I'm a little tired of defending the Wiki, so this is my final post on the subject. Here's the precise text on the page regarding the action figures: "Following the bankruptcy of Palisades and the sale of the company to Limited by CAS Inc. in feburary 2006, the proposed Sesame Street line of...

Right, I said to a "great extent." There's some fictionalization, undoubtedly, but it wasn't a case of creating a "Bob" character and then just casting McGrath by coincidence. The shared name and personality and job similarities were intended.

Most of the kid characters also used their own names, naturally. From John-John and other early kids to more recent characters like Tarah or Carlo. And Buffy Sainte-Marie played Buffy. The use of names really seemed to vary depending on the extent to which the character was very much a version...

Yeah, Time Piece is a great little short. Jim himself did the cel animation (the colored particles dancing around), while Don Sahlin handled most of the stop-motion effects (like the blooming flowers). Trivia notes: You'll have to pause quickly, but Frank Oz plays the office messenger in the...

Nah, Danny hasn't forgotten. He's just been busy with Muppet Wiki (as founder, admin, and contributor). Lately, with transcripts and pages like "Miss Piggy Impersonators," the Wiki has to some extent transplanted Tough Pigs (though without the cynical humor and opinions and such).

Hey, Count! Just to clarify something. I understand your skepticism about Wikis, but Muppet Wiki is *not* Wikipedia and does not abide entirely by "Wikipedia rules" as you've implied. For one thing, we have a strict username policy. Anonymous users are allowed five edits, at which point they...

Olivia never visited. Linda never visits. I understand nostalgia, but seriously, we're talking about something from decades ago, and "Sesame Street" is hardly the first series to write out a character or even drop one without explanation, and that's the end of it.

First, I don't see why recast a character. They did do that with Mr. Handford himself, but for the most part, it was rare. Gordon was the major exception because he was one of the original four residents, and because of what he represents. From the various pedagogical writings and newspaper...

Besides, by that time, Mr. Handford was already running the store, and had been for almost a year or more by the time Northern Calloway died, comparing dates. With the exception of Mr. Hooper, and he deserved to be the exception, there has never been any mention of characters once they've been...

I could have sworn I'd posted to an old version of this list, but at some point, I couldn't log back in (I never posted here that often). Anwyay, there's a few misattributions regarding the human actors in "Don't Eat the Pictures." Paul Dooley played the guard, James Mason was Osiris, Fritz...
