The Mr. Blue Sky performance showed how the Muppet performers could have another career as singers. The Kermit bit was a nice message about how we need to do more to care for the environment.

Joe Hennes: You and I were the driving force behind the Kerfuffle. (Jarrod Fairclough groans) By which I mean revealing the news of the Kerfuffle. Just to give some clarity, the Kerfuffle is what we call the drama, the news, all the stories surrounding Steve Whitmire being let go from the...

Fair warning to everyone who saw this: The Barretta Brothers are doing a whole show about this at 7 PM eastern time. So feel free to ask them questions about it.

Rizzo only flipped poker chips. The rats who talked were Bubba, Yolanda and a generic rat.

This special was a ton of fun. Johnny and Sal having a pretty sizable role was great. I liked that Rizzo just had a two-second cameo because they didn't recast him. It was a good way to incorporate him. The music was also really good. I love Bill and Matt's vocals in Dancing in the Moonlight.

Sometimes the ToughPigs make me so jealous: ,

CBS reporter: So if Jim really understood the characters, you have been pretty critical of Disney for not sorta getting these characters. Frank Oz: Not critical, it's weird. The trouble with print is they can't print tone, and my tone wasn't combative, my tone is hopeful and pleating. Because...

I finally got around to seeing this. Seeing Jon Stone's kids interviewed was a nice treat. I really liked seeing all the behind-the-scenes footage and outtakes, plus the footage of the cast and crew singing Put Down the Duckie.

When Matt became Kermit, he recommended Peter Linz to be Robin, but kept playing everyone else. I don't think we have to worry. Still as JD Hansel said, "He really does do a lot of performing and directing, that I don't know how he manages to stay so energetic when he's doing something like...

This looks freakin' amazing! I wonder if Brian is performing Sal, or if it's someone very convincing.

If Sesame and Shout are still making DVDs, what in the world prevented them from putting the Wish Pickle special on DVD?

I know, but the way Alex phrased it made it sound like he was criticizing Ryan, which I don't think he deserves.

It's not really his fault, Ryan's natural voice is in a tenor range, so because of that, Elmo sings in a higher range than he did when Kevin played him. They should have changed the instrumental track to fit Ryan's key better. I still think Ryan is great at singing as Elmo. Just hear his version...

Someone was kind enough to put a bunch of episodes of the Sesame podcast into one place: The animal episode is at 17:28, the birthday episode is at 35:30, the doctor episode is at 52:56, the monster episode is at 1:11:00, and the superhero episode is at 1:29:07. Also one of the episodes that's...

David Rudman: There was a Sesame bit, cause I started doing Cookie right around 2000, and Frank and I shared it for a few years, so when Frank would come in, he would play Cookie, and when he was gone, I would do it. So they wrote this bit that Cookie and Grover were in together, and Frank was...

Joe Hennes: So Kynan, what was Save the Muppets? Kynan Barker: It was a massive overreaction to Disney wanting to cast extra performers. When I say overreaction, I'm still against that idea, the idea of multiple Kermits, a cruseship Kermit, a shopping mall Kermit and a movie Kermit. But the...

We finally got an interview with Joey after his departure from Sesame:

The songs were the best part of the special. I also liked Grover struggling to find the pet fair and Oscar showing his soft spot for Tango.

I liked how Cookie shared his food with the cute chick puppet in Monster Foodies.

I liked that it wasn't just Kermit singing Rainbow Connection. His bits with Vanessa Williams throughout the show were fun.
