    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter

    That was the most laughs I’ve gotten out of a piece of Muppet media since the 2011 movie. This was exactly what the Muppets needed. The stuff with Maya Rudolph was probably some of the best stuff in the whole special. I do like that they took advantage of the wide shots of the theater that they...

    "Sesame Street Classics" full episodes debut on YouTube

    Yeah, I think it's clear these full episode releases they're doing are primarily ones that had already been released on other platforms.

    "Sesame Street Classics" full episodes debut on YouTube

    It could also be that it's the day after New Years on a Friday and maybe they're still on winter break.

    Video: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter Teaser Trailer

    I have no idea what to expect of this. I would very much like this to succeed. At the same time, however, being that this will be Disney's The Muppet Show, I worry it won't have the same edge the original show did. I want to see chaos ensue like in the original series, but I'm worried Disney...

    Sesame Street Season 56

    First, I am sorry that you lost your mother. Second, I think that is an outrageous comparison to make. I know that Sesame Street is very much intertwined with your life, but at the end of the day, you are not the show's target demo. This is not worth getting that upset over. Perhaps maybe take...

    Miss Piggy movie in the works

    Watch Disney try to can it in a favor of another Marvel or Star Wars movie.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    My sentiments, exactly! They'll happily show all the other prototype Muppets, but Pre-Kevin Clash Elmo appears to be off-limits. Even in the official press releases, they only acknowledge Elmo as having been around since 1984, as if they prior four years don't count.

    The Muppets present pitch reel unleashed

    Now if only the Muppet humor of today was as funny as this pitch.

    Thoughts on the lack of adult human characters on Sesame Street?

    Back when the humans were as valued as the Muppets, they made several book appearances, the vast majority of which were during the 1970s and '80s. However, by the 1990s, they pretty much stopped featuring them in books altogether, only making very rare appearances. To put it in hindsight, 19 of...

    Thoughts on the lack of adult human characters on Sesame Street?

    Kids have always preferred the Muppet to humans. The whole reason why the Muppets were integrated into the street scenes was because they were bored with just the humans. Yes, they did once play a bigger part in the show than they do now, but keep in mind, they were doing over 1000 shows a...

    Rocket Power

    I mean, Rocket Power definitely wasn't one of Nickelodeon's best, but I did get a kick out of the random background gags that occurred out of nowhere. Of course, I can think of a lot worse things than Rocket Power, like users who impersonate real-life people or fake announcements for reboots of...

    RIP Muppet Show Guests

    So heartbroken. I had just met her last month at what I guess was now her final public appearance. Of course, I brought up that episode to her, and she was a delight to talk to (and very chatty). She will be dearly missed.

    Sesame Street Season 56 to debut on Netflix and PBS; 90 hours of previous episodes coming exclusively to Netflix

    There's nothing wrong with being fixated on something you enjoy. Of course, you should not be fixated to a point where it becomes problematic for yourself and the people around you.
