You can't get a good picture of Piggy by just looking at the movies. The Muppet Show predates The Muppet Movie. Piggy was not exactly demure or dependent in TMS and she was perfectly willing to resort to violence. Watch TMS and see if you think your hypothesis holds. In the movies you...

Okay, since I have a masters in sex and gender I'll jump in here. Who wrote the essay and is it on the web? It's difficult to comment without the full context. Given what you presented, I'd begin by pointing out that a number of other Muppets wear clothes. Gonzo, all of the Electric...

Jonathan-- I am very sorry you are having to deal with this. That most of us experience this sort of stuff at some point in school is not much comfort, but maybe it helps a little to know you are not alone. I hope you can find someone in your life you can talk to about this, someone who can...

Hi-- I got a flyer in the mail advertising local Sesame Street Live performances. On the flyer it says presale tickets are available now, just enter the password printed on the flyer at ticketmaster. Well, the password on my flyer doesn't work. Anyone else on the SST Live mailing...

For anyone in the Maryland area, the Publick Playhouse in Cheverly will be showing Muppet Treasure Island Saturday, June 11th at 10 am. Tickets are $5. Muppets on the big screen-- not a bad way to start off a weekend. For more details go to...

Thanks folks Thank you for the birthday wishes everyone! :)

One of the best ways to begin a social analysis of mass culture characters (be it telelvision, film, books, comics, whatever) is to identify standard societal stereotypes in the characters. For instance, is there a nerd or a geek? Not necessarily just an intelligent character but someone who...

Okay, everyone take a deep breath and count to ten, please. There is no need to exchange personal attacks on the forum. You can disagree, but remember to do so in a way that is respectful of all people involved. Let's drop this and move along to a more productive exchange. We appreciate...

Congratulations! He's gorgeous! :D Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many action figures Carter owns? He's over 36 hours old now so I figure his father has had plenty of time to start his collection....

Remember those were just his thoughts. And there are some inaccuracies. He says Harry and Vold. have the same core and the only way to kill Vold. is to kill Harry as well. But we learned in the last book the prophecy says only one of the two can live-- either Harry or Vold. I think we're...

Okay, now I am all for sarcasm, but isn't it a little disrespectful to be serving meat in Jamie's thread? I mean, he's a committed vegetarian and all that meat being slopped around could keep him away. How about a nice veggie loaf and some vegan gravy for those potatoes?

The number of episodes per season has decreased because of costs.

Seriously, I heard from Jamie today. He is fine but will be away from his computer for a bit longer.

Well, you don't have to agree, but the child development experts and educators who work at Sesame Workshop feel it is best to stay current. As the parent of a SST viewer, I can tell you kids do notice. I'm not saying it causes stress, but it takes them out of the moment, interupts the...

It's nice to know someone thinks I have a full set of marbles. ;) You might want to get some of the magent strips and take them to the fabric store as well, not sure how strong they are and you could see how thick the fabric can be and still have working magnets-- that might make velcro...

Actually, you can get thin magnet strips (with adhesive to make them easy to apply) that are fairly flexible and you could probably cover most of the foam with them, giving you the stick anywhere effect you were after. Velcro won't hold up to heavy play-- it will snag your fabric and over...

It's not like the archive is new. It's the format that's been updated. Much more convienent to have 4000+ episodes archived digitally, where they can be accessed via desktops and searched via episode #, Muppet, actor, guest star, song, or some other topic. It's got to make it much easier for...

As I understand it, some skits aren't shown, or rarely shown, because the material is dated-- the clothing, culture references, etc. are clearly from 30 years ago and that can be jarring even to very young children. But the biggest problem with airing old skits is the same problem SST always...
