The Muppet SpotlightEdit

I'd seen this (or one of these) before, but I don't know if we actually had a place on the wiki for it. Does anybody know? — Julian (talk) 19:28, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

I've never seen anything like this before. I don't think it's anywhere on the wiki. I guess we start it at The Muppet Spotlight, but we don't know much about it. Doesn't really look like a TV show. Interstitials for Disney's ESPN maybe? —Scott (message me) 17:07, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

I dug around a little, and this one's an edited-down version. I found the full 4:43 video in my stuff, downloaded (possibly off of YouTube) in March 2006, though production-wise it's dated "2005 or 2006."

It's got all kinds of references in it (celebrity fahion, Sports Illustrated, the Oscars, celebrity iPods, Snoop Dogg, the Daytona 500, The Dukes of Hazzard, Desperate Housewives), and looks to me like a test show (à la The Muppets Present). The production year is very likely 2005, as they used the same awful green-screen set on 2005's Pepe's Profiles.

Would you like me to send you the file for the wiki's YouTube channel? — Julian (talk) 18:56, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, definitely! I'll put it up on our channel. —Scott (message me) 19:14, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Check! — Julian (talk) 20:13, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

"Mickey's Toontown" Creature Shop showEdit

Finally, the reletive success of the A.B.C. T.V. show "Dinosaurs", prompted Disney to consider doing a children's show for The Disney Channel based on Mickey's Toontown, and using character suits identical to ones seen in Anaheim, but using the Henson technology and the "official" character voices. I was considered to perform Mickey Mouse's head from off-camera to a vocal playback and using an adapted "waldo" system. This concept was one of the many that disolved with the Micheal Eisner/Brian Henson fallout that cost a lot of needy puppeteers and body suit performers a lot of work, opportunity and money.

I discovered this passage on the forums of Jim Hill Media. Has anyone heard of this concept, or should I contact the poster to ask if he can reveal his sources? -- Zanimum 01:10, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

I've never heard of it. If you can get a source from the poster, that would give us more than we have to go on. —Scott (talk) 01:13, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

Unaired Sesame PlacementEdit

Awhile back, on the Toughpigs forum, Brad, Tony, myself, and others, discussed some lost episodes of Sesame Street, which were definitely completed but never aired. Key examples were an entire sketch series The Man from Alphabet starring Gary Owens, the original version of "Imagination", and the 1992 episode in which Snuffy's parents undergo a messy divorce. So the question is, should there be individual pages for each, and stick them under here, a special "Unaired/Unfinished Sesame" category, or just one page, "Unaired Sesame Street Episodes," for all of it, to be categorized under here? --Andrew, Aleal 21:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if opinion counts for much around here, but I'd go with putting them on one page, since people are more likely to be looking for information on unaired episodes in general than specific episodes. If you really wanted to cover each episode individually, though, I suggest doing both--create a general unfinished episodes page with basic information with a list that links to each individual episode, and put the general page on this list of unfinished TV shows.

Well, 5-months later and we have an "Unaired Sesame Street" category. so we have a place for this stuff. So if someone can dig-up the information on the divocing Snuffleupaguses episode and put an article together, that would be awesome. -- Brad D. (talk) 02:49, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
