    Was Put Down TheDuckie edited when released as a special?

    When Sesame Street, Special was released on video under the title "Put Down the Duckie", a number of scenes were edited or altered. However, I'm wondering, is Put Down the Duckie shown the way it originally was in the broadcast version, or does this video feature the altered version? I believe...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    A few clips were added yesterday, mostly ads for the site. They are a bit interesting... There's "Guess Who's in the Neighborhood", with clips of various celebrities over Bob singing "The People in Your Neighborhood" (it includes footage of Bob singing with Barbara Walters from Sesame Street...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Is Wayne in that segment? I figure Perils of Piggy is the on-page title (the "Perils of Piggy" title was never used on the show), and you are referring to the melodramas. And I figure it's just as obscure as the talking houses or vendaface. I think the "On the Road" storyline was in...

    Henson-related video games

    I posted a lot of ideas, and I tried my best not to post more ideas... But I thought of a great idea today, and I don't think the idea has ever been done before in any video games. Basically, the Muppets would be putting on a video game. A show-within-a-show about the making of the game we're...

    Hey a Movie - on the soundtrack

    I don't have the GMC soundtrack but I heard the soundtrack version on TMS 25th anniversary album, and I just have to wonder, who's idea was it to include most of the dialogue during the middle of the number? In many of the songs from the movies which featured spoken dialogue, the dialogue would...

    why are tracks rerecorded for soundtracks?

    I've been wondering, why are songs on various soundtrack albums rerecorded? After all, pretty much all Muppet songs are pre-recorded before they are filmed/ tapped. Can't those tracks be used? It seems like many of the tracks on the various Muppet Show albums are the same used on the show...

    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    I just started to wonder... Will this set actualy count as a 40th anniversary set (even if the anniversary logo is on the package)? It appears to be the start of a music collection, focusing on just the early years (shouldn't an anniversary collection try to represent all eras?). And I...

    Jason Segel's involvement with Cheapest

    I wonder how much of the script/ story was actually written by Jim Henson. He didn't recieve writers credit on any of the Muppet movie, so it'd be odd that he'd write the one that was unreleased (though I think The Works says something about him writing drafts of The Muppet Movie).

    Studio DC DVD in widescreen

    My laptop can play blue-ray DVDs. Speaking of the movies, this would have been a good year to release The Muppet Movie on blu-ray, and maybe promote it as a 30th anniversary release. It's a shock that Disney doesn't seem to want to celebrate the anniversaries of individual Muppet production...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa DVD

    Anybody notice how the cover has small images of Nathan Lane, Uma Thurman, and Whoopi Goldberg? Lane and Thurman make a little sense, but Whoopi Goldberg only appears for a few seconds. This would be more acceptable if it had all or most of the special's celebrities on the cover (similar to the...

    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    This is good news. Though I think I'll wait to get it (there's gonna be a lot of 40th anniversary merchandise on the same day, christmas is coming, and I've had a lot of recent expenses... I'll probably just get the DVD on release day). I have a feeling that volume 2 might have a pattern. I...

    Studio DC DVD in widescreen

    I think Letters too Santa would be better to have in widescreen (is that DVD in widescreen?), and also in blu-ray.

    Rowlf, Floyd, and Sweetums

    A Sweetums doll would be very cool, even if it's just exclusive to the theme parks. By the way, Muppet Vision 3D is a popular attraction, and there has been quite a bit of Bean Bunny merchandise released at the parks... Why not release Sweetums and Waldo toys at Walt Disney World & Land? I...

    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    Currently nothing has been announced, but that would be a good idea. Maybe make it a two-disc set. Call disc 1 "The Essential Sesame Street", featuring all the best songs that have been released in audio format, and then disc 2 "Unreleased Songs", featuring songs from the show that haven't been...

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    I wonder if Prairie Dawn was named before The Muppet Music Album. It would be kind of funny if for that album, the name was needed for the contestant in What's My Letter? and then when it was made into a video sketch that puppet was used, due to a similar voice, and the name stuck (then again...

    outside the family...

    I don't know whether he'd be considered "outside" the muppet family. It was rare for him to be seen outside of a news reporting context. Outside of the opening and post-TMS productions he wasn't even just in the background very much. But then there are quite a few characters who were rarely...
