I've noticed that The Jim Henson Company has released the Dog City special on DVD under the title "Dog City: The Movie", despite the fact that the series hasn't been on DVD (except for those Amazon burn-on-demand discs), hasn't been rerun in years, and I'm sure many aren't aware of the series...

Having not yet watched this, I can't believe there'd be consequences just fr remembering it too hard. I wonder what the big deal is. Really? I once read a review of the DVD release, which said that the show was funnier during the Nickelodeon era because John K was limited in what he was...

Well, they don't actually get any words out, so I didn't assign performers. I intentionally had their act end before they could start to sing to work around the fact that their performers had passed on.

It seems like for shows to enter syndication, they tend to require 100 episodes, while children's shows tend to require 65. Why must children's shows have a shorter episode minimum for syndication? And why do so many syndication packages for children's shows have less episodes? In fact...

Really? I'd heard long ago that Sesame Workshop has restored every episode multiple times over the years. This is the first I heard of some old segments being lost from the archives (unless it's just the master tapes used for putting them in the episodes, while they survive in episodes that...

I've been thinking of the possibillities of a volume 4, and after thinking about it and looking at the episode guides at Muppet Wiki, I actually feel less excited about a potential volume 4 than I did the existing ones (while I feel a little more excited about a set of the season 21-25...

I was just thinking about the ending to Snoopy Come Home, where once Snoopy comes home and everyone is happy, Snoopy decides he wants back everything he gave away (I wonder if he gave those orders to the charities he gave things to), his letter to Charlie Brown telling him that since he gave...

I was thinking, even if Disney did decide to release a two-disc (or however many) "essential" collection, I'd rather it be a collection of existing compilations, preferrably the Playhouse releases, since those do contain a lot of essential clips. Of course a two-disc set probably wouldn't have...

It's a toy with no articulation, always posed. They are also called figurines. I can't remember off-hand what PVC stands for. Yes there was a set for Star Wars. A few sets, actually. It would be kinda funny if they did one of the Muppets as classic Disney characters. Kermit as Mickey...

Here's a listing of what kind of Muppet merchandise I'd like to see up to the release of the new movie. I'll list by times of the year, assuming the release date for "The Muppets... Again" doesn't change. Spring-Summer 2013: More Muppet plush and beanies, both Disney Store exclusives and...

This is good news. I'm excited. I read on the Toonzone forums that the episodes are presented in chronological order, and somebody said something that I hadn't known until now: The entire series was produced in one production season, yet was split into four seperate broadcast seasons. That's...

I've been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and maybe I am thinking too much, but does anybody else wonder if maybe the MuppeTelevision segments of The Jim Henson Hour are what TV Tropes calls an "old shame" to The Jim Henson Company? There's the fact that aside from Clifford hardly any...

Here's a recent post which actually explains how Jim was able to purchase the distribution rights to his work with ITV as well as why he didn't work with that company after The Dark Crystal: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2013/01/17/1171982/ I had read on the site a few years ago that Jim...

Thinking more about those in-development/abandoned scripts, I find it interesting how there were two scripts called "Next Muppet Movie" (well, one of them has a "The" in the title...). Also two different newer Muppet shows, I assume the one titled "Tom Martin Muppet Show" is the one that was...

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it meant that a Muppet Show in Canada was planned but fell through (well, most of The Jim Henson Hour WAS made in Canada). It would have probably had some Canadian performers. When Jerry Nelson was interviewed for Tough Pigs, he said that...

I was surprised to see that The Muppets on Puppets is not listed at all. Considering that special was included in The Muppet Show: Season Three, I wonder if that was an oversight, if Disney made a mistake, if Disney obtained the rights to that special after 2004, or if Disney had to clear the...

For the most part I've clicked on pictures and then clicked on the images shown below in the bottom of the pages. Turns out another page about Scary, Scary Monsters is included, but clicking on it doesn't present a larger image. And it's quite confusing... It seems that Disney got the rights to...

There's a few things I wanted to say about that blog post but forgot. The various pages from the book are obviously taken pictures (as opposed to scans), and some pages are shown multiple times, at different sizes. One particular page that appears twice in that blog begins with something...

Recently somebody obtained a book documenting the Disney/Henson sale, and posted images on a blog (from what I can tell from a Tough Pigs forum post the blog doesn't show everythign from the book). Here's thye blog post: http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html...
