The irony I was referring to is the fact that when the specials were made, the Disney Channel stars were more current than the Muppets and likely were promoted as the reason for its target audience to watch (I don't actually remember seeing any of the commercials, so I could be wrong), while if...

I like the comic as well. Though I don't seek out book collections of the strip or particularly desire adaptations of the franchise.

This reminds me of the first time I heard of Mother Goose and Grimm, it was in a commercial for the cartoon series with Garfield talking about Grimm. Both shows were on CBS, but now I wonder if having Garfield promote the show had anything to do with Mark Evanier writing both.

I've noticed over the years that on Rugrats characters might mention something kids wouldn't exactly know but vaguely or even deliberately not say what they are. I know, I could have just asked my parents or somebody else, but at the time I didn't think to ask older people to explain obscure...

I thought certain cliffs or holes led to bottomless areas. Most notably in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, I thought that the cliff Yukon Cornelius fell off of was bottomless, and wondered how the abominable snowman could bounce his way up. Ditto with the cliff that Rudoph knocked a log into...

How ironic. I had no idea the DC stars who appear in the specials were no longer relevent, and also had no idea that people had forgotten about the DC shows they were famous for. Of course when the Studio DC specials aired I had hardly been aware of any of the Disney Channel shows besides Hannah...

Sony has had the video rights to The Dark Crystal and The StoryTeller since the Jim Henson Home Entertainment days, while the company has always had the distribution rights to Labyrinth and Buddy. I don't think any companies that had the primary video rights to the Henson library has ever had...

I find it amusing how the packaging mentions that it's "packed with classics like Monsterpiece Theater and Beetle Bailey". Considering the same Beetle Bailey segment had been included on the previous two releases (I assume there's only one Beetle Bailey segment produced for Sesame Street), I...

didn't take over here. I'd almost like to see someone make that a live action movie. The 1993 movie is the best. The others that were either made-for-video or made-for-tv are sort of a chore to watch, though I did enjoy A Dennis the Menace Christmas Carol a little, and I never saw all of the...

On the topic of Barney, while I'm not a fan and most likely wouldn't buy a DVD set, I agree that the early episodes (and especially the VHS releases that started it all) need to be on DVD. The longtime Barney fans probably deserve the old episodes as much as us longtime Sesame Street fans. On...

Dennis the Menace is also a one-panel comic strip (except on sundays) and that got a live-action series, two animated shows, and four movies.

I recall seeing Sesame Street represented in "If Kids Shows Were Real", but I can't remember what actually happened there.

This got me wondering if they'd ever do a "if Muppets were real..." video.

I've been looking at the "other posts" page, which indexes various series of articles, and I noticed that it doesn't list the "Muppet Retro Reviews" series yet (I know there's only two retro reviews so far, but hopefully there'll be more soon). Just thought I'd point it out. I thought of an...

I'm hoping this leads to them finally releasing (in the u.s.) Taz-Mania on DVD.

Yeah, some of the stuff I listed I'd wait until they were older. I think I'd wait 'till the enxt generation was 5 or 6 before watching the Star Wars and Back to the Future trilogies, for example. For many years I had been wondering what the best way to expose Star Wars to kids is, in the...
