Here's a teleplay that CTW produced back in the 80s, adapted from a mystery novel written by Virginia Hamilton: In my Grade 6 reading class, we read the novel, then watched the movie for comparison . . . however, because my Grade 6 reading class was particularly rowdy and disruptive, we ended...

https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/thad-mumford-dead-dies-african-american-writer-mash-1202942657/ Both a M*A*S*H and a Sesame writer, I think we can all agree that the songs and such he's written for Sesame have been some really memorable gems from years past:

(Play this while reading) I've been on MC long enough to notice every once in a while, strange occurences happen around here, and some even controversial involving members or former members. Whatever the circumstances are, or whatever has happened, it's safe to say that even MC has its share...

Many people tend of think of him as Howard Borden from THE BOB NEWHART SHOW, but for me, he will always be Major Roger Healey from I DREAM OF JEANNIE. Another really sad loss.

Legendary actor Burt Reynolds passed away today of a heart attack at the age of 82. It's interesting that just a couple of years ago, he was in my hometown filming an indie movie with Chevy Chase and Ariel Winter . . . I guess that was his last role ever.

And the new viral video sensation from SS, is Bert and Ernie of Sesame Street, a parody of the theme song from The Fesh Pince of Blair: The parody is cute and amusing, but the overall video is sloppy. Once again, unless the studio isn't entirely at their own disposal (which is often the case...

I'm just curious, but if a puppet's foam shell were fabricated on the inside, as well as the outside, in a lining of sorts, would that sort of help slow down the aging process of the foam?

Just found out about this show: https://www.fuse.tv/shows/the-hollywood-puppet-show#latest It kind of reminds me of some of Sid & Marty Kroffts' early work prior to their television career.

As previously reported by ToughPigs, and floating around Facebook today, you could enter for a chance to win to sing karaoke with Kermit the Frog . . . for charity. https://www.omaze.com/experiences/kermit-karaoke-jim-henson I remember donating to Ben Stiller's Omaze charity campaign last year...

In initials, at least. https://www.cbs.com/shows/total-knock-out/ Wonder if we need to bring in the Thundercloud Studios lawyers in on this?

So apparently this was uploaded just a day ago: MC is used for reference, and even a few MCers such as @sesameguy, @Xerus, and @gavry3 get mentions for their discussions as well.

Yep. They went there. http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2018/05/28/solo-flops-after-killing-the-muppets-with-leftist-politics-disney-murders-star-wars/

So this video was in my recommended on YouTube today, even though it apparently was made three weeks ago: Some of the information is inaccurate, but I suppose we can't expect the ordinary joes to be the experts we are about these kinds of things.

Caroll has evidently started a "farewell tour" this year, beginning with a stop off at the Great Philadelphia Comic Con this spring: http://www.philadelphiacomiccon.com/project/caroll-spinney/ So, if you still haven't had the opportunity to meet Caroll, and you happen to see he'll be in your...

Matt Vogel posted about this on Facebook this morning, but in May, Puppets for Puppetry will be having a special honor for Caroll Spinney, co-sponsored by the Jim Henson Company and Sesame Workshop, and benefitting the Center for Puppetry Arts. Great to see Caroll receive the recognition he...

This sounds interesting. . . . https://www.theverge.com/games/2017/11/14/16650052/nintendo-movie-illumination-entertainment-minions

For as long as I can remember studying puppetry for almost fifteen years, machine sewing was always a big no-no, everything had to be hand-sewn for a variety of different reasons: better control of stitching, better attention to detail, better at hiding seams, among other things. I even remember...

Okay . . . this is fake news, right? http://www.clickhole.com/article/new-era-jim-henson-company-making-big-birds-finger-4631

Somebody already brought this up in the Steve thread since Frank does weigh in on Steve's termination, however, I figured the entire interview should be shared for people to read and see how much Frank still very much cares about the Muppets and the integrity that he feels is being lost because...
