    RedPiggy's Realizations

    Are you sure he "fought tooth and nail" and "lost the argument"? Because that doesn't sound like the Jim Henson fans know. Of course I only have the first season set of Fraggle Rock so maybe it was explained that way in the last box set.

    Little Jerry & The Monotones:Muppet Encarnations of Muppeteers?

    Jeff Moss and Christopher Cerf only provided voices, not puppetry. It's possible that Jim Henson might have done the puppeteering for Big Jeffy, but I don't know for sure. Big Jeffy is the only member who looks like any Muppet performer. In early sketches it seems like the performers were...

    Does anyone keep their own sesamestreet.org clip guides?

    Well, I do know that "123 Sesame Street", "See the Signs", and "Monsterpiece Theater: The Sound of Music" were all on the site at one point but later taken down. I know there was another musical performance later taken down (can't remember what the song was, don't remember watching it... The...

    Little things we've noticed

    This may not count in the same way as others, but in James Taylor's "That Grouchy Face" and "Up on the Roof", I noticed that the drummer looked a lot like Caroll Spinney, with a black beard and afro. I'm sure that was probably Talor's regular drummer at the time. I think there was another...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I like it too (I especially like that Lips is included). It would be great if a few different banners were created for different days of the week (like a Sesame Street banner for Sesame Street Saturdays, a Fraggle Rock banner for the "Almost Daily Fraggle Rock Quote" and any other Fraggle-themed...

    Taz-Mania

    I know that there's going to be (maybe is, not sure) as single-disc release in Austrailia. I hope the series gets released in any form in the U.S. (as long as we get a good balance of episodes involving the family, hotel, and outback, and get episodes with as many main characters as possible).

    My Sesame Street Memory Book

    Recently I was at a flea market and found a copy of the 1983 book "My Sesame Street Memory Book" (it says that on the side cover, but the front says "My Memory Book" underneath the Sesame Street logo). I didn't buy it, but I knew somebody who had it long ago and looking through the book again...

    Master Insert Tapes

    You know for years I had expected the performers to just take down their puppets when mistakes are made and maybe show their heads on camera. So believe it or not I was a slight bit disapointed to learn that they stay in character even after messing up. Still, with various pre- and...

    Here's a depressing thought....

    I just hope they were right about us making it to 2015. I hope the 2012 thing was just a wrong prediction.

    Any Ernst Fans?

    A few weeks ago The Nostalgia Critic did a review of Ernest Scared Stupid (and incorrectly referred to it as the last theatrical Ernest movie): http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/28072-nc-ernest-scared-stupid The Nostalgia Critic also reviewed...

    C is for Cookie Monster DVD

    If you count Kermit's appearance in the season 4 premiere then his appearance in the first episode counts; Kermit's appearance on the street in the fourth season premiere was just a cameo. There is something that I had been wondering. The "Monsterpiece Theater" segment that appears on this...

    C is for Cookie Monster DVD

    Well, it was a good release. In my opinion it gets better in the second half. Many classic clips appear in second half, though only one of them (Ernie meets Cookie Monsters cousin) is new-to-DVD. It does have a bit of repitition. Several segments in a row about healthy eating, both disco...

    C is for Cookie Monster DVD

    Well, I bought the DVD. I haven't watched it yet (I'm at the library now), and the Muppet Wiki page doesn't have a full sketch listing, but the DVD is 67 minutes long (I think that's the longest of the WB releases, excluding Follow That Bird). Interestingly, the packagign lists "Ginger Bread...

    When should celebrities write autobiographies?

    Okay, I was at the store today and I saw that Justin Bieber has already written an autobiography. I hadn't heard of Bieber until earleir this year, but isn't it kind of soon for him to have written an autobiography? Over the years I felt that if I was a celebrity I would wait at least a few...

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I haven't been getting that message, but I recently found that I'm unable to post comments in the comments sections of my most recent videos. EDIT TO ADD: In one of my most recent videos, I noticed an icon with "!" in it (between the caption icon and the thing that looks like a word balloon)...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well I've seen it in stores today. I didn't pick purchase a copy, but according to the packaging, it includes four street stories (the oither being "Slimey the Hero"... I don't remember knowing about this story. Makes me wonder if it's the "Super Worm" story from the early 1990s, though it...

    Questions about Puppeteering The Count

    Watching that clip, it's interesting that Kevin Clash only voiced Elmo due to directing. I would have thought it would be easiest to perform and direct the same production if one was a Muppet performer, since performers have monitors to watch what they are doing. Though I read that in The...

    If there were a Muppet Marathon on television

    Many things get edited on TV, for time and content. Syndicated reruns of shows, Peanuts specials, TV broadcasts of movies, classic cartoon shorts... Fans of those most likely got a little annoyed by the edits, but why should the possibilities of edits be any different for Muppets (aside from the...

    Your Thoughts: It's A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie Widescreen DVD

    It's a shame that the bonus CD couldn't have at least included all the songs from the movie (even if they had to take the audio from the film). This would have been a golden opportunity to finally own "Everyone Matters" on CD.
