Wouldn't it be great if the book told readers to learn more at Muppet Wiki? Like in a credits or acknowledgements section, or a "recommended reading" section? It had been confirmed awhile ago that this book wouldn't have any behind-the-scenes info (just stuff mentioned on-screen and made-up...

The soundtrack listing was released sooner than yesterday? Where was I when it was leaked? I had no idea.

Looking at these two-page spreads, it looks like Flash won't be included. What a shame. Also looks like Calico (the monocle-wearing pirate from Muppet Treasure Island) won't be in this. I wonder if other Koozebanian's will be included. I would have thought they'd all be included under an...

Last night I dreamt I was watching some family home movies from before I was born, and in going through old recordings found that my family just happened to have recorded a Sesame Street episode from season ten. Among the segments in my dream: A segment based on My Mother the Car, but with...

So with the Veterinarian's Hospital and Gonzo's Great Stunts pages, it looks like this book will have more than just character pages.

Really? I thought that at least some of his performances in recent years weren't known about in advance. I don't remember hearing about him performing in seasons 42 or 43 in advance. After some of his season 43 appearances aired I heard that he had been on the set via one of the other performers...

I just realised: This book is coming out on February 7, and that's a friday this year. Is it normal for books to come out on Friday's? I was thinking they were released earlier in the week.

"When You Were Mine" by Cyndi Lauper:

I don't think any of the recurring segments were used much (not sure whether having only 22 episodes is a good enough excuse). The best recurring segments weren't used enough and, thankfully, the worst ones weren't used too much. I wonder if the show would have succeeded if it was only new...

I thought it was said in that chapter that CBS was interested in airing it during the 7PM hour, but then the FCC made rules that each individual station air local or syndicated programming during that hour, and apparently CBS didn't want to air the show at a later hour.

The Count has often appeared in street scenes over the years as well as inserts. And Cookie Monster is not just limited to inserts. Back in the 1970s it was common for Frank Oz to perform in street scenes, and ever since David Rudman took on the role of Cookie Monster he's been in a lot of...

Right now, off-hand, when it comes to TV shows I've actually watched, the only shows I can think of are animated (I don't think I've actually posted in that other thread): Spongebob Squarepants (I liked it at first, then got bored within a few episodes) and Ed, Edd 'n Eddy (can't remember if I...

Floyd and Janice play their instruments left handed because their performers use their right hands to perform the bodies. But I think there's merchandise and photos that show them right-handed... For example the Floyd action figure is sculpted to play the bass right-handed. Though I was...

Something has just occurred to me regarding the fact that the pilot was broadcast later yet was a much stronger episode than the first two broadcast ones. I had been wondering why they had that one broadcast later, but then I was reading in Jim Henson: The Biography that Henson did some...

I wonder if The Amazing Mumford has been "flanderized". In his earliest sketches, he seems to be good at making magic the way it's intended, with his only trouble being a sketch where he tries to make a rabbit come out of his hat (accidentally turning Grover into a rabbit without realizing). But...

I wonder how some characters might be listed. Like there's one monster who's been referred to by a number of different names, including Pokey. But I recently read on Muppet Wiki that that puppet has a tag labeled "Anthony", a name that I don't think has been used. And I wonder if...

I wonder why puppeteers would need dressing rooms. It's not like the home audience is going to see how they are dressed. Well, unless they were performing full-body characters. I would think maybe there'd be a special room for the performers to relax if needed, but a dressing room would be just...

Today I've had "In My Life" (Judy Collins' version) and "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted" in my head.

It's interesting when I read about Jon Stone not liking Caroll Spinney. In Spinney's autobiography, it was written like Spinney could never figure out why he didn't like him. But then in Street Gang, it says that Stone thought Spinney was unprofessional, preferring to not read his scripts until...

When Warner Bros. sold the rights to its black and white shorts in 1955, the classic WB openings and closings had to be replaced until Warner got the rights back (and they also had to remove instances where the logo appears in the cartoons itself, the only ones I know of being in Porky in...
