    Those stupid CGI talking-animal movies...

    I guess they should've made a better trailer for "Ratatouille." Sort of like the beginning of the "Simpsons Movie" trailer (parodying CGI), where it starts with a narration and writing on the screen (with quick cuts or Remy) saying something like... "Once upon a time... there was a set of...

    Those stupid CGI talking-animal movies...

    Ah. Man, if Pixar DID make one of those talking-animal films like the ones I described, I'm gonna lose my mind! :zany: I guess it was the fact that the trailers and ads for "Ratatouille" showed a lot of slapstick rat scenes just scared me away from seeing it, having seen so many ads for...

    Those stupid CGI talking-animal movies...

    I seem to be the only one that noticed that an unfortunate trend Hollywood's been doing since 2001 is doing CGI animated movies where the main characters are talking animals! These films often have celebrity/big name actors in the voice cast, crude "Ren and Stimpy"-style humor, pop songs...

    Don Music

    I imagine they just edited it onto the sketches that didn't have the opening logo. They did that with a few regular News Flash segments that didn't have the intro.

    Don Music

    I think Don Music's funny. I picture this scenario from little kids watching him... Don Music: Oh I'll never get it, oh I'm sorry Ludwig, OH! (BAAAAAAAAAANG!) Kids Watching: Hey, let's bang our heads! (BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!) :zany: Actually, the Don/Kermit segments aren't neccesarily...

    "Get Out, Stay Out, Don't You Go Back In" song

    I didn't know about a Chris Cerf song called "Get Out and Stay Out." The song was actually mainly sung by a firefighting wolf that was voiced by Jerry Nelson! :D It seems that it could be one of those animated remakes of old Sesame songs with Jerry singing it.

    could Herry have initially been intended to be generic?

    The Herry puppet was also often used for the Big Bad Wolf as well. I think by the late 1970s, Herry was supposed to be Jerry Nelson's main character, until the Count stole much of Herry's thunder (pun intended! :zany: )

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    I still say "Family Guy" should do a parody of "Sesame Street News," "Monsterpiece Theater" or "The Adventures of Super Grover!" They could even recreate their title cards and (hopefully) get Jerry Nelson to do the announcer voices for the respective parodies.

    Remembering Richard Hunt

    I loved Richard Hunt's performance in "Letter B." It was his best song he ever sang.

    Scooby-Doo meets the Muppet Babies: "Decoy for a Dognapper"

    Maybe I'll have the adult Muppets for "The New Scooby-Doo Movies" :) BTW, I also did "Mine Your Own Business" as well

    Scooby-Doo meets the Muppet Babies: "Decoy for a Dognapper"

    Another entry in my Scooby-Doo/Muppet Babies crossover series, this one is "Decoy for a Dognapper." The voice cast includes the same cast from "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?" and "Jim Henson's Muppet Babies," with Dave Coulier as Baby Animal and Baby Bunsen, and Frank Welker does quadruple-duty as...

    Remember these details of early 1990s episodes?

    I think "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was featured in an episode with the Count's Countketeers.

    Kermit SST Material Pro's and Con's

    Maybe SesameWorkshop could get permission from the Muppets Holding Company to have the entire Muppet Show gang make a guest appearance in a "Sesame Street" episode! ;) It'd be easy for the Muppeteers, since many of them work on both shows (Dave Golez could make his SS comeback, and Eric Jacobson...

    Sesame Workshop launches video.sesameworkshop.org

    I like it, even though they edited some of the segments. Several of the old Monsterpiece Theater skits have the Green Curtain intro, and "The 39 Stairs" has all-new Alistair Cookie footage, and some of the old Sesame Street News segments have the post-1986 News Flash logo tacked on. But it was...

    Changes that you actually liked

    The way they were trying to put Abby Cadabby in each episodes as possible this season reminds me of how in Season 4 (1972) they were trying to put Count von Count in as many material as possible. Whether it was meeting other Muppets behind the brick wall, in his castle, and there was even a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuMX10X2hn0 Nanto reuploaded the Sesame Street News skit with the bird's separated parents! And it is logo-free and has the NEWS FLASH intro intact!

    Changes that you actually liked

    I liked it when they changed the Baby Bear puppet in 1998. The older one looked ugly! And I also like the new nighttime closing music introduced this past season. But I must note, when Marty Robinson first started performing Telly, it sounded similar to Brian Muehl's Telly voice, but then...

    In Development: Henson's Fraggle Rock Movie

    Don't forget that highly-overrated new talking-animal movie released this year: "Ratatouille." I'm avoiding that one, mainly because I'm sick and tired of those computer-animated talking-animal films with their crude "Ren and Stimpy"-type humor and big-name celebrities.

    Abby Cadabby Balloon in Macy's Thanksgiving parade

    The Harmonica closing theme was used during the shot with the Abby Cadabby balloon. But when they were talking about the Sesame Street float, the 1992-2006 closing credits theme was playing in the background. It would make sense, since it was still in use with they introduced "Elmo's World"...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    What surprises me is that last season they taught "danger." The Little Jerry song "Danger" is rather out of date and unacceptable to be shown today... but maybe "Danger's No Stranger" is up-to-date and "hip" enough to be rerun :zany: The Pinball Number Count can still be shown, and I know it was...
