I don't know how I answered my own question. Particularly the part about the pre-video era when people didn't know that one day their works would be purchased. But I wonder, since when television began residuals were only for the first five broadcasts, I wonder if that also applied to song...

And I wonder why music rights should be cleared again. I would have thought that, whether the concept of home video was heard of or not, if the music was cleared in the first place, it should remain for all releases in whatever country. I know that music rights are what's keeping The Wonder...

The Muppet Show and Sesame Street are both live-action and DVDs of those had songs edited. Additionally, the SCTV DVDs had song edits and music replacements. Of course for that show, for the original broadcasts they never even bothered to get music rights cleared in the first place. And...

Just saw that. And there are some surprises there. I'll try not to spoil much information that I found there. Surprised to see a Sam and Friends section. Does this mean that Disney does own the Sam and Friends characters? Is there a copyright acknowledgement that they belong to Henson (Before...

So what kind of non-character pages are there? I know there's Veterinarian's Hospital and Gonzo's Great Acts, and I figure if it has Vets Hospital it must have a Pigs in Space page. So if Muppets Most Wanted is given a lot of focus for the characters who appear in that movie, does the movie...

I kinda feel the same way about "Hey, it's that voice!" and "Hey, it's that guy!" Anybody who's acted in multiple roles could easily get that. And a lot of voice actors do use a lot of the same voices for many roles. It seems "Hey, it's that guy!" should be more appropriate for actors who...

Does it reveal whether Constantine is the only new Muppet character in Muppets Most Wanted? Does Miss Poogy get a page, is she lumped in a "Moopets" page, does each member of the Moopets get their own page, or are none of the Moopets included at all? I learned yesterday that it doesn't have...

The book probably just lists Kermit's first appearance as Sam and Friends, but wouldn't it be funny if the book actually listed an episode number for Kermit's first appearance? I doubt the archives would have that kind of information, and we wouldn't know anything about the episode by number (I...

Some tropes seem to be very similar to each other (I guess similar to how this forum has threads that are similar, like the "Questions About Anything" and "You ever notice... and what's the deal?" threads... and in a way the "You know what" thread is kinda similar to the "You ever notice..."...

Most shows have baby characters played by twins, due to child labor laws. But the baby usually isn't the main character, and there's not much for it to do. Can;t they just do a few important scenes with one baby? Don't know if that makes a difference on live-audience shows. Or do child labor...

Muppet Wiki now lists the production order for the show (based on personal correspondence with The Jim Henson Company): Videotape/The True Bride Food/The Three Ravens Garbage/Sapsorrow Dog City First Show/Miss Piggy's Hollywood Outer Space/The Heartless Giant Fitness/Song of the Cloud Forest...

Well, it's supposed to be out today. Does anybody have a copy yet? I probably won't be able to find a copy for a few weeks (I know, I should have ordered), but it feels like Christmas morning, just waiting to know what all's in the book and how good/bad/surprising/disappointing it is.

Yeah, those document pages list those productions among the Muppet Film and TV Library that Disney got the rights to (as well as Muppet Meeting Films, Little Muppet Monsters, and Muppet Time, but I don't expect any characters created for those to be included). Also, henson.com has a Muppets...

Actually, Disney does own the rights to Hey Cinderella, The Frog Prince, The muppet Musicians of Bremen, Tale of the Bunny Picnic, and Mr. Willoby's Christmas Tree.

It's also interesting how when talking about Saturday Night Live, Frank oz speculated the problem with the sketches was Vash's first performer, throwing the timing off from the other performers. Rhonda Hansen only performed Vash in the first sketch, and she wasn't really in that much of the...

Looking at these sample pages, it looks like these might not include characters who were more-or-less exclusive to the Tales from Muppetland specials. Looking at the two-page spread with Cactus Quartet and Camilla, it's obvious the book won't include Caleb Siles. I'd be surprised if the other...

Well the Muppets don't have canon, so it probably doesn't matter. But it would be interesting if any new facts come up in future projects (I don't really expect any new info on the long-time main characters like Kermit or Miss Piggy, they already have plenty of existing info that can be included).

It says that the reason Kermit only had a small part in Sex and Violence is because Jim Henson was considering not performing on the show, or not performing often, but then he performed Nigel in that special, in addition to many other characters. I don't quite understand why he would perform the...

When the Muppets appeared on Saturday Night Live, why did the announcer have to list the performers? Couldn't the performers names just be listed in the end credits, as opposed to announced? In fact why doesn't Saturday Night Live (and most variety/talk shows) list guests in the end credits? It...

Well, the book comes out in just a few days. I hope that a review comes out before the book is released. Don't know if Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset or even Muppet Central will get (or has gotten) an early copy to review, but that would be nice (and I expect both sites to give a great review...
