    The oldest TRICK in the book: HOW DO Muppets SIP LIQUIDS through STRAWS?

    Also rember that a lot of stuff isn't shot live; easy to do then!

    Sesame Street for Adults?

    Hey, it's about time anyway. You wouldn't believe the number of literate people who are unable to fill out a job application.

    Ernie vs. Kermit - Could YOU tell the difference?

    We've been buying a lot of vintage SS cassettes lately, and it IS hard to tell, but not impossible - interestingly enough, my three-year-old can tell the difference better than I can!

    Musicians celebrate Sesame Street with a 3-disc CD boxed set

    I hope it's the original recordings from the show, and not "new" ones like on Elmopalooza!

    You can own an ELMO replica for 300 bucks!

    Something else just struck me about this - if this puppet is everything the builder says it is, he's selling it way too cheap. I've never sold a muppet-style puppet, but when we used to sell the original Celastic and wood profesionnal-size marionettes, we'd figure out all the material costs...

    You can own an ELMO replica for 300 bucks!

    Everything on any TV show like Sesame Street, including each character, is copywrighted. The guy on Ebay risks getting sued for infringement - and lest you think they don't go after individuals, think again - I've seen it happen in carnivals where they sell cheap foam things with muppet names on...

    How much do you think the average SESAME STREET actor gets paid?

    I believe that even Public Television uses union actors, so they're probably paid scale. An interesting bit of slightly off-topic trivia: Puppeteers are eligible to join SAG (screen actor's guild) because during Ronald Regan's tenor as president of SAG, he hired Bob Baker's marionettes to do...

    Sesame Street video tackles kids' fears and focuses on terror

    Looks like they used the episodes that aired with the new season just after Sept. 11; good ones, both of them. I'll be interested to see the video...

    More Elmo's World segments, please

    Rather than fighting, maybe an episode on feelings? Surprised there isn't one already. Fighting (or, i guess NOT fighting) covers a lot of territory: sharing, anger, cooperating, frustration, fear, standing up for yourself...these could all be episodes! ps. I think a puppets episode...

    Sesame Street Specials

    Doesn't the universe implode if Disney and Muppets mix? :)

    What's the story with Sesame Park?

    It is important to remember that Sesame Workshop is trying to tailor programs to fit the needs of the specific viewers. Certainly, as a half-hispanic growing up in the 70s, Sesame Street offered me role models that just weren't around outside of West Side Story. But my other "half" is mostly...

    Ernie and Bert's floods

    So I'm curious, now What was the question, and what was the answer? I have to confess, I haven't seen Follow That Bird - but I couldn't stand Grouchland, even though I respect an awful lot of the people who worked on it.

    Koyaanisqatsi inspires Sesame art film?

    Been thinking about it a little more...was the concept something about night and day...maybe with some Joe Raposo music - not matching the Glass at all?

    Koyaanisqatsi inspires Sesame art film?

    You know, I vaguely remember that, too - something was done with the clouds sweeping by and the car lights on the expressway, wasn't it? Wish I could remember more...

    Sesame Street Theme used to torture Iraqi POWs

    How did they get the rights? I can't imagine SS condoning such activity. Hope they sue for copywright infringement.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 34

    I like Rosie O'Donnel, but I have to agree with Ssetta on that one. The Elmopalooza video & CD could have been much better. Why, oh, why, didn't they use the Aaron Neville "I Don't Want To Live On The Moon?" It's not that I don't like the version they used, just that the other one is...
