    Nick at Nite Thread

    I've mentioned it several posts back, but Nick at Nite actually DID have it's own original shows during it's early years. There was Turkey TV, and National Geographic Explorers originated on Nick at Nite (and then moved to TBS). I've heard there was an "At the Movies with Siskel and Ebert"-type...

    Wierd Things you don't get

    Actually in The Frog Prince the father is a Muppet and the daughter is a human. It's Hey Cinderella where the king has a human son.

    Wierd Things you don't get

    But she knew that John Denver was going, so that was one other person going. And it wasn't her idea to go camping. Gonz would. He almost married Madeline Kahn, only for her to not want to marry him.

    The Worst Sesame Street Game that Never was... Grover Music Maker.

    123 and Countdown are among the few Sesame Street games I've played. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I was never able to beat the Astro-Grover game in 123. Recently I noticed that Sesame Street ABC has one non-ABC game (the Rubber Duckie game) and 123 has one non-numbers game (Ernie's Magic...

    Potential New Muppet Show

    If this moves forward I hope they don't focus too much more on new characters than old characters. I feel that was one of the mistakes The Jim Henson Hour and Muppets Tonight made (though many of those new characters are great). They should focus on as many classic characters first, and maybe...

    Wierd Things you don't get

    In the John Denver episode, after Kermit informs everyone that John Denver had invited them to go camping at the swamp, and they all try to get out of it, Miss Piggy threatens them into going. But right before threatening, she starts her speech with "We're going on a camping trip overnight"...

    The Worst Sesame Street Game that Never was... Grover Music Maker.

    I heard about that game, but I had no idea it wasn't released. I even looked it up on Muppet Wiki previously and didn't notice it was an unfinished game. I saw gameplay footage in a video on YouTube called "Sesame Street Game Retrospective", which for a title like that only reviews four games...

    The Muppets Bechdel Test (re. Female roles)

    I can't believe there's any doubt that Miss Poogy is female. Though I recall before the movie came out some fans seemed to speculate that Miss Poogy was a man in drag, and I think Matt Vogel hinted at that in a pre-The Muppets interview, but the movie doesn't seem to show any such indication...

    What went wrong with Muppets from Space?

    I feel that even though the movie wasn't merchandised well, it seems like the Wendy's kids meal promotion was advertised more than the actual movie was (well, that's advertisement money Columbia/Henson didn't have to spend, basically free publicity while also getting paid for the license). I...

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

    My first grade teacher sometimes said "if you don't think your brain will turn into a rock". I thought it was true. But I also didn't know what thinking meant. I also didn't quite know what a brain was (I thought it was the body).

    "Muppets Take Manhatten" Revisited

    One opinion I have which became my opinion a couple of years ago is that the movie is kinda slow and dull between "Saying Goodbye" and Kermit's meeting with Ronnie. There are still some good moments in-between (parts 1 and 2 of Kermit's three-part plan, Rat Scat, Scooter and Gonzo's post cards)...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    Today I thought up a "what if" scenario regarding these releases: What if instead of them being compilations, they were video releases of 2-3 full episodes, but still had their titles? This would have made a good selection: The Muppet Review Juliet Prowse Rita Moreno Harry Belafonte The...

    Potential New Muppet Show

    By that logic The Muppets' Wizard of Oz should have aired on NBC instead of ABC. It is interesting, though, that Letters to Santa has not yet aired on any Disney-owned station, but aired two years in a row on NBC and last year aired on The CW.

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 2 now available for download on iTunes

    I just watched episode 1854. As with the other classic episodes on iTunes (at least the ones I've seen) it's great. Interesting to see Snuffy sick. Also interesting that Maria and Linda (I think) seemed to believe that Snuffy might be real even if they think he's imaginary. Big Bird's line about...

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

    There's a number of times when people claimed I said or did something I'm pretty sure I didn't do, especially right after they happened. Like one time, I did something I wasn't supposed to do. When my mom picked me up from the babysitter, I kept close watch to make sure my babysitter didn't tell...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    At least they didn't just rerelease the season they're from with the missing episode, which would require fans to repurchase that season if they already had it. And at least they didn't just release a "complete series" set with those episodes on it, without the option of buying them seperately...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Come to Sesame Street

    Well, in fan fiction you don't have to worry abut securing character rights. After finishing this I started wondering if I should have had Kermit and April O'Neil team-up. I'm not sure if they would have had food chemestry or not. Of course April was only a news reporter in the original...

    Time-Life released Sesame Street videos???

    Today I was at Goodwill and found a copy of Getting Ready for School. And I was surprised to see the Time-Life Video logo on the sides of the box. I had no idea that Time-Life released Sesame Street videos, particularly those that were sold in stores. Aside from the Time-Life logo on the...

    Sam & Friends skits on Amazon mp3 and CD in print

    Here's the quote from the interview: I read that you were getting only $5 a show for Sam and Friends. Is that anything like reality? HENSON: Yeah, well when I first started working, it was $5 a show; it was probably a little higher by the time I got to my own show, but I remember that they...

    Sam & Friends skits on Amazon mp3 and CD in print

    Considering the show used so many existing record tracks, I'm not surprised. I doubt those are available because of they were used on Sam & Friends. I know that "That Old Black Magic", "Under My Skin", and "Where Hunger Comes From" were lip-synched on the show. There's an interview with...
