    Does anybody think you're weird for watching Sesame Street?

    It's like abusing your teachers to malign Sesame Street! Getting in touch with youth and innocence through watching SS is not at all immature in my mind. It's also fantastic for aspiring puppeteers and puppet makers to watch da mastahs at work, how they can interact with us and capture our...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    One that scared me was when Ernie and Bert were exploring this pyramid, and Ernie is frightened standing next to a mummy that looks oddly like him. Everytime Bert would leave Ernie, the mummy would poke or laugh at Ernie, and even dance with him. Ernie would scream for Bert to come and see the...

    How to start making puppets?

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Yo! I am a noob! But not a noob to Henson's work in the least. I've grown up with his classic Muppet film, Fraggle Rock, and of course Sesame Street. Ever since I was a little monster, I've been obsessed with making and performing with puppets. I recently had the pleasure of talking to Rick Lyon...
