Sprout cuts Sesame Street episodes? I thought it was a commercial-free channel, so there's really no reason to cut segments out (well, I know that Elmo's World: Transportation was replaced with a different segment in a season 30 episode_.

Although I already did a detailed breakdown of the timeline, I'm going to redo it, more like a list and with things I didn't think to say at first. The Gold: 1969-1984 Part 1: 1969-1970 There's less characters. Less humans, less recurring Muppets, and less performers. Most weeks are sponsored...

Well, I first saw the clip in the special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting. I was born in 1984, shortly after Mr. Hooper died, so I wasn't too familiar with him. So for about a decade and maybe a half my main exposure to Mr. Hooper was through Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and a few books...

Another thing about the timeline is that from the 1980s until the very late 1990s, it was rare for Jim or Frank's characters to appear in street scenes, the usual exception being in a movie, special, or book. I noticed this even as a kid (one who not only didn't know they were puppets, but who...

So we get two new Guy Smiley and Cookie Monster pairings this season?

I'm pretty sure that Michael Earl performed Forgetful for all of season 12. Michael Earl was let go after the season, it'd make more sense the character would be replaced after instead of before. In fact there is another Forgetful Jones segment that was remade, where Clementine helps...

Right now I have You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon stuck in my head. It's such a great song that I don't exactly hear often (well, until last week). And just last week I saw the music video for the first time. Great video.

Well, I wasn't really sure if Elton was British or American, but thought he lived in America at the time of The Muppet Show (which would have been after he had been famous). Of course for years I've been surprised that certain talents would forget that they were involved with certain...

It's actually called Charlie's Auto Repair? I had no idea. I wonder if this is the same Charlie that Grover works for.

I thought he was based in America regardless.

Last night I dreamt that I was watching The Muppet Revue, and it had short transitions that were clips from the first three movies, in some cases characters were rotoscoped (I think that's the right word) out of clips into other clips. And it wasn't just Muppet movies... One Muppet clip had...

I keep hearing that big cities like New York City are more expensive to live in, but they have large populations. Shouldn't they be cheaper if they have a lot more people living there and paying for things?

If they need an archivist, I'd be willing to take the job for free, in exchange for being allowed to come to the vaults anytime to screen episodes to myself and being given free copies of a few full episodes and rare skits, and maybe to be allowed to provide input on Sesame Street video...

And also, Cheech Marin voiced both a chihuahua and a hyena. And both Cheech and Chong were in Ferngully (with Robin Williams). It is interesting, I know that Robin Williams has been in a number of R-rated movies, but I don't associate him as an R-rated star. I think he's done just as many...

But is RuPaul the personae or the person? I assumed that this special would have the real person, as opposed to the real person on drag.

When Batman was canceled, NBC almost picked up the show. If NBC went through with picking up the show, then it wouldn't have been on the "same Bat channel".

There's one option I have thought of, and I can't remember if I've expressed this idea on the forum or not. I think I thought it up around the time that the online video player debuted, but maybe it'd be good if they did a few digital-only compilations, with no new footage. Maybe make them...

I was about to bring that up as well.

Really? He didn't remember having to fly all the way to England? Would "wanting to fight censorship" (or at least ridiculous censorship) be a legitimate enough reason to be shockingly offensive? Well, we didn't know about this special until we heard that the Muppets were doing a special...

I've noticed that the last few weekends haven't had any new posts. I wonder what's going on there. I could see it being because there weren't any articles sent (besides articles that have to be on certain days of the week, like The Great Muppet Survey and Weekly Muppet Wednesday), but there's a...
