    Looking for a downloadable version of 'Time Piece'

    Anyone know where I can find one? Anyone have a file they can e-mail to me? The clip on iTunes can't be downloaded outside of America, so is there anyone who can throw a bone of wisdom to this salivating Australian dog?

    Basic info on Henson's early work

    Hi all, I'm in the middle of preparing film unit for my year 8 English class. The unit is going to be focused on the use of puppetry and animatronic characters, so will naturally have some heavy Henson content. Does anyone know of any sort of source out there that gives basic info on Jim...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    That's very true, and unfortunately much of the debate doesn't cover this issue of the effect of commercialisation on education. I still live in fear that one day in the not-too-distant future high schools are going to open McDonald's canteens on campus and the syllabus will mysteriously change...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    The frenzy over the Old School DVDs (my two cents) It seems that Australian TV's beloved Channel 10 has pretty much lived up to its own dodgy news standards. Not only is it jumping on the bandwagon of making unwarranted fuss, it is also jumping on it somewhere in the region of a month or two...

    Blue Muppets

    There really isn't a correct 'specific' forum for this, so here will have to do. I'm trying to get a list of all blue Muppet characters. Off the top of my head I can think of: Grover Cookie Monster Herry Gonzo Sam the Eagle Tutter from BITBBH any others come to mind?

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I meant, fans will always want to see EVERYTHING Legalities will never be able to allow EVERYTHING, and that it's inevitable that there will always be something missing. I wasn't suggesting that people would be throwing chairs at each other a la Jerry Springer

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I guess it's inevitable that the fans who watch and the legal teams who guard these releases will never completely see eye-to-eye, but Sesame Workshop seemed to be incredibly considerate this time. Admitting that the show has grown-up fans, promising something Elmo-free and releasing as much as...

    Reviewing DVDs

    I was thinking of submitting a couple of reviews for Muppet-related DVDs that aren't yet reviewed on the site. There's something that has me scratching my head, though: When you are reviewing a DVD release of some movie/project/special that existed long before the actual DVD is, should the...

    Happy birthday Jim, wherever you are

    It's already September 24th here in Australia, so I thought I'd jump in with a birthday memorium for the man whom I can only describe as my life's greatest influence. From the simplest notion that puppets can have flexible faces for this crazy new medium called television, grew the icon of a...

    Anyone got a spare 400 bucks?

    The scary thing is that considering how hardcore some collectors are, one is still left wondering if your post was written with or without sarcasm
