    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Considering PBS can't air new episodes until after nine months, I wonder what Sesame Street content will air. There's only one season of half-hour versions, so will more episodes be edited down to 30 minutes, or will the hour-long episodes continue to be rerun on PBS, or will the show air less...

    Top 60 Muppet Moments

    It's the 60th anniversary of the Muppets (or should be, but there's no official celebration), so I thought I'd make a list of my top 60 Muppet moments. I had wanted to do this as a Muppet Mindset article, but I kept debating over whether to limit the moments to ones featuring the Disney-owned...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Denise's new design is hideous. Her head looks like it was made from something I'd expect to see on a badly-made doll or toy. Makes me wonder, if there are ever toys of Denise, would they qualify for Tough Pigs' Ugly Toy Contests? I don't think I've ever seen a Muppet with a head made from that...

    Jerry, Jim, Frank and Richard in season 12

    I've been thinking about this lately as well. I believe I even mentioned it somewhere on the forum this past week. I don't think Forgetful Jones being originated by Michael Earl rather than Richard Hunt would necessarily mean they weren't available. When interviewed for Tough Pigs, Michael...

    The Leslie Mostly Show with Guy Smiley

    Interestingly, with the known EKAs, it seems like season 12 had one Leslie Mostly sketch a week, with them appearing in either the second or third episode of the week. It's probably a coincidence (and if it's not, I wonder if CTW advertised "see your favorite characters interviewed by Leslie...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I know it appeared in Chuckie the Brave but that video came out a year or so after A Baby's Gotta Do What a Baby's Gotta Do. As a matter of fact, I now think it's interesting how Chuckie and Angelica got their own spotlight videos before Tommy did. Phil and Lil Double Trouble pretty much...

    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I thought it was odd how the logo appears at the end of the Couldn't We Ride clip. The show had special screens showing the logo before commercial breaks, but otherwise not in the footage shown before fading to black.

    Questions about anything

    In The Producers, reviews of the musical get printed and sold almost immediately after the show is over. I always figured this an exaggeration or "rule of funny", kind of like how in many cartoons a character can order something and it gets delivered right away. In fact I think such a comment is...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    For a few years, when watching We're All Monsters, the version with Kevin Clash's vocals, I noticed that Elmo's "he doesn't look like Elmo" seemed to be in good lip-sync. I expected the original line to be "he doesn't look like me". But now I see it and the line is "and he don't look like me"...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    We're All Monsters with the original voices, and not just the video with audio dubbed from the album release. And here's a rare Michael Earl performance as Forgetful Jones.

    Deena and Pearl

    I didn't expect them to have interact in street scenes. Actually, lately I've been wondering if maybe Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard were a little less available in season 12 than usual, even though there are segments with their characters that are known to have debuted then. This season sort of...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I feel like what appears to be the linking footage for the DVD looks very appropriate for video linking footage.

    A Breakdown of the Series' Timeline

    I guess now we're going to be at the start of a new era, with the show airing on HBO and being only 30 minutes, in addition to the new set and retirement of Sonia Manzano (and Fran Brill).

    Last night I dreamt that Sesame Street added a laugh track.

    The Leslie Mostly Show with Guy Smiley

    When I read the description of this one on the forum, I thought Leslie Mosly was at the restaurant, as opposed to in her studio. I wonder what was with the ending, with Grover saying "this is not my table!" Did he not like the question or not want to come to the studio? Weird that we get a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    The description for the Manny the Agent sketch says it's Brian Meehl doing his best impression of a Frank Oz character, but I don't see it. Some of Meehl's characters (Dr. Nobel Price, Clementine) sound a bit like some of Frank's characters (like Marvin Suggs). To me, Manny feels more like the...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I've been thinking about the first two Rugrats video releases - "A Baby's Got to Do What a Baby's Got to Do" and "Tales from the Crib". I've noticed that every episode in "A Baby's Got to Do What a Baby's got to Do" have all four of the main babies, but all the episodes on the original release...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I went to my grandparents' house, and they happened to sort of have two copies of the video Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff... Except they only had the box. Two boxes, no video. And the back of both boxes were cut off as well. And then I dreamt that I saw the Leslie...

    Diamond Select Toys to Produce new Muppet figures and mini mates!

    Looking at that, I was the one who asked the question, but wasn't aware that the answer had been answered. I guess that's what I get for only seeing these links are posted here or at Tough Pigs, as opposed to checking on my own. It's a shame that he's actually not allowed to answer.

    Deena and Pearl

    I wonder how well the duo would have interacted with other major characters. One YouTube comment came from somebody who remembers first seeing Deena in a scene with Telly (which may or may not have been her first major scene). Muppet Wiki has a still of a scene with Deena and Olivia (the episode...
