    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I always have songs stuck in my head. Anything from classic rock of the '60s - '80s (the Beatles, Eagles, and Elton John) or contemporary pop (Adele, Gotye, Katy Perry, and Fall Out Boy). Right now I've got Elton John's "Better Off Dead" stuck in my head. But I like it because it's got a very...

    shows within a show with different video titles

    I'm confused...do you mean Big Bird's hotline in Getting Ready to Read?

    shows within a show with different video titles

    Don't forget about the Learning about Numbers video from 1986. That featured Big Bird's Numbers Show, with the Count, Grover, Kermit, Ernie, the Honkers, Chip and Dip, and the legendary Tarnish Brothers, as well as some classic number-oriented cartoons and films.

    Who is your Fave Sesame Street Muppet?

    So what you're saying is that you never liked Frank Oz's Grover. I never liked his singing voice, to be honest. I grew up with Frank's Grover in the 1990s, so it was hard for me to get used to Eric Jacobson's interpretation. But it's grown on me. As for favorite SS Muppets: Big Bird, Oscar...

    What's the most FUN episode of The Muppet Show?

    I'd have to say the Rita Moreno episode was really fun. You could tell Rita had a blast, especially with her overly stereotypical character on the Discussion Panel. She even stifled a laugh during the "Fever" number where Animal mercilessly upstages her. I also thought Elton John's appearance...

    Leslie Carrara-Rudolph interview

    Loved it! She is JUST like Abby Cadabby: cheery, fun, and imaginative. And her normal speaking voice is not that far away from how Abby's voice sounds. Originally, I thought it would have been a Fran Brill situation: husky speaking voice, but a much higher voice for Prairie Dawn and Zoe. No...

    Sesame Street Stays Up Late

    I've always loved this special. Here's my thoughts: Telly was really the star of this one, but I have to say that Elmo, Grover, and Cookie Monster stole the show with their newsroom antics. (After Cookie eats the flashlight: "Yum. Light snack.") I was always fascinated by the international...

    Has Herry been retired?

    Whenever Season 45 premieres, they should definitely have a large crowd scene, like in the relatively recent episode where the Count runs Hooper's Store when Big Bird hurts himself. In that crowd, we saw Herry, Sherlock, and the Count...not to mention Jerry Nelson himself! Yeah...they should...

    Muppet Show Outlines by CJD

    OK, so I actually started this one during the summer...it took me three months to complete, due to other summer-related activity (job, traveling, family gatherings, Mario Kart night, etc). But I am proud to present my latest Muppet Show outline, featuring a superstar whose band just celebrated...

    Old Bert and Ernie sketch I can never seem to locate

    I'm pretty sure it's from Season 3, too. A very early sketch, indeed.

    A Night At The Opera

    Since this one was "A Night at the Opera," how about another fan fiction called "A Day at the Races?" Now THAT would be interesting. P.S. I LOVED THAT SONG!!!! Lionel Richie has a golden voice. MissMusical12Do you have any other stories with popular songs incorporated into the plot?

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Nice to meet everyone on this forum! Hey MuppetManMitchi! Two Muppet Movie questions for you: what flavors of ice cream did Fozzie Bear order from the ice cream vendor at the county fair? And who was the legendary actor/comedian who played the ice cream vendor?

    You might be an obsessed Muppet fan if...

    YMBAOMF if... the first song you learned to play on the piano or guitar was a song from Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, or a Muppet movie you developed a fear of sticky glue or adhesive after watching the TMS "Gilda Radner" episode you have to call in the Boogie-Woogie sheep to...

    YES. 120% YES. The Beatles are my favorite band of all time. I guess we share similar taste in music.:D:cool::halo::sing:

    When you need to rant...

    So who's at fault? The parents, who are supposed to bring their kids up responsibly and teach them what's right and wrong? Or the people in Miley's camp (agent, manager, and so on), who must represent her and seem to give the OK for everything she does? And of course she wants to escape from...

    When you need to rant...

    Miley Cyrus's performance at the VMAs was an absolute disgrace. This is further proof that today's child stars don't end up anywhere in life (Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Justin Bieber, etc). If the young kids/teens of America continue to be exposed to that sexualized crap that Miley & company...

    When you need to rant...

    I hate how TMS ended with the Roger Moore episode. The Gene Kelly episode, which was actually filmed last, should indeed have been the last one, since there's that "end of the world" gag throughout, and we FINALLY get to see what the Vet's Hospital announcer looks like after so long. What better...

    What if there had been a Muppet Show season 6?

    I don't know if TMS would have lasted past six seasons. I doubt that it would have been able to keep up with the rapidly changing entertainment scene for much more than that. Still, it would have been cool to have seen 80's stars like Pat Benatar, Billy Joel, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury...

    1970's and 1980's SST Books1970's and 1980's SST Books

    I have a lot of vintage SS books too: nearly the whole SS Library, with covers drawn by Joe Mathieu, and the complete SS Treasury, with photos of poser puppets in comical situations. Not to mention The Monster at the End of this Book, Cookie Monster and the Cookie Tree, Oscar's Book, the Big...
