Too bad there's no sign of whether any obscure classic-era characters will be included. Hopefully they'll be included even if they're not on the cover (at first I was worried that Boom would ignore anybody who wasn't on the first cover, and obviously we got many obscure characters in the Boom...

The person who bought the legal book did a blog post showing many pages from it. http://boyraisin2.blogspot.com/2013/01/disney-henson-who-owns-what.html I've been too excited to read everything, but there is some interesting stuff mentioned. It does acknowledge that both companies have...

If it's a multi-pack and not sold seperately, then I don't see what the harm would be in including an obscure character among five more better-known ones (especially Animal). It seems that most Muppet PVC multi-packs (outside of the Palisades ones) usually only have the best-known... It wouldn't...

Maybe Henson and SW have different policies involving what their interns can do. Also, who's to say that intern didn't have permission from SW?

Also, in 2008, Sesame Workshop allowed fans on it's facebook page to nominate clips for Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days, to vote for certain things to appear in Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, and to vote for nominated clips for the Best of Friends DVD.

There was recently a thread on the subject, and I think somebody said that the fan outrage came more from the fact that the recast was a test/surprise that we weren't expecting; if fans had known in advance that Kermit would have an alternate performer, they may not have complained as much...

When I first heard of the documentary The World of Jim Henson, I rightfully assumed that it was new, but then when I saw the special and saw the various footage of Jim Henson talking about his career, I thought it must have been made much earlier. Then I got more confused when his death was...

Of the later episodes, you can't go wrong with Muppet Babies: The Next Generation. So many parodies mixed together, a rare episode that focuses on Rowlf, and "The Future is Counting on You" is a great song. I also really like Comic Capers. It's great to see the babies portray Peanuts...

I'm pretty sure it was from 1993-1998. I feel like these should have been called "Coming tomorrow on Sesame Street!" instead of "Coming soon!", since it seems they always were promoting tomorrow's episodes. I remember watching the episode where Slimey landed on the moon, on the friday...

Watching the segments with Big Bird trying and failing to convince the adults that Snuffy is real can be both funny and frusterating at the same time (but it feels less frustrating knowing that the adults would eventually see Snuffy), but it's really funny whenever another character sees or...

If we get any episodes from that era on DVD, I wonder if they would include those (just as the Old School DVDs include, for the most part, the sponsorship credits and PBS logo). I can't remember off-hand the iTunes copies of the season 25 episodes include them.

There was recently an interview with Matt Vogel, where he mentioned that these days he doesn't perform Big Bird as much as he used to (I assume because he's also been busy with Jerry Nelson's characters, or perhaps because Big Bird's been in considerably less episodes each year). It's great...

They were only on the show for season 12, not sure if they're segments were repeated after season 12 (or, if they were, how long they were repeated). I'm hoping that the season 16 premiere (which Muppet Wiki has no information on) just happens to include one of their routines. Or that maybe...

The Muppets Take Manhattan doesn't have any fourth-wall breaking at all. The movie has another fourth-wall-breaking moment or two. When Big Bird enters the farm and sees chickens, he looks at the audience and says, "maybe they'll invite me to dinner!" And Grover sort of talks to the audience...

Looking at my previous post, I can't believe I started listing playsets for series 1 and 2 without continuing the playsets (I know, it would probably end up like that in real life). I had intended on listing for series 3 a Charlie's Restauraunt playset with Grover, but then I couldn't think of...

Long ago somebody who worked on the finale (either Earl Kress or Tim) mentioned that there was a drawing for the finale which was a big circle with sections listing what kind of characters were supposed to go where. Too bad I didn't notice that drawing in this. I wonder if more storyboards...

I find it odd this thread title says "speculation", when it's really just a wishlist thread. There's no official announcement or even rumors that an action figure collection is in the works (or have I missed the rumors?) so there's not really anything to speculate. What I would want for series...

This week I've had a number of dreams regarding a fourth set. First, I dreamt that Sesame Workshop asked fans on facebook to let them know what clips they want on volume 4 (I just suggested "any or all of the Miami Mice segments"). Then, I dreamt that the set was out and actually had some...

I'm indifferent to the title. It's not bad, maybe it's be better without the periods. I can think of some titles that would be better... Which would have also been better and appropriate for the last film.

I just remembered that the storybook adaptation of Christmas Eve on Sesame Street makes it a bit ambiguous as to whether Kermit can see Snuffy. I've only read/looked in the book a few times, but the various plots and subplots (like the Ernie and Bert subplot and the Cookie Monster subplot) are...
