    The Muppets With Andrea Bocelli & David Foster: My Christmas

    Well lullabyes are SUPPOSED to put people to sleep! I actually liked his SST appearance and thought it was cute but i was a bit surprised that he actually slightly meandered off key! I guess when you've got such a hugely renowned singer on your show, it's hard to tell him (if anyone noticed...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    Parodies carry more a risk than straight cover versions because the artist being parodied may not initially know if they're a loving tribute or a total diss. The Muppets i think make it clear that their BR is strongly into the former category via the work itself but the fact they released it on...

    A thought about about full episode dvds.

    Season sets of hour long shows are more common and even though some of them are a little pricey upon initial release, the price comes down in time. Most of these have between 20-30 episodes in the set. Farscape had 22 episodes per season and they just had each season released in season sets...

    New Video: Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody!

    The name change is more just a legal/technical thing but Muppets-under-Disney have gone through three leaders. This is one of the main reasons it took so long for things to really get going - once one regime's plans were getting under way, they were replaced (well actually that was just the...

    The date Muppet fans will forever remember

    Well, the major Muppet comeback is not just being noticed by fans and bloggers, but also major enteratainment media. Look for People Magazine's Best of 2009 issue to name The Muppets as Comeback of the Year (not bad considering that their last Big Project was technically in 2008 - but as we all...

    The song that defines Christmas

    That question is one that lends itself to two types of answers: - What song does one feel embodies the spirit/meaning of Christmas via its own artistic merits, mostly the music/lyrics? - What song does one personally associate with Christmas - ie holds a personal meaning or memory, doesn't...

    Beaker's language in the news

    If i went to that school, i'd probably just start saying Bleep instead. Or as i said in the original thread about this, i'd actually be more likely to just start saying Meemee which is closer to how Beaker really talks despite most printed material spelling it with a P

    USPS offers Kermit Cancellation Postmark

    Yeah - that got my mind whirring when i saw it too... There's already been Muppet stamps...if that hadn't previously happened, that would have been my first guess. The USPS has been selling the cd with Delivering Christmas on it for at least a couple weeks now so if that was it, it seems...

    Wimzies House?

    I remember back in the day the first time i heard about that lawsuit, thinking it was rather harsh and even a little desperate. The Muppets left such a mark of puppetry in terms of technique and puppet building and setting a standard - it just seemed chilling to me that someone who made a...

    Season 40 Hidden Gems

    Don't think it's the milk carton - it has a cartoony looking animal on it but doesn't look like anything i recall from classic Sesame...just more a case of the usual fun props that are seen in Hooper's. Those pictures near the entrance door do appear to be the gem but you need to be able to see...

    Season 40 Hidden Gems

    Well, there should be another similar type cameo coming up from a long unseen Muppet, but i won't spoiler it for you if you hadn't heard about it. As per Guy Smiley, you're in luck - if you think seeing a silent walk-on from him would be cool, how about a street story where he not only talks...

    Any songs performed by Joey Mazzarino?

    I'm sure he has, but i'm not thinking of any off the top of my head. Given that he does so many one-shot characters on Sesame, that's probably the most likely source of hunting one down if i were to start a search. The only examples that immediately comes to mind would be regularly on Big Bag.

    The Muppets With Andrea Bocelli & David Foster: My Christmas

    I caught it as well. If you missed it though, don't feel too bad as it wasn't spectacular; it was fun but nothing to write home about. Still, since it's a pledge drive special, those who missed it may still want to check their local PBS listings to see if it will (re)air later this week or up...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit at the Macy's Parade

    If it seems that way, it's because in a sense that's just what they're doing. Only NBC has the rights to broadcasting the Macy's part of the show - using the name Macy's and all the performances that take place in front of Macy's. Any other network can still broadcast footage of the parade...

    Munchin Impossible Trailer and pilot leaked

    As Drteeth says, this is their latest project that could be either a standalone international show and/or a new segment for US Sesame (hey, they're rolling out 26 five minute episodes - so i think it's safe to say we'll see these in each season 41 episode!) There's a brief mention of it in...

    La La La...

    The use of la-la's encourage children to sing along when they don't know all the words. Let's not forget Big Bird's favorite "La la la" song he sings to himself. Plus "Elmo's Song"

    Mirror Mask

    MirrorMask came about as Jim Henson Company originally wanting to do a Labyrinth sequel but didn't have the budget at the time. Instead they chose to do something Labyrinth-inspired. There were a couple of making-of books about the movie you may want to hunt down - the team talk about how it...
