I don't think there's been a thread for the Muppet Sing-Alongs video series, but I just recently saw the last of the ones I previously hadn't and thought I'd start a thread. Here are my thoughts on the videos: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs It's a weird choice for the first Muppet sing-along...

The album Sesame Disco has two great songs - What Makes Music and The Happiest Street in the World (actually, all of the albums songs/tracks are great, but these are the two I am focusing on now). Which of the two is better? What Makes Music is the opening track, and it is a great opening...

A handful of new Sesame Street albums have been released, under a label called Sesame Street Catalog. When I first heard about them on the wiki, I assumed they were download-only, but it seems they are also available on CD, which makes me surprised that I didn't know about them before the...

Yesterday, Tough Pigs posted this article: http://www.toughpigs.com/the-muppets-taught-me-every-popular-song-ive-ever-heard-of/ It's about how most of the songs the writer knows are because of the Muppets performance (and at the end adds that every song after 1981 is because Weird Al Yankovic...

So it seems like we're close to the end of the figures from Diamond Select Toys, and I've been thinking today: Next time (if there is a next time) a toy company decides to do a Muppet toy line, should it focus exclusively on variants (or have variants before standard versions)? Palisades...

The two Sesame Street disco albums have songs that seem to be their theme for the album. Sesame Fever has the self-titled Sesame Street Fever.... And Sesame Disco has The Happiest Street in the World.... Though in the latters case, The Happiest Street in the World is not the opening...

The two Sesame Street disco albums, Sesame Street Fever and Sesame Disco, include different songs about trash, that I don't think were done on the show. "Fever" has "Trash" with Robin Gibb while "Disco" has Doin' the Trash with Oscar the Grouch. But which one do you all think is better? It is a...

Chapter 1 One day, Thog went to the park to look at butterflies. "Oh boy!", said Thog, "Butterflies!" Thog then found a bottle on a tree stump. The bottle had "Free Drink" on the label. "Free drink?", said Thog, "well, I am thirsty." So Thog took a drink. "Ah, that was...

It's been a long time since Bert and Ernie's apartment has been seen on the show (in part because it's been a long time since there were a lot of new Bert and Ernie segments.... at least in America), and one thing I've been wondering is if their apartment living room/bedroom set still exists or...
