I get the feeling that The Jim Henson Company was run more like a business after Jim's passing. Don't know for sure, but I get that feeling. I also feel like Sesame Workshop has always been treated a bit more like a business, though obviously not a big corporate business like Disney.

Noticed a few mistakes there. Kermit did not wear a wig in the "Inchworm" sketch (could you have been thinking of "I've Grown Accostomed to Your Face"?), and The Jim Henson Hour did not last two seasons (that was Muppets Tonight). That must be the longest Weekly Muppet Wednesday article, and...

I think it should have been obvious he's just been on the set one day a season. I think I read that fact somewhere before, but even if I didn't, he only did two segments for season 40 (Mad Men and a Marshall Grover segment), I don't think he did anything for the show in season 41, and for...

I saw an interview with Matt Vogel yesterday. So I guess they're not restricted from interviews. Here's the Vogel interview: http://schooltheatre.org/publications/dramatics/2012/05/man-and-muppet But it is weird that the majority of post-movie interviews from Tough Pigs and The Muppet Mindset...

It's "Pet Animal Day" with Rosita.

It's been announced that in August there'll be a DVD called Elmo's Alphabet Challenge. And it'll have original footage. I can't tell by the description whether it'll have any existing segments or episodes or if it'll all be new footage. I normally prefer Sesame Street video releases that contain...

Today I was thinking about who could be today's featured Muppet, and kept suspecting Gobo.

A detail of my dream that I forgot to mention: After I made the purchase and took it home I got it out of the box and it ended up being a VHS copy of The Muppets Take Manhattan in the wrong box (and the video store I know of that had these videos for rent never had The Muppets Take Manhattan)...

One joke that I sort of get but its really confusing. In the Teresa Brewer episode, during the sketch with Teresa and Sweetums, Waldorf comments "it's the old monster-and-swing bit again", or something like that, commenting that they tried to sneak it past them again. An awkward joke, since...

Last week I dreamt that a video store I used to rent videos from most of the time that closed in 1996 was suddenly selling everything it had for rent. This video store had four of the Playhouse Videos, and was one of the few places I remember seeing those videos in person. In my dream they were...

A few years ago I bought a used copy of one of the newer TMNT video games, Mutant Nightmare, just because Turtles in Time is an unlockable bonus. At first I struggled to get past the first or second level, gave up on it for a few years, and then motivated myself into putting in more effort...

Recently I've been reading about VCR games. I've sort of known about them for awhile... A year ago I was at somebody's house and saw they had an old board game which referred to itself on the box as a VCR game. I was intrigued, though I didn't ask about it or inspect the game further. But then I...

This week is "Mommy Time" with Elmo.

That's happened to me before. A couple of years ago I found that all comments I posted, even on my own videos, had disapeared, and all video responses I posted, even video responses to my own videos, had disapeared. I didn't get any notifications or warnings or anything. One thing I find...

The book TV Land To Go has a section on publicity stunts "that may have gone too far". Some I remember, some I don't (actually most of the ones I don't came before my household got cable). I've been looking for many of them on YouTube, with no luck. I found one, a "String-a-Thon", a pledge drive...
