    Some questions on The Muppet Movie

    Speaking of that, has Janice the puppet ever played the tambourine? A tambourine was an accessory with the action figure, I think the comic books sometimes showed her playing tambourine (I don't think she ever played guitar in any of the BOOM comics, for some reason), and the old Kermitage...

    Why has the Muppet theater changed so much?

    His office was at Muppet Studios, not the theater. You could say that the studio wasn't built until after the show ended (assuming the Muppets still made movies and specials after the show ended in this continuity).

    Original Gordon from the Sesame Street test pilot has been identified

    Seems it didn't say if he was still alive or not. Somehow I'm assuming he is, but it's still hard for me to tell from the article (yeah, it says they wouldn't talk about his personal life, which is fine by me, but it'd still be good to know if he was still living). It's interesting, his name...

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    You know, I was sort of expecting more photos of Muppets in the "Pictures in my Head" sequence. It seems odd for there to not be pictures of Bunsen and Beaker, Rowlf, or Scooter (or Pepe or Lew Zealand or Sweetums or Sam or Rizzo or....).

    Dream DVD Extras for 'The Muppets' DVD

    If it has any of those then it can't really be called a "bare bones dvd".

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I noticed that the only time Uncle Deadly was mentioned by name in the movie, he's just called "Deadly".

    "The Muppets" What were you half expecting

    After seeing one review which mentioned that the fart shoes gag had some sort of payoff, I expected the shoes to end up making Tex Richman laugh for the first time ever. The "payoff" didn't seem like much of one, just another use of the gag (the movie junior novel actually mentions both fart...

    Rewind Reviews: A Special Sesame Street Christmas

    I had no idea Happy Holidays aired on PBS.

    Noticed something about Zoot's closings

    I knew that, but I was just saying that the "It's the Muppets!" videos couldn't have just reused a closing from an actual episode, because of some of the performers credited, and the credits were presented like they were in the US broadcasts.

    Rewind Reviews: A Special Sesame Street Christmas

    When I first read about this at Tough Pigs, I thought that Caroll Spinney was the only Muppet performer in this (in addition to Toby Towson performing Barkley), but watching this it's clear there's an extra uncredited performer, performing Oscar's right hand when playing the guitar (I knew about...

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    For awhile I wondered if maybe it was common on Playhouse Video releases. It's common for me to find videos from Playhouse in flea markets (though never the Muppet ones) and for the most part they don't, but the Fairie Tale Theater videos do. I recently found images of the inside covers for...

    Noticed something about Zoot's closings

    Back in the 1980s when Henson purchased the rights to The Muppet Show, they had to replace the endings with Zoot because the ATV logo appeared. But it makes me wonder, why didn't they have a copy without the logo? I would think that they had copies of the closing without credits (so they could...

    Question about Playhouse Videos' Back Covers

    I found an image from the back cover of Rock Music with the Muppets!: http://www.amoeba.com/blog/2008/11/video-maniacs/rock-music-with-the-muppets.html Looking at that image of Floyd and Zoot (which I previously thought was from one of the musician jokes sketches), I wonder if that's actually...

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I don't think It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie comes with free tickets. I'm pretty sure that's only for the movies that Disney has released on DVD. Universal released that one.

    Rewind Reviews: A Special Sesame Street Christmas

    I only watched the beginning of this, but I must ask, are you still making videos as "The Nostalgia Teen"? At first I wondered if the Teen would be hosting this. Interestingly, I first heard of this special ten years ago, when Danny Horn wrote a review/summary at Tough Pigs. And although the...

    If "The Muppets" is a success: What's next?

    It's in season two of The Muppet Show, when Cleo Laine guest starred. It's the act Fozzie did with Kermit when Fozzie's mom was in the audience.

    The Muppets may be in trouble. :-/

    I thought it already beat MTI as the second highest-grossing. So currently it's only the fourth highest?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Considering that the "People in Your Neighborhood" segments included in Elmo's World: People in Your Neighborhood (well, the segments that aren't bonus clips) feature a type of person related to the Elmo's World episodes they follow, I wonder if the majority of clips will be related to the three...

    An idea for the movies when they hit Blu-ray...

    There's already a rumor that a "Muppets movie" collection will come to blu-ray on May 24 (we'll see if that's true). George Lucas won't market The Star Wars Holiday Special. Also, did you mean it comes out september of next year, or that it already came out last september (as you may or may...
