    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    I know additional footage is often also added to television airings of Blazing Saddles, Ernest Goes to Jail, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the Problem Child movies. Though I've read that several scenes from the Problem Child movies get censored and the additional footage is added to compensate...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    Yes. And I wonder why Easter is sometimes in March and sometimes in April. No.

    Little things we've noticed

    I noticed that in the talk spot with Juliet Prowse, Kermit points out that Juliet is "going to be on the show a lot". Of course like every guest star she never appeared on the show again, but I wonder if there was consideration early on for celebrities to return as guest stars again (perhaps...

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    I got the book. It's a good read. So much I'd like to comment on yet I don't want to spoil the film (well, maybe I will spoil the film.... With money by seeing it many times!)

    The Muppet Show...Continued?

    Why do I have the feeling that if there is a new series soon it'll be called (and I don't want it to be called) "The Muppets"?

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    The Sandy Duncan episode is the only time he was full-body, and in that appearance he was sitting. So I wonder if he was worn like a costume (I noticed he never opened his mouth in that scene) or if they attached clothing to the puppet and used some clever trick to hide the puppeteer performing...

    The Muppets (2011) Movie News

    Somebody on the Tough Pigs forum said that after reading the junior novelization the empty arches make more sense, though I read the whole thing and didn't notice anything that made it make sense. But we only have a month and a week to go!

    Muppet homes we've seen

    Oh yeah. And that was also Johnny's house as well (though at the end f\of the episode "Johnny Fiama Leaves Home", she said Johnny moved to the YMCA). We've also seen Statler and Waldorf live at a nursing home in the first season of Muppets Tonight.

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I just read the whole junior novelization, and I noticed that Janice got a line in the book (not sure if the person who saw the movie forgot about the line or if the book did it differently or if it's not even in the movie, though in my opinion it looked more like something Floyd would say).

    Muppet homes we've seen

    I thought it might be fun to list the various homes we've seen that the Muppets have lived in (I wonder if the list would be interesting enough for a Muppet Wiki list page). Here's some, grouped by character: Muppets (many): Muppet boarding house, Muppets from Space Apartment building...

    Pre-Order The Muppets Original Soundtrack

    I forgot about that. If dialogue tracks lead to music tracks it can be good to hear them back-to-back on the album, but if listening on an ipod, if listening to tracks in the usual alphabetical tracklist instead of by album, I imagine it could be annoying listening to a track but not getting...

    Paging Drtooth

    It seems like Disney has released all of it's politically incorrect shorts on DVD by now (though I know there are a lot of Disney shorts from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s still not on DVD, but I don't think many of those have familiar characters), so I find it odd Song of the South remains...

    Paging Drtooth

    Speaking of Adult Swim, I remember when the block began, I was hoping it'd be a way to showcase classic WB, MGM, and Popeye cartoons that the channel otherwise showed uncut, especially the politically incorrect cartoons (ironically, Adult Swim has shown some poliitically incorrect shows intended...

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    I happen to be a big fan of the majority of late-1960s WB shorts. Though I don't care much for the Merlin shorts, or Chimp and Zee, or See You Later, Gladiator (which, at least on the GAC forums, is universally considered the worst Daffy and Speedy cartoon). I was happy that the Road Runner...

    Muppet Books Review

    It appears that "I Am Kermit the Frog" and "Meet the Muppets" are adaptations of the movie, but they don't appear to be too detailed or spoilery. "I Am Kermit the Frog" focuses more on Kermit, with the beginning being based a bit on The Muppet Movie (Kermit deciding to leave the swamp to go to...

    Muppet Books Review

    I can't remember if I saw '80s Robot, but I Am Kermit the Frog and Meet the Muppets do have Walter and the Moopets (I don't think it shows the Moopets outside of Kermit reuniting with Fozzie). I didn't notice them in the sticker books.

    The Muppets, The Movie Junior Novel

    Until I saw these pictures, I thought that shot of the gang was in the auditorium. I hadn't noticed 'till now that it's backstage. And it looks like the backstage has an extra floor.

    Muppet Books Review

    I've seen all these books at Books-A-Million today and glanced through them (I only purchased the movie junior novelization), and noticed that hardly any obscure characters besides Uncle Deadley appear in the books; The most obscure ones I spotted are Sweetums and The Newsman. I was hoping...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I was recently reading Roger Ebert's 2000 Movie yearbook, which featured his reviews from 1998-1999, and I noticed that he never brought up Pepe, though supposedly every critic who otherwise disliked the film praised Pepe. Also interesting is that he apparently didn't review The Adventures of...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I saw the new movie, but missed the beginning. And in my dream, the Muppets never raise enough money. When Kermit makes his "I beleive in you" speech, he asks "Give me a show of hands. How many of you have caught 23 pianos shot out of a cannon?", to which Gonzo raises...
