    For the first time on YouTube ever...

    I'm with you there. I've been dying to see Out to Lunch for years. As for the 25th anniversary special, I'll watch it later on this week, and write down my thoughts on it.

    Muppeteer Fran Brill's official retirement

    I just found out the news today, and very disheartened by it since it's following Jerry Nelson's death, Kevin Clash's retirement, and cutbacks on the Sesame Street staff. Somehow, it's kind of coincides with Zoe's lesser appearances on Sesame Street in the past couple of seasons. Prairie Dawn...

    Jim Henson turns 78

    Wherever you are, Jim, I hope you fully understand how the world misses your magic and touch on our lives. Even though I'm still quite young, watching your works and contributions to our celebrity-driven mass media is refreshing, and makes me feel young again. Your legacy still lives on in our...

    Happy 55th Birthday, Steve Whitmire!

    Happy Birthday, Steve! I applaud you and Dave Goelz for continuing to perform and voice your Muppets ever since The Muppet Show during the late 1970s and early 1980s to our technology-driven future even when seniority begins to kick in around your age; and continuing to perform Jim's characters...

    Excellent Frank Oz Interview (2014)

    I watched the interview last Thursday, and thoroughly enjoyed a deeper insight into Frank Oz's life and career. Although I still haven't seen Muppets Most Wanted yet, I can understand Oz's attitude to the Disneyfication of the Muppets since the "affectionate anarchy" does seem too be missing in...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4504 - Numeric-Con

    Before I begin, I thought today's episode was the season premiere since new Sesame Street episodes tend to air on Thursdays so I missed the Ernie and Bert episode I was looking forward. I recorded the episode on my DVR this morning, and watched it this afternoon. Overall, it was an amusing...

    Henson projects status update

    I found that same article on Rotten Tomatoes yesterday, and I'm glad that it is confirmed that The Power of the Dark Crystal and the Fraggle Rock movie are still in development. I'm still disappointed that they (or Disney) cannot confirm a (Blu-Ray/DVD) release date for The Muppet Show Seasons...

    What is your all time favorite Muppet movie?

    My favorite Muppet movie is The Muppet Movie. It has a simple, yet heartwarming storyline that strangely mirrors Jim Henson's own life from escaping the advertising business and attempting to break into show business. There are memorable songs, great use of cameos, and a zany use of classic...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Well, I've been waiting for the "Lights, Camera, Bert!" episode for months, and my waiting has finally paid off. Besides the "Count Tribute" and "Still Life with Cookie" episode, this is my favorite episode of the season. Steve and Eric still carry a similar chemistry that Frank and Jim carry...

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

    Well, that was a fun commercial! It's nice to see the Muppets returning back to their roots by appearing in advertising commercials for products, but then again, they have doing marketing tie-ins for years. I adore the concept of a world of Animals that are so hectic with their lives that...

    Remembering John Henson

    I just heard the terrible news! It's so sudden and unexpected! :cry: While I may not know him personally, I'm thankful he kept Sweetums alive and active when Richard Hunt fell ill, and upheld the mantle after his death until The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. I'll keep John in my thoughts and prayers...

    TV Alert: The Muppets on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Finale February 7

    Woah, they uploaded the video pretty quick! I managed to catch their appearance just in time. Even though it wasn't directly a promotional advertisement for Muppets Most Wanted, it was a great performance of a classic song! And I thank Jimmy Fallon and his Late Night crew for bringing the...

    The Muppets premiering on Disney Channel and ABC Family in January

    I'm at disappointed that The Great Muppet Caper won't be premiering, but I'll be watching.

    TV Alert: "A New York Christmas to Remember" honoring Jane Henson airs Christmas Eve

    I recorded the program on my DVR, and I managed to watch it last night. I didn't know what to expect from the puppetry during the program, but I sure knew the puppetry wouldn't resemble the Muppets since Cheryl and Heather Henson own the Jim Henson Company, and not the Muppets. I was indeed...

    TV Alert: Sesame Street and Jimmy Fallon at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade November 28

    It sounded like a recording of Jerry Nelson to me. First off, I was a little confused when they said "Jimmy Fallon and the Roots with the Muppets". I was a little thrown off when I usually expect the Sesame Street Muppets, not Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Gonzo, and the gang. Overall, it was a...
