Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
JoAnns often has cotton versions of the flannel SST prints. I've also found some at quilt shops from time to time.
For Classic Muppets:
you can keep an eye on eBay for sheets, but the prints tend to be quite large.
You could scan in pictures and print them on premade fabric sheets...
As I understand it, Jamie is very busy with work these days. I haven't heard from him in a couple weeks either, but he has mentioned tons of work and little board time recently.
This is way off the topic of Muppets but I found it interesting...
I stumbled across this photo essay of a motorcycle trip through the Chernobyl area. It has a lot of information (like asphalt does not absorb radiation so the road is safe, stepping off the road is a different story) and some...
Sesame Workshop is Children's Television Workshop (CTW). Some years back they changed their name. Sesame Workshop (formerly CTW) owns SST and always has. PBS airs SST.
I believe Joan Ganz Cooney's (a driving force behind the creation of SST) exact words on the idea of Disney owning SST...
Count--
Sure thing. The quilt is made with calico fabrics-- cotton prints-- and one light weight fleece (for the Count's skin). There are very few solid fabrics, most of the fabrics 'read as solid' which means they look like a solid from a distance but as you get closer you see they are...
Wow-- I'm surprised this thread popped back up again after all this time.
Thanks. I need to get some new pictures up. I'm working on something different.
That is just wrong.
A friend of mine teaches Sunday School for preschoolers. One of the parents asked her what they tell the kids (2-4 year olds) about Easter. She said they tell them Easter means God loves them. They don't go on about the Easter Bunny but they don't give the kids...
They can't rerun old episodes of SST. Sesame Workshop signed a contract that puts old eps on Noggin (don't remember when that expires). Noggin scaled that back because kids weren't watching or responding to the old episodes. We may not like it, but the truth is, kids aren't engaged by the old...
I think the problem here is one of two completely different audiences. Remember, this wasn't strictly a 35th anniversary special made for prime time. This was also the first episode of the new season. Thus, it absolutely has to appeal to the 2, 3 and 4 year old who are the core SST audience...
I'll be interested to see the new Frances show-- I loved those books when I was a kid.
I think this is good. Disney wouldn't have made Fraggle a priority-- not with the entire Muppet catalog-- this could well mean Fraggle will be coming to DVD in the next few years....
CNN.com has an AP story on the 35th Anniversary up with a prominent link from their entertainment homepage. It's a decent article, though it has to reach back to last season's First Lady appearance to wrap the article:

You didn't miss much. Carol Duvall does a craft show for HGTV/DIY. This was her annual special coverage of the hobby and craft industry trade show. There was a lot of coverage of scrapbooking and polymar (spelling?) clay. John was on near the end. I think his entire segment lasted less than...
