I was reading the listing of ages in Sesame Beginnings and thought, if Cookie Monster is younger than Big Bird, then he must be a child on Sesame Street, since Big Bird is six, but then Baby Elmo is only six months younger than baby Big Bird, and on Sesame Street Elmo is three. So either the...

Yes, they were dancing in both Pigs in Space and in the backstage scene before it, for no apparant reason, though Link did dance with Annie Sue in an earlier scene. I wonder if Link would have been disqualified for switching partners (or maybe he and Annie Sue already got disqualified and Link...

The Green Frackle in drag was named Gloat. The Blue Frackle who had his head knocked off was called Boppity. Sesame Street has had a lot of female monsters throughout the years, though now that I think of it, I don't think there were many regular female monsters on Sesame Street at he time...

I just found out on another message board that our very own member Earl Kress, AKA Was Once Ernie, has just started his own weblog. Here is the link: http://mynameisearlkress.com/weblog/

Has anybody noticed that on The Muppet Show, unlike Sesame Street, there were hardly any female monsters? The closest thing to a female monster is Mean Mama, who was sometimes portrayed as a male but also often as a female. Of course, it could be said that she was a woman who people mistakenly...

It's also a shame that they didn't include the alternate Connie Stevens episode.

How is it making matters worse by showing season 35 episodes while we wait for season 37? It's still reruns for a longer amount of time either way. There's nothing wrong with watching reruns, especially if the reruns are episodes you haven't seen. There must be thousands of episodes that I...

I don't recall there being any mention of who brought the monster onboard, nor do I remember seeing Mean Mama appear backstage coming on-stage.

The character guide does have some mistakes. In the current events section of Muppet Wiki, the person who wrote the guide admitted that after it was published at the Kermitage website, he learned a few of his own mistakes that were posted there. He had gotten some of the names, performers, and I...

One thing that I forgot to point out is that in the picture I mentioned, only Lenny's head can be seen. His arms aren't really shown, so he could have been a snake in that picture.

It's been awhile since i last watched the Florence henderson episode with the Muppet Morsels on, but I beleive that the morsels state that Lenny the Lizard evolved from the Snake Frackle, not the one that we've recently been calling Snake Frackle (though before the DVD release, we've been...

Before I saw Sex and Violence, I expected Sam the Eagle to bully/ boss Nigel around a bit, so I was surprised at the portrayal of both characters in the special. It seems like Sam was actually less grouchy/ annoyed at the shows weirdness than usual in that special. It seems like the only...

Muppet Classic Theater is a good production, at least for the time it was released, when there'd only been one muppet movie since the death of Jim Henson (oh, and let's not forget about Richard Hunt), and before Muppets Tonight was broadcast. I do wish that there were more familiar...

I have a feeling that if the You've Got a Friend number didn't have to be cut from the DVD, the Muppet Morsels would have acknowledged him and explained his origins. That creatures other appearances (in a few audience shots and the Vincent Price opening) are probably too short to acknowledge...

No, Mildred never did appear backstage, but I don't think there was any rule stating that she couldn't have ever appeared backstage (most of Jim henson's non-Kermit characters didn't appear backstage much untill the second season). While The Newsman was performed by Jim Henson, who was...

No, Mean Mama was never referred to by name, otherwise fans might have known better. On her page at Muppet Wiki, there is a picture of the page from the Muppet Annual where her name was mentioned. It is the picture of Mean mama in Statler and Waldorf's box that has been used many tiems, and...

Before I posted my prank, I considered mentioning in the letter some of the Ernie and Bert skits included, and making up a few skits to fool the hardcore fans into thinking that it had skts that the hardcore fans didn't even have any memory of. Here is an example: "The Ultimate Ernie &...

I don't think it's bad. I think that Gonzo and Camillia get along better as a couple than Kermit and Miss Piggy.

As far as I know it didn't happen. I haven't seen that happen in any Muppet Labs skits, and I can't think of any Muppet Labs skits I haven't seen where that could have happened. It sounds like your brother was describing the Gorillia detector skit, though that one had a gorillia, Beaker wasn't...

I noticed that Miss Piggy seemed really defenseless in the Sherlock Holmes sketch, and then I was reading this thread, and soemthing occurred to me. It seems like Miss Piggy's personality wasn't developed much in the first three episodes. Of course, the writers didn;t plan on having her be a...
