    Look what I just found on eBay!

    I don't think it's far-fetched for Simon and Poco to be on a cup alongside other characters. I read all the posts before looking at the link, and thought it was toys of the characters, which would be a surprise, but if they're just illustrated on a cup with other main characters, I don't think...

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

    Maybe putting lettuce and tomato on a sandwich makes it look more like a sandwich? Though I would think two pieces of bread would be enough. At least peanut butter sandwiches are never shown with lettuce and tomato. I especially prefer for sandwiches with lunch meat to not have lettuce and tomato.

    MCC: What would you have changed?

    One thing I wonder: When they planned on having Miss Piggy play the ghost of Christmas present, did they also plan on having her play Emily Cratchet? Did they plan on having Emily Cratchet at all? If the ghosts were played by established characters or played for comedy relief (or if the...

    The future of Sesame Street

    Well, I read that most of next season had been completed before Kevin Clash resigned, so they have a year to train a new performer to take over Elmo. I'm sure Matt Vogel will do a good job as The Count and other Jerry Nelson characters. Who knows, maybe Big Bird will be more prominient again...

    'Downton Abbey' gets the 'Sesame Street' treatment

    One thing that hit me when watching this segment: Is Upside Downton Abbey the first female character made from the Orange Gold Anything Muppet? It seems those are usually male... So it seems odd seeing that AM used for a woman. Also, is it just me or is the Pumpkin Anything Muppet's head...

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

    I like lettuce and tomato, and don't mind having them on my sandwich. Though I normally prefer to have sandwiches plain. I usually only have lettuce and tomato on mine if I get my sandwich at a restaurant.

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

    In the movie "Dinner for Schmucks", what's the deal with Steve Carrell's boss being seen as likely to "win"? It was expected that he'd win the award for biggest loser because he thought he had mind controll, and used it on Steve's character... Who believed that his mind was being controlled. The...

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    Early publicity for The Muppets also had grpup photos featuring generic rats but not Rizzo, and in the end Rizzo only appeared in the background (and there were a number of scenes with generic rats but no Rizzo). Though Rizzo was featured quite a bit in publicity and interviews (sorta like...

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    It would be great to at least see a little bit of various recurring segments in a montage. I wonder if they would build such sets that would only be used for a few seconds in a montage (I know, they could just green screen and cgi the backgrounds). I'd be surprised if any of the classic sets...

    'Downton Abbey' gets the 'Sesame Street' treatment

    Wow, these last few years we've gotten Frank Oz performing one-shot characters in parody sketches, and all of them are parodies of shows I'd never heard of previously (I think I might have heard of Mad Men before the parody). And with the exception of "The Heaviest Catch" all these segments are...

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    I didn't mind any of the spoilers, but I hope they don't over-do it with the parody trailers. I enjoyed the first three teasers/parody trailers, and then the real trailer... But when they started doing parody trailers again after the official trailer came out, I thought "Really??" I also felt...

    Silly things you said, did, or thought as a kid

    Back when Jim Carrey started to become an A-list star in 1994 and I started to learn about his pre-Ace Ventura roles, I had a number of odd things in my head regarding what I thought occurred in his earlier roles. I first misread the title "Peggy Sue Got Married" as "Peggy Got Married", and...

    Honkers based on Harpo Marx

    Muppet Wiki doesn't say anything about Harpo Marx being an inspiration. According to Muppet Wiki, Tony Geiss came up with the characters, based on his own childhood habit of honking his nose. Unless Harop was Geiss' inspiration for honking his own nose, then I guess not.

    Who owns the rights to what?

    Currently the blog that contains all these scans has two posts concerning those legal forms/whatever. The second blog post has pages involving lawsuits. The person who started that blog said on the toughpigs forum that he hasn't posted everything from those documents, and is unsure whether he'll...

    Your Muppet mistakes

    I remember a few mistakes I made regarding The Muppet Christmas Carol, before I saw the movie, so this was based on the trailers. First, there's one scene that was in many commercials where Miss Piggy says "whatever!", her voice sounded a bit deeper and more man-like. I noticed that and thought...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've noticed that on The StoryTeller, characters who get forced to serve end up getting fair payment anyway. In "A Story Short", the Storyteller gets punished for tricking the cook and the king decides that for his punishment, the storyteller must tell one story a day or get cooked, and the...

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

    Makes me wonder if Halloween is Grinch Night airs in october, november-december, or at all each year. Well, for the last several years I've been watching ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas each year, and hadn't noticed that special airing (doesn't mean that I haven't missed the advertising)...

    SST 2.0 Outline: Gordon Forgets His Papers

    Here's another outline for what I call "Sesame Street 2.0". For those who don't know, it was the subject of an april fools joke I did on april 1 2012. You can read the thread here: http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/april-fools-sesame-street-to-target-older-audiences-directly.50795/...

    Muppets sequel plot and promotional photo in Entertainment Weekly

    While I am glad that the reason for the Muppets being in Europe is because they are on a world tour due to their celebrity status (and I assume newfound popularity after the events of the previous film), judging by the plot I actually feel like it'd be better if this film took place in a...
