Looking at the Sweetums page, I find it interesting it says Sweetums likes "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner". Somehow I feel it would have been better to just say he liked breakfast, as a nod to The Frog Prince where he wanted Robin for breakfast (apparently, having Robin for lunch, dinner, or just...

Top ten characters I wish weren't "put on a bus" or given Chuck Cunningham syndrome. 1. Kirk Devane (Newhart) 2. Leslie Vanderkellen (Newhart) 3. Coach Cutlip (The Wonder Years) 4. John Burns (Taxi) 5. Laurie Foreman (That '70s Show) 6. Chuck Cunningham (Happy Days) 7. Corine Tate (Soap) 8...

Well, volume 3 has episode 1836, which has a few scenes where Maria seems to believe that Snuffy is real (or at least is initially willing to check Big Bird's nest and later wait for Snuffy with Big Bird, before Olivia stops her). Even though reportedly the 16th season premiere involves Maria...

Then maybe they should have had them sitting with him.

Lips was there but he didn't play the trumpet (I don't think Zoot played the saxophone either).

I didn't watch the whole show in its original broadcast (and it's actually not often I make an effort to catch Muppet appearances on shows I don't watch... It sort of feels weird that the only Late Night with Jimmy Fallon I've seen was his last), but I just now watched the opening monologue...

One thing I wonder: With a lot of new information given to existing characters, and this book's lack of behind-the-scenes information, I wonder if any errors in the book (besides listing incorrect first appearances for characters, if there are any errors on first appearances) would count as...

Wow, that's later than I would have expected. Almost prime time hours.

I know that Vogel is/was part of a band (The Mighty Weaklings). Though I don't know whether his role in that band includes singing.

Really? I keep looking at the content listing page on Muppet Wiki and Frackles is not listed. I guess it might be an oversight. And by Green Frackle, it is Gloat, right, and not the one that's also known as Green Scoff (that characters design was labeled "Green Frackle", but was actually...

Maybe Sam and Friends is included for historical sake (though it could have just been mentioned in the Kermit section). I know that The Jim Henson Company recently rebuilt Yorick for Puppet Up, and the company did put a Sam and Friends clip (with Kermit, no less) on its YouTube channel. But I...

Something I've been wondering lately: During the original run, what days/time of days was the show typically broadcast? I assume it was once a week (there's not enough episodes for it to have been a daily show, unless it just lasted a season or two). Was it broadcast on Saturday morning? Any...

At first I thought the commercial was annoying, but after seeing it a few times I've come to like the camel. Of course I hadn't heard of Hump Day until those commercials. And yes, he is a lot better than those bland Gecko and Pig characters I never really liked. As far as I know he's only...

At first I wondered if this would just be the Electric Mayhem. In fact during Janice's first shot I thought I saw a glimpse of Lips, but then after the camera widened to show the rest of the band and Lips wasn't shown with them I wondered if I had been seeing things (in fact I still might have...

When it comes to characters from The Muppet Show, the only ones I'm truly shocked aren't in it are Gaffer and the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband (oh, and Droop and Blue Frackle). The Muppet Wiki rundown of the book mentions some pages that feature characters that don't have their own pages (like...

I was surprised to see that Splurge is in this. Also surprised to see the book has Rufus but not Muppy.

I don't know how I answered my own question. Particularly the part about the pre-video era when people didn't know that one day their works would be purchased. But I wonder, since when television began residuals were only for the first five broadcasts, I wonder if that also applied to song...

And I wonder why music rights should be cleared again. I would have thought that, whether the concept of home video was heard of or not, if the music was cleared in the first place, it should remain for all releases in whatever country. I know that music rights are what's keeping The Wonder...

The Muppet Show and Sesame Street are both live-action and DVDs of those had songs edited. Additionally, the SCTV DVDs had song edits and music replacements. Of course for that show, for the original broadcasts they never even bothered to get music rights cleared in the first place. And...
