    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    When I first thought this up, I only thought of having each disc dedicated to different decades and have several segments shown in random order, and then thought of the better idea to have segments grouped by characters and themes (I think it would be easier for kids to sit through themed...

    I don't like Clifford, do you?

    I think they were starting to become more major before Jim Henson died. During the 1970s and 1980s, it seems like whenever a new Muppet project came along, The Electric Mayhem would be more likely to have a featured part than Bunsen and Beaker. For example, four members of the band appeared...

    I don't like Clifford, do you?

    I think I used to think of him as being similar to Bunsen, but he is also different from them. Bunsen and Beaker are scientists, and Digit was a robot, and a technician. If Dave Goelz didn't perfirn Digit then maybe he could have teamed up with Bunsen and Beaker on occassion, without it seeming...

    I don't like Clifford, do you?

    Jerry Nelson was there, and hardly had any recurring characters. Statler was his only regular classic character on the show. More of Jerry Nelson's characters could have been given regular spots on the show. Robin could have hung out with (or been annoyed by) Andy and Randy. Lew Zealand could...

    SST Season 18 Outline: Counting People to Count With

    Enjoy this Sesame Street season 18 outline. Scene 1 The Count tells the viewer that today, he's going to count. Telly appears and says that he'd like to count with The Count, and the Count counts Telly as one perons to count with. Big Bird then shows up and Telly invites Big Bird to count...

    Celebrity Song speculation

    I've been thinking about the various Sesame Street songs that have had celebrity edits specifically Put Down the Duckie and Monster in the Mirror. Those segments were included in Sesame Street's only pledge-drive specials, Sesame Street, Special and Big Bird's Birthday or Let Me Eat Cake. Sesame...

    TV show DVD featurette observation

    I think that the puppet segments should have been included as part of the show, just like they originaly were (though I don't know if any were shot and unaired).

    Why didn't Jim Henson have any writing credits in the first three Muppet movies?

    It's odd that Henson didn't write any of the movies. When he started out he did almost everything, and as time went by and more people were hired he did less. But I'm sure that he trusted Jerry Juhl. I am sure that many elements of the movie were hs ideas (shooting outdoors, Kermit riding a...

    I really like Zoot, Lips, Rowlf, and Digit the best.

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    Oh, rats. I forgot to include sketches with Wally and Ralph, George the Farmer, Julius and Jasper, and Christopher Clumsy on that first disc. And the original Sing and Somebody Come and Play. And James Earl Jones reciting the alphabet. Anyway, this is what I'd do for disc 2. Ernie and...

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    I have thought up a few differnet ideas of what sketches to include and how to include them. This is one of my ideas for disc 1, which would be the 1969-1979 disc. Ernie and Bert Ice Cube Collection Bert's Bottlecaps Ernie Locks Bert Out Ernie Imagines Him and Bert with Different...

    TV show DVD featurette observation

    Having those compilations on the season sets is useless. The "Boris Badenov: Master of Disguise" feature is the only one of those that makes sense.

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    Somehow I have a feeling that if a four-disc release was released with each disc focusing on a certain decade, then the majority of fans would watch the first two discs more than the other two. Or that the kids watching would only want to watch discs 3 and 4. I had some ideas for special...

    I don't like Clifford, do you?

    I agree with that, but judging from what I know about the InnerTube pilot, it seems like Jim Henson initially wasn't too interested in making it a regular follow-up to The Muppet Show. From what I've read, Kermit and Miss Piggy were the only established characters to appear, and they both only...

    Oscar's sidekicks by themselves

    It's kinda weird. Out of all Oscar's sidekicks, the one that's also performed by Caroll Spinney (Bruno) seems to be the one seen without Oscar the least. The song I mentionend is the only time I can remember Bruno being seen without Oscar, though there are a few instances where Bruno and...

    The Boy, The Girl and the Jellybeans

    That "re-u-ni-ted" line sounds like a song to me. Was that sung in the sketch at that point, or did you just quote it (assuming I am right about it being a line from a song) for fun? If the sketch has any brief song lines then hopefuly Sesame Workshop can one day work out a deal to include it on...

    Potential Idea for a 40th Anniversary Special DVD Release

    I have recently thought of an idea for a great four-disc 40th anniversary DVD set. I've actually thought of it a few days ago, and thought about waiting until next april fools day to post a gag thread, but decided that I can't wait until then (and we'll probably already know what's planned for...
