What are the most overrated/underrated songs from any Muppet TV show/production? I'll start with underrated songs: "Bert's Love Song" from Sesame Street's Love album. So beautiful, and Frank Oz delivers a startlingly good vocal performance. Same goes for "A Song from Kermit" and Chrissy and...

This is like a cross between Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" and Paul Simon's "Me & Julio by the Schoolyard," with Bruce's magic touch added to the mix. It has that raspy, whining vocal of "Rolling Stone" and the tempo of "Julio." This is a very unique version, it's amazing how it was utterly...

Best covers: "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles (originally by the Top Notes) "You Really Got Me" by Van Halen (orig. the Kinks) "All Along the Watchtower" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience (orig. Bob Dylan) "I Shot the Sheriff" by Eric Clapton (orig. Bob Marley) "Black Magic Woman" by Santana...

Not exactly from the Muppet Show, but this deserves to be on this thread. The original Ernie puppet. THOSE EYES!!!!! GAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I've been on an Elton John listening kick lately. The "Tiny Dancer" mix-up lyrics are quite well known. Correct: "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer." Misheard: "Hold me closer, Tony Danza." And a few I had as a kid: "Bennie and the Jets." Correct: "Oh Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet?"...

I think it says in the SS 40th anniversary book or maybe Street Gang that one day Caroll Spinney hurt his ankle while riding his bike, so he couldn't play Big Bird. So the writers had to find someone else to put in the script for that day. Lo and behold, they found Telly, put him with Oscar, and...

From what I hear about this bit with Oscar and the Count, it really does sound like they are trying to bring the original characters back to the foreground. That also might explain the Bert/Ernie/Elmo storyline coming up. You don't see that pairing often. Maybe there is a chance of something...

HA! That was great! Especially Gonzo, Statler, Waldorf, and the Swedish Chef. He does a snippet from a classic Muppet song at the end, too...but I won't spoil it for y'all.

One word: LIPS!!! I also like the story that Dave told about working with Jim on that Gill Brothers song on the Muppet Show. Not to mention that Roy Rogers reminded him of his own father...in a cool way, I would assume. I just wish they could have elaborated more on Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, since...

I see the Two-Headed Monster in the current photo from the episode. So that counts (no pun intended) as another Jerry Muppet.

That's true. Marty Robinson has never received any Emmys for his work on SS, despite two nominations. This better be the year he gets one! Also: there's going to be a Jerry Nelson tribute episode?! MUST WATCH!!! Hopefully there will be longtime favorites like the Count, Herry, Mumford, and Mr...

Same thing happened to Eric Jacobson as he got more experience performing Bert and Grover. His performances became almost as good as Frank's. I just hope the same will be said once Elmo and the Count appear on SS with new performers.

So they would keep producing Elmo the Musical segments, but with (most likely) Ryan Dillon as Elmo? And if SS's curriculum continues to focus on self-control, could Herry Monster be brought back for some story lines? (recast suggestion: Matt Vogel) Back then, SS still had a pretty solid and...

Anything from the Schoolhouse Rock math videos. "Three is a Magic Number," "Figure 8," "Ready or Not, Here I Come," "Elementary My Dear," and so on. Full playlist is here:

I watched the street story of the season premiere, where Telly is jealous of Baby Bear's parrot Ralphie. It's...intense. Martin P. Robinson just blew me away with his performance. He just might be the best "actor," so to speak, out of all the Muppeteers. I don't know what it is, but he just has...

I downloaded selected episodes from Classics 1 and 2. I didn't bother with the Season 1 or Season 10 premieres since they're on the Old School DVD sets. I love all of the episodes, but I especially love the ones from Season 5 (592, 597, 598, 600) and Season 10 (1257, 1261, and 1285). It was...

Let's see...the side of Floyd's red shirt has come apart. It seemed to have been held with very poor-quality adhesive. Tuxedo Rowlf's right ear came off (mom used crazy glue to put it back in permanently). Janice's left arm and leg came off. My Newsman figure's right arm came off as well. And...

I also find it ironic that while everyone is saying "Stay away from peeling paint," those painted doors behind Oscar's can appear to be peeling away.

I have been looking for this "Lead Police" video for years! I watched it somewhere (maybe the original Sesame Street Brooklyn Children's Museum exhibit) in the early 2000s. Only now do I realize that that song is a parody of the music of the Police. Chris Cerf sounds great as the lead singer...

http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/funniest-wackiest-zaniest-sesame-sketches.52082/page-4 You'll see my post (and DrTooth's reply) about the infamous skit with the Count and Dr. Rainbrain as they attempt to launch a rocketship. It's a hilarious punchline, and Frank and Jerry just worked...
