    Muppets segment on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on DVD!

    I don't know if I'll buy this just for one episode with two Muppet appearances (especially considering I have two different DVDs with versions of the Inchworm sketch). If I was a big Tonight Show fan I might but I've never really watched it much. Still, if this set sells well enough, it...

    Or Justin Bieber. That'd be scary.:)

    Has Big Bird lost his appeal?

    I think it is rumored that Joey Mazzarino and some of the other current writers have trouble writing for Big Bird. Can't remember where I read it (probably the thread about Big Bird only appearing in four episodes this season).

    If there were a Muppet Marathon on television

    I remember that on Memorial Day in 1993 Nickelodeon did air a Muppet marathon, featuring The Frog Prince, The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Secrets of the Muppets, Hey Cinderella, and episodes of Muppet Babies (I remember them showing a special one hour and two MB episodes the next). Back...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    There's a new sketch with Mr. Johnson. Has this been on the show yet this season? http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/7e895c75-349d-4217-aaa0-1cfe8b2e8722/letter_g_game

    The Muppet Mindset

    Ryan, I think you said recently that you might be able to get Dave Goelz to do an interview on themuppetmindset. If you do, I'd like to see some discussion on Digit (such as if Dave Goelz knows why he wasn't used much after The Jim Henson Hour ended), as well as maybe what it was like for him to...

    An old VH1 Sesame Street Music Special...

    I never would have thought they'd needed an updated version of that special for the 40th anniversary. Considering the format of that special (focusing primarily on celebrity performances, and in alphabetical order), the only things made since then that I'd feel really belong are Nora Jones'...

    It's "Letter L Day" with Big Bird.

    TV Favorites

    Today at Wal-Mart I saw two Sesame Street DVDs that I knew nithing about in advance. I didn't pay enough attention to the packaging to see if they are Wal-Mart exclusives like the initial discs that were later released as part of the TV Fun Packs, but these DVDs had the label "TV Favorites", and...

    The Muppet Mindset

    That's an interesting post. I wonder if he expected to get a official answer when he wrote the first article. Though I don't see how the trash can lid would look like a halo if drawn hinged up. Isn't a halo normally seen above the whole head as a circle? Oscar's head would be in front of the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    I've been thinking about how the show seems to have abandoned 1990s segments, and how very few pre-HD segments outside of Elmo's World have been on the show this year... It's bad enough that a few years ago they even stopped showing segments with Jim Henson's invovlement (if you don't count...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I got issue 10 today. I wasn't too excited about the Muppet Mash storyarc at first, but it seems like each issue is better than the previous one. Still, we've gone through three issues of this storyarc, and Sweetums has been the only recurring monster to appear in them. A few original monster...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    I've just noticed that the dates of all journal entries posted correspond with whatever dates the entries are posted on the website.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    If it is an existing street story with a different number and inserts, then this'll be the first time they did that since the format changed.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Ironically, as far as I know, none of the Elmo's World segments were made in HD (not even the ones made for season 39... I don't think they made any new ones for seasons 40 or 41... The "Frogs" episode doesn't count).

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Wow, it seems the 1990s is getting phased out faster than the 1970s and 1980s have.

    Favorite/least favorite segments with many DVD releases

    Over the years many segments have been released on video and/or DVD many times. Many of them are classic and pretty much expected to be rereleased every so often (C is for Cookie, Rubber Duckie, The Alligator King), while others seem a bit random to release so much (Marilyn Horne's "C is for...

    Reintroducing SST Characters in Season Premieres

    It seems like the openign scenes in many of the season premieres reintroduced many of the characters. While this seems like a good idea, I wonder if there was really a point to it. After all, as far as I know reruns were still shown daily between the season finale and premiere, so it's not like...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    I was thinking it would be interesting if there was a DVD spotlightig the various Muppet performers. Perhaps each section could include a mini-documentary on a performer followed by several complete inserts of their characters. This would be a good line-up for a collection focusing on the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Have any 1990s segments even been on the show this season? It's bad enough that they stopped showing Jim Henson's performances a few years ago (and I prefer the '80s to the '90s, and the '70s to the '80s). It will be sad if we get to the first-ever season since season 35 to not include Nora...
