    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official Teaser Trailer On-line

    At first I thought that shot of Constantine in the "O" was reused from The Muppets, but then noticed the "O" there was in "Show" instead of "Telethon". It makes me wonder if they'll re-do the opening again... And I actually hope they don't, unless they add something really significant to it...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    It makes me wonder if we'll be seeing more characters this year who haven't been seen in awhile. And this isn't even the anniversary season (you don't need an anniversary to bring back long-unseen characters, but still...).

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    I know. Though I a surprised they didn't make new sounding out segments (or even reair older ones) in season 38 when the main curriculum goal was reading. Though it seems they keep being used and then not. I've read that David Rudman took over Richard's half of the character as soon as he...

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    Reminds me of the time I found that some of the Land Before Time sequels were released together on DVD and the sequels included were not in order. Like one DVD that has the two movies with Chopper (II and V), though that makes a little sense since it was promoted as a Chopper release. Don't know...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    I just watched some of those clips that have been uploaded, and what great clips I've seen so far. Is that Frank Oz as the orange gold biker in Sons of Poetry? At times he sounds a bit like Bert, but at times he also sounds gruffer. Or maybe it's Eric Jacobson in an original role. And I lead...

    Pre-Order "The Muppet Movie" coming to Blu-ray August 13, 2013

    Is it wrong for me to think it'd odd that they saved various outtakes but not deleted scenes from the movie (well, at least it has the extended Doc Hopper commercial, something I hadn't been aware of until it was announced)?

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    It would be interesting to see if this release includes The Making of Muppet Treasure Island special that aired on The Disney Channel in 1996. I'm surprised Disney opted for a different behind-the-scenes feature for the original DVD release. Of course that's also depending on if Disney wants to...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    There's that as well, but since segments were repeated in multiple episodes, it'd make more sense to cut segments that show up in other episodes that the channel was airing. And if there's a need to edit something for content, then that helps in choosing what to cut.

    The Great Muppet Caper and Muppet Treasure Island coming to Blu-ray December 10

    I don't think that cover is so bad.... For a double-feature release. I would have expected one of these to come out closer to the release of Muppets Most Wanted. I think I saw an Amazon listing that also had blu-ray listings for both movies separately.

    Henson Biography available for pre-order

    The Muppet Mindset posted a review yesterday. It was said that it gives great details about all of Jim's productions, which gets me excited. But I wonder if that means it talks in great detail about productions that don't get much discussion in biogrpahies, interviews, documentaries, and such...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    I haven't heard that song, either. I also hadn't heard "Call Me Maybe" before the "Share It Maybe" parody. And many of the shows parodies from the last few years are parodies of shows I hadn't heard of before that. After learning a bit more about this season, I'm a bit excited. It's weird...

    Kathy Mullen Interview

    In the interview Kathy Mullen said that Jim was hiring new female performers when preparing for The Dark Crystal. That makes me wonder if he had intended on having the performers voice the characters at one point.

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    It's interesting what stuff Sesame Workshop took off the show years ago and, in recent years, has released to the public again, whether in Noggin reruns, iTunes episodes, sesamestreet.org, or DVD releases. Though in the case of full episode releases, it seems like Sesame Workshop has only...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official Teaser Trailer On-line

    You know, when I hear songs from before 1981, I tend to think they'd be good on The Muppet Show. And when I hear songs from the 1980s, I tend to think they'd have been good on The Jim Henson Hour. But hearing 1990s songs doesn't give me that effect regarding Muppets Tonight. You could also say...

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

    I was watching A Goofy Movie last night, and it makes me wonder, was Bobby on eof Max's best friends up to that time, or just somebody he knew from school who helped him become cool with the whole school? I know PJ is Max's best friend, but the advertisements play up Bobby as his best friend...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official Teaser Trailer On-line

    There's been behind-the-scenes photos of what looked like Steve performing Constantine, and I wondered whether that was Constantine or Kermit posing as Constantine. But now that we know he has a smaller-pointed collar and slightly different pupils, we know that it is Kermit posing. Too bad...

    Kathy Mullen Interview

    This has been a great interview so far. I think this is the first time Kathy Mullen did a big interview, especially for a Muppet fan site, so there's a lot I didn't know. I'm hoping that someday Tough Pigs or The Muppet Mindset (or maybe even Muppet Central) can score an interview with Camille...

    Video: Muppets Most Wanted Official Teaser Trailer On-line

    Looks like a great trailer. So far Rizzo and Pepe are the only characters from that first promotional image to be spotted.

    Who owns the rights to what?

    One thing I wonder, since these documents were sold online, I wonder if Disney has multiple copies. Or if Disney scanned the info on a computer file. It'd be a shame if somebody at Disney just carelessly sold all legal documents on what they have and what Henson still has. I've read some...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Regarding them not being allowed to release this, I wonder if it's just to fans or commercially altogether. Maybe the animator is one of those who is hard to negotiate with (do we know what other animated inserts he's done for the show?). I don't know what the deal was with that one fan who...
