    Muppeteers Peter Linz and Tyler Bunch Suffer Major Losses

    Both stories are absolutely heartbreaking, and such a shame these tragedies affected such talented and great people. I don't know Peter well, only met him briefly once, but Tyler I've met a few times now over the years and is always lovely. It's also very upsetting, because what he went through...

    "Julie's Greenroom" series with Julie Andrews coming to Netflix in 2017

    This project sounds wonderful! And it's filmed not far from me on Long Island. There's a great film studio out in Bethpage where a lot of new stuff is being filmed, including Kevin James' new TV show, this and I think a few movies as well.

    Morning with the Muppets

    Yeah I know they had someone else performing him recently, but I didn't know Steve was out of the picture for good until he discussed this at the event. He said it was a "long story" curious to know what happened there, and rather disappointed to hear. I think he did a great job with Ernie.

    Morning with the Muppets

    What question did you ask? I was there! I had a great time and also thought the panel was a lot of fun. I am thrilled when I learn new things at these events, or hear stories I haven't heard before. I was also thrilled when Steve Whitmire gave me a shout out in the middle of telling some great...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I agree with you on this. Unfortunately, now that Disney owns the Marvel and Star wars franchises as well, Muppets is very low on their priority list. Sad but true. Plus their classic characters are getting a new life with the show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. My 2 year old god daughter LOVES Minnie...

    ABC officially cancels "The Muppets"

    I am deeply disappointed in this on so many levels. I thought the show was improving as the season went on, the writing was getting better, the interactions and different character plot lines improving, etc. But the other side of the coin, unfortunately is this doesn't surprise me. ABC has a...

    Morning with the Muppets

    Hate to say it probably not only because NYC is a major city, has major media coverage, etc. NY Media Mag that owns Vulture who's running this is based out of NY so here they are again.

    Scathing Elmo Article

    Whenever I discuss with people how Sesame has changed in recent years, etc. I always say the same thing: I'm not in their demo anymore. And it's the truth, sadly. I WILL say this, there is still some great writing on it, and I still smile/chuckle when I do catch it, but I don't watch regularly...

    The Muppets Episode 16 - Because...Love

    I've really loved this first season, and people who know me personally or at least well online for a long time know that I have not been a huge fan of a lot of stuff they've done since Jim's passing. But I thought this series was very well done from out of the gate, and I think if it gets a...

    Your Thoughts: "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"

    Absolutely. We saw the screening of the film when it premiered at the NY Doc festival in November of 2014. Jerry's widow, Jan was sitting a few rows behind us. I started bawling. And Yes i cried through most of the film as well.
