    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Makes sense; I suppose we can say Jim Henson was like the Disney of puppetry, while Sid and Marty Krofft were like the Hanna-Barbera of puppetry!

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I do wish Disney was still doing 2D hand-drawn animation, even if they just limit it to classic-style shorts for the time being; they'd still look great. (After all, Disney started out with shorts.) "The Princess and the Frog" wasn't as big a hit Disney hoped (but it was definitely more...

    Miss Muffet skit narrated by Gina

    Another thread bump! I found the sketch in Spanish, on an episode of "Barrio Sesamo." It's at 12:04 - 14:28... I also learned according to Muppet Wiki it's referred to as Little Miss Muffet: "The Continuing Story," and that Kathy Mullen performed Little Miss Muffet while Camille Bonora was the...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Just think of it being like if Jerry Nelson performed Kermit! :zany:

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    That wouldn't surprise me, as David Rudman has taken over many of Richard Hunt's characters. (I'd like to see him take on Forgetful Jones some day!) Though I think Rickey Boyd could make a good Beaker. Listen to his performance as Bag in the short-lived "Big Bag" TV series from the 90s; the...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Wow, Matt Vogel seems to take over a LOT of Muppets. Like Big Bird, Count von Count, Sweetums, Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand... Though I think the best job he's done taking over an existing Muppet character would have to be Uncle Deadly, also a former Jerry Nelson character. But besides that, if...

    Soundtrack to "The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover" video!

    The above link is outdated, so here's an updated version with an additional cue found!

    Soundtrack to "The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover" video!

    It's ALMOST the complete soundtrack, but I have now been able to locate nearly all of the background music cues from the 1985 Golden Book Video story "The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover" from "Five Sesame Street Stories", a video I grew up watching as a kid. All of the music here comes from...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4715 - Meet Julia

    The episode didn't air on WGBH-2 today! Instead it was a rerun of "Enthusiastic Penelope Penguin!" :( Oh well, off to YouTube! Now that I saw it, I really enjoyed the main street story a lot. I'm going to really like Julia.

    April Fools: "Sesame Street" to drop ALL human cast members!

    I just heard from SesameWorkshop that for Season 50, which will be the really big anniversary season of the show, they will be getting rid of any and all human cast members of "Sesame Street," so that the live-action portions will be all Muppets! The exceptions will be guest stars, a few kids...

    Where are the older humans?

    That really sucks they've cut back on the human cast. They even got rid of some of the more newer human characters like Leela! It won't be the same without the human cast I grew up with. Sure, Mr. Hooper and David were already dead when I was watching the show as a tot, but we still had Gordon...

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    I saw Herry Monster on the Sesame Street float! Good to see him back in action! Just Elmo and Abby Cadabby were in the nest with Big Bird. They're still the two main Muppet stars it seems, with Big Bird as their sidekick... When they introduced the float, they played an instrumental of the...
