    Abby Cadabby plugs "5 Hour Energy!"

    This is based off an annoying commercial I have to see every day I work at Walmart, and there was a part that reminded me of a certain Sesame Street Muppet, I thought I'd let her take a stab at it! ... (The setting's in front of the 123 Sesame Street apartment. Abby Cadabby stands next to a...

    Muppeteer Fran Brill's official retirement

    It is pretty sad. No more Zoe or Prairie Dawn... I also remember Fran Brill narrating this as well (she also voiced Maria, renamed as "Dolores")...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4501 - School for Chickens

    Interesting they changed the format again a bit, but it's kind of about time. I wonder how long they will also continue to use the 2009 intro? I'll probably give it maybe two more years before they replace it again...

    New Mexico episodes

    How nice! I hope you don't mind if I then take the News Flash segment about the Five Little Pigs and upload it onto my YouTube channel as a separate video, so that can be back on YouTube again!

    Bert has a screaming meltdown and bangs his head

    I seem to recall hearing somewhere that would often be cut because they were worried kids would imitate Bert's head-banging. But then along came Don Music...

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    The Humpty Dumpty news segment now has the original black-and-white "NEWS FLASH" logo at the start; initially it had the 1986 logo tacked onto the beginning (and you could briefly see part of the old logo when fading into the segment), this version is still used on the official Sesame Street...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yeah, it's sad about the loss of Mr. Haney's voice actor. His voice was noticeably old-sounding in Season 16's "Get Smart." Miss Turner (the librarian)'s voice actress is also sounding pretty old nowadays, too. However, compare Season 17 with Season 16. The animation is slightly improved: the...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    As for "M is for Mystery," Sesame Workshop seems really hesitant to release "Mysterious Theater" onto home video (maybe they think it will scare kids?) A mystery-themed DVD like this would be a PERFECT way to release one of them to home video (hopefully the "Missing Cat" one.) Or if not, maybe...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yeah, I remember finding Bushman Bill kinda weird as a kid, but the song sure is fun. I wonder who voiced the three female singers? (I doubt they were even Muppet performers; it's likely they could've simply gotten a female vocal group to sing the song, and had the puppets lip-sync to the...

    Big Bird and the loss of Looney Tunes...

    Ah, but remember what I made Gordon say: "And Big Bird, Boomerang shows them, even though we don't get that channel here on Sesame Street. Not a lot of people do!" Plus, this was meant to be a spoof, even though I am sure they'll come back when "Wabbit" gets nearer and nearer. In the original...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yep, I noticed that too. I remember characters often dashing off in the same exaggerated manner as the characters in "The Busy World of Richard Scarry" in some early episodes. Kind of unusual for a show that's meant to resemble real life (but with anthropomorphic animals in Marc Brown's style.)...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Well, it's official. "Arthur" is now the second longest-running North American animated series, with seventeen seasons and counting (second behind "The Simpsons," of course.) I am actually very impressed by that... (BTW, third is "South Park," and then "King of the Hill," but that will soon be...

    Big Bird and the loss of Looney Tunes...

    As of this week, Cartoon Network no longer airs any classic Looney Tunes shorts. (They even took off classic "Tom and Jerry!") It may just be for the summer, but you never know. And then this reminded me, on the old Golden Age Cartoons forum I was a member of, in 2004 a member wrote up a spoof...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Not to mention the train the Muppets ride on for their world tour, with an old-fashioned steam locomotive and old-style Pullman cars! But then again, we did see it alongside a modern Amtrak Superliner train at the Los Angeles Union Station, and one of those ICE trains (I think) in Germany...

    Your Thoughts: "Muppets Most Wanted" Theatrical Film

    Saw it today with my brother. It was lots of fun, but not as good as the first film. I liked how Sam the Eagle had a prominent role, along with appearances by Link Hogthrob, Mildred, Pops, Uncle Deadly and others! I also enjoyed the sequel song at the start, the Muppets' old run-down steam train...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    AKOM's best animation on the show was probably the 1988-1989 years. It was at least up to par with some of their Tiny Toons work, and even THERE they had some sloppy moments. There were even a couple of episodes credited to different studios: one to Wang and one to Kennedy, but they were both...

    Video: New Lipton Tea Ad with Kermit, Piggy and Animal

    Saw the commercial today when I was in the waiting room at a doctors' office so I can get a drug test done (getting a new job here!) I really loved it! I especially liked the Muppet Babies reference with Baby Animal :halo: (This is the first time I've seen Baby Animal with more red to his face...

    Video: Crack Master Sesame Street animation

    Heh, I actually had a weird dream relating to this segment last night, where I was with some drama group and we were going to do a live reenactment of this segment, and it was mostly the same except there was a "crack kangaroo" with the camel, hen and monkey as well! I was going to play said...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    That would make sense. All those Marvel shows I mentioned were also animated by TOEI, and aside from those they were probably also busy with their animes, so I can't blame them for having such a large workload. It wasn't until 1986-1987 when they began working with AKOM in Korea, though I don't...

    Little Muppet Monsters Revelation...

    If I recall, 1985 was a pretty busy year for Marvel Productions. In addition to "Muppets Babies and Monsters," this was also when "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero" became a main syndicated series (65 episodes in the first season!), and there was also the second season of "Transformers," and I...
