But didn't they use the Sesame Street Anything Muppets for that?

That's a great story. I'm so happy for you that he got a chance to look at your fan art and reply to it like that. I remember reading that Jim liked when fans made art of his creations in a positive light. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

Well I can certainly say that Jim Henson inspired my life a lot and continues to this day. I didn't know Jim passed away until later but I do remember going to Sesame Street Live at age 3, looking at the activity book of "Sleeping Birdie" and on possibly the last page, there was a very familiar...

I have definitely seen Spider Monster, that was really great. And quite topical too. lol I might need to see The Voice parody again, I barely remember anything with that. The Coffee Plant one sounds really good, I'll check that out as well. I noticed in those new ones with Grover and Mr...

One thing that I notice about the Muppet humor on Sesame on the current one compared to Classic Sesame Street is the humor seems to be more gentler. I think some of the key elements of Muppet humor was irreverence, slapstick, surreal weirdness (monsters and explosions) and anarchy wildness. I...

I totally agree 100%. I personally have always been old school when it comes to entertainment, I never was the person to follow the crowd, basically just liked what I liked. I felt The Muppets were part of the classic comedy slapstick genre like The Marx Brothers, Looney Tunes and The Three...

I had a friend of mine who knew all this cool stuff from the internet that I never knew about like steampunk fashion. And he told me about creapypasta and a lot of that stuff scares even me but it can be funny afterwords. I guess what it is, it's like fan fiction except it's done in horror...

I'm starting to realize that creapypasta has became quite an interesting meme. lol

Plus I think the other reason was quality of Jim's work because Jim like many artists strongly felt quality being a priority. There's been stories I've read in Street Gang regarding merchandising and even on Jim's Red Book Blog there was this situation over the milk carton advertisement for...

It would be strange if that was the actual plot because he already knew him on The Jim Henson Hour. I didn't mind Clifford being host, though I wished I seen more Kermit on the show perhaps like in a boss's office. Though I wished Clifford still had his sunglasses on. It's like Clifford with no...

I hope there will be an audio book version too. I have Street Gang on audio book as well as "It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things To Consider". next I need Bernie Brillstine's "Where Did I Go Right" on audio book. Just read the synopsis. Looks like it's going to be the untimely...

Where the first international Sesame Street Muppets build by the production crew and then later The Jim Henson workshop made better versions for them later? A lot of the early international characters don't even have that Muppet style but in later years from the late 70s, 80s and 90s they...

I'm just curious what the pilot was like. Was it like a slightly different version of the Michelle Pfeiffer episode? Kind of like The Muppet Show after the 2 pilots, I've read there was 2 or 3 different versions of the Juliet Prowse episode. Is there a pilot for Muppets Tonight? The reason why I...

I love it when Kermit gets out of control angry like that. That episode the Loretta Swit episode (I think) was totally one of my all time favorite episodes.

No wonder Bert's Twin brother Brad doesn't visit anymore. lol This totally reminds me of the old "Bert is Evil" sites. There's an image on the internet that always cracked me up and probably the most tame which is Bert crop circles. lol Wasn't there a website called "Grover becomes Bitter" or...

I think I have the hard head and nose one. And I think the fur was glued on to the skull because I notice a little bit of wear from the one I have. I love the old Sesame puppets, they look really close to the actual Muppets, only smaller. :)

You know, I often wondered about Muppet fans who grew up in the 1970s when The Muppet Show was on major network television. It must have been an exciting time. I know how exciting it was to see Muppets Tonight when they originally aired. And I'm so surprised of all the material that didn't make...
