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

    In It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, why does Linus put his letter to the Great Pumpkin in the public mailbox (is there a term for that kind of mailbox?) that he can't reach without using his blanket? They do that scene with Lucy thinking Linus can't reach it and then he uses his blanket...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    I've been thinking about how I would do the Ultimate Guide if they do end up making a Muppet guide: Chapter 1 - Meet the Muppets (sections on Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem - maybe give Animal his own page in addition, Rowlf, Scooter, Bunsen and Beaker...

    What We'd Like to See for Old School Vol. 4

    If there is a volume 4 representing 1984-1989, I wonder if Elmo would be limited to the episodes he appears in. Though I would expect at least one bonus clip with Elmo (I would prefer one where he's performed by Richard Hunt). Heck, I'd expect Elmo to be the character interviewed on the last...

    60 Years of Muppets...

    When Craig Shemin was interviewed for DK, he was saying that they (and by "they" I can't remember if he meant DK, Disney, himself, or someone else) wanted to do an "Ultimate Guide" for the Muppets if The Muppets Character Encyclopedia did well. That could make a good release for the 60th...

    Disney gets sued by a toy company over Lotso Huggin' Bear

    One thing I've thought about: How much knowledge does the average person have on specific Bear in the Big Blue Merchandise? Has any Bear merchandise had the same level of fame as Tickle Me Elmo? Besides Tickle Me Elmo, and possibly it's many knock-offs, I'd say casual Sesame Street fans are...

    The Jim Henson Hour Appreciation Thread

    I've read some toughpigs posts that point out the long, awkward pauses Louie Anderson does when he's on the monitors interacting with the Muppets, and it got me thinking... The first two guests are really the only guests to do a lot of interacting via monitors (though Ted Danson less than...

    Questions about anything

    In the Warner Bros. short Rabbit Fire, Elmer Fudd says that he only hunts for the sport of it. So assuming there are plenty of people in real life who hunt for the sport of it (I.E., they're not hunting for food, or to profit off animal parts, or to hang their heads on walls... or would the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    So in the Peanuts shorts, Snoopy is the leader of the Beagle Scouts, and yet he's the only beagle in the beagle scouts. Everyone else is a bird.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    If that "Ultimate Guide" ends up getting made, I doubt it would have many character sections, but I could see it having bigger sections on the main characters, including behind-the-scenes stuff.

    I think that's Phyllis George.

    Oops, wrong video. I should have stayed on the page after replying to make sure it was the right link so I could have edited... But here's the right link... I hope....

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    The Jacques Roach page does have an image from Muppet Treasure Island. It's interesting that he's the only pirate who wasn't featured in the "roll call" sequence to get a page (yeah, what's up with that? There's a lot more crew members than the ones mentioned by name during roll call, some with...

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

    Okay, here's a round of "ever notice...?" (and some that might be more appropriate for the questions thread) The poster and video cover for The Breakfast Club says that they only met once, while the film makes it ambiguous whether they remained friends after that one saturday, but at the end...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    In the interview I thought Craig Shemin said that they didn't want to do character pages comprised only by screenshots if they didn't have to, but then I've been rereading, and he says they didn't want to include screenshots unless they had to (not just if that's all they could do). But almost...

    Fan Service Before 2001

    There's the fact that Julie Andrew's appearance was mentioned a few times. Outside of the "Guest Star Song" in the Phyllis George episode, it seems she was the only guest star who was mentioned as a previous guest on the show (and twice at that... three times if you count the Guest Star Song)...

    Fozzie's Mattress Sales

    The gangsters made it to their hide-out, dragging Fozzie down there. "Oh, what are you going to do to me?", asked a worried Fozzie. "You had plenty of time to ask that on the ride here", said Eddie. They got into the building... And saw that Fozzie's boss and the other Muppets had...

    Actually that line came from the Dom DeLuise episode.

    Fozzie's Mattress Sales

    Chapter 6 The car chase went on... without the cars being back-to-back. In the Muppets car, the cast was singing "No Room for Boring", while the boss was trying to give directions. "Hey! I can't give directions with all that singing!", said the boss. "Yes, can everybody quiet...

    Fozzie's Mattress Sales

    Chapter 5 The Newsman came on-stage to give a news report. "Here is a Muppet News Flash! Mattress Land has been selling a lot more mattresses lately than normal. And it is possibly all due to Fozzie Bear! So come on down to Mattress Land, and buy a mattress from Fozzie. And due to the...
