    Lending Tree commercial with Lenny from the Jim Henson Company

    What does "that smell" in Lenny's line at the end of the commercial refer to? And why is Lenny asking if anybody else at that bank smells BS?

    Why does Disney still allow Sesame Workshop to use the term "Muppet"?

    But the current generation of children who watch the current version of Sesame Street wouldn't necessarily know that it was once a co-production of Henson. And the people who were at the age for Sesame Street (and watched it) in the first few years that Disney owned the Muppets are now adults...

    Lending Tree commercial with Lenny from the Jim Henson Company

    Here's a Lending Tree commercial in which the mascot for Lending Tree, Lenny, was built by Jim Henson Creature Shop: 1. Why does Lenny take a whiff after listening to what the lender says in the commercial? 2. When Lenny says"I smell BS" does he mean that he smells the feces of a male cow...

    Why does Disney still allow Sesame Workshop to use the term "Muppet"?

    We know that the rights to the term "Muppet" were included in the sale of the Muppet characters from the Jim Henson Company to Disney in 2004. Three years earlier, the rights to the Sesame Street characters which had previously been co-owned by both Sesame Workshop (in those days it was called...

    Why was Bedtime Stories and Songs edited?

    As a matter of fact, Season 30 was what the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" was written in time for, and that's how I know that Don Music was abandoned because of complaints from parents that kids were imitating Don Music's head-banging.

    Why was Bedtime Stories and Songs edited?

    I was thinking the same thing-If Sesame Workshop still has the complaints from parents about children imitating Don Music's head-banging that got Don Music abandoned, maybe they could put them online.

    Why was Bedtime Stories and Songs edited?

    Well, did the inundation of complaints from parents about kids imitating Don Music's head banging come before or after the death of Don Music's performer, Dick Hunt?

    Why was Bedtime Stories and Songs edited?

    When Sing Yourself Silly came to DVD, they kept the Don Music segment in there. In fact, I was surprised they kept it because it came to DVD AFTER the character was discontinued because of complaints about kids imitating his head-banging.

    2001 People in Your Neighborhood See n Say

    Muppet Wikia says that in 2001 Mattel produced a See n Say of People in Your Neighborhood. One of the pictures to point the arrow at and pull the lever was Prairie Dawn as a judge. Does anybody know what the See n Say would say if one aimed the arrow at the aforementioned picture and pulled...

    Are Bert, Ernie, and Snuffleupagus still on Sesame Street?

    I hope they wouldn't do that. I didn't like the running gag of adults not believing Big Bird about Snuffy. Since I have read about why the running gag ended (they were worried this was teaching kids "Don't tell your parents if something unusual happened, they won't believe you"), I would want...

    Could Sesame Street possibly leave PBS in the future?

    I wonder if that's why at the end of 1999 well into 2000 the Boston PBS affiliate WGBH 2 aired Sesame Street at 5 PM on its sister channel WGBX select 44, which in those days aired programming for adults the majority of the weekday, while the main channel (WGBH 2) aired programming for kids from...

    Forgotten (to the general public) Mascots: The P-Pals (PBS Kids)

    Yes, I remember the P-Pals from when I was a kid. I also remember in 1997 there was a set of clips in between PBS shows called Read Earth that used to recommend books to the audience. Some of them were The Wump World by Bill Peet, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. Can somebody please upload these Read...

    fuzzygobo, if you were too old to watch the Richard Scarry videos that I mentioned, how did you know they existed?

    If they reboot Between the Lions what are your thoughts of a game similar to Wheel of Fortune with Theo as host and Cleo as letter turner?

    I talked about this in a previous thread and feel it is best for its own thread, so since I know that Cleo and Theo from Between the Lions made a comeback in 2021 for the 2021 ED Games Expo (as puppets, mind you, apparently the Theo puppet was rebuilt). Like I have said before, since Between...

    Why is the Richard Scarry's Best Videos Ever series out of print?

    Fun fact: Emily Perl Kingsley and Sharon Lerner were involved with the production of the first two videos in that series, and both were involved with Sesame Workshop, including involvement with Sesame Street books.

    Could Between the Lions ever come back?

    Thank you, but I was asking MuppetSpot how they know that Disney wouldn't give the rights to Darkwing Duck to a PBS Kids show.

    Could Between the Lions ever come back?

    How do you know? By the way, like I said, please understand I am on the autistic spectrum. The fanfiction I wrote a while back that you thought was nonsensical was from a weird dream that I had.

    Could Between the Lions ever come back?

    I read in the description of the Between the Lions episode "Red Parka Mary" that Leona has a friend named Sadie. What species of animal is Leona's friend Sadie?
