Famous or famous-ish people I have met: Bill Byrge, who played Bobby in the Ernest movies, actually came to my class when I was in the fifth grade. I had actually seen most of the movies he was in but didn't really remember his character (during that meeting, I was mistakenly under the...

Disney often puts out various "through the years" things showing the many different forms of Mickey Mouse. But often, when the original Mickey Mouse is shown, he's depicted as wearing the steamboat worker hat from Steamboat Willie, even though that was only in one short and the original...

Top ten scenes/lines from Space Jam: 10. Bugs thinking he's easily tricked the Nerdlucks only to get a big surprise. 9. Spit shine! 8. Michael Jordan being sent down the golf hole, Stan points his camera at Bill Murray who tells him "don't point that camera at me!" 7. Swackhammer deciding to...

He has said that Twitter ended up being a lot more time consuming that he expected, and I believe he said that he couldn't respond to everyone. I have asked him a few questions on Twitter. He hasn't responded to any that I posted, but has replied to/liked a few of my comments to tweets sent...

Thinking a bit about the Bert and Ernie sketches that were produced in season 21, it's fitting that one of Frank Oz's last performances as Bert alongside Ernie is one where Bert is genre-savvy enough to be aware that as soon as he wants to play the game that Ernie will be ready to end, while...

If you're referring to the episodes being donated to the American Archives of Public Broadcasting (and I might have gotten the thing wrong - the thing with locations in Boston and Washington, DC), they're not being remastered, just digitized (I thought all episodes were digitized long ago - at...

Didn't realize those are just clip montages. I knew the timeline one was, and the celebrity spoof segments, the others I either hadn't watched or just skipped around a bit to see what's included (without realizing they're not full clips).

ssetta can just make a lot of appointments.

Lately Sesame Street has been doing montages/collections to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Sesame Workshop has released a number of these kinds of "collections" online before, but I wonder how likely Sesame Workshop would be to include clips in these kinds of collections the the company hasn't...

The next release is Awesome Alphabet Collection on May 7. Muppet Wiki doesn't have any info on content yet, but the cover features Elmo and Abby Cadabby. I really hope this one has a wide range of alphabet-related segments from the shows 50-year-history, but the last several alphabet-themed...

Hmm, any idea if that wiki considers anything "lost" if the only way to see it is at Paley Center for Media or another museum that screens content to the public (maybe even content that this archive already has)? The Jim Henson Legacy sometimes includes clips from Out to Lunch at screenings, I...

I'll try a season-by-season listing, trying to limit it to five or less a season: Season 1 - Henson #9, Jazz #8, Ernie and Bert: Cake, Kermit's W Lecture, Before and After. Season 2 - Prairie Dawn invites monsters, Grover counts three blocks, Mad, Rubber Duckie, Number Three Ball Film. Season 3...

I wonder if the first 381 episodes digitized will be the first 381 episodes broadcast or if they'll be randomly selected. I feel sending in the episodes in order would make it easier to keep track of what has and hasn't been sent, but on the other hand, that article mentions some episodes like...

In addition to all those season 21 segments I listed that Jim Henson did, Muppet Wiki does list Ernie and Bert going to the movies to see "The Picnic" with a season 21 EKA, but looking at a wiki page from after its earliest known appearance, the wiki just lists it as an eka, not first, so it...
