There's something I'd like to add to the Common Knowledge page, but I don't know if the mistake is common enough (though it doesn't say how common the common knowledge has to be). But I've seen a number of things (and I can't remember where I've read it) that incorrectly say that in the...

What's the deal with the fourth of july being called the fourth of july? No other holiday is named after it's date.

Maybe the season 36 episode where Big Bird and Alan make birdseed cookies? Or perhaps the recent episode where Cookie Monster is once again accused of giving up cookies (though that one's really not about cookies)? I don't doubt it can be a full two-hour video with just inserts and/or street...

Not sure if anybody was wondering, but I recently asked on the Shout Factory facebook page if the really early Nick shows like Pinwheel are included in the Nickelodeon license, and they're not. I wonder if Nickelodeon owns the rights to those early shows.

It's cool that they referenced the internet videos in the script. Though I don't like that they were called "internet movies". They aren't movies, just short skits/music videos of the Muppets singing. So at least in that draft they acknowledged that the Muppets have done stuff in the last...

There's a lot of movies I hate that I haven't even seen. Mainly stuff I had no initial interest in seeing that then became insanely popular.

Of course I don't. And if other people don't want real, then it's a shame they don't cancel all those reality shows. Some have mentioned modern shows that aren't "real", and I hadn't really noticed that about The Big Bang Theory or 2 Broke Girls. Actually, "real" can be good if it's...

I've read much of the script, haven't read the whole thing but have skimmed through it, and there are a lot of great things in this. Pepe gets more lines, Rizzo gets a line, I like many of the triple-cut-aways and flashbacks. I kinda prefer the way this script got the Muppets back together, as a...

I've read a few places recently that comedy is harder to pull off than drama, because apparently a bad drama is more tolerable than a bad comedy. But if that's the case then why do so few comedies get Oscar nominations each year? I've especially read about this at TV Tropes. The "Tom Hanks...

I've been watching the newest Nickelodeon TMNT series these last few weeks and it is great. Not as good as the original, but I doubt I can get myself to ever say any Turtles show is better than the original. But it seems to be like a darker CGI version of the original series. I only watched the...

Just recently I've had an observation on Biff and Sully. While they are construction workers and have the hard hats to prove it, it seems like they rarely do any construction work on the show. It seems a lot of their work can just as easily be done by any handyman, not necessarily a construction...

Which makes the digital-only albums pointless, since only a handful of previously-unreleased songs are included in any of those. And even with Songs from the Street having so many previously-unreleased tracks, it doesn't have any previously-unreleased Muppet-only tracks. Just several...

Well today I went to Target and saw the recent two-video releases. I didn't buy them, but looked at the back covers, and the back images are all new (or maybe new arrangements of stock photos) and are limited to a few characters: Big Bird, Elmo, Telly, Cookie Monster, Rosita, and I think Oscar...

It's interesting how that song is associated with Little Jerry and the Monotones, even though the lead singer and one of the back-up singers are obivously different characters (though it includes members resembling Big Jeffy and the orange member). It was incorrectly listed as being sung by the...

Found another clip that's longer on the website than it previously was: http://www.sesamestreet.org/play#media/video_08399829-dc15-4f3c-a263-5d4b31c1484c

I would have preferred Danny DeVito to have played Boris, and he also has basically the same hair line (in addition to being short and often playing mean, greedy characters), but it's still good. Alexander made a better Boris than Dave Thomas, who played Boris in the obscure Boris and Natasha...

I liked the show Baby Bob, but it seems nobody else did. Well, my parents liked it as well, and I think my brother liked it, but I barely knew anyone else who even saw or was aware of it (and I asked my classmates... In fact around this time there were quite a few shows I watched that didn't...

I found a great blog about Doug. I think it covers every episode of both the Nickelodeon and Disney versions (but I haven't read every entry yet). But it does have some mild profanity, though. http://dougfunniesjournal.blogspot.com/

Is there something funny about Bermuda Shorts? There have been times when I've seen people laugh at the mention of the term, and yet I don't really get what's so funny about bermuda shorts. I first heard of the term after being familiar with the fact that Weird Al Yankovic's drummer goes by...

Is the term "slap on the wrist" as a punishment an expression or does it actually mean getting slapped on the wrist? I've seen programs where it was mentioned as a punishment for people who did unlawful things, and usually it was the only punishment (though there's a Rocky and Bullwinkle...
