    Your Thoughts: Dinosaurs Sesasons 1-2 DVD

    Well, now that I've watched all of them, I guess I'll get off my butt and review the rest of them: Leader of the Pack: Not bad, but not good, either. It is funny how Robbie and his entire family get beaten. It's interesting that a fake funeral was held for Robbie. Wouldn't the other gang...

    who's that muppet in 30th anniversary logo?

    I was just looking at the page for The Muppets: A Celebration of Thirty Years at Muppet Wiki, and was looking at a picture of the logo, and I noticed that in the lower left corner, next to Ernie, there is a character with a hook-like nose, similar to Gonzo's, but Gonzo is seen on the top right...

    Willie Wimple

    Can anybody tell me anything about Willie Wimple? I have recently read that he was a character who was part of a series of environmental cartoons on Sesame Street. I've seen one of them, Water Pollution, but he only appears to be there at the beginning. Can anybody explain this character, or...

    Working with Frank Oz.

    Yes, it did take years to get this show on the air, but The Muppet Movie was went into production three years after the show began, and I doubt tha Henson would have hired people to write a script before a deal for the movie was made. I know you didn't say this, but I also doubt that a script...

    Telly and Snuffy

    It seems like it's been common for Caroll Spinney, Jim Henson and Frank Oz to perform characters interracting with each other, but not as common for other performers, like Martin Robinson, Kevin Clash, or Richard Hunt.

    Questions about the Playhouse Videos

    I think that the following videos could have had clips from the movies: The Kermit and Piggy Story: Never Before, Never Again, The Rainbow Connection, The First Time it Happens, and maybe the wedding sequence from The Muppets Take Manhattan (following the staged wedding sketch). Rock...

    Questions about the Playhouse Videos

    I recall the clip form The Muppets Take Manhattan also being edited. I think the video cut the brief scene where Gonzo speaks to the boat driver. After Gonzo mentions that the chickens will do their impression of Tony Bennet singing the William Tell Overture, it cuts straight to the chickens...

    TMS Copyright Notices

    I figured that. What I was wondering was why Henson didn't just use one of the animated logo sequences from the 1980s (though I'm not sure when those were created, and I don't know when Henson bought the rights to the show).

    Jim Henson and 1980s Performers

    Often when I see or hear about a Sesame Street sketch from the 1980s where Jim Henson performs a character who co-stars with a character who was performed by somebody who joined Sesame Street in the 1980s (or even late-1970s), I often wonder how those performers felt, being able to work with the...

    I often wonder why a new shot of Zoot was used for the closing logos after the distribution rights to the show were sold. I mean, couldn't Henson have just replaced the ending shot with the Henson Associates logo used in various 1980s productions instead (then again, I do not know if the...

    Actually, this ending was used before 1995. This ending was always used on Nickelodeon, which began airing reruns in 1994. This shot was also used in Time-Lifes release of the Harry Belafonte episode. This shot was also included in the "It's the Muppets" compilation videos from 1993. The...

    Steve Whitmire's Ernie

    Most sources have said that Steve Whitmire's first performance as Ernie was in Sesame Street Stays Up Late, from late 1993 (the 25th anniversary video was probably made much earlier, and even if it wasn't, Steve Whitmire didn't perform in the video, which might be an explanation for Ernie's...

    Working with Frank Oz.

    I thought that a movie deal wasn't made untill sometime during or after the second season. Then again, untill a few months ago I also thought that the Muppet Meeting Films began sometime in the 1960s, not 1975. And there are other things that I mistakenly thought for a long time.

    Working with Frank Oz.

    Are you saying that Jack Burns got fired from writing for The Muppet Show because of attitude problems? I never knew that. Of course, Jack Burns did get hired to write The Muppet Movie.

    How About Some Journey to Ernie Videos?

    I think that Global Grover DVDs would also be good. Feature three Global Grover sketches per volume, plus one or two Global Thingy sketches and some sketches that have to do with countries that Grover talks about.

    anything muppets cheer about school

    Do all three skits have the exact same cheerleaders and the exact same background? I know that the first season had a number of skits with cheerleaders, featuring a bald green guy, a blue guy with black hair (he looks like Hard Head Henry Harris without sunglasses), a small purple guy with...
