    Henson-related video games

    A long time ago, there were two Austin Powers video games for Game Boy Color. They were Austin Powers: Groovy Baby and Dr. Evil: Welcome to my Secret Underground Lair. I only have the Austin Powers one, and haven't played it in awhile, but it seems they were game swith each main character...

    Caroll Spinney during the break between seasons 1 & 2

    In Caroll Spinney's autobiography, he mentioned that during the break between the first two seasons of Sesame Street, Jim Henson didn't have any work for him. But as far as I know, The Great Santa Claus Switch was made before production on season two began. I wonder why Caroll wasn't asked to...

    Question about Recasting Sweetums in the 1980s...

    It has been sourced that Richard Hunt stopped performing the inside of Sweetums in the 1980s. I don't think it's known when, but there is a source that John Henson performed him sometime by 1987. However, I find it odd that there was a need to recast Sweetums. He was hardly used during the last...

    The Jim Henson Hour's 20th anniversary

    There were two commercial breaks for the show during the original broadcast of Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, and watching the epsiodes on youtube, it seems that there was usually a promo for next weeks show before Jim Henson's closing. Dog City and Song of the Clod Forest were both...

    Muppets Comics Wishes Thread

    I was just rereading this, and man, I previously thought you were against such an idea. The first issue begins with a short Muppet News Flash strip, but I think it might be interesting to see fake advertisements or comic strip "commerciasl" for ficticious products. Maybe ads for Doc Hopper's...

    Muppets Season 4... Good News and bad news

    Man, it seems like the special features on these sets are a bit unredictable. Most of the seaosn 1 features had to do with the development of the series (well, I guess that was a bit predictable/expected..), then season 2's features were mostly thigns from the late 1990s/ early 2000s, and then...

    Initial TV Series Contracts

    Do networks usually have policies of how long the initial contracts for a show should last? Meaning that if a series is bought, would a network or production company normally order a certain number of episodes or seasons at first?

    Concern about Rowlf

    I never really noticed this about Rowlf, but I did notice it about other characters. Dr. Teeth, Sweetums, and even Crazy Harry were used quite a bit in the first two seasons, but then started appearing considerably less in subsequent seasons (and these characters had important enough parts in...

    Help Pick Clips for the 40th Anniversary DVD

    You know, for months since this project was announced (heck, evne before any such announcement, as I had been wishing for such a set... only a four-disc set focusing on different 10-year periods per disc), I had thought that the 1999 special Sesame Street Unpaved would make a good bonus feature...

    Ruby Monster Appreciation Thread

    I've watched a few clips she appears in at sesamestreet.org, and on the clip pages her name isn't in the "featuring" section. I haven't actually done any searches for her on the wesboite, so maybe her name does appear in asearch. On the website, the page with the clip "Good Morning, Morning"...

    Muppets Season 4... Good News and bad news

    There was another post at Mupet Central, somewhere, from somebody who got to talk to Craig Shemin at an event, and learned that "A Frog is Born" was dropped due to some kind of rights issues. It wasn't said what the issue was, but I would think that they could easily cut something from an...

    Henson-related video games

    My ideal title for the treasure hnt game is.... (sighs in embarassment)... Muppet Treasure Hunt. Regarding the Mario ideas, it would be great if such a parody would combine elements o all the classic games. Besides including a Donkey Kong-like villian, perhaps a Snowth could appear in a...

    The MuppetCast 2nd Anniversary This Weekend!

    That was a great podcast, and a great interview. It's interesting that, wehn discussing The Jim Henson Hour, Nelson kept talking about his on-screen roels but didn't talk about his character Beard, or give any comments on the MuppeTelevision half. It's a shame that you two didn't discuss...

    Unofficial Script Review of the New Muppet Movie

    I wonder if, much like the Sesame Street set in Follow That Bird, we'll see angles of the Muppet Theater that weren't shown on the series. Like a view of the walls we don't see due to that being where the camera is (It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie certainly didn't). Or will we be lucky...

    Henson-related video games

    Another type of game can be a treasure hunt game. The Muppets take a vacation to a wild jungle, where they hear about an ancient burried treasure, and after most of them become greedy they split apart to get the treasure for themselves, following clues and gathering things they need in order to...

    Muppets Season 4... Good News and bad news

    You know, for special features, I've been thinking that it would be great for seaosn 4 to include a number of guest appearances, even though it would cost Disney money for some of them. Some of Rowlf's appearances on The Jimmy Dean Show and Our Place, excerpts from Kermit's 1979 appearance on...
