I don't know the character, but . . . Um, y'know, uh--if it has a pouch, it's pretty much gotta be female. Unless the toy makers were really confused. But I have no idea who that is. If you hadn't mentioned the tag saying "Jim Henson" on it, I would've said it didn't even look like a Muppet...

Telly and Freddy Personally I was really impressed with the way they had Telly so concerned about Freddy's feelings. I was ALWAYS that way with certain stuffed animals and other toys (not all of them, just the special ones). I never wanted them to feel left out and I worried that one might be...

Well, I DID go and look the day of the official release; I tried Borders, but they didn't have any in stock--it was something they could order, but it wasn't in the store. Since then, I haven't really had time to look for it . . . plus my responsible side is telling me again to wait since I...

I have ordered from KillerToys a few times, without any trouble, but I've never preordered anything. The fact that they won't answer your e-mails is a bad sign, especially if you've been e-mailing since May, as the post dates indicate. That makes me think I won't be ordering from them again...

Well I'll be happy to be proven wrong about thinking they wouldn't make an Oct. 24 release date. And as for including "C Is for Cookie" and such--well of course they're going to. If they didn't, they'd have thousands of people saying "What?!? Where's 'C Is for Cookie' [or "Rubber Duckie" or...

Where to Buy I picked this set up this morning at Target for 39.99 plus tax. I had already stopped by a Best Buy to check their price, since last year they had season 1 on sale its first week--but I didn't see any copies at all there! Weird. It was right after they opened--it's possible they...

Wishes and Kids Well, here in Nashville the new episode (4119) did air today, so here's my review: Yay Sesame Street!! - for including two really funny lines in the street segment: Alan’s “a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter” (a reference to an old Sesame Street skit...

Ask Oscar Yay Sesame Street!! - for having Telly star in the street segment and remembering that in the days before Baby Bear he was the foil and luckless sidekick of Oscar. - for including Baby Natasha, who isn't seen very often. - for integrating the letter of the day with the street...

A Friendly Fiend Replies Oh, I grant you, Elmo's World is much worse than JTE ever was. But JTE was still awful, and I'm still very happy that it's gone. It had only two virtues, in my opinion: it was always followed by an Ernie skit, and it allowed us to see the Two-Headed Monster again. But...

The sheep were ordinary-looking animated sheep from head to hips, but their legs were bare and rather curvaceous. Only by the legs would you know they were female. They stood upright--only two feet on the ground--and danced in a semi-Rockettes style.

I felt the need to drag this thread back up to the top, since, you know, the release date is tomorrow. But, oh, I was planning to put off buying it because I really shouldn't spend the money right now, and then I checked Amazon to be sure the release date hadn't changed . . . and I saw the...

I don't care for it, but I'll take it any episode over Journey to Ernie. On the Get Up Play stuff they're not using Muppet characters and dumbing them down, which is what JTE did. JTE also took up a lot more time than these Get Up Play pieces are taking. Of course, part of the reason I'm not...

Where's Abby? I really feel like someone (the media? Sesame Workshop?) has made fools of us. We got all worked up debating whether she'd be good or not and it turns out . . . it doesn't matter. If she's only on two episodes (or, as someone suggested, she's going to show up later on only one...

The Jelmo Show Yay Sesame Street!! - for integrating the letter of the day with the street segment (as they did with the honeymoon H episode). All too often the "letter of the day" is totally detached from everything else in the show and has no meaning. - for writing the J words on the screen...

One of my friends saw this on the shelf with my other Muppet movies and asked how it was. I told her, "Well, a Muppet purist wouldn't own it, but a Muppet completist would." So she said that made plain which type I was. It isn't Muppet "canon"--that is, it won't fit into the "true" Muppet...

Looks more like an unfinished Miss Piggy head (an early stage of a muppet-head-in-progress) than like a prop. Maybe the info was incorrect? The e-Bay seller says the guy at the store told him this tale--and "guys at the store" are very often wrong, either from ignorance or from lying to make a...

The back of vol. 1 of Return to Labyrinth includes a 25-page preview of the upcoming Dark Crystal graphic novel. If you want to see, stroll over to the manga section of a large-sized bookstore and take a look. In stark contrast to the shoddy drawing in Return to Labyrinth, the Dark Crystal...

I read vol. 1 last week. From posts in other threads I was expecting the writing to be absolutely horrible, but it wasn't. Just so-so. What was horrible was the drawing. Despite what the inside back cover says about Chris Lie, the drawing looks like amatuerish fan art. The layout of panels on...

Cookie Monster vs. Matt Lauer: A really great segment. I loved it completely. And when the first background Muppet showed up with a sign saying "Marry me Mindy" I was just howling (er . . . laughing a lot). Cookie's probably the best-played character on the show right now, and I'm so glad he's...

Y'know, I just gotta say HIT deserves big big big applause for the extra contents of their Fraggle releases. Not just interviews with actual cast members and production staff, but a reproduction booklet with original illustrations from the early planning! And in season 1, we got the Henson...
