    ANOTHER Muppet T-Shirt Design Contest

    It seems you need to sign up in order to even look at the submissions, you need to sign up. But I don't really feel like signing up unless I'm going to submit a design. I'd like to, but not sure if I have the right resources to d so.

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    I'm starting to wonder if maybe somebody will jump from the side of the screen into that spot.

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    It's Peek-a-Boo Day with Bert, plus appearances by Ernie, Elmo, Big Bird, and some penguins (I don't usually watch these video intros as far as I did today).

    Official Disney Character Descriptions for THE MUPPETS

    I've never seen Avenue Q. and don't really know much about it, so... I don't know that gag.

    Official Disney Character Descriptions for THE MUPPETS

    It says that Mary is a shop teacher. I guess that explains why there's a car in the classroom, though I thougth she was an elementary school teacher. I don't think they teach shop in elementary school. Also, it doesn't look like any shop class I ever took (and I only took two shop classes).

    Official Disney Character Descriptions for THE MUPPETS

    I noticed that in the info for each of the Muppets (besides Walter), it mentions one movie with each character plus mentioning "TV's 'The Muppet Show'". And the choices of which movie to mention is odd. It mentions Muppets from Space for Miss Piggy (and that's one of her worst movie roles), The...

    Grover, The Count and Hot Dogs

    Muppet Wiki cites an "earleist known appearance" episode number via the CTW Archives, so that's some proof. I don't think anybody has a copy, but it seems to be transcribed here: http://members.tripod.com/tiny_dancer/waitercount.html Not sure if that fan has a copy or transcribed it by...

    Do you miss high school?

    I definately miss high school (though not the homework or tests). Back when I was in ninth grade I realised that once you're out of school, things like weekends, summer, and holiday breaks are no longer as special (and I imagine it's the same regarding home school). For most of my high school...

    Gonzo the Best Man

    Actually, the trivia question answer is wrong. Gonzo was supposed to play the minister, until a real minister was brought in (upon seeing the minister, Kermit briefly whispers "I thought Gonzo was going to play the minister!", and the comic book adaptation actually has a scene where Gonzo says...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Here's an entry on the bicycle sequence in the Great Muppet Caper: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/09/04/941980/ So we finally know how they did the scene with Kermit and Miss Piggy riding in circles (which Jim Henson once said was so complicated we'd have to figure it out on our own)...

    Where is this Dr. Teeth clip from?

    I found this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXb1C-Cxz3c&feature=related It's odd enough that FYE supposedly sold Muppet Babies DVDs (I thought DVDs were only included with Muppet Babies plush), but there is a Dr. Teeth clip that appears. It looks like it's from the 1980s, but I...

    How did SS evolve from "schoolhouse" to "entertainment?"

    I wonder if there was a minimum requirement of street scenes/new content for each episode. The first few seasons often repeated the exact same segments two or three times (it seems episode 179 repeats most of the same non-Muppet content in the second half). Though it seems it was just the letter...

    "The Muppets" first preview screening

    That scene has made it to a TV commercial recently located online (and the still is at Muppet Wiki), and there is an empty arch where Timmy should be. I would have thought all those monsters were physically there (the arches don't look CGI to me in that shot), unless they just digitally removed one.

    Was the early, non-Kevin Clash Elmo ever in any street scenes?

    Some of this information doesn't quite add up (maybe I should discuss it in the "facts that don't add up" thread). It's been said that Baby Monster was around in one of the earliest seasons, and then was put in storage for many years until they came up with the idea for the Elmo character (and...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    There is a review of Elmo's Music Magic already online, and it turns out What I Am is just a bonus feature (I wonder if it counts among the 13 songs then, though I think the review mentioned it has 14 songs). Still no sign of whether it'll have any classics, but it will have Bert and Ernie's...

    Was the early, non-Kevin Clash Elmo ever in any street scenes?

    Elmo has had his name as early as season 12. A season 12 press release described Elmo as a character who talks in sounds (though obviously there are early segments where he speaks full sentences, perhaps from before he became Elmo). Brian Meehl has an official website, and I e-mailed him shortly...
