Lately I've been thinking about how the 1993 Jim Henson Video releases of TMM and GMC had the Jim Henson Productions logo at the beginning and how the 1999 releases had the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which remains on modern releases), and I thought about how the 1994 release of The Dark Crystal...

Sesame Street Unpaved mentions a few Monsterpiece Theater segments that the wiki doesn't have info on, including The Ticklish Patient. I wonder how likely it is that there's additional Monsterpiece Theater segments not yet noted on the wiki. Though with the wiki's now-complete season 10-13 and...

When you compare the Muppet sketches of Sesame Street with the Muppet sketches of The Muppet Show and various variety show appearances, I wouldn't say there's many that are really strange. But maybe we have different opinions on what's "strange". Muppetzine once had an article called "Weird...

I think that sketch was part of the recent collection video of parody segments that Sesame Workshop put online. It's also been on DVD since 2011 (as part of Best of Sesame Street Spoofs!).

Probably won't happen, but wouldn't it be awesome if the pledge-drive anniversary special spotlighted the best of Sesame Street's previous pledge drive specials (which would probably be limited, but I think Big Bird's Birthday has plenty of original footage)?

Yeah, I brought up the reference on The Goldbergs several pages back, on the night it aired.

It's the start of the last day of Muppetational May, here's my remaining choices: Day 25: Best song from a classic Muppet movie: "You Can't Take No for an Answer" Day 26: Best song from a later Muppet movie: "We're Doing a Sequel" Day 27: Favorite Fraggle character from Fraggle Rock: Boober...

I wonder if that pledge drive special will be an alternate edit of the special we know about (like how Sesame Street Jam: A Musical Celebration was a re-edited version of 25 Wonderful Years: A Musical Celebration for pledge drive season). Either way, I guess this will be the first new Sesame...

Well, Muppet Wiki now notes the first appearance of every Monsterpiece Theater segment. Speculation no more! https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Monsterpiece_Theater So both The Sound of Music and Chariots of Fur premiered in season 14, near the end of that season. Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves...

Looking at new episode pages in the last few days, it's been discovered that there was a recurring Kermit the Frog sketch/identity called "Kermit the Frog, Smart Person" (was that an actual title card or did he refer to himself that way in dialogue?), with Kermit helping a character (which seems...

Looking at the guide for episode 3784, the second-to-last episode of the 29th season, I noticed that this episode has three segments with Grover making their debuts in this one. Then I clicked on each image to see what other episodes feature them, and it turns out that all three of these Grover...

When Lefty tried to sell Ernie a number 8 but Ernie couldn't afford one, he offered to trade one of his 9s - "it'll remind you of when the ninth of August is".

It seems like The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppet Christmas Carol were both made in a short amount of time. Movies tend to take a long time to develop, yet these both seem to have taken just two years before their releases. Jim Henson wanted to do The Dark Crystal after The Muppet Movie...

I've been looking for this for years, and how appropriate that I find it today on Memorial Day (and I saw that it has been online since last November, I should have tried harder): Promos for Nickelodeon's Muppet Mania marathon which aired Memorial Day 1993. This special had the...

Most of The Countesses have been girlfriends/love interests for The Count, but Countess Dahling von Dahling is The Count's fifth cousin instead. Now that Muppet Wiki has full guides for all of season 12, I've checked "what links here" on the character and found that, for season 12, The Count and...

Didn't think the promo would come out so soon after the announcement (especially when we have to wait three months).

Well, Muppet Wiki now has full guides for every season 12 episode. It looks like only one Warren Wolf segment aired in season 12. If not for that one season 12 press release listing him among many new characters for the season I probably wouldn't care so much. I wonder if there were more that...

Mine from the past week: Day 20: Best puppetry trick: Gonzo on the balloons (The Muppet Movie). Day 21: Favorite character from The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth: Hoggle. Day 22: Favorite parody starring the classic Muppets: Tales from the Vet (a lot of people picked things that I wouldn't really...

I think it was said that Shout! plans to put out at least four a year, and so far this year it seems they're doing one every three months (of course the two releases from 2018 came out closer, and the first release from this year was released close to those). So if Dance Party comes out in...

These pop-up videos list the original air dates*, but it would be cool if they would list the taping dates or even production code numbers. But I wonder if they're mainly looking at Muppet Wiki for info or if they're going into their own archival information. One thing I thought would be cool...
