    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    I've thought a few things about Rocko's Modern Life recently. In I Have No Parents, Rocko and Philbert act surprised when they see that the creator of the Fatheads has the last name Bighead. But it also seems like they had been watching/fans of the show for a while. They're just now noticing...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Seems there's a number of movies, franchises, shows, celebrities, and things that get a lot of hate online - it's common for people on all message boards to dislike them, it's common for them to be picked on by various caustic critics like The Nostalgia Critic, it's common for shows like South...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I think it's odd that they didn't post any new "Thought of the Week" videos, period, during this delay. If they had cold feet about uploading the new Kermit video, couldn't they have just posted one with a different character? Unless that was the last one produced at the time and they didn't...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Steve said on his blog that he heard that Matt was the only performer who vocally expressed outrage when the main performers were told of Whitmire's firing, so I guess that dismisses my theory that maybe he didn't know Whitmire had been fired as opposed to retired when he accepted the role of...

    Old Nick Appreciation Thread

    Here's something I recently found that I had wanted to see again: The 1993 Slime Time Live. Looking at some YouTube clips, it seems like they had Slime Time other years, I only remember them doing it in Summer/Fall 1993. This was the first time I remember seeing Rocko. I spotted him during...

    The Nicktoon Thread

    One thing I started thinking about today is that while the entire Ren and Stimpy series is on DVD, there hasn't been a "Complete Series" boxed set (though the Nickelodeon episodes at least are still available for sale). And it hit me that they probably wouldn't want to release the "Adult Party...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On Kenan and Kel, Kel's favorite drink is orange soda. Kenan and Kel aired on Nickelodeon. The Nickelodeon logo is orange. Coincidence, or a subtle reference to Nickelodeon?

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    The thing that was said was that Clifford did more with The Electric Mayhem than Lips did, even though Clifford was only part of the band once while Lips was with the band in one season of TMS, GMC, MFC, Muppets at Walt Disney World (even if just for the bands musical performance), an entire...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I don't know if it's been discussed here (there's so many posts to go through), but I've been thinking about Vogel taking over as Kermit, I wondered if he felt right doing so after how Whitmire was fired, there's a discussion threat at Tough Pigs started by somebody who is disappointed in Vogel...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Wait, has somebody else talked about this theory on the board? I'm pretty sure it's not a cover-up like I might have suggested, but I'd be just as surprised if it was than if it wasn't. Whenever I see Steve or the Hensons or somebody from Disney talk about the situation, it's easy to feel...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently, I've been getting into The Goldbergs, and recently got the first season DVD. In some of the bonus features, it's said that when they did the episode Goldbergs Never Say Die, which is an entire plot reference/tribute to the movie Goonies, most of the main actors had never seen the movie...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I've been thinking about how Jim Henson's kids have been talking about Steve Whitmire having these kinds of issues before his termination, something they (and other people who have worked with Whitmire) hadn't publicly said before, and I can't help but wonder if Disney has forced/blackmailed...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    I found this special on YouTube: It's interesting how in Ernest Goes to Splash Mountain, everybody pronounces Ernest's last name differently from how it gets pronounced in movies. I know there's some names that are said differently from person to person (for example, I've heard Joe...

    Muppet Pundit: The Steve Whitmire Blog

    Interesting that he titled one of his articles "Let's Talk Lips", but spent most of it talking about his fandom of Rocky Horror Picture Show, only mentioning Lips briefly (and I had no idea he was given his name because of that movie). I was expecting/hoping it'd be an article where he talked...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Recently I dreamt that I saw footage of Herry Monster, being performed by a new performer, and his new performer actually resembled Jerry Nelson in his later years, only his hair and beard were a lot longer (I think his beard touched the floor). And the Herry Monster puppet was REALLY LONG...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4731 - Hello Rudy

    When Julia's debut recently aired, I figured there'd probably be a DVD release of this soon (and this is just logical assumption), I thought maybe there could be a release about making new friends. And then this comes out, another introduction to a new character. If there's a new release next...

    Video: SST Muppets in Listen! Drive! Surprise! Chrysler ads

    I've never seen anything that indicated what kind of age she's supposed to be. Of course I think kids used to get out of having to wear car seats at age two, but now it seems they have to weigh a certain amount.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I just saw that Once Upon a Sesame Christmas will be released on October 10.

    Video: SST Muppets in Listen! Drive! Surprise! Chrysler ads

    It looks like Rosita is riding in a car seat, though I'm not entirely sure. I get that Elmo would need one, but I'm surprised to see Rosita in one. It's also interesting that they had Elmo and Rosita paired up, as opposed to Elmo and Abby or Elmo and Zoe. But hey, we get some new Rosita content!

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    I'll have to find it. I know I saw a thread at Muppet Central a few years ago that had the link (or maybe it reprinted the old article), and I remember seeing it around 1999, but I'm actually having trouble finding it in Google.
