Thread Move I moved this thread to the General Discussion forum because Electric Company is not Sesame Street merchandise.

Try contacting the company and asking.

Because Peter Pan Peanutbutter has been has been around since 1928 (actually, it has been around longer, but was renamed Peter Pan in '28). That's the same year Walt Disney developed Mickey Mouse and 6 years before Donald Duck. By the time Disney released their film version of Peter Pan in...

I am editing this post because, last night, the media reported inaccurate information, leading to false joy. I apologize for the misinformation.

I was thinking about that. The blue fur could certainly be Cookie Monster fabric, the light blues on the legs, hands and beak would not be fabrics used on a Cookie Monster doll. I can't think of a Sesame character that is merchandized that would have that not-fuzzy light blue fabric. Seems a...

There was another auction listed as Cookie Monster with a blue Big Bird but it didn't have the tag. Not nearly as good without the tag. I want to see a yellow Elmo... and maybe they could mix up Zoe and Oscar and we could get a Season 1 Orange Oscar....

Did I miss something or is this a fabulous mistake? Note the tag on this ebay auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/SESAME-STREET-cookie-monster-doll-toy_W0QQitemZ6025799462QQcategoryZ19228QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Received the Disney Halloween catalog in the mail today and found some Muppety stuff (wouldn't exactly call it Muppety goodness). A reasonably cute infant Kermit costume Reasonably dreadful Piggy and Chef costumes (adult sizes) The usual assortment of t-shirts and sweats Piggy watch...

The LA Creature Shop. The Creature Shop is NOT closing. One office may close. Or be relocated. Or possibly something else we don't know about yet. Maybe the LA Shop will be expanded. Maybe they'll open a shop in New Zealand or Australia (with so much filming going on in that part of the...

The Creature Shop is NOT closing We've checked with reliable sources and this is inaccurate. The Creature Shop is not closing. The British film industry is not as profitable as it once was due to changes in UK tax laws and that combined with the exchange rate is causing many American...

Actually, there are a number of biographies on Jim Henson. Maybe not the sort of biography people are looking for as they are written for kids but that isn't really a bad thing-- Jim Henson is a great person for kids to read about and the Henson family deserves a little privacy. Anyway, here...

Saw this article on Americans not making healthy choices. Apparently Americans ignore healthy lifestyle advice and the people who give this sort of advice are looking for new and improved ways to get their message out there. Thought this tied in with the discussion on Cookie Monster and SST's...

Mass culture is an incredibly powerful force in society. I think we have a responsibility to look past the surface of entertainment and think about what it is saying. What it says about us as a society, what it teaches us, etc. In fact, this sort of thing is going on every day. Has anyone...

Yep, I'd bet that is from one of the wrap party parodies. Great stuff.

Count makes a lot of sense. Sesame Workshop puts out press releases (and preview videos) hyping the new season every year. If they can find something that will intrigue the press they get a pile of free publicity for the show and maybe rekindle some interest and pick up some new viewers...

Every year Sesame Street makes some changes. Every year they tweak things to better serve the needs of children as they see them. Some years there are more changes than others, but something is always different. They have some of the top child development specialists guiding them--...

Ryan White was born in 1971 with hemophophilia, a blood disorder that means his blood did not clot. Ryan received IVs of something called Factor VIII twice a week. Factor VIII contained the clotting agents he was missing but it was made from blood. In the 70s and early 80s we were just...

Happy Birthday!

Count, you had a high school sex ed class that talked about gender identity? Things must have changed a lot since I was in high school. Now I'm feeling really old. ;)

That's a comment on how Rowlf perceives Piggy, not on how Piggy sees herself. Gender identity is how one feels, not how others feel about them. It's a little tricky sometimes because terms like gender are often used inaccurately by the media, but gender identity refers to how one self identifies...
