First, I am sorry that you lost your mother. Second, I think that is an outrageous comparison to make. I know that Sesame Street is very much intertwined with your life, but at the end of the day, you are not the show's target demo. This is not worth getting that upset over. Perhaps maybe take...

Watch Disney try to can it in a favor of another Marvel or Star Wars movie.

My sentiments, exactly! They'll happily show all the other prototype Muppets, but Pre-Kevin Clash Elmo appears to be off-limits. Even in the official press releases, they only acknowledge Elmo as having been around since 1984, as if they prior four years don't count.

Now if only the Muppet humor of today was as funny as this pitch.

Back when the humans were as valued as the Muppets, they made several book appearances, the vast majority of which were during the 1970s and '80s. However, by the 1990s, they pretty much stopped featuring them in books altogether, only making very rare appearances. To put it in hindsight, 19 of...

Kids have always preferred the Muppet to humans. The whole reason why the Muppets were integrated into the street scenes was because they were bored with just the humans. Yes, they did once play a bigger part in the show than they do now, but keep in mind, they were doing over 1000 shows a...

I mean, Rocket Power definitely wasn't one of Nickelodeon's best, but I did get a kick out of the random background gags that occurred out of nowhere. Of course, I can think of a lot worse things than Rocket Power, like users who impersonate real-life people or fake announcements for reboots of...

I'm so sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family.

So heartbroken. I had just met her last month at what I guess was now her final public appearance. Of course, I brought up that episode to her, and she was a delight to talk to (and very chatty). She will be dearly missed.

Don't worry, this wasn't directed towards you.

There's nothing wrong with being fixated on something you enjoy. Of course, you should not be fixated to a point where it becomes problematic for yourself and the people around you.

And we don't know if they either let him go or fired him, because we have two different stories of what allegedly happened.

I know, but one can still be slightly optimistic.

That's just enough people to do a potential 50th Anniversary special by 2026.

I can't see any of the iconic Muppets being phased out. They're more likely going to be reduced to having occasional and/or online exclusive appearances. However, there's a very good chance they're going to cut back on much of the human cast.

I feel like you could've condensed this post into one or two sentences, but to answer your question, I don't know, but it's not keeping me up at night.

Isn't that what Jason Siegel literally tried to do back in 2011?

The thing that really gets to me about this situation is how this is will hurt the entire Muppet fandom. Like, I know one bad apple can't define a fandom, but I worry that that might actually happen.

Yeah, I'm not a roller coaster person, so this kind of sucks there won't be a Muppet attraction that I'll be able to go on. Also, I have a feeling that this definitely was not in the works when the rumors initially spread of Muppet Vision closing. This seems like Disney's attempt to not make the...

I've been browsing the site since 2003, if that counts.
