    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    It seems Nickelodeon didn't edit violent gags as often as other channels (and I think Cartoon Network was just as lenient about the violence), though there were some violent gags that were cut on the channel. Nickelodeon edited Muppet Show episodes because of the UK spots. Most of the UK...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    Lately I've wondered what it'd be like if there was a collection similar to the structure of the Looney Tunes Platinum Collections. I don't own any of those, but the discs structure seems to be: One disc of main characters, another disc of various one-shots and complete shorts of characters with...

    More scandal rocking Sesame Street: Roscoe Orman leaves ex

    I don't really want to talk about this too much, but I wonder why an actor leaving his ex would be considered a "scandal". Also, I think one of the reports had the ex saying that Roscoe lives a "double life". I think all actors live "double lives", the life of their characters and the life away...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Maybe it's both. Like, maybe they didn't plan on a race, but then when an Indian actress auditioned they chose to hire her.

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night, I dreamt that my parents just happened to have a pre-final edit VHS copy of The Muppet Movie. Most of the editing was there, but a lot of the finished editing was not. And they arranged to have it screened at a local theater, which had a large audience (and they somehow got a VHS...

    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    No, Louise is the chicken who assists Rowlf in the video, though Rufus appears at the end to request Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Both Muppet Moments and Meet the Muppets edit the ending of "I Go to Rio", where Kermit comes on-stage to see what Statler and Waldorf (and the audience) thought of...

    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    Children's Songs and Stories and Country Music are currently on YouTube. Those and The Muppet Revue are currently the only ones on YouTube (The Kermit and Piggy Story and Muppet Weird Stuff have both been on YouTube in the past). In Country Music, Richard Hunt plays that "I've got a...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Having seen quite a few of the inside covers lately, I've noticed that they usually have rows of two guest star images. I'd like to see the inside cover for one that has an odd number of guest stars. I also wonder if the images are taken from the show or if they are different head shot images of...

    TV Tropes

    I wonder if Laurie from That '70s Show would fit under the trope "Karma Houdini". While there are some rare instances where she gets punished or what she deserves (like when Red got mad when he found out she was living with a man, getting grounded when Eric and Hyde got grounded for drugs...

    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    Ever since I was a kid renting some of these videos Rowlf's Rhapsodies was the one I most wanted to see, and it's currently one of only three I haven't seen. This is the first I heard about a bomb running gag. I've read that Miss Piggy made an appearance in linking footage. What is her scene...

    Maybe they already checked out.

    If you were to recast classic sitcoms with Muppets....

    Now that I think about it, Sam the Eagle might be better as Charles Winchester. Both are quite cultural and don't get along with the others well. Sam could also make a good Frank Burns, if not for Frank's affairs with Hot Lips.

    Muppets who missed their chance

    Bubba has appeared in a few productions since, and was even referred to by name in The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Though he wasn't a main character in any of those.

    While watching Muppet Movies...

    I've wondered the same thing. I wonder if it would have been a lot better and funnier if all the extra characters were causing havoc at the restaurant as well. But maybe they would have had more fun crusing the streets of london at night time. That does sound like it would have been more fun.

    Sesame Street Parody skits

    As far as I know, the only time Sesame Workshop got in trouble for a parody was when the owners of the Beatles music sued because of Letter B. But then Michael Jackson bought the rights to the song and dropped the charges. But since it was a parody, I wonder if Sesame Workshop would have won the...

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

    I guess that regardless of whether Edna Garret deserved a spin-off series or not, The Facts of Life is a great show, and I feel it is a lot better than Diff'rent Strokes. I haven't watched either show in a long time and don't recall seeing many early Diff'rent Strokes episodes with Edna, so I...

    Clip edits/alterations in the Playhouse compilation videos

    The two It's the Muppets videos (and The Very Best of the Muppet Show videos) avoided showing any guest star clips, and the clip in question briefly showed Leslie Uggam on camera, so it was likely altered to avoid showing her. It's also weird, in that episode, the backstage scene was followed by...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Recently a big book of files regarding the Disney/Henson deal was sold on ebay and the person who bought it posted many images from it on a blog. According to that blog the Playhouse releases are currently owned by Disney.

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

    What exactly DID Mrs. Garrett from Diff'rent Strokes do to get her own spin-off? I saw The Facts of Life for about a year before Diff'rent Strokes, and in the episodes I saw her in she didn't seem to steal the show or be a break-out character. Of course I also feel like I haven't seen too many...
