    The Muppet Mindset

    Since Ryan has already seen Muppets Most Wanted, I wonder if Constantine will appear in Weekly Muppet Wednesday before or after the movie comes out. It would be cool to see him included next week, but then again, there could be spoiler-y stuff about him that the article might feel incomplete...

    Feeling Guilty About Liking a Minor Character

    What do you mean by "ship themselves with another character"?

    Questions about anything

    According to Muppet Wiki, the reason Mirror Mask was produced was because Sony wanted to make a sequel to Labyrinth, but Lucasfilm had partial ownership of the film, so Sony instead asked Henson to make a different fantasy film. Last I checked, the Muppet Wiki page didn't cite any sources, but...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I've only read this part once, but it seems the book says that David Lazer talked Jim Henson into doing The Great Muppet Caper before The Dark Crystal, by convincing ITC to agree to fund The Dark Crystal if they did another Muppet movie. This gets me wondering if Jim Henson let Tri-Star...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    The "park segments" take place in a park. Very few of them have aired on the American show, though I've heard that Steve Whitmire and Eric Jacobson do perform them in these segments, with the voices dubbed in later.

    Misheard Song Lyrics

    I know I've mentioned most of these in other threads, but I might as well list them here as well... Munchkinland Song from The Wizard of Oz: Correct lyric: "We represent/the lollipop guild/the lollipop guild..." Misheard lyric: "We represent/the lollipop kids/the lollipop kids..." "We're...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know". I hadn't heard that song until last week, and didn't know that Tracey Ullman was a singer. Then I heard she was a one-hit wonder, and wondered how a one-hit wonder got her own show, let alone two. But then I heard that she had a few more hits.

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    I guess I must have missed that when reading the summary.

    The Muppet Mindset

    Lately, there have been times when I was on the Mindset and saw an article, but then when I looked at the article later that day (usually moments later), it was gone, sometimes replaced with another article, though that previous article did come back a few days later. Last week I noticed this...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Yesterday I read the full summary at wikipedia (I still plan to see the movie, wouldn't be the first time I read the wikipedia summary before seeing the film) and there are a number of interesting things I was surprised by or didn't really think about. I guess TV Tropes will have...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    I used to think that the Kit Kat Bar jingle went, "Gimmie a rake! Gimmie a rake! Rake me off a pizza that Kik Kat Bar!" And yeah, I thought it was "rake me off a pizza that...", meaning to rake off a pizza, as opposed to a way of saying "piece of". And thought "rake me off a pizza that...

    Flanderized Muppets?

    So if Mahna Mahna isn't actually "flanderized" with saying his own name and doing performances and parodies of his song, then would the string quartet and Sax and Violence sketches count more as "early installment weirdness"/"characterization marches on"?

    Movies You Like But Everyone Else Hates.

    Another movie I like but everyone hates is It's Pat. I find it a very funny movie. TV Tropes mentions this in its "so bad it's horrible" page. That page mentions things like the sketches not being that funny in the first place (I haven't seen many of the original SNL sketches, but the ones I've...

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

    Quite a few things about The Wonder Years episode "Walk Out"... During the first Home Room Council meeting, the students all suggest things that would interest most kids. One kid suggests the walk-out, to protest the war, and none of the other students are interested in the walk out until he...

    Where's the love for Rocky and Bullwinkle?

    Well, Mr. Peabody and Sherman has been released. Anybody here see it? Was it good (well, I've read that it's gotten good reviews)?

    The "You know what?" thread

    The other day, I saw the episode of Family Guy with the cut-away where Cookie Monster is in rehab. The orderlies find cookies nearby, asking Cookie Monster who they got there, which Cookie Monster unconvincingly denies knowing how they got there. It's obvious that Cookie Monster was...

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    With all the clips that have surfaced and after reading the junior novel, it seems this movie will have just as many similarities to The Muppets Take Manhattan as it does The Great Muppet Caper. I'd like to tally up all the similarities I know of.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets Character Encyclopedia

    Well, the book does have the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. And it also has the Cracthet Children, though aside from Tiny Tim are the other kids named in the original book? This book mentions what happened to a number of characters who haven't been seen in a long time...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Yeah, Paramount even released stuff like The Big Stuffed Dog and some of the anniversary specials. The only "regular" special Paramount didn't release was You're in the Superbowl Charlie Brown (are the distribution rights owned by a different company?). Paramount also didn't release the 50th...
