    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Well, I got the Imagination Illustrated book for Christmas. Is there a thread for that on the forum? I did a google search (which is usually more affective than the forums search engine) and couldn't find a thread. Not sure which folder a thread for the book would be in (Henson people? Muppet...

    Your Username--Explain Yourselves!

    Mine should be obvious. I like the minor muppet characters.

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

    When listening to the song Mahna Mahna, I used to say that the Snowths were singing about do-doo, do to the "doo doo doo doo doo" singing. And after hearing the Sesame Street version, where the girls sing "pa tee at bee de", I though it sounded like they were scatting about pee, sometimes joking...

    The world is still in one piece

    Throughout the last few years I've gone back and fourth between being confidident that the world wouldn't end and being worried that I was wrong (especially when hearing more details regarding certain things). It's interesting, this prediction should have been known for thousands of years, yet I...

    Something I just realized about Christmas specials

    Really? He's always short with the elves? As I recall he barely interacts with the elves. He talks to them before and after "We are Santa's Elves", and I'm not sure if he actually speaks to the elf who gives a weather report, but aside from him disliking the elf song he doesn't seem to be short...

    Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July

    I can't believe I like the New Years one better than Christmas in July. I've seen that one more times than Rudolph and Frosty. I wish they'd include a few of the supporting characters from the first Rudolph special, like Hermey and Yukon. I feel like Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July is...

    Anybody On Here Like Grinch Grinches The Cat In The Hat?

    I really like this special. I especially like the weird animation in the restauraunt scene. It's kind of interesting how this and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both end with the Grinch turning good, but Halloween is Grinch Night doesn't. I've tried thinking up ways to make them...

    You Know What I'd Like to See?

    I've liked the idea of a Sesame Street DVD collection of animated and live action shorts for years. In fact, that was the topic of my first April Fools thread on the forum back in 2006. It'd be great to have one themed around either animation or animation and films, though I doubt a set themed...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    I noticed on the back cover, there's an image from the end of the special, with the cast, extras, and some of the guests. But the image on the cover superimposes Michael Jackson and Anne Murray into the image. It's a bit odd, seeing all them singing as Michael Jackson appears to just be walking...

    Sesame Street to tackle divorce, for real this time

    I wonder if this will lead to Sesame Workshop releasing the Sesame Street News "Bird Family" sketch on DVD or online, or even if they'll release portions of the "Snuffy Gets a Divorce" episode (now that I think about it, I want that to be a bonus feature on Old School Volume 5, if we get a fifth...

    Warner Bros. Drops Out of Calvin & Hobbs Movie

    At first I thought this whole article was a joke, since Bill Watterson objected to licensing the characters, and especially surprising that Kevin Clash would have been the one to have pitched/been in charge of it. This would have (likely) been the first time Clash pitched a production without...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've been watching the El Sleezo sequence from The Muppet Movie online, and noticed that when Kermit walks by a table where the waiter is serving frogs legs, one of the people at the table looks like Doc Hopper. Not sure if that's actually him or not, but he's dressed similar, and I thought I...

    Video: "The Muppet Movie - The (Nearly) 35th Anniversary Edition" coming to Blu-Ray in 2013

    Hopefully that Disney Intermission feature (assuming it's on this release) won't ruin that. Though I've seen screen grabs from The Muppets blu-ray online, so I guess it's possible.

    Video: "The Muppet Movie - The (Nearly) 35th Anniversary Edition" coming to Blu-Ray in 2013

    When I first saw the trailer and thought about the fact that no specific date is on there (just 2013) I wondered if it was official or fan made. Especially since the youtube channel it's associated with sounds more like something a YouTuber would have. But hopefully this is real. Too bad it...

    Grover and Mr. Johnson

    It seems like after the singing telegrams sketch Sesame Workshop didn't make Mr. Johnson his official name until after Muppet Wiki started. He'd often be listed in credits or official reference materials as either "customer" or "Fat Blue" (which is what his Anything Muppet pattern is called...
