    The Twiddlebugs' Smoke Detector

    Hulu just added a Twiddlebugs sketch that I hadn't heard of before, and it wasn't listed at Muppet Wiki (until I just added the info). http://www.hulu.com/watch/152696/sesame-street-the-twiddlebugs-smoke-detector#s-p1-sr-i1 This was a great sketch. I wonder who performed the Twiddlebug...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Well, I just got the second issue of Family Reunion, and one thing I'm wondering: Is the patient in this issue's "Veterinarian's Hospital" sketch supposed to be the Snake Frackle? He looks a bit like him, but also looks like it could just be a green whatnot. Even if it was meant to be him I...

    Any Uncle Wally fans?

    He was in a three-part soap opera parody sketch with the humans. I can't remember the title or if I've seen it, but it had to do with feelings, and I think Gordon played a doctor (when the cast appears in other roles, is it the characters playing the roles or the actors playing different...

    Which Sesame Street character should get a Greatest hits DVD next?

    Dang it! I listed Kermit's Mystery Box twice! How could I have made that mistake? Now that I think about it, if it had a "Kermit and His Sesame Street Friends" title, then I guess it would be a bit more acceptable to include segments where Kermit is just part of the gang, like Do De Rubber...

    The Muppets have a table read for the new "Greatest" Muppet movie

    I wouldn't count that as "breaking the fourht wall", as I figure he was singing to the live broadway audience (though we don't know how they were able to see the wedding). Actually, The Muppets Take Manhattan is the only Muppet movie where they never acknowledge being in a movie. If this...

    Any Uncle Wally fans?

    I wonder if maybe they had trouble writing for Uncle Wally, or maybe if his old age prevented him from doing a lot (of course he was on the show for at least six years). I'm not familiar with Bill McCutcheon's other acting roles so I could be wrong about that. But I wonder if there were any...

    Which Sesame Street character should get a Greatest hits DVD next?

    I've been thinking, one great but most-likely unlikely idea woyuld be "The Best of Kermit & His Sesame Street Friends", featuring segments where Kermit appears with other major Sesame Street characters. Maybe the plot could involve Kermit visiting Sesame Street to recall the good (and bad)...

    Happy Birthday, Frank Oz!

    I'm celebrating by watching The Muppets Take Manhattan. I've also watched some Frank Oz clips on sesamestreet.org (some Grover clips and the #3 ball film).

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Now that I think about it, the "African Alphabet" clip could be the version performed by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, though that's shorter (it's pretty much just them reciting the alphabet and I think LBM singing the same closing line). But I guess if it was the announcement would...

    New video series - Preschool is Cool!

    I recently read at The Muppet Newsflash that there will be a new series of Sesame Street DVDs called Preschool is Cool! The first such release will come out in July and will be called "ABCs with Elmo". It will include African Alphabet as a bonus feature (I assume it's the Kermit version as...

    Genesis Counting Cafe game info

    I know that Muppet Wiki does have a page for the game. I've seen a video somewhere of somebody playing and reviewing the game (can't remember who it was, but it wasn't the angry video game nerd or irate gamer).

    Decline of entertainment?

    Another show that for the most part didn't have network interferrence was SCTV. I don't think that was cancled by NBC... I know NBC wanted to put Friday Night Videos in SCTVs time slot and wanted to move SCTV to a family hour time slot, requiring the show to be more family friendly (in addition...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, it's been announced that a new video, Preschool is Cool: ABCs with Elmo, will be coming out on july 6. It appears to be part of a new series of Sesame Street videos. It was announced that African Alphabet will be included as a bonus feature. That's not much of an incentive (it's been...

    Muppet Snow White

    I've only seen the Snow White 5-page preview (with the exception of the Muppet Robin Hood trade paperback I haven't seen any of the full story adaptations, whether individual or paperback), but it's interesting how it's said that Snow White had black hair, yet Spamela is a blonde. Does Lips...

    A Muppet Freak Update

    I can't imagine there being any episodes of TMS where there's not much to talk about. Even if there's not much known behind-the-scenes or notability, I'm sure every episode has somethignt o make an observation about. Then again, there are some that I can see it being hard to talk much about (Ben...

    A Muppet Freak Update

    While reading "Watch Along with Connie Stevens" again, you were wondering if Miss Piggy's had cosmetic surgery to have hands instead of hooves. But I think Lydia is the only anthromorphic Muppet pig to have hooves instead of hands.Annie Sue has hands, Link and Strangepork have hands when seen...

    Your Favorite SST Muppet Design Through the Years

    I think season 6 or 7 (1974-1976). The earliest-known appearance of that sketch is a season 7 episode. The puppet in that one looks newer than the one in the "weather salesman" sketch, confirmed by Old School Vol. 2 to be from season 7. I figure the "weather salesman" sketch is the first where...

    Which Sesame Street character should get a Greatest hits DVD next?

    I think that title sounds a bit "odd" for a release. Maybe if it was a companion DVD to "40 Years of Sunny Days", or if it were a collection of the most obscure Sesame Street moments of all time (or at least the best ones). I think it would be best to give a Forgetful Jones release a title like...

    Elmo in Grouchland: NTSC Widescreen?

    I'm not sure, but I think it's in widescreen as an iTunes download. Otherwise, I don't think there are any widescreen DVD releases.
