Here's what I would do: Zero Mostel instead of Elton John in Volume 1 Hal Lindon instead of Paul Simon in Volume 2 Kaye Ballard instead of Dudley Moore in volume 4 Twiggy (or Alan Arkin) instead of Marty Feldman in volume 5 Phyllis George instead of Pearl Bailey in volume 7 I'll...

So, Dil, are you ready to move on to the next episode?

The same thing happened to my local Sam Goody for a year. It closed a few years ago, and then one year later it came back.

Oh, yeah, I thought I read somewhere that some CBS stations aired the show outside of the regular Saturday Morning Schedule, often including weekday afternoons. One of the reasons that this show didn't get good enough ratings was because CBS did not air advertisements for the show outside of...

I would also like to point out to those who care that Weird Al Yankovic's next album, Straight Outta Lynnwood, will be released this September.

Are you referring to the interviews that Weird Al Yankovic did on his AL-TV and Al Music specials? Man, I wish that whoever it was up to would take care of the legal clearances required to release those on DVD, even if it's just a compilation of the best sketches from those specials. There was...

Three or four nights ago, I had a dream that a preview for this set was shown, on TV or a DVD. The preview featured clips that obviously weren't from the first season. Some of the clips included a shot of Big Bird and some kids on the street, an Oscar the Grouch clip (he was green here), a clip...

Well, The Weird Al Show, Weird Al Yankovic's short-lived 1997 series, will be released on DVD this tuesday, August 15. Who else is excited? I remember watching the show when it first aired, though I never tapped it. I liked the show. There are quite a few episodes that I missed that sound...

Has anybody ever noticed that although Jim Henson and Frank Oz worked very well together, Bert has rarely appeared with any Jim Henson characters besides Ernie, and Grover rarely appeared with any Jim Henson character besides Kermit? This is a bit weird. Some of Kermit and Grover's...

I don't really know. All I know is that it was only on TV for one season. I don't know if it was cancled or if the shows producers chose not to make more episodes.

If this set features the first five season premiers, then it would mean that Herbert Birdsfoot, Sam the Robot, and Rodeo Rosie will have made their DVD debuts, and Roosevelt Franklin and Sherlock Hemlock would have their speaking-parts-on-DVD debut. Of course, if it is first five season...

I wish that Sully was used instead. Or Sherlock Hemlock. Or Simon Soundman.

I think Rowlf standing (or sitting) behind the seats might either be a case of him acting like a dog (sitting on the floor) or him not being able to find an extra seat (though he could have sat in the seat that Kermit eventually sat in, or he could have sat in the chair that Doglion took). I...

Sesame Workshop (or Sony Wonder) should get organized and put out a press release about the set. Or perhaps release some cover art or reveal whether there will be any special features. Oh, and make a confirmation about whether the set is the first five years or first five episodes (somebody says...

He was in The Muppets Take Manhattan, The Muppets: A Celebration of Thirty Years, and A Muppet Family Christmas, as well as some episodes of The Muppet Show that were made after The Muppet Movie.

Here is a list of celebrities who I would put in an update of the song: Weird Al Yankovic (perhaps singing parody lyrics) Adam Sandler Jim Carrey Allyson Hannigan Kelly Clarkson Wayne Brady Larry the Cable Guy ("You gotta put down the duckie, you've just gotta Git-IR-Done!")...

Well, Jim Henson still performed Warren Wolf, so it would be weird if Kermit was busy being in GMC while Jim Henson was able to perform on SS.

Dave Goelz did not perform on Sesame Street back then. The only time that he did perform was in the 24th season. I wonder if Frank Oz actually performed in that skit. He was directing movies around that time and wasn't available as much as he had been, and I doubt that the producers would...

Actually, Abbot and Costello normally played characters with different names, even in movies where their names are in the title. For example, in Abbot and Costello, Bud Abbot played a character named Slim while Lou Costello played a character named Tubby. I think there were a few exceptions, though.

Actually, Beaker's legs weren't shown in The Mppet Movie. He was standing behind the rainbow (I guess there must have been a stand or something attached to the behind of the rainbow).
