    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    Koch is no longer putting these out. I received an email from my preorder for these CD's from Deep Discount CD.com saying they have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    Not anymore. I just got an email from Deep Discount DVD that the products have been discontinued by the manufacturer. I preordered the CDs from them. Anyone else receive this as well?

    Sesame Street event in Brooklyn

    lol Well November is a busy month for me, I'm going to be in Vegas the weekend before so since this event is between that and Thanksgiving weekend (which is always busy for people) I may actually want one weekend to hibernate.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    I got an email from Amazon today saying the shipping would be delayed for this (which I guess means the release date has been pushed back?) I had to confirm the delay and that I was still interested in the item, so it's still on my pre-order list...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    I have to say I'm with Muppetfan. I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, thankfully Steve IS back, and I am happy that the thread has turned positive. I'm not trying to stir up trouble other than to say I totally agree with him/her and I think there was alot of overreacting over nothing.

    Who's your favorite cereal mascot?

    I don't know why I like Tony so much. I think it has partly to do with the fact that if he were a person I'd find him hot LOL I think tigers are beautiful animals, I love that his voice is the same guy who did all the singing in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, and I just like the fact he's been...

    Who's your favorite cereal mascot?

    Hands down for me? Tony the Tiger as far as cereals go. As far as generic brand name character mascots: Pop N' Fresh aka The Pillsbury Dough Boy :)

    Will John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together get a DVD release?

    I don't think Jim Henson's funeral is so odd to have. I was on the fence about getting a copy for a long time and finally bought one recently also from IOffer.com :) I figured since it was more of a celebration anyway and the event was open to the public it's not like I was peering in at some...

    Will John Denver & the Muppets: A Christmas Together get a DVD release?

    I bought it on a really great bootleg DVD off of IOffer.com I can't wait to finally see this for the first time this holiday season...I'm guessing the reason this has never come out is it has something to do with John Denver's estate and/or copyright issues with the music.

    Gonzo and Animal on Dancing with the Stars

    I saw this. It was cute. Yeah you couldn't hear Gonzo at all which was disappointing. I was able to hear enough though that it was Dave Goelz but between everyone cheering, etc. you couldn't really hear him. I thought the Muppet Show dance by Aaron was horrendous lol

    Elmo Makes Amanda's Wish Come True

    This video made me cry. One of the most magical things to me about watching the Muppets is to see them interact with children and how much they believe in them and when it's to cheer up the lives of children with health issues, it really warms the heart. I also had come across a great YouTube...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    This is not an uncommon practice: Betsy Palmer who played the original Mrs. Voorhies in the original Friday the 13th movie was asked to appear in the second film for far less money. Betsy thought this was a crock because Paramount who released Friday the 13th had made loads of money off the...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    I'm with the good Dr. here. I don't buy the comments at all about Steve being a "diva" as he's become a friendly accquaintance of mine over the years, but I wouldn't disregard the fact that someone who works with Sesame Street Live may have over heard something and told Starfilter. I know SS...

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    Good point. Well, if this is the direction Disney is going with the characters, I'm personally not surprised. I have been very less than impressed with Disney's films, products and marketing since the mid 90's. Although I just saw a commercial for that new Disney animated film The Princess and...

    Gosh I don't know. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I don't think so because I already am going away in October and it's a busy month in general for me right now. :(

    Where is Steve Whitmire Petition

    Unfortunately I didn't get to go to Muppetfest that year. The distance, costs and personal fears of flying at the time all were factors in deciding not to go, but I hear it was an incredible time.
