I saw that The Newsman will be part of series 3.

Previously I asked about who would come with the tuxedo Kermit (especially since there's 13 figures while the figures come in two packs, and 13 is not dividable by 2), and was confused by the answer given. Now that I read this blog, it makes some sense. So some characters are paired with...

Wow, I decided to do this last month to fill the void of The Muppet Mindset no longer having Weekly Muppet Wednesday, and yet I kept forgetting to do more. Well I'll fix that... Denise Best-Known Role: Kermit's (ex)girlfriend, employee at the network. Performer: Juliane Buescher First...

Vienna by Billy Joel.

While it's widely sourced that Frank Oz mainly looped his characters voices in Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets from Space, Eric didn't do the puppetry (I don't think he performed in either). Kevin Clash did most of the physical puppeteering of Frank's characters in MTI, and in MFS, the...

There's a few videos with Sesame Street characters promoting the channel. Grover: Oscar: (I think he's performed by Eric Jacobson here - I didn't think that until I was watching and thought something about Oscar's voice sounded a little less gruff, but then I saw YouTube comments that say...

I dreamt that I went to my room and suddenly, I had a lot of Muppet merchandise that I didn't have before. Palisades figures that I don't have, the playsets I didn't bother to get (and in their original unopened packaging... and was also given a Palisades Stage Playset), several Muppet plush...

"As the World Falls Down" from Labyrinth. Interestingly, for a long time, I found the ballroom sequence to be one of the most boring/least interesting parts of the movie. And for a long time, I couldn't remember if that scene had a song or just instrumental music. I would watch the scene and...

Top ten lines from the Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline "Rue Britannia". 10. (after Rocky and Boris find that Bullwinkle did not die in the operating room after all) Rocky: (happy that he's alive) Bullwinkle! Boris: (shocked that he's alive) Moose! Bullwinkle: There's a J in there, Bullwinkle...

Top ten lines from the Rocky and Bullwinkle storyline "The Treasure of Monte Zoom" (spoiler alert, particularly at quote #6). 10. (after finding out that the treasure is just an old car) Rocky: I must say, I'm disappointed. Bullwinkle: Well go ahead then. Rocky: What? Bullwinkle: Say it...

On a similar question, I must ask, are the Minions from Despicable Me overrated? I really can't decide. I didn't think they deserved their own movie (which did end up being a decent film), and they make up the majority of Despicable Me merchandise (have there been any toys of the girls?). It...

Top ten gags/backfired traps from Road Runner cartoons. 10. The "Chinese Road Runner" appearance (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 9. Tornado pills (I keep forgetting which one this is from) 8. Wile E. dresses as a female Road Runner and gets chased by several coyotes (Ready, Set...

Maybe I've asked before, but what's the deal with Facebook posts that say "if you remember this, your childhood was awesome", particularly when it's something that isn't really from that long ago and was really popular for years? Even more "what's the deal..." are posts like "You're a '90s baby...

In the last few days I've seen posts that say that the show was originally offered to Netflix. When was this announced? I don't remember hearing about it (officially or rumor-wise) when the show was originally announced. And the only places I've seen this fact mentioned have been The Muppet...

I've been thinking about the two Dinosaurs clip shows, as well as the fact that Dinosaurs was such an expensive show to produce, and suddenly I wonder if those clip shows were made as a way of saving money. After all, none of the Dinosaurs characters appeared in the linking footage, just live...

Of the various Henson Company theme songs, my favorites are the ones from The Muppet Show and The Jim Henson Hour. When it comes to theme songs from animated shows, I like the themes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the original theme for the original series), Animaniacs, Rugrats, Rocky and...

This video of commercials from 1987 includes a commercial for Sesame Street Live: Big Bird and the ABCs at the 3:44 mark.

With today being Cinco de Mayo, I've been thinking a bit about Speedy Gonzales, and one thing has hit me. Usually, when there's a special Looney Tunes marathon or a video release that tries to include all of the characters, the Oscar-winning short "Speedy Gonzales" is often the only Speedy...

I'm really not sure what folder is the right one for this. A few months ago, The Muppet Mindset announced that it would discontinue its Weekly Muppet Wednesdays article series. Most of the really important characters have been covered, but there's still quite a few who I feel should be given WMW...
