    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten movies that really didn't need sequels: Please note that this list does not reflect my opinions of the first film, nor does it reflect my opinions of the sequels, and in some cases I haven't seen the sequel. Some of these I really liked, some I just liked, if not disliked (but the #1...

    TV Tropes

    I wonder how many tropes need to be listed on a works page before it gets that "alphabetical index" thingy. I've noticed it on a lot of pages. For TV shows, for example, it's on pages for such long-running shows as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park (I think it's there for American Dad and...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I just watched the preview and the video again, and the song does have extra verses, sung by Grover and Cookie Monster.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Yes. The first half is new linking material taking place before the ceremony (as well as various number inserts), then the ceremony street story appears, and then there's a new scene at the very end following the ceremony.

    Nick at Nite Thread

    Something I've been thinking about that I've been trying to remember today: Since the late-1990s, have the majority of shows added to Nick at Nite always been the first show of the evening when they are new? I know there would have at least been some exceptions (like Newhart, which when it...

    I don't remember. I'll have to watch both the video and the preview again.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well I just watched the whole DVD. It's really not bad, except for the disappointing selection of inserts. Most of them appeared in last years "Elmo's Super Numbers" DVD (I wondered if they just took that DVD and copied parts of it), including the only Muppet skit on there (which is the only...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    One thing about the "All Together Now" bit that I forgot to mention: It feels like when an uncool person (especially a lame parent) trying and failing to be cool, except it's not quite cringe-worthy, nor is it a "so bad it's good"/"so unfunny it's hilarious" quality (which is the usual result...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Watching "Count on Elmo" right now. At the beginning, there is a montage of Count clips, including some classics ones, though it doesn't go as far back as the 1970s (I think 1981 is the farthest back it goes). One thing that wasn't announced was that this is packaged with an Elmo the Musical...

    Questions about anything

    Today I was watching a bonus feature on the Dumb and Dumber To DVD, and at some points it showed images from the script, with "first draft" noted under the title. In an age where most writers probably use a computer to write, is it really necessary to note which draft it is? I mean, when you...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    You have a point, but I feel like this is a weak attempt at that compared to what the Muppets did on variety shows. The girl appears to be as square as her parents (maybe they made her that way) and this particular performance of the song is kinda dull for a performance of a Beatles song.

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    So Larry, Darryl, and Darryl usually act as one, or at least the two Darryl's do. It's not often we see one without the other two, most plots involving them involve all three. There are quite a few though that involve Larry a bit more than all three. But just last week I've also noticed that the...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    I had trouble deciding on whether to do this here or start a separate thread, but I'd like to post thoughts on many of the first season segments that have just recently surfaced. Back in 2007 Muppet Wiki added scans of the first season show content to...

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    Well, there are the factors that Sesame Street is most likely (but it can be debatable) the most iconic, longest-running, still-on-the-air "preschool program". So there's a lot of good reasons for Sesame Workshop to put out stuff for its older fans than others. Sesame Workshop did put out a...

    Getting episodes directly from Sesame Workshop

    I don't think that's something that needs the "spoiler" thingy.

    Vintage TV Guide listings

    Wow, seems a little weird that they wouldn't allow patrons to look at the magazines. The only reason I can think of that they would use for research purposes would be to use the TV Guide descriptions for the official descriptions for each program. Not sure if that's what they use for the...

    The Bob Newhart Thread

    Lately I've been thinking about how Bob Newhart will often say that Bob Hartley's psychology license should have been revoked after the first season, due to the fact that many of his patients are uncured. But does anybody know the average amount of time it takes for a psychologist to cure a...

    What has The Count counted multiple times?

    Today I've been thinking: What all has The Count counted in multiple episodes/sketches/specials/books/whatever? The only thing I can think of that he's counted more than once have been sheep, counting sheep in the sketch where he spends the night at Ernie and Bert's apartment (where he seems...

    I know that the Paley Center for Media has old TV Guide issues with descriptions of early episodes.

    Vintage TV Guide listings

    This is cool, but some of the information is obviously wrong (for example, it lists different letters for episode 5, while the entry for the second season premiere lists different number lessons as opposed to 2).
