    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I think this is the original theatrical trailer for The Muppets Take Manhattan, though it appears to be in fullframe instead of widescreen (would a theatrical trailer be in fullframe?), and it seems the person who uploaded it added in the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which didn't exist at the time...

    Tough Pigs Frank Oz interview part one

    I wonder if that phone "breaking up" when "the camel" is asked about was planned by Oz and Tough Pigs before the interview (as in, they expected that to happen) or if that's his way of avoiding things he doesn't want to talk about (maybe the documentary sheds some light on that, Tough Pigs...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppet Guys Talking" premieres at SXSW in Austin March 12, 2017

    The four surviving performers from the documentary have been having video chat conversations recorded and put online, and I've thought of two things that would have made for great opportunities with this: 1. Talk about productions that have come out since the film was made (since they clearly...

    The Muppet Mindset

    This week the website is having coverage on Muppet Guys Talking, including an interview with Frank Oz (which isn't on the site yet, but a different interview with Mr. Oz is on Tough Pigs now).

    The "You know what?" thread

    Among the bonus features in the first Back to the Future DVD set is a list of frequently asked questions, with one being "if Griff is Biff's grandson, why don't we meet his son?", with the response "since we never learn Griff's last name, how do you know Griff's mother wasn't Biff's daughter?"...

    Little things we've noticed

    Wow, I've had "Right Where I Belong" on my mind quite a bit lately, because I got a few more things I've noticed.... Kermit sings the song in the dressing room right before they go on stage and sing it, but by then there's a bit of a change in the lyrics. There's an entire verse changed. In...

    Little things we've noticed

    A running gag in The Muppets Take Manhattan is that Kermit would describe Manhattan Melodies and start breaking into the opening song before getting interrupted, the first time Janice is there to provide a guitar riff, making it sound a little more like a ragtime song, as Kermit sings "Look at...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In UHF, RJ Fletcher tries to sabotage George's telethon to raise money to save the station by kidnapping Stanley Spadowsi. But since Stanley was responsible for the station finally getting decent ratings and saving the station before, did it ever occur to RJ to maybe make him an offer to host a...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    Another clip with Oscar and Bruno that I wonder about in terms of whether it's an insert or part of a street story is one that was available at sesamestreet.org, it doesn't seem to be there anymore (and I haven't seen it on YouTube), listed as "Everybody Knocks", where Oscar had several trash...

    Sesame Street Fever vs. Happiest Street in the World

    The two Sesame Street disco albums have songs that seem to be their theme for the album. Sesame Fever has the self-titled Sesame Street Fever.... And Sesame Disco has The Happiest Street in the World.... Though in the latters case, The Happiest Street in the World is not the opening...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Something else I find interesting about It's Pat. In the last year, I've seen some people say, in video reviews of the film and on the TV Tropes YMMV page, that while Pat looks androgynous Chris looks more like a trans-gendered person than someone whose gender is hard to determine. And yet I...

    R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers

    You can add him to a long list of celebrities who I thought was already dead a long time ago. I also didn't know he was in Lilo and Stitch (though I also haven't seen that film). M*A*S*H is a show I kinda find overrated, and I like the early seasons a lot better than the later ones (which are...

    Will we get a Sesame Street TV Special to honor the 50th anniversary in 2019?

    I was talking a little about this in the "you know what...?" thread, but after somebody suggested there be a medley of Sesame Street songs with a title like "Evolution of Sesame Street", I've been thinking that would be a good title for an anniversary special, documentary, DVD, or whatever. I'd...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    For a long time, I have wondered if this was a stand-alone segment or part of an episodes plot (and I've seen somebody point out that the clip is too out of context to just be a stand-alone sketch), but as I was watching the behind-the-scenes footage, I found that I'm so close and yet so far...

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    Looking at the list of known taping dates, I see that I've been wrong all these years about the Kermit and Elmo segments on Happy and Sad and Loud and Quiet being taped on the same day, I guess they just used the same characters and background (I wonder if Elmo's appearance on Sesame Street News...

    Sesame Street Season 48 Episode 4815 - Chamki Visits Sesame Street

    Seems there's been quite a few episodes in recent years about characters meeting new friends. That would make a good concept for a DVD release - it could include this episode plus the introductions of Julia and Rudy, maybe also the introductions of Chris and Leela. Then again, this season...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sesame Street had a numbers song medley with Pantatonix, maybe there should be a letters song medley with some music grouc (maybe even Pentatonix again). Maybe include ABC-DEF-GHI, J Friends, La La La (or The National Association of W Lovers), D Duah Duah (or Disco D), and I in the Sky (and...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Okay, I'm looking at a still image at Muppet Wiki, and I guess it was a collection of rarities or things that at least weren't mainstream, as the videos included Fritz the Cat, Meet the Feebles (which I thought was from the 1990s), the Eric Stoltz edit of Back to the Future, and some stuff I...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    This episode was actually referenced on The Goldbergs tonight. There's a scene where Adam is shown going to Johnny Adkins for some bootleg videos, and "Sesame Street Episode 847" is listed on one of the labels. When i first saw the titles listed on the tape labels and noticed Sesame Street...

    Trash vs. Doin' the Trash

    I thought it was about trash. About being so passionate about trash. And some of it seems to be about where you can find trash and how to handle it. And some of the lyrics suggest that the singer might have grown up poor so most of his toys were recycled from trash items.
