I'm thinking somebody has got to get out an anthology series spoofing reality TV. Like each week, a new reality show based on a different stupid concept. Something too stupid or complicated to work as a weekly reality show.

I'd been reading that part of "one-hour work week" lately. Did you actually write it? Good job. Recently I read one page at TV Tropes, about typecast actors, can't remember which one (I think it was called "Never Gonna Let it Down"). Anyway, it mentions that Jerry Seinfield will never be able...

There's one episode of Newhart, "Ricky Nelson Up Your Nose", where it's revealed that Kirk made a deal with the state where once a month his cafe is supposed to serve lunch to prisoners who are about to be transferred to maximum security prisons. What I'm wondering is, do prisons actually do...

Looking at the page for One-Hour Work Week, which deals with works where the main characters seem to get plenty of free time and still paid well, I wonder if the Stratford Inn and Minuteman Cafe from Newhart would count as examples (I didn't see them listed there). Both places have small staffs...

For awhile I've thought that there should be a Sesame Street DVD themed around art. And interesting how this one has an episode from season 32. I was looking at the guide to see if it had anything from 1969-1990, but it looks like it doesn't (but maybe some of the non-Muppet inserts with eka's...

Previously every episode of The Jim Henson Hour had been posted (though the uploader had to take down Song of the Cloud Forest and Dog City), but now it seems they are no longer online. The user who uploaded them still has his account, so I wonder what's going on. InnerTube and the pitch tape...

It's weird that they're doing this. Of course I actually wasn't too excited about this (I probably would have picked it up if I found a copy, but wouldn't have set out to find a copy on the day it came out). But at least we'll be getting some kind of Muppet release close to the movie's release...

Lately when I've watched videos on the site, there seems to be something wrong with the player. It seems like the videos don't play as smoothly as they used to (though the audio plays fine). It looks like the video keeps freezing for skipping every few microseconds. Not sure if it's just my...

I had no idea of that regarding video games. But I still think it's strange they would make trailers for anything before they are finished. It's one thing for it to be publicly announced and then canceled, but I feel it's another for them to go through the trouble of making a trailer and then...

He probably could have gotten online and heard news of the film, or maybe read about it in an entertainment magazine or news article (though I don't know if his character was the kind who'd follow entertainment news), notice story similarities, see that it was to be directed by the movie...

Lately, I've been thinking about instances in the Playhouse video compilations where clips were significantly edited or even altered in some way. Especially after watching some on YouTube and noticing. There's four that I used to rent all the time, and then hadn't seen in many years. After...

Here's a few "what's the deal?" things that make sense in real life, but work better in the works of fiction they occurred in. *In "Big Fat Liar", there's a trailer for a ficticious movie of the same title... But it hadn't even started production yet. Even though the trailer in question...

Another commercial, which I only saw once (back in 1996-1997), involved an adult man having to go to the restroom very badly, likely at a gas station, but the mens room is already being used.... By a kid who's playing with a toy gun, and not even using the restroom as the adult impatiently waits...

I didn't know that Traveling Matt once hosted NBC saturday morning programming It's a shame this wasn't a bonus feature on the Animated Fraggle Rock DVDs (or does NBC own these clips?). They don't show clips from the shows being mentioned, so there wouldn't be copyright problems there.

I doubt those were regular episodes. The one with Kermit and Cookie Monster was a PBS promo. I was checking that Red Book source, and PBS pledges with Kermit, Cookie Monster, Miss Piggy, Grover, Ernie and Bert were recorded in 1979. Statler and Waldorf also appeared in a pledge promo in...

Today's article actually concerns something that happened AFTER the Red Book was finished: Info on Secrets of the Muppets - http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/04/19/4191989/ I wonder if the site will provide any info on other post-1988 projects Jim Henson did, like his last day on the...

Wow, I didn't even know that he performed on The Jim Henson Hour (and the Muppet Wiki page for him doesn't list the show in his filmography). You know, the early posts of this thread said that the rights to The Secrets of the Muppets were split by Henson and Disney, I assume Gelfling Waldo...

I've seen one of those threads that was posted recently, and I know I posted this one before that. The one I saw was about a specific commercial, this one I intended to be an all-purpose thread for any of us to ask about any commercials we remember but don't remember what they were advertising.

I just remembered a few more commercials that I don't remember the advertised product: *A commercial, I think for some pants company, with a group of men who sing something that sounds like "Ohh la-la shashoon". I could be wrong on the spelling of that last word. This commercial was often...

I get annoyed when people refer to 2011's "The Muppets" as "The Muppet Movie". Yes, it's a Muppet movie, but there's already a Muppet movie with that title and there are several Muppet movies.
