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

    Wow, I haven't seen any of these recent squirrell things.

    Questions about anything

    Sometime ago I asked about why my memory cards wouldn't work on my laptop. After doing a bit of searching online and being stumped in figuring out what to do, I thought I'd figured it out... I read somewhere that I could reformat the files on the memory card, which I did after putting it in a...

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

    How come Geico tends to have so many different mascots and gimmicks at the same time? That Gecko's been around for too long (I haven't seen any Gecko commercials lately, though... has he finally been retired?), and yet multiple different marketing gimmicks have been done at the same time. Like...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that whenever Sully appears in a scene where several characters sing, he he tends to not sing along with the others, instead just dancing to the tune or whatever, keeping his mouth shut. Examples include when Tito Puente sang "El Timbalo" (and I might be mispelling that), there's a...

    Kinect Sesame Street TV coming soon

    I was looking at the forum part of Muppet Wiki and saw that the game includes an app where you can watch a large variety of clips, including many classic clips. I read that the app even arranges them by season (as well as "classic clips", "celebrities", and so on). And I read that it even...

    Longhorn and Shorthorn - two of the rarest characters ever

    I'd seen that website and contract where Jim gave 51% of the characters to your grandfather, and was confused. At the time I didn't realize it was the rights to the characters, I thought it was for a portion of the Muppets (as in all characters and the company, even though Jim didn't officially...

    TV Tropes

    It's sad if TV Tropes really is wanting to avoid any tropes being named for programs. I can't imagine what kind of title Flanderization could be renamed to.

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

    Yesterday I was looking at some old Mad Magazine parodies (from the book Mad About the Eighties), and there's a few things that struck me as odd. In the Taxi parody "Taxing", at the end Louie tells the cabbies he wants them to give some people free rides, and they object at first (Bobby...

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

    Often I go to stores with automatic self-check-out machines, and it'll be common for some of them to be closed. What's the point of closing an automatic check-out machine? I can see the regular lanes being closed due to not having enough cashiers, but the automatic ones should be open 24/7...

    E-mail from Fred Garbo

    Whenever I read that part of Kevin's book about failed characters, I can't help but feel like he's saying Dexter was a failed character regardless of him being too difficult to perform. Just because he was a difficult character to perform doesn't mean that he wasn't liked by the kids or was a...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    I was thinking the same thing. I had trouble paying attention to the street story, but Cookie Crumby Pictures and Abby's Flying Fairy School were good. I also enjoyed the yoga instructor in those bits with Murray. She sure was hot.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    So it looks like this is going to have the street story where Baby Bear and Chris turn into bees. That one was already included in the Elmo's Rainbow DVD. I guess this will be the first time a street story was released on multiple DVD compilations (the letter of the month club street story with...

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    Well I suppose they couldn't get any clips owned by Disney or Sesame Workshop. It would have been great if they included some Jim footage from Henson's Place and Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting.

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    Well the promo for the book was taken down and replaced with a new promo: The only change I could tell/remember is how a clip from An Evening with Jim Henson and Frank Oz was presented. In the old version, we see Kermit and Cookie Monster, but in this one it's changed so it just shows Jim...

    My Muppet Show App Discussion/Updates

    I don't think anybody has suggested a Swinetrek stage. That or a Koozebane one would be awesome. Though if there is a Koozebane one, I would be disappointed if the only Koozebanian creatures included are created for this game as opposed to ones who were on the show. If there were a Swinetrek...

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

    I wonder if "hump day" would belong in the "Aluminum Christmas Trees" trope at TV Tropes. That trope is for things seen or mentioned in works of fiction that are real but due to when they were made, when they take place, or where they take place, the average person might think it was made up...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I was just thinking about an idea that I think would make a great two-disc collectors set: "Best of Cookie Monster's Spoofs". Disc 1 would be themed around the best of Monsterpiece Theater, with maybe a few bonus Cookie Monster spoofs from the show (like Monster Movie Classics), and disc 2 could...
