    Do you think Rudy could become the new Elmo?

    Probably is, given the kind of character he is, that seems like that would be his schtick: the cute little tagalong baby (step)brother. In all honesty, before we were introduced to Rudy on the show, and reading about some of the episode plots that involved him (like taking Abby's wand and...

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    Accordingly, I've lost about fifteen pounds in the last three months . . . and I find it hard to believe, because, as always, I don't show it, and I don't feel it either. But, also, it appears that my BMI is now down to about 30% . . . that's still considered obese according to the scales, but...

    Do you think Rudy could become the new Elmo?

    I don't particularly find Rudy annoying, but I agree he needs more time to be developed as a character, because he's definitely got a Cousin Gary Oliver Stu thing going on right now.

    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    I already knew I shared my birthday with Paul Lynde and Tim Allen, but I learned that I also share it with the late Mary Wickes, as well as the Olsen twins, Kat Denning . . . and Bob McGrath!

    TV Tropes

    Sometime's they'll delete such edits, or revert them back to the previous edit. For example, I remember adding an entry on the YMMV page for ONCE UPON A FOREST because of how Nostalgia Critic turned Cornelius's rheumatism lecture into a Memetic Mutation, but a staffer deleted it and cited it as...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Am I imagining things, or have SNL's cold opens gotten incredibly long these days? I mean even longer than other sketches?

    The Worst CGI Kid Films In Recent Memory

    I've been thinking, and Dr. Seuss's estate hated those live-action movies with such a burning passion that they vowed to never have another one of his books or titles adapted as such movies ever again - and so far, they've lived up to that; we haven't had another live-action adaptation since THE...

    Learn Something New Everyday Thread

    Dr. Seuss disliked the animated adaptation of HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! because he felt the animation style looked too much like, well, Chuck Jones's style, and that it deviated too much from his original illustrations. It kind of makes sense when you think about it, and I don't doubt...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I thought so. I mean, what better way to bring many different YouTube puppets together in such a collaboration project?

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Either that, or maybe like a Colin Mochrie Hoedown kind of thing. :P But it's such a bizarre coincidence that SS would be planning a video project like this, because I've already been planning a very, very similar video project, only with YouTube puppets.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I can't carry a tune to save my life, but I may send in a submission - they'd probably never use it anyway.

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    I suppose when I think about it, this could also be another factor at play for my personal preference of the single camera production setup as opposed to multicamera. Granted, it's mostly for the cinematic aesthetics, but from a puppeteering standpoint, camera switching isn't a concern...

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    In the three years that I did puppetry for PBS, the monitor was still occasionally a hang up for me, because the picture on the monitor is the reverse of what's actually going on in the studio; I was usually quick to fix myself, but I'd occasionally accidently look to the left when I was...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I mean, Mr. Hooper makes me look like a Mexican hairless, and if you remember the scene from Roger Rabbit where Eddie Valient steps out of the bathroom with no shirt, that'll give you an idea of how hairy I am. :o

    Do you think Rudy could become the new Elmo?

    Then you've also got Ruby Monster and Merry Monster - both of whom were attempts at adding prominent female monsters to the street in the early 90s, but neither of them really caught on. Ruby aside, honestly, Merry's design was really ambiguous and androgynous, I don't know if many kids or...

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4916 - Mechanics in Space

    So not only has Nina replaced Maria as the street's resident Latina, she's also replaced Susan being a woman who actually knows how to fix cars. And I have to say, the female construction worker AM with the deep man voice in the cold open seemed very much like some kind of throw-away character...
