This is a great release, though two of the Newsflash segments have already been released on DVD (one of them twice). I figured it would include the "Jack and the Beanstalk" segment (it's hinted on the cover). Each street story is followed by a News segment about the subject of the previous...

Well, it's out in stores now. The newsflash segments included are "Rupunzel" (1980s edit), Sleeping Beauty (Prince falls asleep), Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood (with Cookie Monster).

Until I watched the movie with closed captioning turned on I couldn't understand what he was saying there; I was thinking "Jack not (something), Jack JUMP!" It seems like it wasn't a very common misconception among fans, or at least not a widely-reported one. I remember once reading a...

Well, I got the DVD today. Two out of four new-to-DVD Newsflash segments are included. And they are featured as part of the main program, as opposed to being bonus features as Muppet Wiki reported. All four are from the 1970s, but they all include the late-1980s title card. The segments...

I used to think that Sweetums was a bad guy, mainly due to his scenes in The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper, where he's seen running, yelling, and suddenly bursting through things. Even though he obviously wasn't bad before he started chasing the car. I also thought that the other...

I remember seeing the Tough Pigs people talking badly about Muppet Central on the forums years ago, during the era of Palisades Toys and other companies providing insider info here (which Danny seemed to disaprove of). I frequently read the forums there but am not a member (I signed up long ago...

That's interesting information. Where did you find all that info? I guess it must have been the kind of anthology series with the same setting but different characters per show. It's hard to beleive that a Henson-produced production would employ another effects company to make animatronic...

If only the anniversary plush collection had included Murray Monster (and Herry... and Bruno... okay I'll stop now). I'd like to see an official Muppet collectibles guide.

This week is "Magical Magic Day" with Abby Cadabby.

Impressive. Over the last few weeks we've gotten two fan testimonials from children. Interesting.

Around the time that Muppet Central got started, there was a section that reprinted articles from Muppetzine. But over the years this section seems to have vanished. What happened to the Muppetzine articles? It seems to me like they were removed around the time Tough Pigs started... Did Danny...

I hope the deal hasn't ended already. I don't know how well the releases sold, though I'd suspect Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting probably sold as well as the average Sesame Street release. Is there any way of knowing DVD sales? Some of the releases have been hard to find. I've only...

Good interview. The only things I would have added would be discussion on Leon (such as why he was dropped after The Jim Henson Hour) and Baby Sinclair. I had never really noticed Clifford's personality change on Muppets Tonight (when it began my main exposure to the character was The Secrets of...

You forgot to list Charles Grodin in the debunked cameos list.

There have been a few entries about certain scenes from The Great Muppet Caper (pool sequence, parachute sequence... I'm thinking there was another but can't remember), but I haven't seen any entries about any scenes from The Muppet Movie or The Muppets Take Manhattan. I would expect Henson to...

It's been announced that a Road Runner set, titled "Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote: Supergenius Hilarity", will come out on may 24. The contents have been announced... And this will be the first of the Super Stars sets to include cartoons that came after Warner Bros. officially stopped producing...

What I've been doing all month in anticipation for this release is watch one Sesame Street News segment at sesamestreet.org per day since the first of january. It's been a bit fun. And of course I've put a note about it in my signature, altering it slightly as the release approaches sooner (and...

I saw at least one, I think the one with Robinson Cruesoe, where after going into the machine they are shown being sent through the air to their location.

I was just thinking, it would be cool if Disney promoted the new movie with a special, maybe a sequel to The Muppets Go to the Movies, only titled "The Muppets Go Back to the Movies" (a very appropriate title considering this is the first Muppet film in theaters in 12 years). But then again, I'd...

It's "Slow Down and Relax Day" with Murray Monster.
