    Influx of new members

    A question I'm sure is on everyone's mind: has there been a noticeable increase in people checking out MC or signing up to the forums? It seems like there'd be a tidal wave of people checking it out. I wish Phil had the money to promote the site more. I hope people been discovering here, mindset...

    Best "Occupy Sesame Street" Pictures and Spoofs!

    Even as a veteran of protests and a fellow liberal, I'm starting to become a bit annoyed by all this "Occupy" stuff. I then discovered there was a lot of people doing "Occupy Sesame Street" spoofs as a parody of "Occupy Wall Street".

    Report: 2 Years Should Be Playing Instead of TV Viewing

    Just as it's been widely known that parents shouldn't be stuffing their Walmart carts full of high fructose corn fast food garbage and sodas to feed their kids every day, new reports strong suggest young toddlers and babies should be playing and have their imagination fostered...not sat in front...

    "Being Elmo" now in select theaters

    I have to admit, as much as I've been critical of the Elmo character, this documentary just looks insanely good. Powerful, moving...just wow. Also this is a Muppet documentary all around, not just specifically Sesame Street from what I can gather. Trailer: I got to meet Kevin Clash, but had...

    Muppets.com Videos Now On Youtube!

    Quite a few of the Muppets.com clips, which at times were cumbersome to watch on the muppets site in 2008, are now on youtube. Also on this channel looks to be a ton of newer interviews, rare clips and even some Henson Alternative stuff. Such a treasure trove of goodies...

    Is It Possible To Date/Marry A Non Muppet Fan?

    I was thinking...I know opposites attract, but I realized I don't think there's any way I could be with someone who wasn't at least somewhat a fan of the Muppets or Jim Henson's body of work. To me it's a litmus test if someone is kind, warm, imaginative, silly, loving and believes in the things...

    Finally Got My Animated Show Up!

    After being a part of this forum for awhile, I'm super excited to finally show you some of my work. For years I had been wanting to get into animation, and start making shorts based on an older webcomic I did. Problem was I had no idea how to approach it other than the painstakingly insane...

    The End Of What We Grew Up With As Kids

    MC poster DrTooth and I have long bandied about the notion of how so much of the stuff we grew up with in the 1980's and 1990's has been done away with. When old Sesame Street episodes have to come with a parental advisory warning, certain cereals done away with or all the creative/imaginative...

    Funniest SS Skit In Ages: Spidermonster!

    Usually Sesame skits will elicit a slight "heh" or smile from me...but this new skit, I found myself laughing my argyle socks off. (I think in part because I know the whole debacle of what they're parodying) But this is by far my new Grover/Fat Blue riff...

    Segal Might Love The Classic Muppets...

    I was thinking about all the articles exhaustively showing Segal is a dyed in the wool hardcore Muppet fanboy like many of us. It's almost startling to see it, something we're not used to. As he single handedly insisted he make a flagship Muppet epic...something Disney didn't have to do, and in...

    Will there be a big Muppet gathering this year?

    It's been ten years since Muppetfest in Santa Monica, California. Who here says it's time to have another big Muppet fan gathering? Star Wars, Trek, even Firefly fans have official gatherings all the time. With the D23 expo across from Disneyland coming up in late August, you know they're going...

    Is It Normal For A Diz Film To Have No Hype?

    Just wondering if it's a normal thing for the big Holiday Disney tentpole to have not one single shred of promotional material, teaser trailer, teaser poster, etc eight months before release? Now I know eight months may seem like a lot, but Disney is known for releasing teaser trailers and...

    Where's The Old School People At?(1998-2002)

    I was thinking about how wonderful it is this site still exists, and how it's essentially kind of like a laid back online "Cheers"(tho everyone doesnt know your name!) But now and then I kind of feel nostalgic and miss the 1998-2002 period. Kind of curious whatever happened to a lot of...

    Uh Oh...What's Disney Thinking?

    A lot of us have begun to forgive Disney for their massive blunders and faux paus(like destroying their 2d department, the very thing that made them Disney) due to what theyve been doing with the Muppets, and creating amazing new genre films like Tron Legacy. Meanwhile, Disneyland itself...

    What Surprises Will The Film Hold?

    Something I haven't seen discussed yet...I wonder what everyone here is hoping for or can guess as to what easter eggs, fan service, or "noooo way?" moments will be there? My guesses: - Walter will be seen, or at least reference, going on Muppet fan forums and blogs/sites - We'll have at...

It looks like there was a bunch of toys to coincide with Muppets Tonight and Muppet Treasure Island(as well as for Aliens in the Family) This was back when Muppets Tonight was being called "Muppets On Air"(after it was tentatively titled Muppets...
