    cjd's Muppet Pencil Drawings

    Thank you! As I said before, I erased a lot of mistakes in my drawings. The unclean spots are probably traces of these errors, which remained even when I scanned them. Also, the Muppet Christmas picture was the first time I tried drawing Walter. I intentionally put the iPhone in front of his...

    Sesame Place to open "Cookie's Monster Land" in 2014

    And once again, Oscar is placed here to represent Monsters...and he is NOT a Monster! Come on, he's a Grouch! They're different species. But I'm happy to see that Cookie is getting even more public attention, which I think is a little bit overdue.

    My Sesame Street fan art

    Hi there! That is some really great artwork! Very clean, bold lines and a unique style. You really made these Muppets your own! Personally, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like to see you create artwork of main Muppets like Elmo, Cookie Monster, Oscar, Big Bird, Grover, the Count, etc. or...

    Roosevelt Franklin may return in Sesame Street Season 45

    My only question is: who would be the new puppeteer if he were to have a speaking role? I can't think of anyone with a voice that holds a candle to Matt Robinson's.

    Automatonophobic mother fears daughter might buy a Muppet toy

    But look: technically, she associated the Muppets with that horribly ill old woman in the shop who was probably taking her last breaths right before the subject's eyes. Once you associate something with a traumatic experience, those two will always be tied together in some way, shape, or form...

    Automatonophobic mother fears daughter might buy a Muppet toy

    So let me get this straight...this lady's not afraid of ALL puppets. She's only afraid of the Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock. Well, if only she knew about the SNL Gorch puppets, the Dark Crystal characters, or the Muppet Treasure Island pirates, all of whom are a great deal more...

    Frank Oz Interview with Cookie Monster from 1976

    I posted a thread about this, which will probably be deleted soon. Whoops. I can't get over how the audience goes bonkers for Cookie Monster, and is so quiet when Frank is speaking about his puppeteering experiences. I don't know if that audience is being respectful or not by being so silent...

    Rare Talk Show appearance: Frank & Cookie

    1976, from a show hosted by Peter Gzowski (name unknown). Interesting to note how the audience loves Cookie to death, but goes silent when Frank is talking. Sheesh. Some audience. But I like how the host feeds Cookie...he's prepared.

    Who is your Fave Sesame Street Muppet?

    Well, I think that was more of a Caroll/Jerry/Richard period. Frank was busy with the beginning of his film directing career, so that's why I think we saw more of Big Bird, Oscar, the Count, Biff & Sully, Forgetful Jones, and other Muppets that were performed by people who were more readily...

    Who is your Fave Sesame Street Muppet?

    Agreed 100%. I think Frank is still one of the best actors in the business today, although ironically we never see him while he's acting. We only see his right hand with a puppet draped over it. Nonetheless, I think his best work with SS was in the 1970s and in the 1990s, for different reasons...

    Happy Birthday Matt Vogel!

    Happy Birthday Jerry 2.0! But seriously, thank you Matt for keeping Jerry Nelson's legacy alive! It means so much to us Muppet fans. If it hadn't been for you, we might not have seen the Count, Floyd Pepper, or Lew Zealand for some time. But it's like they've never been away. :batty:: Ah...

    Who is your Fave Sesame Street Muppet?

    Now that I think about it, I love Frank Oz's main characters from SS: Cookie Monster, Grover, and Bert. I just watched some Cookie videos, and it's truly amazing how Frank effortlessly brings such a charming and conflicted character to life. He knows the true essence of all his characters, and...

    Video: Favorite Jim Henson Muppet Moments

    Not to mention how incredibly gifted Jeff Moss was as a songwriter. He's also responsible for these gems featuring Jim's characters: May both of them rest in peace.

    Video: Favorite Jim Henson Muppet Moments

    And let's not forget this one from the Muppet Show, featuring the fabulous Dr. Teeth! I love how Jim could sing and talk so fast, and add that great comedic touch to whatever he did. Speaking of fast-talking... And on a different note, a beautiful rendition of the alphabet with Kermit &...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I've made a Queen playlist. So far, I've listened to these songs: Don't Stop Me Now Another One Bites the Dust Radio Ga-Ga We Will Rock You We Are the Champions Under Pressure (with David Bowie on vocals) ... and then about 30 other songs in between. Bohemian Rhapsody is the last tune in the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Does anyone know if there is video of the "0" skit with Oscar and the Count? I've been dying to see it (and I'm sure other people have been too), but I can't find it anywhere. Please post it when/if it is found. Thanks!
