EXACTLY.

Yes, Caroll did the voice while Matt did the puppetry. Sometimes that happens if Caroll is not available to perform the puppet on the day. I think it still looked and sounded fine, in my opinion.

Yeah, Big Bird is always a great character to have go through multiple emotions because he plays them so well. He's not an outwardly gimmick-y character, so that just leaves him to play emotions truthfully that a child would experience. That was something that they really have done nicely in...

I'm always partial to a Big Bird-centered episode. I'm glad that the nest got a little love too, seeing as you maybe only see it once a season now. The story was okay. I particularly liked the Supreme Bird Court. (who played the middle Supreme Bird Court justice? I know the first and third were...

So, Bert goes from needing training wheels on his bike a few episodes ago to using an iPhone here? Actually, it doesn't surprise me. Most kids these days have smartphones before they can ride a two-wheeler. Oh America. Anyway, it would have been nice to have some other characters talk, but I...

I don't know what else I would expect from them. I'm just happy it's not just Murray doing all of them anymore.

Obviously, I'm partial to any episode that features Big Bird, And I'm pumped that this is technically the third street story THIS WEEK where he appeared! (He appeared in the background of Bert's story, and considering Big Bird's lack of airtime in recent seasons, I'm counting it.) And especially...

Thank you.

Excellent episode. Very funny. The Comic Book Guy Muppet was probably my favorite part. And again, I can listen to Nitya Vidyasagar sing all day every day. If she has a solo song in every episode, I wouldn't complain.

The transition to and from the CGI background to the real set was particularly distracting. If they wanted to add a backdrop to that part of the set (which I don't disagree with, because the layout of the street doesn't really resemble the layout of an actual street without something there) I...

Yeah, I don't know why Big Bird was performed by Caroll in the beginning of the street story but Matt at the end. But, I'm just glad Caroll is still performing the Bird in terms of both voice and puppetry, so I don't really care to what extent. And he is holding up quite well, if I do say so...

Live Thoughts on the Street Story: New bicycle shop is pretty cool. It looks like it's supposed to be Maria and Luis's new business. That's a cool change. It's always good to see Luis. This new guy's Ernie caught me off guard, even though I knew there was going to be a different performer. It...

I honestly think that's for the best. Ernie and Bert have gone numerous seasons at a time without appearing in a street scene because Steve is so busy with Disney. Well this season they are getting two street scenes. If replacing Steve was the way to go in order to get Ernie and Bert back on the...

Is Bert supposed to represent an adult? I honestly don't know anymore. We have two episodes this season: one where Bert needs training wheels, and another where Ernie keeps stealing Bert's smart phone. What? I don't understand.

I'm glad they are gradually replacing the Murray tune-ins. The new letter and number intros are a great way to show the extended cast of Muppets beyond just Murray. As for the street story, I don't understand why they started this season (which is an anniversary season, if they didn't remember)...

I totally get what your saying. Leslie is a fantastic performer and an incredibly sweet person, but I think the other women puppeteers should have equal time in the spotlight too, especially if they don't have major characters that have a lot of street stories. Plus,Leslie has such a distinct...

Okay, I did this last season. I am just going to comment on all the street stories at once, seeing as I haven't had the chance to post much as the season goes on. Again, the only street stories I will be commenting on are the ones online since school and such has prevented me from seeing any...

I didn't see Bob, which surprised me because it seems like he's always there. Susan, Gordon and Gina weren't there either. I don't think Chris has ever appeared on the float in his time on the show. All in all, I liked the appearance. A lot of people took to Twitter to express their disliking...

I loved this. I think Caroll rocked it. He told me Joey Mazzarino did primary puppetry for Oscar while he did Big Bird live. This whole segment was great. Hopefully they will have Big Bird and Oscar back!

No, he was there the whole time. I've spoken to him. He was there, just not written for.
