    Video: Happy 2020 with Kermit

    Matt's a little better as Kermit this time, but the shape of his head is all wrong; why are his eyes sinking into his head like that?

    RIP Marshall Efron

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/arts/television/marshall-efron-dead.html I know a few people on MC will probably know him best as the voice of the villainous Synonamess Botch from TWICE UPON A TIME.

    Video: 123 Good Night Song

    Have I ever mentioned before how poor their digital-exclusive content always looks? Either way, the song, admittedly, is kind of catchy, but nothing really spectacular. Have we seen this Elmo with the moving eye lids before? If we have, I don't remember. Leslie's performance also seems a little...

    The Muppets Aren't Funny Anymore

    A so-called "expert" in comedy talks about how comedy has somehow evolved into something even funnier in recent years, while providing examples of TMS not being funny anymore, or not holding up well: https://slate.com/culture/2019/09/2019-gist-comedy-evolution-cancel.html

    "Muppets Live Another Day" officially cancelled for Disney+ streaming service

    Okay, I'm confused now: https://deadline.com/2019/09/the-muppets-reboot-comedy-series-muppets-live-another-day-not-going-forward-dead-disney-plus-josh-gad-adam-horowitz-and-eddy-kitsis-1202730154/ So Disney was developing a scripted and an unscripted Muppet series for Disney+?

    Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) Ends Partnership with Sesame Street over Julia

    So, in other words, Julia is just a token who's being stereotyped in ways that are offensive to autistics out there: https://autisticadvocacy.org/2019/08/asan-has-ended-partnership-with-sesame-street/ To be fair, ARTHUR has been under similar criticism with their own autistic character who has...

    Gorillaz Appreciation Thread

    Why don't we already have a thread for this? I discovered Gorillaz completely by accident, and the story behind that is actually an amusing one. Somehow - and I don't even remember how - I stumbled onto some pics of a hot German girl's Noodle cosplay on deviantART many, many ages and moons ago...

    Repeated Episodes Muppet Wiki Page

    I just stumbled onto this page on Muppet Wiki, cataloging SS episodes that were repeated two seasons later over the years: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Sesame_Street_episodes_with_recycled_plots The title and description of this page call these episodes "recycled plots," but I feel like this...

    New John Lovelady Interview

    I haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing, but I swear, his natural voice sounds very much like a Muppet voice! http://hwcdn.libsyn.com/p/3/8/8/388d09bb63bc0977/UTP_EPISODE28.mp3 Interesting tidbit that he and Jim Henson coincidently went to the same school in Leland.

    Sesame U.S. Postage Stamps Coming in 2019

    Needless to say, I know what stamps I'll be using on Christmas cards this year! Interesting to see Herry get a stamp of his own; I guess this officially solidifies his comeback.

    Boy, is this forum dead today or what?

    Yeah, we used to have this thread, so I'm assuming Ed deleted it because this mysterious forum member who keeps insist all of his or her posts be deleted, for whatever reason, ruining threads for everybody else. I blame the Discord, but, like, MC hasn't seen much going on in a little while.

    Video: 12 Days of Christmas Cookies

    First we got "The Cookie Monster Nosh" for Halloween, then "The Turkey Gobble Wobble" for Thanksgiving . . . now, we've got "The 12 Days of Christmas Cookies" to finish out the holiday season! Wasn't expecting to see Forgetful Jones make a cameo, but I love how both Cookie and Elmo...

    Video: Do the Turkey Gobble Wobble

    Catchy song, fun video (but they seriously need an editor who's familiar with color correction), and is this the first time we've actually seen Abby's mom?

    The Cookie Monster Nosh!

    A brand new parody, just in time for Halloween!

    Moving Up the Ranks

    So this is something that's been intriguing me for years now, but it's only been recent discussions that have prompted me to make a thread about it. At any rate, something I've noticed about certain performers within the Henson organization - regardless of what they worked on (SS, TMS, FR...

    New Trivia Article about Follow That Bird

    https://metv.com/lists/10-fascinating-facts-you-never-knew-about-follow-that-bird Never heard the one about Elmo supposedly meant to have a larger role in the movie, though. I mean, I've never heard that one anywhere.
