    Little things we've noticed

    While I do have a soft spot for Zoe, I definitely understand your frustrations with her. As I mentioned before, my issue with Abby is that, while I do really enjoy her character, she has become overused and isn't always written consistently. During the block format that started in Season 40, it...

    Little things we've noticed

    It is definitely ironic to see you say that Zoe was "ruining" Elmo's character, especially as I have seen many people on the forum accuse Abby Cadabby to be the one to do that instead. While I’m fond of Zoe, I have to agree that the whole dynamic with Rocco was annoying and cringeworthy whenever...

    When you need to rant...

    I can't say I blame you for doing that. I've only lurked on Reddit a few times, but I never liked the vibe I got from it. In general, I prefer to stay away from social media. Aside from Muppet Central and YouTube, the only other websites I'm active on are Archive of Our Own and FanFiction.net...

    Little things we've noticed

    One of my favorite Sesame Street episodes to watch over the years is Episode 3793, where Herry Monster has a sleepover with Gabi, while Maria helps fix anything Herry accidentally breaks. I really miss seeing those characters on the show—Desiree Casado as Gabi, Sonia Manzano as Maria, and Jerry...

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

    I’m not surprised by this move, but honestly, I don’t have much interest in the newer episodes of Sesame Street, especially since Season 46. I have a lot of nostalgia for the show I grew up with, and I still care about it, but the recent seasons just don’t resonate with me as much. Fifteen or...

    Little things we've noticed

    "Alone in a Swamp" is definitely a fantastic song, and I’ve always really enjoyed the interactions between Grundgetta and Oscar, especially because of the incredible chemistry between Pam Arciero and Caroll Spinney. Personally, Pam Arciero is my favorite performer for Grundgetta, just as Caroll...

    PBS Kids was influential

    That’s a fair point, and you’re right to say that we don’t know for certain. However, Steve Whitmire has stated on more than one occasion that he was let go from Sesame Street due to the financial issues Sesame Workshop was facing, which made it increasingly difficult to fly him to New York to...

    PBS Kids was influential

    I completely agree—I really miss when Steve Whitmire performed Ernie. He brought such warmth, charm, and energy to the character during his time on Sesame Street. I was genuinely surprised and dismayed when he was abruptly let go and replaced in Season 45. It was also disappointing that much of...

    PBS Kids was influential

    I recently found videos of two of the 2006 PBS KIDS Ready to Learn promos. One is a spoof of C.S.I., featuring Ernie investigating alongside Ord from Dragon Tales and a girl, later joined by Bert, a mother, and her son—all set to the Peter Gunn theme. The other is a parody of American Idol...

    I am sorry to hear that. I truly wish the best for you, your aunt, and the rest of your family.

    Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Thread

    Personally, my favorite part of the Sonic movies is that Colleen O'Shaughnessey was allowed to reprise her role as Tails—especially when he gets a more expanded role in the sequels—and that she has been an active part of the press tours and marketing for these films. After all, she is one of my...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Personally, my favorite scenes with Little Jerry and the Monotones have always been the ones where they would interact with Gina. Those scenes were very charming and enjoyable to watch, and I do wish Sesame Street had more interactions and moments like these in recent years.

    Fran Brill is going to be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award

    I did not watch the Children's and Family Emmy Awards during last night, but I did find this video of Fran Brill being presented the Lifetime Achievement Award by Dave Goelz, along with a nice tribute from many of her friends and colleagues. She really does deserve to get this recognition and...

    Fran Brill is going to be honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award

    It has been announced during today that Fran Brill will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the third annual Children's & Family Emmy Awards on March 15. I hardly ever pay attention to award ceremonies in the entertainment industry, but it is very nice to see Fran Brill receive...

    I was very sad to hear that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away. I do offer my condolences to her family, and may she rest in peace.
