    The "You know what?" thread

    Another thing in regards to the two Sesame Street disco albums: Those two albums came out within a few years of each other. I don't think they did that with any other musical genre albums. There were two Sesame Street rock and roll albums that came out almost ten years apart, and I think there...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently, I've downloaded the entire albums Sesame Street Fever and Sesame Disco, and in listening to the albums so much, today it's made me wish that there had been a Sesame Street disco-themed special back in the 1970s, maybe to go along with one of the two albums. Heck, it would have been...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On The Goldberg's, Dave Kim was originally only supposed to appear in one episode, where Adam wanted hos friends to join him on a Goonies-like adventure and only invited Dave Kim to be Data. It's mentioned that Adam never invited him over before and the real home movie scene at the end shows...

    Questions about anything

    Growing up in the age of video rental stores, it seems like the average video store didn't have games for Game Boy, Game Gear, or other handheld systems for rent (though I do recall one short-lived video store in my area that did have Game Gear games for rent). Anybody know why the handheld...

    TV Tropes

    A couple things I've read at TV Tropes that I disagree with (I think most are cases of "Never Trust a Trailer"): The page for the recently-canceled short-lived Me, Myself & I says that it was promoted as a comedy as opposed to a dramady, which might have helped hurt ratings, but I feel like...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Can't believe I didn't report the news here sooner, but in March, there will be Love to Learn Vol. 2. Hmm, I wonder if there's a new trend here, giving volume or sequel numbers to previous releases. We got Singing with the Stars 2 two years ago, and now we're getting Love to Learn Vol. 2, and...

    Sesame Street Season 48 Episode 4809 - Our Family's Way

    Well, the geography for Ernie and Bert's apartment is also confusing.

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

    I wonder if TV Tropes has a page for shutting places down over slight violations, or if TV Tropes needs such a page. I wonder if the "shutting down over a minor violation" would apply to the Newhart episode This Probably is Condemned, in which after the health inspector inspects the inn, a...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Best Thing to Ever Happen to me. Got it in my head after watching It's Pat. Nice sequence.

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Muppet Treasure Island, when Gonzo's arms and legs get stretched out, he likes it, saying that he might even have a future with the NBA. But in the next scene, Bunsen cures Gonzo of his longer limbs. I guess Gonzo decided he didn't want longer arms and legs after all.

    Frank Oz on Reddit AMA 1/4/2018

    It is a shame he didn't answer somebody else's question on why Steve Whitmire wasn't in Muppet Guys Talking (though I think he did respond to a different question concerning performers who were left out). I wasn't surprised to see him say that he can't respond to the question about Jim Henson's...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The Happiest Street in the World. Listening to this, I feel like this would make a good replacement theme song if they had to create a new one (though I feel if they did it now as opposed to the late-1970s/early-1980s it wouldn't be the same). In fact, I feel this song should have been...

    Bob Newhart did not want Bob and Emily to have kids on The Bob Newhart Show.... ....and in Elf, he plays Papa Elf, who wanted to adopt Buddy, having wanted a kid of his own.

    A few things about How the Grinch Stole Christmas (a few of which I mentioned in the "what's the deal with....?" thread today): 1. When Cindy Lou Who questions The Grinch stealing the Christmas tree, she doesn't seem to notice the rest of the room was empty. 2.The narrator says that the only...

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

    Thinking about it, I'm remembering that scene from the 2000 movie where Cindy Lou's parents hear him on the roof but assume it's the real Santa so they stay in bed. And another thing regarding the film that I've thought of: The movie expands Cindy Lou Who's role into that of a main character...

    So Frank Oz has a Twitter now...

    Somebody asked who performed the Ernie statue, and unfortunately, he doesn't remember (speaking of which, I know everybody who's been asked doesn't remember who performed Astoria, but has anybody asked Oz?).

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

    Similarly, Gary Coleman and Emmanual Lewis were both actors who never grew past child-size who starred on sitcoms where they played black kids adopted by white families. I wouldn't be surprised if Webster played "follow the leader" with Diff'rent Strokes' concept of "a black kid adopted by white...
