found this interesting article http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/06/09/the-7-little-known-secrets-to-sesame-streets-success/ Seems that Cookie is now the most popular character, though that kinda seemed obvious lately haha. Thoughts?

That's sad to hear if true. Especially coming from a show which made a valid effort to increase the number of female characters present. To have 1 of the most prominent in recent years (Zoe) and have the one that paved the way for the other girls (Prairie) be phased out of the show is quite...

New Sesame special? What is it?

I'm overwhelmingly sad by this news. As someone stated, it does feel like the end of an era. However, I wish her the best in her retirement. Ms. Brill was a big part of my Sesame experience, and I will always cherish the great memories she brought to the show and my childhood.

Really? Hmm. I've felt that this season is the first in a long time in which SS has had that "ensemble" feel again. I know it's still early in the season, but outside of the usual Elmo & Abby and the always superior Grover and Cookie moments/segments, this season has been promising. The...

This could've totally been the perfect opening song in an ensemble street story.

Whoever's voicing Ernie is the same guy who's done his voice in the past 2 Sesame Street Live shows, Can't Stop Singing (2012) and Make A New Friend (2013). I believe his name is Billy Barkhurst. http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Billy_Barkhurst I will say, he does sound closer to Jim Henson in...

I love how Joey at times (at the beginning) talks to the audience in his regular voice while still puppeteering Murray, lol.

On another note, does anyone know why Steve Whitmire isn't featured in the puppeteer bios? I know he's not a 'regular' as much but he does play a principal character with Ernie.

I've never been more excited for a sesame street season the way I am now! Season 45 looks very promising, especially considering they appear to be focusing more on other characters just besides Elmo and Abby. I'm looking forward to the Best Friends day episode, since it'll seem like a good Zoe...

Does anyone know of any upcoming appearances with Mr. Spinney?

I wonder who's doing Big Bird since Matt is performing The Count. Couldn't be Carroll since that's Matt's Big Bird puppet they're using.

SO I JUST SAW THE GREATEST THING POSTED ON INSTAGRAM!! They're filming Word of the Day segments, and guess who's making an appearance with Murray at the Staten Island zoo.... BIG BIRD!! Even if it may be a one time thing this season, I hope it convinces the writers to use Bird more for...

Interesting there, Sesame Lover. Are you involved with the show?
