    Little things we've noticed

    I haven't seen that video in a long time, but it was a great compilation. Too bad most of them aren't on YouTube. The ones I have found on YouTube (The Muppet Revue, Children's Songs and Stories) are actually hard to find if you search the titles (the person who uploaded Children's Songs and...

    Segal Might Love The Classic Muppets...

    Well, Gonzo is shown wearin g his 1980s sweater vest as opposed to his original purple tux, so I guess the filmakers aren't completely stuck in 1979.

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    I think I read somewhere that Jason Segal didn't know who Uncle Deadley was until he was shown... Considering his reported fandom, I am surprised. But maybe he didn't know the character by name, because I'm sure many casual fans would have at least recognized him from old group photos. Sure, he...

    Segal Might Love The Classic Muppets...

    I was just wondering if whatever Pepe's pressence in the movie will be treated like one of the Sesame Street cameos in the first three films, perhaps even questioning his absence. I think somebody here wondered if Bill Barretta asked to have Pepe in the film... And I wonder if it works that way...

    Sesame Street Season 42 News

    Wait, when's the last time he performed Bert (or Cookie Monster, for that matter)? I've seen a quote from the Jim Henson era where Frank said he wouldn't want to perform Bert to anyone else's Ernie... Considering that I'd expect Bert to be performed by Eric more these days. I wonder if anybody...

    Sesame Street Season 42 News

    I didn't see it mentioned in this thread, but in the last two weeks the people at Tough Pigs visited the set and did some interviews. It was reported that there will be an episode focusing on Ernie and Bert, which'll also feature Susan, Gordon, Maria, Luis, and Oscar (and no sign of Elmo as far...

    I can't wait to see the whole thing! Though I wonder if Mr. Johnson recognises Grover as Spider Monster.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well I finally saw a copy in person and read the back. I didn't pick it up, but it said on the packaging that it contains "two bonus classic versions of The People in Your Neighborhood" in addition to the Ben Stiller version. I think I'll wait until I know which classic versions are on there...

    Write it Down

    I thought I'd talk a bit about the Sesame Street song "Write it Down". Sesamestreet.org recently added the rap version with Maria, Luis, David, and Forgetful Jones: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/48c26e7b-233d-4db6-a090-30fbcb81db30/write_it_down It is a good...

    Little things we've noticed

    That was a very good blog post. Though I never noticed Scooter showing any resentment towards Robin. Robin may have been in most of the songs requested, but he wasn't in "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" (requested by The Swedish Chef) or "Inchworm" (requested by Waldorf). And it is...

    2011 Muppet Movie plot officially announced

    There's a few things I've noticed that I'm wondering (and I'm okay with spoilers, for those of you h=who have seen a draft of the script). Many articles mention that the movie shows what Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and Animal have been up to, and they are the only ones on the poster. I hope we...

    Muppet Movies Actual Box Office!

    Are you talking about in today's ticket prices? Because I was looking at the profits you mentioned and The Muppet Movie is the only one that made more than 50 million dollars at the box office.

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I saw the new movie (though felt afterwards that I missed the ending). While the recent Time article confirms that Elmo won't make a cameo, in my dream the movie included cameos by Ernie and Bert (with Bunsen and Beaker), Cookie Monster, and a scene at Hooper's Store...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    I used to think Oscar's trash can had no bottom (or had a hole in the bottom) and that Caroll Spinney performed Oscar from underneath the trash can. I was surprised when I saw the A&E special and saw that the hole is actually in the back of the trash can (I figured that was how it's done when...
