The New Weekly Survey Thread

[MikaelaMuppet]

I feel for you, . I did something really wrong when I was in school, too. I kept calling my friend and leaving funny messages on his phone over and over and he wouldn't reply. A few days later, I found out that the reason he wasn't replying was because his mom died after a long battle with cancer. Even though I didn't know, I felt really bad that I would frequently say funny things to an 11-year-old kid who lost his mom and I apologized to him and even though he wasn't mad at me, I still felt wrong about it.

Well that's good.

Same here, but I've also seen Jerry Seinfeld and Bob Newhart on separate occasions, not to mention the numerous musical artists I've seen over the years from Weird Al to Hall & Oates to Earth, Wind & Fire.

[D'Snowth]

1. Of course, I've actually been anticipating her to eventually become a Muppet since her creation for storybook and web material.
2. So far so good, not too many complaints.
3. Yes, this should be most interesting.
4. Considering Key and Peele were instrumental in those SST parody skits on MADtv (Key being Gordon and Peele being Big Bird), that would be interesting to see.
5. The retro redesign of Hooper's - particularly the neon sign.
6. Either the Arbor area, or removing Big Bird's construction doors.
7. All of the above. I mean hey, if I got to spend a day on SST, I would cram in as much as I could.
8. As great as they all are together, Jim and Frank are perhaps the ultimate dynamite duo.
9. PIRATE RADIO. Just imagine: Cookie works for a radio station that's operated by a bunch of pirate AMs! Scurvy!
10. Uncle Lou.

 

[Schfifty]

1. Yeah! Since her introduction a while ago, I've been pumped for when she would finally become a Muppet, and she did.
2. I haven't watched it, but it seems to be rolling along fine. I like that Zoe's gotten more screentime again.
3. Yes...I am curious to see how it will go, especially with the voice cast and computer animation instead of 2D.
4. N/A
5. If you mean from a couple years ago, giving Hooper's Store the retro look with the classic black-and-yellow checkerboard pattern.
6. Pre-2015: Removal of the Around the Corner set. Post-2015: Relocating Oscar's trash can.
7. Fly with Super Grover. I mean, what's better than having the ability to fly and take to soaring heights, exploring the world from an amazing perspective?
8. Ditto what D'Snowth said. Although, I particularly love seeing Caroll Spinney and Marty Robinson perform together.
9. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Or make that "Cookie Monster's Day Off."
10. What?

6. Pre-2015: Removal of the Around the Corner set. Post-2015: Relocating Oscar's trash can.

I actually did mean as of Season 46, but if we're going to go that route as well, a favorite set change of mine pre-2015 was the addition of the Mail-It Shop: not that I didn't like the ol' familiar Fix-It Shop, but the Mail-It Shop brought a nice updated feel to the street that gave it just a little more realism - especially with its neon signs and everything.

Least favorite would have to be either the way they redesigned the carriage house for Season 39, or when the whole set looked too clean and too antiseptic during the ATC era.
