Another thing that I thought: Beauregard could have had the roles of Mr. Arrow or Squire Trelawny. So Bo wouldn't have been as stern as Sam the Eagle, and maybe Captain Smollet wouldn't hire somebody as clueless as Bo (most of the crew had been hired by Squire Trelawny, but I think Smollett...

I keep reading that Sprocket shows up somewhere in this movie... Where is Sprocket? I watched today and looked closely at scenes where I would expect to see him, but couldn't. Meanwhile, I'd also read about Droop being in this, and spotted him for the first time in this movie today (his head is...

Yeah, those spreads are kinda useless. But then there's a few different kinds of two-page spreads. There are the two-page spreads with big images, mainly from Muppets Most Wanted (and a few from The Muppets), and a little box of text. It's a shame there's no such spreads from the other...

On Pee-Wee's Playhouse, does the red door have a knob? It seems like the door usually only gets pushed (either way), and I don't ever remember seeing a knob there. But the door does get pulled open when the Salesman shows up... How does Pee-Wee pull the door open? And does he ever lock it (with...

It would be great if DK would put out a Sesame Street Character Encyclopedia, though when interviewed on Tough Pigs Craig Shemin speculated that it wouldn't be too likely because DK is an England-based company and Sesame Street isn't as big over there.

One thing I often think about is character/production ownership, and distribution rights over the years. I think about how the credits for the first three Muppet movies don't have a note that the Muppets were owned by The Jim Henson Company. And is it just me or do those movies lack...

Even though I have the movies on VHS and/or DVD, I decided to watch the first five on Netflix these past few days. So are these the Blu-ray copies? If they are, I'm not too impressed by the picture quality. The quality isn't bad, but seems more like DVD quality. I remember watching The Muppet...

In Muppet Treasure Island, during the roll call sequence, most of the characters called on (and not every member of the crew is addressed by name here) have names that are puns, or ironic, or follow a pattern with other names. But then there are some names I don't get, like Smoke Eye Pea(or was...

This should lead to another question: Did Cheech and Chong do drugs in real life (at least during their heyday), or was it just their personaes?

Zippety was a great underdeveloped character. His voice kinda sounds like a Kevin Clash voice (the voice is similar to Leon). Though his personality seems a little similar to Floyd's. It's a shame he's not in The Muppets Character Encyclopedia.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the "What's the deal?" thread, though maybe it belongs in a little bit of both threads. But in Cheech and Chong's Nice Dreams, Chong ends up trading their money in for a bank check, which I think was for the same amount they had (I haven't actually seen the...

The next Sesame DVD after Learning Rocks will be M is for Mystery, which will come out in September and be a release of two full episodes and a bonus street story. Currently, there's no signs of any Sherlock Hemlock segments (I'm hoping that not everything has been announced yet... Though it...

You know, if there is going to be a DVD release celebrating the anniversary, it'd make sense that we don't know yet. Since Warner Home Video got the video rights, new releases have typically only been announced two months in advance. That even applies to collectors releases like Old School Vol...

Although I don't think any "new" classic clips have been added to sesamestreet.org recently, Sesame Workshop has recently added a few classic clips that aren't on sesame street.org, including a couple of first season segments: The one where Cookie Monster interrupts Kermit's lecture on feelings...

I know, but it'd still be cool if they did. I keep thinking, for a 3o-minute version of the show I had in mind, I would open each show with a street scene but rarely include any street stories (though it'd be great to include stuff like the episode where Big Bird ran for president, or the...

One thing I must wonder: Most if not all episodes were among the lowest-rated programs of the weeks they aired, but how well did Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, which aired in the shows time slot a week earlier, do in the ratings during its initial broadcast? I wonder if the ratings for...

For years, I wondered why Saturday Night Live continued after season 5. Since Lorne Michaels, all of the cast, and most of the writers left, they should have just ended it. Season 6 was basically a new show, and should have just had a completely different title. But considering the sixth season...

In Man on the Moon, when Andy Kauffman first announces that he has cancer, his disbelieving manager threatens to sue his writer if he finds out that his writer was the one behind Andy having cancer. While I don't know if that threat really happen, I'd like to know if you can really sue somebody...

I wonder if these 30-minute versions will have special alternate titles (like how Noggin referred to its airings as Sesame Street Unpaved and 123 Sesame Street). It would be great if they could do a few different 30-minute versions of the show from different eras* (in different time slots...

They didn't cut the whole song. Having only seen the movie once (and before I got the soundtrack), I don't remember how short it was in the movie.
