I saw the news that Max has renewed Sesame Street for season 56 after all. But as a result, some changes are being made. The writers and producers realize it needs to attract adults as well as kids, so they have to focus less on kindness (which have been making a number of Max and even Sesame...

Given the official 70th anniversary of the Muppets being celebrated this year, I thought it would be cool if Sesame Workshop would contribute to the anniversary, and do either a DVD or YouTube compilation of 70 Kermit the Frog moments from the show (I thought they were done with physical...

Yesterday I started thinking: What if Frank Oz did perform on Fraggle Rock, but in more of a guest performer compacity? Like, if he performed just once, or had a character appearing about as often as Jim Henson had? Who would he have been great as? I was thinking maybe he could have been The...

Something I was thinking about yesterday. It looks like most of the full bodied monsters performers see through a hole in their mouths. This was confirmed with Sweetums and looks for be the case with Timmy, Doglion, and The Mutations. I always assumed it was the case with the full-bodied Mean...

I'd been wondering if Sesame Street's 55th anniversary will get celebrated this year, and Sesame Workshop just confirmed on social media that the anniversary will indeed be celebrated. And revealed some of what to expect: A line of Sesame Street "classic beanbag toys", which will include Ernie...

It's been announced that Disney and DK Publishing will be collaborating on a new Muppet book called "Muppets on Television", to be written by Henson Company archivist Karent Falk. The book will focus on the various Muppet television series - The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies (1984), Little...

The book has been out for a few weeks, and I am surprised there isn't a thread on the book here yet (was there one when it was announced?), so I am unsure if this should go under Henson People or Muppet Merchandise. But yeah, a few weeks ago came the release of Funny Boy: The Richard Hunt...

So which song do you prefer - One Way or Don't Walk? Both songs are sung by a one-time Anything Muppet voiced by Christopher Cerf, and both involve a sight word on a sign that restricts the singer from doing something. Both tunes also keep the singer apart from his girlfriend. However, in One...

Been quite a while since I last started any "versus" threads for similar segments. But which D song do you like better - Disco D or D Duah Duah (aka Be MY D)? They are both disco sounding songs about the letter D that came out within a few years of each other, where the vocalists are clearly...

It's just been announced that a two-pack of Kermit and Constantine in Funko Pop form will be available exclusively at Hot Topic. Kermit and Constantine Funko Pops? Nailed It. - ToughPigs

Have there ever been any segments you saw way when you were young, then didn't see them for a long time, forgot the lyrics, and then when either hearing a song on an album or hearing people mention a song online, you mistakenly thought one of those songs was a segment in question? There's...

I've had some recent observations about Electric Mayhem toys over the years. Animal has always been the most popular in merchandise, but recently as I have been thinking about this and researching, I've found that Zoot was merchandised a fair bit back in the Muppet Show days. There was a...

Well, it’s been announced on social media…. “A new Muppet movie is in the works. Tentatively titled The Muppets Hit the Fan, it’s an original story reminiscent of the Stephen King story Misery, set to star Neil Patrick Harris as a crazily obsessed fan of the Muppets glory days who manages to...

Frank Oz just tweeted that he and Dave Goelz have gotten together to write a book about themselves as well as Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and of course Jim Henson. It'll be titled "Us and Them and Jim", and each talent will get four chapters - two each written Oz and two by Goelz. Oz describes...

I'm remembering if a certain scene occurred on the original series. I remember an episode that had a scene with the Muppet Babies imagining they are taking care of a baby, probably a baby doll but presented as real in their imagination, and Fozzie gets it to stop crying by taking its batteries...

So in The Frog Prince, Sweetums had a club. And a club was considered for the Sweetums action figure at one point. But it wasn't until recently that I realized he didn't use a c;ub often. Outside of illustrations and merchandise, did Sweetums ever use a club in anything besides The Frog...

I've been watching the Sam and Friends episode with "Old Black Magic".... Can anybody tell if the characters on the television screen are just behind a cut-out hole in the screen area or if they were actually projecting pre-recorded video on the TV? I always thought the set was just cut to...

Recently, the clip where Bert sees Mr. Snuffleupagus has surfaced on YouTube. Sesame Street - Bert sees Snuffy - YouTube It is interesting. When Big Bird invites Bert to meet Snuffy, and Bert doesn't want to meet an imaginary friend, I can't quite tell if he's nicer or about the same as...

I haven’t watched the Dog City animated series in years, but I am trying to remember, did Bugsy Vile wear a wig? My memory says yes but I don’t see anything online that says so. of course, Bugsy in the original special did not have hair while Bruno did have black hair (I don’t recall Bruno’s...

During the "Life Hereafter" song in Muppets Haunted Mansion, at one point they make a reference to Beauty and the Beast. One rat sings "we ain't rich and he can't groove" (and I kept having trouble understanding that line), and then another says "we did that in a beastly cartoon", to which...
