Here are my predictions: 1. How many Henson-related DVDs will be released next year (multi-disc sets count as one; DVD releases of programs that don't neccessarily star any Henson creations but include guest appearances by at least one Henson creation do count, as long as it's the real...

For fun, let's see what we can predict for 2008, Muppet merchandise-wise. I will ask a few questions about what we think will happen next year, and at the end of next year, we can come back to this thread and see who was right, though tis is not a contest. Here are some questions: 1. How...

I like Gonzo's white shirt and grey sweater vest the best. But there are two significant outfits that you forgot to mention. One was his black vest and blue shirt, which he wore in The Muppet Movie and occassionally during the later seasons of The Muppet Show (such as in the "Act Naturally"...

Well, while looking through the calendar, I found a picture of Lips there. On the page for September 21/ 22. This page shows a picture of Kermit and Piggy dancing, with the whole Electric Mayhem behind them. I guess this image was originally used for either The Muppet Show Annual or Muppet...

If I'm told that variety is dead (and I hope it isn't), then I would stick with my idea for the Muppets doing a series where eahc episode focuses more on the plot. The Mupets would still be working on a show, but there would be more focus on the pre-and post-show process. Focus on auditoons...

If it's true that the master tapes get updated, then let's hope that the original versions don't get lost forever. On Old School Volume 1, the Sesame Street News segment had the original title card, and the Old School Volume 2 release of the Humpty Dumpty sketch includes the 1970s black and...

Since this set seems to have included newer openings for Sesame Street News, The Adventures of Super Grover, and Here is Your Life in the bonus features, I wonder if the next set will include one of the later Monsterpeice Theater openings instead of the original, if any Monsterpeice Theater...

Sesame Street still repeats sketches from other episodes, but rarely anything from before the late 1980s. And usually anything from the 1980s that are shown feature Ernie. Sprout is currently showing episodes of Play with me Sesame, which has newly-created footage along with classic...

In the second season set, the only epsidoes featuring the UK version of the credits are the Elton John and Rudolph Nureyev episodes. Louise Gold isn't credited in the UK version of the Rudolph Nureyev epsiode. I wonder if that means she didn't perform, as opposed to just not being credited (she...

Oh, so Ladysmith Black Mambazo sang the song twice, once with Paul Simon (portraying themselves), and once with Kermit (providing the voices of anything muppets)?

I thought the camers people could have been better. During the Sesame Street performance, there were times when certain characters sang, but weren't on camera.

I recall there once being a Sesame Street segment where Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo (is that the right spelling?) sang a song together. Does anybody know/ remember what the song was? It must have been made around the time of Put Down the Duckie, since Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black...

Well, I saw that the last page of the calendar has an e-mail address and a mailling address, to send comments (and I beleive suggestions). So I e-mailed the calendar company and pointed out all trivia mistakes, and also suggested that if that company makes a Muppet 2009 day-by-day calendar that...

I thought it was odd that the listener who e-mailed you about the benefits of buying the season sets when they have all of the time-life sets mentioned hsving 500 discs. That's not right, unless he had multiple copies of each. As there are only 120 episodes of TMS, 500 discs would be more than...

But Kermit had appeared in a nationally recognized project before Rowlf did. Kermit appeared on The Tonight Show in either 1957 or 1958, and I think he also appeared on The Today Show before The Jimmy Dean Show debuted in 1963. I do think it's a bit sad that this showw asn't mentioned in the...

I found a copy today, and it's really good, though it doesn't look like very many obscure characters are pictured. There is a section on The Electric Mayhem, which doesn't mention Lips. Some of the trivia questions are a bit wrong. For example, there is a multiple-choice question about which...

It's speled "Stiles". And I didn't know that he's dead.

Although it's been a long time since I last saw that segment, I thought something was different about the dialogue (at least Murray's voice wasn't added to that sketch). I kept thinking that the word "frusterated" replaced words like "mad" or "angry".

Has anybody noticed that in the song "Subway", that while the characters seem to enjoy the subway, they seem to also mention bad points about the subway, with such lines as "It's so hot I could die" and "you could lose your purse, or you might do something worse on the subway". So, was this...

Here's a rundown for the newest episode, "Frusterated": What's the word on the street?: Frusterated a frusterated girl talks about her bad day, which includes her younger brother taking the last orange, her comb getting stuck in her hair, and having to clean her room (I believe that this one...
