Does anybody happen to know why the master tapes used for the Garfield and Friends DVD sets were the non-American copies? Were those master tapes in better condition/quality, or were those just more uncut than the American ones, or even no reason at all? Or did they do that as an excuse to avoid...

Looking at the production order list, I feel it does make a little bit of sense that Fitness was produced before Oceans, due to the Merlin sketches in them. In Fitness, the patient is "a guy with a sword stuck in his head", in Oceans, it's "a guy with a fish stuck through his head". I feel...

For the last few days I've heard a song called Satisfied by Richard Marx on the radio, and to me the music for that sounds very similar to The Jim Henson Hour theme song. It's probably a coincidence, since both came out in 1989, but it is interesting.

I didn't know he was Mr. Peabody. I thought he was one of the historical figures in this.

Surprised to see that Brewster is (probably) in the movie. Of course I was also surprised to see him in the Character Encyclopedia (could his inclusion be because he's in this, even though the book didn't mention his involvement or picture any of his scenes from the movie?). Miss Poogy's...

The junior novel of The Muppets avoided mentioning the names of any celebrity who had a part big enough to be mentioned in the book (referring to Jack Black merely as "a famous person"), but this book actually does mention one of the celebrities by name (Salma Hayek). Of course the book doesn't...

What makes a work a "cult" hit or classic or whatever? I've thought about this for a long time. Recently I looked at a TV Tropes page for cult shows and movies and such and mentioned on the TV Tropes thread how I was surprised to see that Muppets and Sesame Street weren't included, and people...

I said that it was an obscure character who didn't get any dialogue in the last film. While Robin was barely in the movie and didn't get any dialogue, I don't consider him an obscure character. Though he rarely has a major role in the movies. Seems he must be the most major and well-known...

Well, I just finished reading the book. No, I don't plan on posting spoilers (unless you ask, and I'll send it as a private message). Some things from the trailer make more sense. There's some scenes that came before scenes I would have expected to come later. And something that I feel kinda...

Wow, there's a Bunsen-packaged Go-Gurt but not a Beaker one?

Really, 12 dollars? I recall the VHS tapes costing 10 dollars (okay, $9.99... maybe it was 12 when adding tax, but I don't remember paying 12 dollars for a Sesame Street VHS). But in the VHS/pre-internet era, it was harder to know what was on a video without either actually watching it or...

Today I bought a copy of the junior novel, and I still haven't read it. I just glanced through a few pages. There's a few things that are different from what I expected based on the commercials. And there's an obscure character who gets a line who didn't have any dialogue in the previous movie...

So to swallow your pride means to do something you feel is below your standards. But how is that "swallowing your pride"? Shouldn't swallowing our pride make you more proud and less humble? Shouldn't it be called something like "spitting out your pride"?

Well, I found a copy today, and it's a release of Elmopalooza and Elmo's World: Singing, Drawing, and More! That doesn't sound too bad. At least at Wal-Mart, it costs around $4.99, a deal considering those others wold cost at least ten dollars separately (assuming they are still in print on...

Thinking about "Elmo and Friends", whatever that is, I wonder if it could be like "Best of Friends", only with more Elmo. I could see it having about two Elmo segments in a row, then a section of skits on different characters, including one appearance with Elmo if possible. For example, it could...

Yeah I find it odd that the most frequent recurring sketch is one that barely has any Muppets (could it have been featured more because it had live actors who otherwise wouldn't be working on the show?). I often wonder why each episode of MuppeTelevision and the various specials only had a...

I haven't done any "vs" threads in quite awhile, so I thought it be fun to do this thread, asking which is better: The Muppets on Puppets or The Secrets of the Muppets? Both are specials hosted by Jim Henson explaining how his characters work, with the Muppets being presented as real even...

It's interesting how in the introduction Kermit asks all the monsters who aren't included not to eat him for it, as it seems like it has almost every Muppet monster, at least of those introduced on The Muppet Show (and then some before, like Splurge, who was retired before the show began)...

Yesterday, I was watching an episode of Family Guy, which had a scene where Stewie was reading the first Garfield book, Garfield at Large, and he mentions that Garfield hates Nermal, as if that's part of the book. But Nermal doesn't appear in Garfield at Large. In fact, his first appearance...

Interestingly, the cover image looks different from the other Sesame Street releases from Warner Bros. (it looks more like a Sony Wonder cover). I wonder if Warner is changing its style for Sesame covers. And in the last two years, most of the DVD covers noted "Over 2 hours of fun!" (in some...
