So did he sound the same as he did in the Barnyard Boogie number, or did he sound different?

I'd say that Nickelodeon aired more than just a handful of reruns of existing animated shows. There was also The Alvin Show, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Danger Mouse, Garfield and Friends, Bullwinkle, Under Dog, and there was a cartoon package called Cartoon Kablooey, which I believe showed old UPA...

One image for the next episode has Lips dressed similar to Zoot, wearing shades and the same hat. It makes me wonder if that's addressed in the episode (whether it has to do with the plot or scene.... with one of the plots for the next episode being everyone being annoyed with Bobo selling...

Been watching the show on ABC.com quite a bit, but today for the first time, I paused it to see something... And when paused, ABC.com replaces the image with a promotional shot. How dare they? Not sure if Hulu allows for pausing to see still images. Something that took me awhile to notice...

In the past few (maybe a lot more than I think) years, there's been quite a few Mario toy collections. And I've noticed that a number of them have included Lakitu. And yet it seems like there haven't been any toys of Spinies. What gives? The Spinies should be as popular as Lakitu (considering...

When I think of the fact that the break-up flashback appears as paparazzi footage, I keep thinking that this shows format would be a great opportunity to bring back Fleet Scribbler. He could be the one responsible for paparazzi footage that appears in ways that would otherwise be hard for the...

I didn't feel that way. I wasn't expecting them all to get a lot of screen time. I don't expect every episode to have a "main" guest star, either. Maybe if the show showed more of the talk show than backstage/personal lives stuff. That was a gag in the pilot as well, she couldn't remember...

And there was an interview where he said that he didn't want to make a PG-rated Muppet film. I wonder if he would feel the same way if he were alive when the last two movies were made.

You've said a few times that your uploads that when you restored things with existing clips that you often replaced clips with better copies of the same clips from other sources. Does this also apply to when there are transitions to clips? Do you leave in those seconds or are you actually able...

The movie didn't have any scenes inside a Doc Hopper restaurant. There was the scene where one was under construction, and we saw a commercial, but that's all we saw of his actual restaurants. The restaurants were the El Sleazo Cafe (where Fozzie made a "drinks on the house" gag) The Terrace...

I'm confused. So you think there weren't enough familiar things, yet would have preferred they have new characters and only a few old characters? The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight both had a lot more new characters than old characters, and around here that seems to be one of the biggest...

I didn't get to see the first episode until it came to ABC.Com and Hulu (watched it on both sites), and it was great. There's a few things I don't know what to make of, though: The fact that the crew is a mix of Muppets and humans. This is the first time that a Muppet show had humans working...

For years, I figured any edits Nickelodeon made to Secrets of the Muppets carried over into broadcasts on other channels (with Odyssey being the only other one), it didn't occur to me that the Nick version wouldn't be the master version used (though Henson has made new master tapes from edited...

There's an SNL sketch in a home video compilation spotlighting game show sketches that is cut off before it ends. Don't know why, but before the sketch is over, it suddenly cuts to another sketch. The sketch is titled "Dork, Geek, or Spaz", and has contestants guessing whether panelists...

"Eye in the Sky" by The Alan Parsons Project. Listening to it, I feel like it sounds similar to a number of other great songs, like the theme from Greatest American Hero and "Somebody's Baby".

Disney owns the Muppets (and The Muppet Show), Henson owns Henson's Place. Anyway, I feel like this documentary was sort of like a hybrid between the great Word of Jim Henson and the rushed CNN People Profiles special (to be fair, the CNN one is the only Jim Henson documentary that did not...

After watching some of the sneek peeks, I feel like it'd be great if every cold open took place during a meeting (or, if there's no cold open, then start with the Muppets having a meeting).

In the end credits, it lists pretty much every production owned by Disney that gets a clip included, but it incorrectly lists Henson's Place among them. For years, I thought that credits for clips were to acknowledge the copyright owners/distributors, then I wondered if they were just...

The show did have multiple celebrities. Usually only one was announced as a guest star (the only exception was the Coolio and Don Rickles one, and I've often questioned that), but very few episodes only had one celebrity (I was shocked when I first saw another human in an episode). Some episodes...

Been thinking a little bit about Doug. It seems like most of the Nicktoons had plenty of adult appeal. Some shows, like Ren and Stimpy and Rocko, were a bit more extreme when it comes to adult humor, while others had fairly subtle jokes or plotlines that would be a little more interesting to...
