    What is your least favorite Muppet Movie?

    Copying D'Snowth's format, I have rated the movies on a four-star scale. After reading this thread, it is apparent that I am one of the few who genuinely didn't hate IAVMMCM. Maybe it's because it came out at a time when I was still young and loving everything the Muppets did, but I still...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    After reviewing all the street scenes again I have to say that my favorite is "Finish the Splat." I love the fact that the street looks populated with all the kids and humans, the great dynamic between Abby and Oscar (they need to be paired up more often- comedy gold!), the way the episode was...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Caroll also has an apartment in the city so it's not like he travels to and from his home in New England every day he works. He is happy to stay in the city whenever he works. He is just as available as anyone else.

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Yeah, and I'm glad kids can still see him in the repeat episodes, but making appearances in inserts like the alphabet song don't do anything for showing him as a character. Some street stories could easily substitute the likes of Elmo or Abby with Big Bird. They don't need so many street...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Am I the only one sensing a lack of Big Bird in these street stories? From the descriptions given, he only appears in one and that seems like a bit cameo part ("Big appears and says the painting looks great" is about all it says). I realize that some of the episodes don't have descriptions yet...

    How CAN You Get to Sesame Street Anymore?

    This has driven me crazy for a long time. They still have the backdrops at the nest-side of the street. However when the shot was showing it (like in this picture) they blocked the bottom with miscellaneous fences and brick walls. It almost seems like Sesame Street is sort of a cul-de-sac/...

    The future of Sesame Street

    Not true. At all. I know Caroll personally, and let me say that he happily obliges whenever he is written into an episode. He loves working. The fact that he isn't on the show that much any more is not due to him to say the least. Whether or not the producers and writers think because he is...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    No it hasn't. A show that has been on for 44 years needs to expand and evolve in order to meet the needs of today's children. The show still did what it aimed to do from the start. Children now who watch the show get just as much, if not more, educational fulfillment than when the show...

    Has Herry been retired?

    Well, Herry's presence on the show would certainly be welcomed by me. However, in a 26-episode format with long-runners like Big Bird and E&B appearing less and less, it might be difficult. I agree that with Kevin's departure there might be a more even distribution of characters throughout the...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    So, aside from a few books and such, Sesame Street's 40th anniversary sort of came and went without too much hullabaloo. Since they made such a big deal out of the 35th (two anniversary specials, a crap load of merchandise, celebrity introductions to every episode, and much more) I was surprised...

    So... Sesame Street Season 44!

    Sorry, I haven't been keeping up with this thread as much as I should so if anyone has posted this already, I apologize for being repetitive. Desiree Casado is no longer listed on the SesameStreet.org Cast List for the show, but Ismael Cruz Cordova is. So I think it is safe to assume she will...

    More scandal rocking Sesame Street: Roscoe Orman leaves ex

    A man leaves his longtime partner and gets re-married. I'm sorry but THIS IS NOT A SCANDAL. It's not even news. This, I'm sorry, is garbage. The fact that this woman is approaching the press now (coincidentally as she is packing up boxes THREE YEARS after he "left her") during a year of...

    One thing I've JUST noticed...

    They moved to a MUCH smaller studio, and compromises had to be made. The steps were taken away, and I believe that's why it is just a garage again, not Gina's veterinary service or anything anymore. It doesn't need as much space.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Porridge Art: I was expecting more from Bobby Moynihan... I was kind of disappointed with his appearance. All in all, this episode was interesting. Baby Bear can get kind of annoying when he appears in a whole episode, but I'm not going to lie: I chuckled at "Powwwwiiiiddddggggeeee...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Wow... Bob's appearing in "Great Vibrations," too. That makes THREE appearances by Bob this season. That's more than he has made in a single season in a long time. It's kind of sad that this is the case, seeing as it is only three episodes, but I'll take what I can get. Sort of like Susan making...

    Video: New Elmo premieres at the 2013 Easter Egg Roll

    I actually think Ryan did a great job. It must have been crazy nerve-wracking to step into this role so soon after the character was thrust into international media attention. The voice I thought was very close in pitch and personality and the movements and interactions were spot on. If Ryan is...

    Rumor: New Sesame Street Movie in the Works

    The one thing that concerns me is that Joey (whom I like very much. He;s a great guy and great writer) has admitted that he has trouble writing for Big Bird. Obviously I'm a little biassed toward BB but still. I've noticed him showing up in a miniscule amount of episodes in the seasons since...

    The "What Seems to Be in Store for Season 43" Thread

    Alright, I visited the set to visit Caroll one day (and I think I mentioned this in a thread about season 42 because I didn't know which season it would be in) but there is an episode about Big Bird and Snuffy playing the Letter of the Day Game. They are given clues, including a talking box...
