    Favorite moments from any season

    Since Sesame Street is approaching its 50th season, I wanted to ask the MC community: what are your favorite/most memorable moments from any particular season? Please list your favorite songs, sketches, films, and cartoons, not just "important" moments like Maria & Luis's wedding, or Snuffy's...

    Ask CJD874 Anything!

    I've been on this forum for over five years, and I think it's time for me to do this, following in the footsteps of other MCF members that created similar threads. Go ahead and ask me anything, as long as it's forum-appropriate and not too personal.

    Jesse's Girl (A 1990s SST Fan Fiction)

    Most of you are familiar with my Sesame Street "old school outlines" and original Muppet Show episode scripts. But lately I've been working on something completely different. Imagine, if you will, a parallel universe in which Gina's love life is examined more closely and her relationship with a...

    Sesame Street and Mythbusters!

    So Adam Savage, the co-host of the long-running and extremely popular show Mythbusters, has some connections to Sesame Street. You might recognize some of the segments that he mentions. Maybe that's how he got his start in animation, and then moved on to engineering and co-hosting Mythbusters...

    Famous Photo, Rare Skit

    This photo shows a behind-the-scenes shoot from the mid- to late 1970s, showing Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard filming a Muppet insert with Ernie, Bert, Count von Count, and Sully. The photo has been featured in Jim Henson: The Works, for example, and has surfaced a lot on the internet. But...

    Sesame Street Old School Outlines

    So I've really gotten into the Sesame Street classics episodes from iTunes and thought, "I should try making some original outlines." These outlines are between seasons 3 and 10; the golden years, if you will, of SS. ***I have tried to make these as original as possible. If any street scenes in...

    Poems, Haikus, and Whatnot(s)

    Most of you are familiar with my Muppet Show outlines and artwork. But since I don't have as much time for that, I am resorting to short poems and haikus (thanks to the MC member who inspired me with her own haiku thread). So we kick off the proceedings with a few haikus about the Muppet...

    Rare Talk Show appearance: Frank & Cookie

    1976, from a show hosted by Peter Gzowski (name unknown). Interesting to note how the audience loves Cookie to death, but goes silent when Frank is talking. Sheesh. Some audience. But I like how the host feeds Cookie...he's prepared.

    Overrated/Underrated Muppet Songs

    What are the most overrated/underrated songs from any Muppet TV show/production? I'll start with underrated songs: "Bert's Love Song" from Sesame Street's Love album. So beautiful, and Frank Oz delivers a startlingly good vocal performance. Same goes for "A Song from Kermit" and Chrissy and...

    "Whose Line is it Anyway?"

    You know, it's that comedy improvisation show where "everything is made up and the points don't matter." Drew Carey hosts and Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady are the stars. I just discovered this show this year...and I am hooked. Anyone else on this forum like this show? What are...

    "Dead Puppets Society" Appreciation Thread

    So Muppeteer Martin Robinson (the man inside Snuffy & under Telly) coined this term for the obscure SS characters that never caught on with audiences or were removed from the show after a while (Sam the Robot, Kingston Livingston III, Rodeo Rosie, Salesman, Nobel Price, Monty, and so on). This...

    Insert Question

    Hi all, I have been wondering who at CTW (now Sesame Workshop) had the responsibility of choosing inserts for each episode. What kind of method or process have the SS staff used to choose which inserts, and what order they go in? How do they decide which Muppet insert to put in (Ernie & Bert...

    The Funny Video Thread

    So I originally put this on the Funny Picture Thread a few days ago, but I was told to create a new thread. So I did. :) It doesn't have to be Muppet-related...it just has to be really funny :laugh: AND appropriate :attitude: for this forum. Let me start with these modern classics:

    cjd's Muppet Pencil Drawings

    I have been drawing the Muppets for years. It all started at the age of 4, with Sesame Street and the original Muppet movies from 1979-1984. Please enjoy my latest pieces of art, most of which are holiday-themed. I'm sorry about the quality of some of these: I tend to draw using heavy pencil...
