But wouldn't likeness renegotiations have had to have been made for broadcasts once Disney bought the Muppets and the first half hours? Sometimes I wonder if Jim Henson ever intended for The Jim Henson Hour to be rerun in syndication once enough episodes were made, or if he ahd any kind of...

Honestly, I alwaysd thought of Charlie as being an Anything Muppet humanoid, not a monster (though I guess a monster would be more likely to tolerate Grover's mistakes and customer complaints). I think the orange monster mentioned is the manager seen in the "service bell" sketch, but he's...

I noticed that the Sesame Street 20 years press release includes copyright info on Kermit, but the Dog City one gives no copyright acknowledgement for Rowlf. Werid. I noticed that my Sully article included some images from the skit where Biff and Sully get angry, and now I wodner how I could...

What he said! The only thing I can see being cut if it's just the half-hour segments is the mention and clips from the second half hour. For the most part those are the only instances when the second half hour was mentioned in the first half hour (the only exception being Miss Piggy's Hollywood...

Something I was thinking would make a cool feature in a Muppet video game: Instances where Thog is sitting on one end of a teeter-totter, Kermit or another Muppet jumps on the other end, sending Thog into the air, and when Thog falls back down, the Muppet you play as flies up into the air. Or it...

I think it's funny, and interesting how Telly actually saw Snuffy during the "imaginary" days (and Brian Meehl performed him interracting with Snuffy). It's interesting that the adults wouldn't believe Telly (at least they didn't think Big Bird put him up to it). But it does seem kind of...

I was pretty much guessing that he still gets residuals. I don't know if Sesame Workshop has to pay residuals for online releases (I know some clips with outside music were included and eventually taken down). I thought I once read somewhere that everybody who's been involved with Sesame Street...

I wonder if anything will be cut from this. I know it contains clips from early stuff owned by other companies, like Sam and Friends (owned by Universal) and the various commercials and variety show appearances (owned by respective companies). Hopefully those clips will be cleared (though I know...

I wonder if Lionsgate would rerelease those on DVD this year just because they possibly can release them uncut. There certainly would be fan demand (especially if Kermit were put on the cover). I think Lionsgate rereleased those last year when distribution changed (and A Christmas Toy was just...

Sony doesn't own The Dark Crystal or it's characters. Sony has had the video rights for over ten years, but as far as I know Henson still owns the rights to the film (and characters, of course). Thinking about special features possiblillities, does anybody know if Timepiece is included in...

I never noticed that the U/V segment was different in the A&E Biography. And yet Caroll Spinney performed Lefty in both that and the version at sesamestreet.org. And the first season show content doesnt' show any signs of there being two versions in the same year (no "RE-DO" note by the skit, no...

I don't really understand what was so scary about it. I was a little bit surprised that all those clips can be played all the way through, and with no individual images in the chapter stops (which would make it easier for kids). I sometimes wonder if Sesame Workshop tries hard not to make...

It is a shame that there's no official sources that mention how the inserts are stored. Sesame Workshop has reportedly remastered every episode a few times over the years (and maybe the copies used for sesamestreet.org are those copies), even before Noggin got started. The CTW archives has files...

The two actors who played him didn't even get their own pages in the 40th anniversary book (just pictures and acknowledgements in the "coming and going" section). And unlike Mr. Hooper and David, there was no on-screen explanation for Mr. Handford's departure (he wasn't even mentioned by name in...

It was said that Bobo and Pepe will be animal companions to Snow White. Judging by the cover, has Rowlf replaced Bobo? I see Pepe on the cover but not Bobo, and it was said that the seventh dwarf will end up being somebody from The Jim Henson Hour (well Rowl WAS on the Jim Henson Hour...).

I watched all Lena Horne's Sesame Street appearances and her TMS appearance yesterday. All three of her SST appearances are on the main video page at sesamestreet.org (I recall different clips being there at the top yesterday but now the first three videos feature Lena).

It is now "Rosita Day", hosted by... Oh, who is it again? Forgetful Jones? Ovejita? Leslie Mostly? Oh, that's right, it's hosted by Rosita!

I wonder if we should start making bets on when they'll announce a release of Timepiece and other experimental films.... (no, I'm not actually willing to bet!)

It's a shame that none of Judy Collins' performances were included on that DVD. Hopefully Water Cantata will be added soon, to either sesamestreet.org, youtube, or hulu. But I don't consider it a "holy grail" (not in the same way as I viewed Henson #1, "There's a Hole in the Bucket", or Telly's...

This is real exciting and unexpected news! I saw this on youtube a few years ago, and I forget just about every clip that appears (I should probably be punished for my irresponsibility). It's interesting that Elmo appears on the cover. I don't believe he appears in any of the clips. And this...
