Really enjoyable article, Ken, thanks for posting the link. I love the bit at the end about Landis and Tim Burton and The Muppet Movie, I had no idea.

Oh, sure, scarecroe. I don't mind anyone linking to the site as long as it's not from, er, some sort of appallingly anti-Muppet page, if you understand me.

I've posted a summary review of Season 34 (or as much of it as I've seen so far) and recaps of the first 12 episodes from this season. Very handy if you're trying to figure out when "Cookie Hood" is on so you can be sure to record or TiVo it.

Who's playing Miss Noodle in the Elmo's World episode on firefighters? Is this the same woman who's played Miss Noodle before? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

My Web site, sesamebeat.com, was down for awhile because I was switching hosts and having to reinstall Movable Type and the new host forgot to set up my email account properly. Anyway, it's all up and running again and this weekend I'm hoping to finish a bunch of recaps from the new season...

Actually my Sesame Street site is entirely legal, but this is because it doesn't contain any images from the show at all. There are images of DVD/video covers in the review section, but those are used with permission from Amazon. So you can be 100 percent within the law, but it does mean...

I have the Martha Stewart episode with Cookie on it on videotape and it is one of the funniest Muppet bits I have seen in a long time. There's some sort of weird vibe between Martha and Cookie, one might almost call it sexual chemistry. Martha flirts with Cookie and then at the end she ties him...

Thanks, Danny! I loved the John Denver one, I was giggling right here in the office. I think I screwed up my Elmo's World: Happy Holidays tape so I'll be interested to see what you guys have to say about it.

Looks like Miss Piggy borrowed Columbia's hat from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." But it's cute, very cute. Can't wait to see it Friday!

It's what happens when you go to film school and take classes in deconstructing film and TV. Once you have to do it for class, it's difficult to break the habit. I thought the article was amusing, myself, but I saw it as a kind of spoof of the kind of essay we had to write in film and media...

It'll be a delightful antidote to the big event earlier on Friday in this state, the Texas-A&M football game. That's assuming that the Aggies know how to change the channel, of course.

I wanted to add that the Cookie Letter of the Day may become one of my favorite parts of Sesame Street, ever, and that started THIS season. The premise is predictable, but like Pinky and the Brain, the execution is so entertaining that it doesn't matter. If you haven't seen any new episodes...

I think we all remember the best parts of the old Sesame Street episodes and we tend to forget that it had its flaws just like the current episodes do now. Don't get me wrong -- I don't like Journey to Ernie at all (except for the Ernie and Bert sketches at the end, which rock) and I can't...

I think I just found a WAY cool Christmas present for people this year ... or a cool way to wrap gifts, too! Thanks for the heads up, Drtooth.

"The Ladybug Picnic" or whatever it's called. There I'll be, trying to edit someone's technical manual, and I'll hear it in my head: "one two THREE, four five SIX, seven eight NINE, ten eleven TWELVE ..." and so on.

All I can advise is to see if Noggin is still showing segments of Sesame Street Unpaved in the middle of the night, start taping episodes, and see if any of those episodes contain the skit you need. Or you can see if people from other countries are seeing it on their versions of Sesame...

I'd like to see Willie Nelson, as he's pretty Muppet-like and could sing one of the Muppet standards quite charmingly. Or Lance Armstrong, maybe offering Grover some biking tips.

Drtooth, you rock. I'm flattered. If you make an unauthorized copy of something, it's illegal, even if you're not going to make any profit from it. The exception to the copyright law is something called "fair use," a very gray area that allows you to reproduce exceprts of something for the...

Thanks very much, Luke. I tried it on my office machine, where I don't have Flash, and was able to access articles and things. The site really is attractive. I haven't tried it at home yet but I hope you're right and it won't take any longer than the usual times. After all, when you have a...

As someone who has 28.8 dialup at home (I can't afford more) and has been discouraged from installing plug-ins at work, I'm sorry I won't be able to visit Muppet Central anymore. I understand you all put a lot of work into the site and that it apparently looks gorgeous, but NOT everyone has...
