Well, they did need to give Kermit some sort of major role. I don't know if any of The Wizard of Oz characters fits his personality well enough. If it was a comic from Boom I could see them using Link or Beauregard or someone more appropriate.

Another good idea for an anniversary DVD would be to focus more on the history than whether the clips are among the best-known. Like try to get clips of every recurring character and sketch possible. 40 Years of Sunny Days did lack quite a few recurring characters and sketches. Here's a...

I'll have to check, but I thought that Street Gang said that Sesame Workshop sold their ownership so that they could afford to purchase the rights to the Sesame Street Muppets.

I'm planning on making a YouTube video called "The Pointless Awards", and I'm letting the public vote. On my YouTube channel I have already posted several short videos announcing the categories and nominees. Here's one of ten such videos: If you have a YouTube account, I prefer that you put...

Was there ever a time when parents wouldn't let kids see PG movies on their own? Because there's one episode of Full House, where DJ is supposed to be watching her sisters and Steve shows up to take her to the movies (this was a year before they became a regular couple), they had to take...

Do writers prefer to write scripts when they get the ideas, or do they generally prefer to wait until they think there's more of a guarantee that it'll be made? By guarantee, I mean more along the lines that they sent in a pitch (as opposed to writing a full script and sending it to studios)...

I had known that the CTW Archives in Maryland didn't have any existing video from the show. If they did I would have expected more info at Muppet Wiki (which used programming guides and such to make episode pages). Maybe the creator had him sign the contract because he doesn't want to get in...

Of course, many segments tend to be titled differently depending on source and release. Who knows how "official" or definitive a title is supposed to be? For example, the number 3 film with a ball going down a wire-sculpture roller coaster has had many titles, usually "Henson Ball #3" or "No. 3...

I thought it was called "Crack Monster" (which, though it refers to a crack shaped like a monster, sounds like a very wrong title for a children's educational show). Back in 2008 Sesame Workshop's Facebook page allowed for fans to nominate clips for Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days. If...

I like the first season well. I don't think anybody here has seen all 130 episodes from the first season, and I'm sure those who have don't remember every detail of the first season. I wonder how many people who watched in the first season remember stuff that haven't surfaced online or on video...

No, I know that a kid couldn't do it on an etch-a-sketch. And I couldn't do it well on my computer (at least not as well as they do it in the movies). But I'm sure it's simple to those who work in the business and have the money and technology (yeah, I'm thinking it's not as impressive, and then...

Maybe we should think about what Anything Muppet numbers there were in the first season that we haven't seen. Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", I know the first season had a "Before and After" song (which in some way included Buddy and Jim as well), there was a performance of "Brotherhood of...

I wonder if the academy should just dump the "best special effects" award. These days they always just use green screen, visual effects, digital erasing, and computer animation. Special effects seem to be too simple these days (even though I don't know how they work, and I'm sure much of the...

I wonder if the critics know that comedy is harder than drama. And I'm not just talking about comedy films being overlooked for best picture. Comedies rarely appear in any categories, save best animated picture, best animated short, and best short (I never even hear about these live-action...

In the few months I've signed up for the site, I've made edits/contributions but haven't been involved with anything else (like the message boards). What do you have to do to start a page? Because I thought of a page that I haven't seen there, maybe it is and I haven't noticed the page. I'd...

Ever notice how on Film Brain, the host goes by his real name, Mathew Buck, but in the That Guy with the Glasses anniversary specials, he is always called Film Brain?

I'll admit it, I added that Mahna Mahna entry to TV Tropes. I don't know off-hand how many times the song was done back in the 1970s, but early on he was used in other contexts a fair amount of times. He did the String Quartet sketch and Sax and Violence, and while they weren't really major...

Are critics normally the only ones who nominate the films? And on the subject of critics generally disliking comedies or at least stupid comedies (I wonder when the generation of respected film critics who like stupid movies will come) I wonder if the various That Guy with the Glasses critics...

I'd rather there be a release of newer Sesame Street songs that are the versions from the show.

There is an alteration I know of, though I don't know if it was originally broadcast that way or not. But when it was broadcast on Nickelodeon, there's a "Tales from Muppetland" title card and a voice-over saying "Tales from Muppetland presents The Muppet Musicians of Bremen". This is not on the...
