    Why isn't Muppet Babies on Disney Junior?

    Do we need a Frozen series?

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    I am mixed about that. On one hand, it'd be great to just see the insert and not a second of each segment it's between, but on the other hand, it guarantees that a second wasn't accidentally not included (well, a segment as it aired in that episode, there could be pre-roll/post-roll stuff not in...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    I guess you could do a tape trade with somebody who has them (I know there's at least three fans with copies, not counting whoever the secret source was who supplied the copies in the first place), or hope that one of them uploads the entire episodes.

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Or hope that somebody here that has a copy can answer (and I did get an answer to somebody who had seen it), or that somebody with the tape will put it on YouTube or DailyMotion. Or hope that Disney will rerelease them (but if they won;t release seasons 4 and 5 of TMS, many of the specials...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I just saw a picture of the back cover of Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook, and noticed in the back cover summary, it asks "Will Kermit get Fozzie to paint the scenery?" So is that a big plot point/running gag in that video? Is Fozzie supposed to be painting scenery but instead spends his time looking...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    After getting The Compleat Al for Christmas, I must wonder, what's the deal with Weird Al being so quiet for much of the mockumentary? There's a lot of scenes where he's just silent, letting the others do all the talking and making facial reactions to things. I remember years ago there was a...

    Kermit's W vs B vs. R lectures

    It's been awhile since I last did any "vs" threads, but after recently discovering the first season segment where Kermit talks about the letter R and Cookie Monster breaks it into a P, I thought about how there were (at least) two other segments where Kermit talks about a letter which Cookie...

    Disney Princesses

    It seems like two of Disney's biggest franchises are its princesses and fairies (that would make for a good parody, "Princesses vs. Fairies"). Yet there's also a difference: The princesses "franchise" features characters who all originated in different movies and have rarely (if ever) had any...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Well, the title didn't appear on-screen, and back then (I assume) it wasn't so easy to learn the title of episodes (as there was no internet to look up titles). I wonder if titles could be found in TV listings back then. On a similar note, on I Love Lucy, the censors wouldn't allow the word...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    The Sunday Night Muppets block happened in November and December 1992, and featured (in order from the best I can remember) The Frog Prince, The Muppets Go to the Movies, The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Secrets of the Muppets, The Christmas Toy, A Muppet Family Christmas, and Emmet Otter's...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For a long time, I thought it was odd that the first Super Mario Kart included Donkey Kong Jr. but not Donkey Kong, while the others did feature Donkey Kong but not Donkey Kong Jr. (who seemed to have disappeared when Donkey Kong was revived). But then a year ago I read that the Donkey Kong...

    Fandom Burnout/Reawakening

    Many of my fandoms tend to have "burn-out" periods, or at least a "period spike" where I'm a lot more interested/thinking about it more than usual. Some fandoms that I tend to have periods of really wanting to concentrate on (watcch, listen, play, think about, talk about, look up online) include...

    Questions about anything

    In this case I was simply asking if the Nintendo 64 was "old school", not saying that I wanted "old school" (I have plenty of old school systems) or asking which ones are old school. In my opinion, any game system up to at least the Sega CD is "old school". Not sure how far beyond that (if at...

    Questions about anything

    Is the Nintendo 64 old enough now to be considered an "old school" game system? Ditto with the original PlayStation, Sega Dreamcast, and other systems that came out around that time?

    Out With the Old, In With the New! The New Year's Thread

    I've never been a big fan of New Years. In fact I don't have any memories of knowing about New Years until 1993, having overlooked parts of Christmas songs that mention the New Year. Actually I should have been more aware of New Year in 1992, as that year I saw the New Years Pete special, and...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In an early episode of How I Met Your Mother, one of the kids remarks that Ted and his friends went to bars a lot, and future Ted says that that's what people did back then. For years, I thought that conversation was meant to signify that in the future, people don't care about going to bars as...

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    There's a commercial I'm remembering for a shoe brand, but can't remember what the shoe brand was. The commercial aired around Christmas 1994. A kid/teenage boy is opening a present by the tree, I don't remember any parents being there when he does, and gets shoes. The announcer says, to the...

    No, I haven't. I've watched it on VHS a few times, but usually I watch it on TV (or a recorded-from-TV copy).

    TV Tropes

    Did you actually hear something about this, or did somebody desire such a show, or are you just curious? I myself have wondered if there should be a TV Tropes show. I would make it variety/sketch comedy show, with as much in common with the website as Mad TV has with Mad Magazine. I would set a...
