Throughout the 1980s, Jim Henson worked on behind-the-scenes specials for many of his productions (TMS, FR, TDC, L), and there were also behind-the-scenes books for his productions, but I wonder why he never worked on any behind-the-scenes specials for the first three Muppet movies, or even...

Announcer: It's now time to play.... ("What's My Part?" logo is shown) "What's My Part?" (fanfare music plays as auddience applauds) And here's your host, Guy Smiley! (Audience cheers as Guy Smiley enters) Guy Smiley: Welcome, welcome! I am Guy Smiley, and this is "What's My Part?" And here...

This would make a good "Sesame Street Fest" schedule: Friday Night: 6PM fans enter and interract with other fans, eat dinner, and explore the place 7PM Joan Ganz Cooney and Big Bird introduce the event, and then show the original version of the pitch reel 7:30PM the cast and crew talk...

I keep wondering if such a convention should have a live show, like The Muppet Show Live. The Muppet Show Live mostly had Muppets, with limited guest star interraction. Sesame Street has a lot of regular humans in addition to Muppets. It would probably be harder for sets to be raised. There...

I'm guessing that the song was written before The Mupet Show, and if that's true, Dr. Teeth's absense was probably a result of there being no lines about having a keyboard player in the six string orchestra. I know that more musiciasn were there after the setting switched. But anybody could have...

It seems like The Muppet Show has had a lot of sketches done that would be difficult to have been done on a stage, unless there were monitors. And there is no known camera crew on the show. But some examples of sketches that would normally be hard to perform live on-stage include: *The...

Yes, it could have worked that way, though Kermit was in front of the curtain before it raised, and it didn't look like the camera was moving up quickly before raising, so that would have had to have been one big monitor. There have been a lot of times when Kermit introduced a skit, and...

That was funny. Though it also would have been funny if Little Jerry did play correctly, but the slime pit out at Harvey, missing Little Jerry in the process.

I was thinking that. Steve Whitmire could perform Kermit as a reporter interviewing the fans. Muppetfest has Elmo despite the fact that Henson no longer owned Elmo at the time. Then again, Sesame Workshop is a smaller company than Disney, and who knows how Disney would feel if Sesame Workshop...

Such a convention could also include tributes to Jim Henson, Richard Hunt, Joe Raposo, Jeff Moss, Jon Stone, Jim Thurman, and possibly others, though it might take up a lot of time. Perhaps there could be a time where the people remember those who ahve passed on, some talk about their memories...

Wouldn't it be great if there was a Sesame Street Fest, similar to Muppetfest? How would you want it to be done? I had planed on making a fake report of this on April Fools Day, but then forgot. But here's what I would like to have happen: It would be a three-day thing, on a friday night and...

The Muppets Take Manhatan DVD includes interviews with Jim Henson. Obviously, they are all from the same production (or at least produced at the same time), but does anybody know what this interview was shot for? Was it filmed for Henson's Place? Was it an interview for a talk show or...

In the A&E Biography special on Sesame Street, there are two behind-the-scenes clips for segments from the 1980s. One is from the sketch where Ernie dresses up a snowman using Bert's hat and scarf, and ht eother is from the skit where Grover works at a mexican resturaunt. Since those two skits...

It's just a shame that Jerry Juhl never provided audio commentary on any Muppet DVDs. I don't know if he would have wanted to give commentary, though. It's a shame that he didn't accompany Brian Henson on the MCC and MTI audio commentaries. And of course it's a shame that Jim Henson died years...

Another idea is for a book featuring a guide to The Mupet Show episodes, plus other goodies. It would be similar to The Simpsons: A Complete Guide to Our Favorite Family (and it's follow-ups). Each episode would have a page or two, with plot descriptions, sketch listings, quotes, character...

THE MORSELS BETTER APPEAR ON THE NEXT SET! But commentary on a few episodes would also be good. Dinosaurs: The Complete Seasosn 3 and 4 got commentary, even though the complete seasons 1 and 2 didn't. Maybe commentary could be provided for the episodes with Steve Martin, Rudolph Nureyev, and...

It's been speculated (I don't know if there are any official sources for this information) that Matt Robinson stopped playing Gordon to focus on a producing career, but he still could have performed the voice of Roosevelt Franklin. Since he only performed the voice, he obviously wouldn't have...

I don't think Sam's roles in post-Henson movies was expanded that much. His big scenes in MCC and MWoO were basically cameos, and his scenes in MFS and IAVMMCM were short cameos, similar to the cameos in GMC. Sure, they weren't major, but some of them (Floyd, Robin, maybe Lew Zealand and...

ctually, I think that Roosevelt's voice sounds completely different from Matt Robinsons natural voice (assuming that Robinson didn't talk in a phony voice when playing Gordon).

Another thing I would do: I would make a deal with whoever owns the distrbution rights to the 1980s comic strip and release a book or two of every Muppet comic strip, in chronological order.
