Chow", said Baskerville, "that and some asparagus." "Two Purina Dog Chows and asparagus!", shouted Gladys. "I...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    In the movie, when they have trouble rehearsing, Floyd says it's because they need drumming, to which Animal reacts in panic. But I wonder, couldn't they have gotten a different drummer, while also keeping Animal there (I wonder if they needed to pay all the Muppets who took part in the...

    DVD wish list.

    Shows that have begun on DVD that I'd like to see completed on DVD: The Muppet Show (of course!) Newhart (still only one season...) Get a Life - in season sets (only two single-disc releases exist) all remaining Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies (yeah, it'll take some time) Hey Arnold! Peanuts...

    What was the last Henson thing you watched?

    That's the one with Harvey Korman. About a half hour ago I watched the episode with Valerie Harper, since Easter's tomorrow and it has that scene with "The Easter Bernie".

    Sesame Street comics coming fall 2012 from Ape Entertainment

    One of the articles says that they want to include a balance of new and old characters, but they didn't exactly say it'd include obscure or old school characters. I'm sure characters like Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, and The Count will be seen in the comic books more than they have in the last few...

    Muppets Infographic Highlights Walter's Fandom

    I don't quite get it. It's a cool-looking image, but is this a common type of thing or have there been things like this before? It's cool that the Gonzo part includes eating tires, makes me wish there were more references to specific episodes/productions. Wish the Gonzo section had included...

    The Muppets Blu-ray Easter Eggs

    You know, now I wonder how big Muppet fans the crew really is. I don't doubt they are big fans, but I now get the feeling they're not the kind of fans we are. They said they wouldn't compete against us in a quiz, made a mistake about the Rudolph Nureyev episode, seemed to think Behemoth is a new...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    You know, I almost considered NOT doing an april fools post this year, but then this idea suddenly hit me. Though I did think of ideas for two other April Fools threads which I had forgotten about. Thought of one where I was going to say that Disney was going to release a three-disc set of...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    You sure are lucky! It's been said that the company producing this documentary will have to get clearance from many companies, saying that home movie footage and footage of Caroll with Picklepuss will be easier to clear... I wonder if footage owned by Sesame Workshop will actually be...

    I haven't bought the DVD yet, but I'm wondering, does this documentary include any of Kevin Clash's other Henson work besides Sesame Street?

    Future Dr. Seuss Films

    There's one Dr. Seuss book I only read once but thought was interesting, it was called The Kings Stilts. I think that could make a good live-action movie, if it had a dark look and feel as opposed to being too cartoony. Maybe I just liked the black and white artwork too much (in fact quite a...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    And of course, Walter watches The Muppet Show, which Uncle Deadley was a part of. And he was in the final part of the opening, which Walter was seen watching on TV (he also watches a clip from the Julie Andrews episode, an episode Uncle Deadley made a brief appearance in). I noticed that in...
