I wish it would have included all of the Letters to Santa tracks and also I Beleive in Santa Claus (regardless of which version).

I think the "Muppet Barbershop Quartet" singing Smells Like Nirvanna sounds intriguing. I can't wait to see who is in the quartet (some of the most famailair characters? Generic whatnots/pigs/whatever? Hard-to-understand characters like Beaker?).

I thought I read somewhere that Kermit would sing this song in the movie. Maybe it's sung twice and only one appears on the album? Weird Al isn't a no-talent clown. But I doubt he'd do a cover of a serious song (a parody, sure, but not a cover).

It's an original song for the movie. And according to track listings (I didn't click on the link you provided, so I'm not sure if I saw that one, but I saw other track listings) it's a song sung by Mary and Miss Piggy. I thought I read that the movie would have new versions of many songs from...

I previously thought Kermit's "I believe in you" speech would come closer to the end, but after watching this, it looks like it might happen before the telethon, perhaps even before they can secure a deal to air the telethon. I previously saw a Moopets production t-shirt which depicted a live...

It's "Make a Shape Day" with Grover. I guess it's because Elmo's Shape Adventure comes to DVD tomorrow.

I agree. It would have been great to have seen Zoot play his saxaphone or Lips blow his trumpet, if not the whole Electric Mayhem doing a concert inside the theater. Or they could have had Crazy Harry set off an explosion. Or Bunsen and Beaker do an experiment in the theater. And considering...

Well, the site recently did an entry on the Playhouse and Play-Along Videos (the entry was on the Playhouse videos, but the article focused more on the Play-Along tapes). http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/10/01/101-21984/

I've noticed that while none of the Play-Along Videos were ever rereleased, the Sing-Along Videos included quite a few clips in the opening.

For years I've been wondering why so much good material was left out of this collection, but then it hit me: The Muppet Show has too many great moments for just ten videos. They would have needed to have made several more volumes to truly get all the best moments.

I recently dreamt that there was a new banner for the new movie, but the artwork was the same artwork used for the cover of the 1993 VHS release of The Muppet Movie.

It's too bad it doesn't say which compilation videos were shot that weekend, but at first I thought maybe it was Muppet Treasures, Muppet Weird Stuff, and Country Music. But then I noticed it said it was in 1984, and I've read that only the first four videos (as advertised in the promo) have a...

I know that people's voices change when they grow up, but do voices actually change after they've fully grown up and past puberty, or could the performers just be having trouble doing the voices the same as they had in the past? Jim's Kermit voice has changed a bit. Until maybe the second or...

I expected it to be as big as the Sesame Street 40th anniversary book. What a surprise. It also sounds like it'll be better than I expected (though I still don't know if I want it more or not). So does the book include a lot of "At the Dance" quotes?

I don't know if this is the right thread for this or not, but concerning the subject of the possibility of Walter merchandise, I've noticed that whenever there's a new Muppet movie featuring new characters, the new characters pretty much don't get made as toys when the movie is out and being...

Actually, Frazzle has been in a street scene after season 25. I recall an episode from season 29-31 which had a scene where Frazzle slept over in Big Bird's nest. Or maybe that was an insert shown in multiple episodes (which could have debuted before season 25).

I've never owned the book, but I've read parts of it in the store, mainly the part about how the special came to be. It seems Schultz and the producers did a bit of brainstorming before deciding to do a Halloween story.

I've read that Charles Schultz didn't have full controll over what happens in the TV specials (even though he's the only credited writer), which explains things like the Little Red-Haired Girl being seen in a few specials, and it sort of makes me wonder who normally did the pitching for the...

I'll have to reread the Tough Pigs coverage of that Toy Fair, but I'm pretty sure that Disney didn't allow photos to be taken of any of the Muppet merchandise at that Toy Fair.

The small assortment of characters sort of reminds me of a typical Palisades Toys series, only all the characters are "big guns". As much as I'm hoping they eventually make Walter and Uncle Deadley, it won't surprise me if they eventually release Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and maybe Rowlf, Scooter...
