I was surprised to hear that Elmo's World would return this year. Didn't think they'd show full frame segments anymore.

Does anybody know why Ziggy was silent in the one Ziggy animated special Ziggy's Gift? I remember when I first saw that special, I thought he was always silent. At the time I don't think I'd actually read the Ziggy comics (I knew about Ziggy because I knew people who had Ziggy toys), but a few...

I just saw on Muppet Wiki that the classic episodes are edited on HBO. I wonder why, since HBO doesn't air commercials (and I think these are just on the HBO streaming service, so... Yeah, why the cuts?). Looked at the list of episodes available, one of them is listed as "Big Bird Bowling...

From what I've seen Frank say about Grover in recent interviews, I feel like Grover must be one of his favorite characters to perform. It would have been great, though, if they had him perform Bert and Cookie Monster on those days in recent years when he's been exclusively Grover and a one-shot...

It seems like Kermit segments were becoming scarce before The Jim Henson Company sold the characters to Sesame Workshop. I watched season 30 almost every day and felt like the appearances of old Kermit segments were few and far between (they showed Kermit and Joey singing the alphabet, ABCs of...

I've been wondering if Frank Oz was coming back. He hasn't been on the show since Jerry Nelson died, and most of his recent performances (outside of parodies) featured Jerry Nelson with him. Would the lack of Jerry Nelson (not to mention Kevin Clash, Fran Brill, and maybe Joey Mazzarino) make...

I wonder who performed Big Bird on The Tonight Show last night. Big Bird and The Count both appeared.

What stuff have we gotten that didn't even air on the show?

There's an episode of Mister Ed where Wilbur says "when a miracle happens, you don't question it". We could take that advice for how we've gotten these recent episodes.

While the Scooter and Rizzo subplot was one of the best things about this episode (along with the closing song), I must wonder what the deal with it is. So Rizzo talks Scooter out of getting his insurance involved by saying that he'll be labled an unsafe driver, and keeps scamming Scooter into...

Last night, I dreamt that I was working on a new Muppet show. Except in this universe, the Muppets were real. And we were shooting the show at the middle school I went to. And I had to find Animal (and was told that we owe Animal something... I think he asked for unlimited bathroom breaks). I...

I can't wait to know what bonus features will be included, probably an existing video, street story, and clip (based on what we've gotten in the past years DVDs, I won't be surprised if it's a longer-form segment, like a Cookie's Crumby Pictures clip).

I got the figures last week, but didn't open them until last night. And they are awesome. Okay, so some of the articulation has been hard for me to do, and I have had trouble getting them to hold their accessories (I have gotten Fozzie to hold his rubber chicken). And I haven't been able to...

I saw these at Toys R Us and picked them up (except for the standard version of Bunsen and Beaker). I have not yet opened them, plan to change that within a night or two. I took pictures of the packaging to post on Muppet Wiki, had a bit of trouble adding the images (it's not often I add images...

Sometime after this thread was posted, there was an episode of "The Muppets" ("The Ex-Factor") where Animal refers to Zoot by name, and he referred to him as "Zoot" instead of "Zat". Considering Zoot isn't referred to by name that often, I say it's best that Animal not call him "Zat". Those...

Long-unseen characters made from Anything Muppets can easily be brought back for cameos or background appearances, since even if the puppets are no longer usuable, they still have the Anything Muppet bases. They don't have to build a full puppet. And the majority of non-animal characters are...

I've seen a number of people who have said that they wouldn't want this to be exactly like The Muppet Show, or that the show would fail if it was exactly like The Muppet Show. I'd like to have a "what if"/alternate reality machine to prove whether a new "Muppet Show" would succeed. I agree...

I thought of a kind of re-tool I'd like to see, though I doubt they'd go with this: I'd like to see a special structure that's like how the new show has been presented, and part like The Muppet Show. Each episode has three acts, not counting the cold open and credits sequences. I'd like act 1...

In "Single All the Way", it looks like Kermit and Piggy will eventually get back together. Since this happened, I had suspected they would be the end of the season, but now I'm thinking that maybe it'd be better if the relationship were like on The Muppet Show, where it was usually one-sided...

When watching this at first, I thought it looked like it was made before the series, and then I saw info that it was made at the same time as Jungle Boogie (and to be fair, I had known that there'd be another Electric Mayhem video). In addition to the Lips puppet looking different from the...
