To quote JD Hansel on his podcast: Matt's voice for the Count doesn't sound exactly like Jerry's voice for the Count, but it's hard to care about that when A: doing voices that are less character-y and more natural is always extremely difficult and B: he perfectly captures the Count's passion...

The bookends with Ernie and Bert were funny. The bit with Anthony Mackie was fun. Ryan and Leslie gave great performances as the ingredients. Nice to see Cookie's cameo in EW.

Shane, would you be willing to put the re-orchestrated songs on Vimeo or something? I assume you're not comfortable putting HBO Sesame on YT.

Would anyone be willing to put Two Heads Are Better Than One from the Facebook video on YT? That's the only one that had a significant edit.

This was amazing! I love that they got permission to use the actual music for the songs.

ALF: My big thing is I can't get over the humans' obsession with celebrities. Everybody wants to know about celebrities. Who cares? Don't they have lives of their own to be worried about? Who cares about who broke up with who, who went to rehab?

The cold open with Elmo and a bear, (that was John Kennedy right?), was fun. I was really impressed how they handled the Number of the Day being zero. It gives me hope that by next season, the new Letter and Number of the Day songs will be permanent. I liked Big Bird and Oscar appearing in EW...

Rachel Herrick finally weighed in on this:

Look at this message Peter sent me: https://www.facebook.com/peterlinzpuppeteer/posts/1128414190636484?comment_id=1128582800619623&ref=notif&notif_t=feed_comment&notif_id=1500348145830941 I hope this doesn't mean Billy's not with Sesame anymore, cause he's a talented performer.

The bookends with Elmo and Ernie were fun. It was great to see a new episode of Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures. Bert's bit in the new EW is the most dialogue any Muppet other than Elmo has had on the new EW so far.

To quote JD Hansel on his podcast: Here's what really ticked me off, when people would say "I don't know that he's done the voice as well in other movies, I thought the voice was closer in MCC", because I heard people say stuff like that, and it's like no. Steve Whitmire at a certain point, by...

Read this post from Jarrod and hopefully, you'll understand that even though you might be angry at Disney for this decision, you should still support any future Muppet projects: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/a-rock-a-hard-place/

Steve and JD made a fantastic podcast discussing this news and toasting Steve and Matt. Listen until 27:17, from 40:06 to 43:46, and from 54:35 to 1:05:20. http://muppethub.com/mft2/

Muppetmaker is actually Dan Becker from the Getting Felt Up Puppetry Podcast. He's interviewed and become friends with several of the Muppet performers, so it makes sense that he knew this before the rest of us did.

I'm really sad. Steve was an incredibly nice guy to me when I met him at the Center for Puppetry Arts back in April 2011. His Kermit is the one I grew up with, since I was born 4 years after Jim's passing. I really hope Matt's Kermit is really good and doesn't sound like Constantine's version of...

I really liked Twinkle Twinkle saying his song is "Yuge". That was obviously a jab at Trump. I also liked the sheep parody of Lady Gaga.

Steve Swanson has some funny things to say about Muppet Thoughts of the Week and JD Hansel explains to him why he should be glad they exist and not complain. Listen from 1:03:50 to 1:11:58: http://muppethub.com/mft1/

Listen to Steve Swanson's hilarious reaction when he hears that this movie might actually happen, and when he realizes why it takes so long for Henson projects to happen. Listen from 49:41 to 56:29: http://muppethub.com/mft1/

Since we need some laughs after hearing that Steve may or may not be leaving the Muppets, and some of us like @dwayne1115 and @JimAndFrank think Steve Swanson and JD Hansel are smart and funny, here they are talking about the new Dark Crystal series and making jokes about why it took them so...

From the premiere of Muppet Guys Talking. Dave Goelz: Jim relished diversity. And when I joined the company, there were all sorts of different people working in the workshop, and I looked around and thought "These are extreme characters, they would be unemployable in Silicon Valley, they're just...
