Johnny Fiama was a great character and one of the few highlights I found with Muppets Tonight. But why do several people want to see Sal recast?

I saw this film a few months back on cable. There were parts I really enjoyed about it, and others I didn't. But I have to politely disagree with you: I think Paul had every right to be grumpy with the director. He was such a fan boy, and it showed throughout. There's nothing wrong with making a...

Hey, what happened to the banners for the puppeteers? Today is Dave Goelz' birthday, and we don't have a celebratory banner for him? I also noticed we didn't have one recently for Jerry Nelson's birthday which in my opinion should be honored still.

I was upset when the Fix It Shop and Mr. Hooper's Store changed into more modern looking store fronts, I'd be traumatized if they went THAT commercial with the street set. Yoga on Sesame...interesting...makes me glad I don't catch the show these days

Exactly, Beaker, they couldn't even use the word "pregnant" on "I Love Lucy" it was "expecting", they slept in separate beds, etc. Norman Lear definitely made a turn around in pop culture with his sitcoms, and they were some of the best written shows on television, PERIOD. That's what made...

Yeah but with the Katy Perry ordeal, of course there was some politics involved, otherwise, Sesame Workshop would've just gone ahead and aired the bit with her, but instead they listened to all these parental groups, etc. and if they didn't, it would've escalated, government would've gotten...

I disagree, because if our world wasn't so PC today, it would be a non issue. Everyone knew what Katy Perry's "schtick" was, so why were people up in arms that she would appear that way on a kids' show? You used the great example of Ms. Yvonne from Pee-Wee, how come parents weren't freaking out...

I don't think it's so much that the show stirs up so much controversy, it's because we have too many sensitive people walking around these days, and because one parent may get offended that Katy Perry had a midriff top on singing with Elmo, the media picks up on that and blows it out of...

Wasn't sure if this was appropriate or not here, but since I saw this and other Muppet sites weren't discussing it, just read this and from Kevin's hometown: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/bs-md-kevin-clash-20130701,0,3251570.story

He does in Lealand, Miss., his hometown. It's small, but there is one there....

Indeed Scooter, I went to see the exhibit at well the day Frank Oz was giving a Q&A/interview, the museum itself is a lot of fun, and the exhibits even the non Muppet ones are amazing, but yes, the Henson exhibit went so well, they are making a permanent exhibit there.

I WISH! I live on Long Island, and that would be a dream come true, but as far as I know, haven't heard anything.

Totally agreed, Dr. Tooth. I get surprised when I see toy commercials on TV these days at all, and oddly I'm finding a lot of them are infomercial products. It's very sad to me think that Toys R' Us and toy stores in general will be going the route of Barnes & Nobles, etc. Before you know it...

No, I know too many people who are still sadly out of work, etc.

Very sad to hear about the cuts at Sesame, but honestly it doesn't surprise me. Public television's funding has been drastically cut in recent years, Sesame itself films less episodes a season, and I wonder if the whole Kevin Clash debacle has made their funding drop as far as maybe parents not...

I just Googled NY Muppet museum and every link that came up is related to the upcoming permanent Henson gallery they're installing at the Museum of the Moving Image. So perhaps the radio program you were listening to got their facts muddled?

Not sure about if it was given out, but the photo itself was a regular publicity still for the first season of Sesame Street. I'm not saying it is or isn't legit, but as someone who collects autographs, and memorabilia, be VERY careful about buying things like that on Ebay unless it's from a...

As one who doesn't get on FB that frequently these days, I want to thank you for posting this news from Michael. While like others here have said, it's not that he's totally out of the woods, but it's a vast improvement, and I'm very glad to hear it. I was honored to be one of Michael's puppetry...

Just sent it to you. Sorry for the delay, been very busy the past week and haven't been on here much.

Sure, what's your email? You still forgot to give it to me. :)
