I found a promo for the Play-Along Video series at Daily Motion: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xjwmi5_jim-henson-s-play-along-video_shortfilms It's an interesting promo. Kermit hosts the promo, presenting clips from five of the six videos (Wow You're a Cartoonist is absent for some reason)...

Wow. I didn't know Eric Jacobson is married to a member of the crew. Otherwise, I don't think I learned anything new (that matters) from that interview.

Except for during the first season. And in The Great Muppet Caper. :cool: A funny way to incorporate Walter into a new Muppet TV series would be to have him approve of all major differences between a new show and The Muppet Show. Not sure if the running gag would get old fast or not, but it'd...

Given the timing, it's a wonder they didn't release Muppet Mash, since it's october. Then again, Family Reunion is one of the best storyarcs (along with the first four issues and On the Road), so maybe they wanted to get the next best one rereleased.

It's a shame they didn't skip to The Four Seasons (I wonder if they will in december... Are these reprints meant to come out every three months or four?). Then again, has it been reported that Roger Langridge completed The Four Seasons?

It's been said there'll be a song called Everything's Great. Either that was wrong, or the title was wrong, or it's just not listed.

Yesterday I brought up how Fran Brill was hired, and today Jim Henson's red book notes her being hired for Sesame Street, with an article written by Fran Brill herself: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/09/27/9-1970/

According to Sesame Street Unpaved, most Muppets are replaced every five years, but Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie, Grover, and Kermit are replaced every 10-12 years. Though it seems there are multiple puppets in use for the same characters those times. Obviously most of the season one Sesame...

Today I remembered a mistake I had forgotten about. But I used to think Camilla made a cameo in the movie Hot Shots Part Deux. I saw a commercial for it which included the scene where the main character used a chicken as an arrow, which to me looked like a Muppet chicken (I watched the clip...

It's widely sourced that Fran Brill auditioned for the Muppets thinking she could just do voices, before Jim Henson informed her that the performers do the voices, which she did. But during the early years it was common for characters to be performed by non-performers, from having the human cast...

I've often wondered this myself, especially since those were instances where the characters weren't used again, and could have been any performer. I wonder if maybe Henson wanted background performers/right-handers to stay silent back then (though I would think it'd be easier to just do a voice...

Actually, it seems like transitions between sketches have been common since the format changed in 2002. Transitions seemed to be a bit common in the early years as well (though I do recall a few instances in the 1990s when segments faded to black).

It would be interesting if they gave out a bazillion free tickets and paid for a bazillion people's travel expenses for a free screening. That'd be a cool way for us all to meet (though even if I happened to win I doubt I'd be able to get off work at that time of year), but it'd probably also...

Muppet Wiki notes that the ending to Born to Add is also cut on Learning to Add and Subtract. It's been a few years since I last saw that video, but I wonder if it's cut the same way on both releases. I recently watched Born to Add on Hulu, and while it's not too much longer, I feel it sounds...

I have mixed feelings about this. A few days ago it was said that something big about the Muppets was going to be announced, and I honeslty hope that this isn't it. I was hoping for something more along the lines of announcing every tie-in to the movie that we didn't already know about, or an...

It's "The Right Tool for the Job Day" with Super Grover 2.0.

I think it's a safe assumption that the opening is what starts the telethon (since we see Kermit in the O of "The Muppet Show Telethon" logo being pulled up like in the opening), but I always thought the redone opening would have been a great way to either start or end the movie (though I think...

A few months ago The Jim Henson Company uploaded a clip from The Secrets of the Muppets on the making of Waldo C. Graphic (I figure Disney owns the character, since he's the chase figure in the second wave of Muppet vinylmation), and a few weeks ago a Kermit clip from Sam and Friends was...

I don't ever remember knowing about The Disney Channel airing The Christmas Toy, but I recently found a Disney Channel spring preview from 1990 on YouTube, which included a section on Henson productions that were going to be on the channel, including quite a few I didn't know aired on the...

I've read about the "Crack Monster" cartoon a few times, and the title sounds odd. The name "Crack Monster" sounds like it should describe a crack-addicted monster.
