    The "You know what?" thread

    I've recently noticed that the various Pixar sequels have come out almost a decade (or more) after the first (or previous). In fact right now it seems we're in a period where most Pixar movies are sequels - we just recently got Finding Dory, Cars 3, and now The Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4 is...

    Sesame Workshop Blu-rays

    I wonder if they could release the various pre-2008 film and animation inserts on Blu-ray. They were shot on film but would have been mastered on tape, but there's got to still be existing film copies somewhere. Though I have a feeling that the negatives/film prints would be in storage for the...

    Sesame Workshop Blu-rays

    I'm surprised that there still hasn't been a Follow That Bird Blu-ray now. Elmo in Grouchland I'm a little less surprised, though I could see Sony doing that (since Sony did release the first Blu-rays of Muppet movies). Next year would be the 20th anniversary of Elmo in Grouchland, that would...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt I was in an attic at some office associated with Sesame Street or Sesame Workshop, the attic had a few Sesame Street things. They had Miss Finche's car from Follow That Bird, and I can't really remember what other props/set pieces/vehicles... But they also had some VHS tapes...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, after all these months of no new announcements, there's finally going to be a new Sesame Street DVD, Elmo's World: Elmo Explores. And according to Amazon (which I checked after seeing it pointed out in editing history at Muppet Wiki), it'll be released by Shout! Factory, though I haven't...

    Who is Lionsgate associated with?

    With a lot of the old school songs that have not been released in audio form, if they were to do it now, they'd either have to do the original audio track from the show or have to have new performers rerecord the songs as the characters (I wonder if having current recasts record new versions of...

    Who is Lionsgate associated with?

    I've seen that some segments that were blocked have become unblocked. Not all segments that were blocked (unless some were voluntarily removed or made private), though. During this time, I had been thinking about how a lot of great songs have never been released on an album, made a couple top...

    "The Happytime Murders" premieres August 24, 2018

    Just because the reviews are awful doesn't mean it's an awful movie. It's normal for movies that get many bad reviews from professional critics to do well and be very well-liked by the general public (of course, just because it does super-well at the box office also doesn't mean it's that good)...

    Who is Lionsgate associated with?

    Interestingly, while a number of inserts where the same audio appeared on an audio release were taken down, it seems they haven't taken down videos that are taken from the audio release (with stills or lyrics or blank backgrounds or whatever).

    The "You know what?" thread

    It seems like Muppet Wiki has pages for almost every episode of Sesame Street I remember seeing as a kid back in the late-1980s and early-1990s. There's not many left that I haven't found a page with info on (and the episodes could have pages without mentioning certain episode details I...

    Questions about anything

    On Three's Company, Jack had a lot of girlfriends and dates. Anybody recall if he ever told any of them that he couldn't let his landlord know he was straight? I often assumed he did so his dates would be careful if the landlord was around, but in thinking about it, I really don't recall for...

    On Three's Company, I like Teri better than Chrissy.

    Unpopular Opinions

    There are movies I really like that it seems many (at least when it comes to "online people") really hate: It's Pat Master of Disguise (it seems whenever I talk to people I actually know - particularly ones still in high school or recently graduated - they like it, but everyone who talks about...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Been thinking about some things that would be cool for Muppet Wiki regarding it's Sesame Street guides. For a few weeks, I thought it'd be cool to start pages (maybe sandbox pages) listing all known first appearances of inserts. It'd probably take a bit of time, but would be cool to have...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the recent Nostalgia Critic episode about Fox Kids, he mentions how the supporting cast in Taz-Mania were so well-spoken and talky, thinking it's ironic for a show about the Tasmanian Devil. I feel it would have been a bigger deal if the star was the Road Runner. But then I realized, in...

    Top 7 Lost SS Inserts

    He seems to think segments that haven't made their way online/in fan collections in English are lost, as opposed to just in storage (though I also feel he's worded some of it as saying Sesame Workshop isn't likely to have them released), but I found an old article saying that Sesame Workshop did...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Well, I've had trouble finding the article in question, even with Google search, but tonight I found it, or an article like it: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20040421005198/en/Sesame-Workshop-Library-Including-35-Years-Sesame This article is from 2004, and I previously thought it was...

    The Muppets Take London

    I wonder how different this will be from The Muppets Take the Bowl. It'll probably have some of the same songs, but I wonder if it'll basically be the same, only with different guest stars and some other differences (perhaps they'll make it a bit British). It'll probably have Pigs in Space...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I recently read that Mel Brooks' first two films were box office bombs (according to TV Tropes), and his third, Blazing Saddles, was among the top five box office hits for the year it came out. I also read that Brooks' was given creative control and final say on how it turned out. Considering...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    So in the live-action/CGI Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, Dave Seville is the father/guardian of the Chipettes as well as the Chipmunks, and in The Road Chip, the Chipettes leave Dave and the Chipmunks to be judges on American Idol, mainly to keep them out of much of the plot I guess. And at...
