    The Muppet Show Comic Book: The Four Seasons Graphic Novel

    Well I finally found this today. I haven't read it yet, as I'm a bit too excited. But I am surprised, I expected to see this in the magazine shelves (as that's where the Marvel reprints were), and also expected this to be magazine-sized (again, like the Marvel reprints). But it was in the...

    Today I bought the print paperback of The Muppet Show Comic Book: The Four Seasons.

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I don't want to bring this thread off-topic, but according to a talk page on Muppet Wiki, the Sprout broadcast of an episode that featured this segment had it replaced with the "Books" episode, so there must be some reason.

    Elmo's World has credits?

    I wonder if that might be the credits for one of the Elmo's World video releases. I haven't seen many of them ("The People in Your Neighborhood" is the only one I've seen), but I know that those have end credits. EDIT: I just checked Muppet Wiki, and at least in America, the only video...

    I wonder what the deal is with the Transportation episode being so rare. A new Elmo's World DVD has recently been out and didn't include it, while the DVD before that one completed all the EW segments not on DVD. It would be great if sesamestreet.org would at least include a clip from this one...

    When anniversary seasons end...

    Something I've been wondering for awhile now: Whenever Sesame Street has an anniversary season, do you ever feel a bit sad when the next season has started? They've spent a whole year promoting an anniversary, and suddenly it's over... To me, I feel the same way as I do on the day after...

    'Downton Abbey' gets the 'Sesame Street' treatment

    Too bad Monsterpiece Theater hasn't been on the show in over a decade. It would have been a good opportunity for Frank to perform Cookie Monster again. These past several years he's performed Grover and in the last few years one-shots in parody sketches, but he hasn't been Bert or Cookie Monster...

    I saw this recently and was wondering about it. I know that it's from the Muppet Musicians of Bremen release, and was confused because I rented that one a long time ago and was sure there was no promo before it started (and I'm pretty sure I would have remembered seeing a promo for the other...

    Here's Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets: It's interesting seeing Frank Oz perform so many incidental characters in something made in 1985, yet none of his main characters appear in the linking footage. All that stuff with the dog who kept having questions was also funny, and I...

    Little things we've noticed

    After watching The Frog Prince quite a bit lately, I must wonder if King Rupert, Princess Melora, or Featherstone knew about Sweetums being in the dungeon (well, Melora might, since she knew Taminella was a witch). It's also interesting how it's said that Taminella put that spell on Melora...

    The Missing Link Hogthrob

    I feel the same way about every character who was rebuilt for this. While there haven't been that many Muppet productions since, it seems none of the obscure characters who were rebuilt for the last movie have been seen since the Scratching the Surface blu-ray feature. I don't think they were in...

    General Muppets Palisades Discussion

    I know that they originally planned on dropping the stands altogether for series 3, then suddenly decided to include the different stands instead. After that series 4 and 7 were released without stands.

    Little things we've noticed

    In It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie, when Piggy answers a call for her psychic service, Miss Piggy tells the customer that it's "for entertainment purposes only", and then accidentally mentions over the phone that she's not really psychic, to which the customer hangs up. But if she had...

    General Muppets Palisades Discussion

    One thing that's interesting is that whenever figures had a piece of removable clothing, it was always off in the packaging (with the exception of every Swedish Chef figure wearing his hat in the packaging). I wonder why the removable clothes was separate. Other toy lines would have removable...

    Frank Oz in EIG

    I've wondered if Frank Oz physically performed Grover (who only gets one scene) and Cookie Monster (who doesn't really get much dialogue and is as useless in the main group here as Animal was in the main group in Muppets from Space). I've always suspected he performed Bert. On the topic of...

    Nine Years Later: Disney buys Muppets and Bear

    Actually, Palisades went under after the Muppets license expired. You are correct that the Sesame Street line didn't get started because of the company going under, though. I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but recently somebody who claimed to be in charge of clearing all of the...

    TV Tropes

    Is there a trope for when horror movies have scenes where somebody is being chased, and they fall, and even though the chaser is running after them they take their time to get up and run away? I can't remember any examples off-hand, but sometimes I see certain tropes on pages and it'll say to...

    Are there non-online reviews of individual show episodes?

    I've occasionally read about certain episodes of The Muppet Show getting reviews, and it makes me wonder, was there a publication that regularly reviewed new episodes of shows after (or before( they aired? Are there still print reviews (not online) of indiviudal new episodes? I know that the...
