    "Sesame Beginnings" DVDs...

    I read about this DVD in a post on the Tough pigs message board, but when I first read the title, I was really hoping that this would be the first episode. :mad:

    Appearances by Gaffer

    I'm assuming that by "later" episodes you were talking about the last season episodes. Gaffer didn't appear in the Gene Kelley episode (oddly enough, Foo Foo was in Gaffer's usual spot during the closing number), and I'm 99 percent sure that Gaffer wasn't in the Lorretta Switt episode (I only...

    How Snuffy "just missed" the adults

    I could be wrong about what you might be thinking, but even though he was thought to be imaginary in those productions, there was no mention of him being imaginary, there were no scenes where Snuffy left right before the other characters arrived (although in FTB, when Big Bird really does...

    What kind of action will get SW's attention?

    Do us hardcore fans really care about whether the shows current target audience sees these old shows or not as long as we can see them? Besides, if it is on late at night, we get a better chance of them being completely uncut, with no censorship. I am not sure what PBS would censor from older...

    What kind of action will get SW's attention?

    Maybe PBS could air reruns during a late night time slot. I don't know if PBS normally runs 24 hours a day or, if not, when PBS goes off the air, but maybe at an 11 p.m. or midnight showing of really old episodes. Maybe there could be a cycle of 100 episodes shown every three months and then PBS...

    Appearances by Gaffer

    I knew it wasn't Gaffer. I was saying that Gaffer should have been the cat in that scene, instead of some newer cat (was that cat used in any production made before MCC?).

    Ernie has moved

    I meant that it might have been out of place for Guy Smiley to have been interracting with some kids. it is rare for Guy Smiley to be in a scene where he isn't hosting a game show.

    Appearances by Gaffer

    Gaffer also meowed in the u.k. spot from the Lynda Carter episode and made some cat noises in the Wally Boag episode. I thought her meows sounded feminine. Catgut pretty much only spoke in The Muppet Musicians of bremen. She did meow a few times after that.

    The Muppets present Top 50 Muppet Moments

    I forgot to mention a few others who wore tuxedos: Link Hogthrob, Dr. Strangepork, David Hogsohog, and all generic, nameless pigs. I also realized that there were quite a few characters I didn't include at the ceremony. These are oversights, but what characters were listed in my last post...

    Appearances by Gaffer

    I think the line was "she didn't wanna roam", although in the Wally Boag episode, when gaffer interrupts Foo Foo's act, Rowlf says "Go get him!" Maybe there's no real answer as to whether Gaffer is male or female (by the way, is Foo Foo a man or woman). Gaffer does look a little bit girlish...

    Your Thoughts: Emmet Otter DVD

    Do you know why Hit! was allowed to keep in the "Starring Jim Henson's Muppets" credit in the opening? After all, this credit was removed from the first few DVD releases (although this credit was in the bonus episode found in Dance Your Cares Away, perhaps it was a mistake). Did Hit! need...

    Classic Muppet references in "Fraggle Rock"

    I have read that in one of Traveling Matts post card segments, Traveling Matt went to a drive-in which was playing The Dark Crystal. In Traveling Matt's Discovery, I recall there being a Grover doll in the background in a sceen where Gobo and Traveling Matt look in a childs room. If/...

    Ernie has moved
