    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    With the exceptions of Piggy and Sam, have any of the other classic Muppet Show characters ever even interracted with Andy and Randy? Seems like they only interracted with other newer characters on Muppets Tonight (in addition to Clifford, the guest stars and above-mentioned characters, of...

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    The 40th anniversary book has some images from that. The song is called Water Cantata.

    The Falling Baker Finally Identified

    This was pretty much determiend for awhile at Muppet Wiki (though I wish I'd see an official statement from either Henson or Sesame Workshop... I'm pretty sure he still gets residuals from the appearances, so they'd have to have his name on file). Somebody found the claim at imdb, and brought it...

    Master Insert Tapes

    I've been wondering about Sesame Workshop's master tapes for the inserts. Could there be multiple master copies of various sketches? There are sketches that seem to be edited or altered in certain broadcasts, and I would expect new masters to be made in these cases. But I wonder... Could...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I got a copy of issue #4 today. Looking at the cover, I can't help but wonder if I've found some "Hidden Mickey's". There are two sections where we see two shadowy heads covered in black with outlines, and can't help but think of them as Mickey's ears. In the bottom row we see two blackened...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Sony Wonder did include special features on a number of DVDs, though most of them were either "kiddie fluff" or bonus sketches (I don't object to bonus clips from the show... the more inserts released commercially the better!). From the Sony Wonder days there were quite a few features on the Do...

    Something I've noticed about Elmo.

    I doubt Elmo interracted with Professor Hastings, The Busby Twins, Sam the Robot, Lefty, or Leslie Mostly.

    The Muppet Mindset

    It's good to know what's in Count TV. I don't have an iPhone, but that list is interesting (though I think all of them are also available at sesamestreet.org). I do find it odd that it doesn't include any Jazz or Pinball segments (or Mad Painter). It's especially disapointing that no Jazz is...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Muppet Wiki now has a full listing of segments in The Best of Elmo 2, including celebrities who weren't mentioned previously (such as Ray Charles and Jack Black). Only a few non-celebrity clips are included, most of which sound disapointing. I wonder what the next-to-be-announced release...

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

    You know, I wonder how good an idea would be if Sesame Workshop chose to make sequels to the existing ones with us fans in mind, maybe having fans nominate and/or vote on certain clips for inclusion (maybe even do that for characters who don't have their own "best of" release, like The Count)...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Wow! Before reading my article, I didn't know that This Song's For the Birds was on Youtube. It was great to finally see and hear that song.

    Does anyone find it odd that there was NO 40th anniversary TV special for the Show ?

    I've been thinking, "they don't have money to make an anniversary special, but they have money for an economy and a death in the family special? Get your priorities straight!";) I wonder if the plot of The Best of Elmo 2 might have been intended to be an anniversary special. It invovles a...

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

    Actually, I think Best of Elmo 2 is the only one with that problem. The others have up to two celebrities in them (I feel Roger Ebert's ccameo in A Celebration of Me, Grover was rather unneccessary... I'd have rather seen the whole Monsterpeice Theater skit). I have a feeling that most of...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I saw a copy of The Best of Elmo 2, but didn't buy it (I think I'll wait and save some money). But looking at the box, the run time listed is 49 minutes. Looks like it has Elmo's tricycle song, and something called "Elmo's Ducks" (not sure if that's an insert or part of the linking material)...

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    They added an interesting clip that I wasn't aware of. It's one where the adults mention that Snuffy is "imaginary", features Brian Meehl as Telly, involves Telly seeing Snuffy (so the two actually had interaction before Meehl left and the cast finally saw him!), and features a character I...

    Do-"Op"?

    Just about every VHS featuring the song spells it as "Do Op Hop" in the song listings on the back of the releases, though I'm sure it's spelled "Do Wop Hop" in the MTV-style credits in Count it Higher. I don't know if the chapter stops match the song listings. A lot of song/sketch titles...

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

    Sketches I think would be appropriate for a "Best of the Count" DVD: The Count and Cookie Monster Co-Operate The Batty Bat The Song of the Count Count Up to Nine Sesame Street News: Count counts the Three Little Pigs Squeal of Fortune or Beat the Time (The Count's appearance on Beat the...

    Muppet King Arthur

    And under Lips, I see a yellow character who looks like it could be a yellow version of King Goshposh. Or maybe it's a yellow Bruno from Sesame Street. Hard to tell... We only see the character's head, neither character is yellow, and both characters are obscure, so the design similarities could...

    Muppet King Arthur

    Page 5, panel 3, in the audience next to a Muppet cow. I can't see his goatee (it seems to be blocked by a rope), but that's definately a yellow guy with wild hair and Lips' eyes (there aren't many characters with eyes like Lips'... The only other character I can think of is one of the nurses...
