That's very interesting. I wonder if they just didn't use the character's puppet because they had so many others to choose from. Shame they didn't give him a cameo as a pirate in MTI since that's the case.

He did indeed! This episode was much, much better. I really like the episodes that focus on Oscar and Slimey. Nice little gag with Carrie Underworm. And I like how Oscar was up to his old gag of spreading grouchiness by having Slimey practice on the kitchen countertops at Hooper's. Elmo...

Bip Boppadotta was in the laundromat window watching the races... he even said "Mahnah Mahnah?"

To me, the problem is that Disney just doesn't seem to want to release any of the older specials. Sure, they released the "pilot" specials as bonus features on DVD sets, and one other special... but those were all half hour specials... If they only can release 2 specials on DVD, I vote this...

No no no... One of the reasons they stopped airing Unpaved was that they were starting to politic with SW's partnership, and they were starting up the whole "The N" segment. Don't forget that. Secondly, you were talking about Noggin's airings of an older show, where I'm referring to the...

I still feel this season is leaps and bounds above the dreaded first season of the segmentation and routine-i-ness from 2002. Though, that one DID have that great Oscar and Telly segment. I mean, even the fifth time of seeing an Abby segment is better than Monster Clubhouse or Hero guy...

Well put... sort of like that random episode where Telly mothered a baby duck and turned into his exact puppet from "Peter and the Wolf" (or was it Elmo and the Wolf?) Everything is an excuse to save money... reusing segments all too much, long segment intros... less and less puppet characters...

Not to mention it aired on a Saturday Night just before Christmas when people were out shopping. I barely got it back in time to watch the second half hour. Plus, it IS a Saturday anyway... what else are they going to air? NBC usually just reruns Law and Order all night long. (Can't...

It would be a pretty lousy thing to do to NOT release all 5 seasons of the Muppet Show and only have 4 of them. Disney has been giving us a LOT of incomplete series sets with their Disney Afternoon shows (Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, etc.) But it seems that TMS DVD's have been selling pretty...

Actually, no less than an hour after I posted that message (and I never went back to correct or change it) it actually aired on that rare DTV channel. The film is REALLY called "It Runs in the Family."

Honestly, I wouldn't mind waiting until 2011 for a new Muppet movie. if it does come out in 2010, it could easily feel rushed... that is, unless they were secretly working on the script the entire time. We have a film making culture that often announces a project coming to theaters within one...

I keep saying it, but this entire season screams "Budget Crunch" in every aspect. The streets are almost deserted, segments are getting way too much rerun time (Abby's especially. I thought they made 26 of them, not 6 of them for 26 episodes), and Elmo seems to be in every episode because they...

I really just hate this whole business model of reaching out to rich kids who want to pretend to be nostalgic or hip and have a never ending trust fund from their rich parents or luck out with a high paying job or something. Really... we should have known from the start id someone's website has...

I think the film works better if she didn't change at the end, myself. We've seen that old chestnut, the bad guy changing at the end of the Christmas Special... it really speaks more that she got so selfish she wound up not getting her way and storming out of the theater at the end. Really...

There's this weird channel I got ever since I had to buy a DTV box... it runs all these weird obscure little movies every single day, sometimes you'll actually find a good one. Father's Day, they ran the obscure sequel to "Christmas Story" (If Sequel is the right word). It was from the same...

ARRRGGGHH! We're gonna have to wait until May!

I can't blame it for trying to bring in morals and teaching good values... just the way they did it. There are 2 kinds of Kids shows I absolutely detest, again as a Sesame Street Fan... ones that talk extremely down to kids like they're all idiots (Barney, Dora, Teletunnies...etc.) and those...

I haven't seen these yet. I went to TRU and Target, and they both don't have it. Must me a Wal*Mart or something exclusive. I've seen a lot of other Smurf figure sets, all pretty anachronistic (Extreme Sports, Pop band...etc of course, not that there aren't any anachronistic Schliech Smurf...

I tell yah... there are times when I watch this show, and I just mutter, "I'm gettin' to old for this..." Stuff... I say stuff... This was one of those times. The opening segment was more dull Elmo stuff... Chris and the puppeteers had about as much fun as they could... you could tell what...

Ah, New Zoo Revue. The BANE of my existence as a Sesame Street fan. I try very hard not to rag on anyone's favorite show (cuz the stuff I like is pretty out there and stuff that only someone like me could even like), but I feel that I have to in this case. The show somehow appears ever so...
