    Sesame Street Breastfeeding Controversy

    I'm sure that episode of "Murray Had a Little Lamb" would raise a few eyebrows... Murray: "We're going to...BREASTFEEDING SCHOOL!" Ovejita: "Escuela de la lactancia materna!" Murray: "Yaaaaaay!" Seriously, the Buffy/Big Bird and Maria segments done back in the day got it just right. They...

    Do-It Yourself Doozer Constructions

    This might go under another category like "Fan Art" but whatever... I was wondering (as many of us have probably wondered over the years) how to make Doozer constructions out of interlocking plastic pieces (like from a children's building set). There have been a few attempts (I think) to make...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Happy Festival of the Bells to everyone! See you here same time, same thread next year!

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Well, I'm at least keeping this tradition alive as long as I can. If the Muppets can celebrate unity and diversity on a regular basis, then we can do the same thing, even if just for one minute a year. Ringing bells in the theater? Well, when I went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows...

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Anything that rings like a bell will do. Even jingling pocket change would work. :)

    Bringing Back the Bells...

    Hey everyone! Just bumping this thread up because it's that time of year again. For you newcomers, either read from the beginning of this thread or check out the Muppet Mindset's article on our yearly celebration. (I wonder if Ryan would be kind enough to mention it on the next Muppet Mindset...

    I Am a 'Walter'

    Hey everyone, Like everyone else 'round these parts and other major Muppet websites, I thought of an old thread that asked the question "What do Muppet fans call ourselves?" Y'know, some nickname. People who love to read are bookworms, Star Trek fans are "Trekkers", but what about us? Well, I...

    TV Alert: Muppets on Good Morning America November 17

    Rats, I missed this one. Can someone upload a link to it, please?

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    "You have to be careful with eggs..." (skip ahead to the 3:15 mark) ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRmN4KnfPxQ Seriously though, that street story was fun. Great to hear Jerry as Humpty Dumpty. I'm looking forward to the Mumford cameo, too. I always wondered what would happen if Abby...

    Are Gorgs vegetarians?

    Here's something I remember from "The Challenge". Red, Boober and Gobo are trapped under a bushel basket. Red: "I wonder what he (referring to Junior) wants with Fraggles." Boober: "Gobo, we don't taste good, do we?" Red: "I don't know, but still, I wonder what he wants with Fraggles."...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    That clip and the elusive "Crack Monster" one that actually did make it to air a few times. For those who don't know what that is, read about it here. Yeah, it's an actual, legit clip: http://tailotherat.blogspot.com/2009/04/i-go-see-cracks-again-part-one.html Make sure to read all four...

    "The Muppets: The Pig with the Froggy Tattoo" Teaser Trailer Online

    Well...if you want a Sesame Street cameo, you technically got one. I don't know who that "mystery Grover" is, but Beautiful Day monster is definitely in the movie. He's had history with both The Muppet Show and early Sesame Street sketches. And if you really want to stretch things, although...

    Miss Piggy's Gloves

    Ouch. I wouldn't understand why those would be "regular" shoes. I'm not a woman. "I'm not even a pig." ;) Piggy is seen in the latest OK Go video with open-toed shoes, but there's no toes from what I can see (maybe Piggy wears stockings that cover them up). She's got the purple gloves...

    Where in the world is Caroll Spinney?

    I can say for 100% certain that there will be at least ONE Sesame Street episode with Big Bird in it. I...well, I can't say much at this point because I don't know what's public knowledge and what isn't and I promised Sesame Workshop that I wouldn't talk about really specific things I saw or...

    Bert and Ernie Gay Rumor: Settled

    No, they aren't related...but it sure seemed like Bert was like an adult figure, didn't it? You always saw Ernie playing with the toys or coloring or whatever, you know, kids stuff. Meanwhile Bert would listen to music suitable for Lawrence Welk, grumble about having to clean the place up or...

    Bert and Ernie Gay Rumor: Settled

    When I was little, I thought Bert was Ernie's uncle for a while. Bert was old enough to have a job of some kind and pay the rent while looking after Ernie. When we try to think about how old they are, Bert is obviously the more mature one while Ernie is the kid. I don't see them as gay, but...

    NEW Muppet Poster

    Really, the only Muppet with sunglasses I want to see on a poster is this guy :cool: (ok, Clifford would be OK, too). I'm undecided on the big "M" logo. It's...OK, but where it looks like it's made out of felt is kind of weird. If it looked like it was made out of something besides Kermit's...

    Fraggle Parents?

    Terry Angus visits 'round these parts from time to time. I'd like to hear his take on it. Yeah, it was Richard Hunt performing the Storyteller in this episode, but still, he might have heard something discussed at one point. I could totally see Boober in the delivery room...er, cave, I guess...

    Fraggle Parents?

    Yep, she did. Here's the clip. It's at the 1:06 mark in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9iQMJTVsTs For more info: http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Episode_108:_The_Terrible_Tunnel "The Storyteller gives a hint as to how Fraggles are born: she mentioned that Fedora Fraggle was...
