At a convention back in April 2017 with Caroll and Debi Spinney, Debi said one of the things they plan to do for the 50th anniversary is to bring all the puppets back, which possibly means they'll finally rebuild Bruno. I wonder if this means they'll bring back the Around the Corner characters...

Kevin Clash: Tell them about Big Bird. Matt Vogel: Yes. Caroll Spinney is the performer of Big Bird, he's been doing it since day one. He's a wonderful man, and somewhere along the line, it was decided they needed someone to stand in for Caroll when he didn't wanna go to Iowa (Kevin cracks up at...

Point taken.

This might sound a little nit-picky, but I think it's kinda sad how Ryan doesn't wanna bring up Kevin when talking about how he became Elmo for fear of talking about the scandal. Hopefully, with Happytime Murders being out now, and it being pretty public knowledge that Kevin is with Henson now...

Joey Mazzarino: A few years ago, they asked me if I wanted to direct, and at first I was like "I'm not a director". But I realized as puppeteers, we're kinda directors cause, we're watching ourselves in the monitor, and I know how to compose that shot cause I've been watching it for 18 years. So...

Elmo: The broccoli has a DGA card? Broccoli played by Matt Vogel: Oh yeah, I've been directing ever since I was a floret! Elmo: Elmo can't believe they gave a DGA card to a broccoli! Murray: Hey, they gave one to Michael Bay, why not a broccoli?

My next series of quotes are from a Sesame Street DGA event from 2011. Murray: Actors have no control at all! They just go where the director tells them to go, and do whatever the director tells them to do. Elmo: That's terrible! Murray: It is. It's like we're some kind of puppets. Elmo...

Well, I don't think it looks terrible. I'm really curious as to if they're gonna recast Stu and Grandpa Lou.

Alright. Your point's been made: Unless someone is able to edit McCarthy, McHale and the two sexual parts out of the film, you'll just never see it.

I think Jarrod is calling out D'Snowth here, and to be honest, he's right (no offense). Jarrod Fairclough: Before you saw the film, what were your views about Melissa McCarthy? Steve Swanson: I didn't know who she was. JD Hansel: Mine were sorta mixed, because I knew she could be funny. Based...

Bob said they're not doing TV episodes, but they might possibly do a TV special.

Roscoe Orman.

This isn't exactly a convention where Steve appeared, but last night, while I was at DragonCon, I ran into him! He remembered when I met him 7 years ago, and he explained that he was there visiting some friends who had panels. He also complemented my Kermit shirt.

Adorkable Rachel just put out a review of the film:

I just came back from seeing the film, and I liked it. I liked the idea of puppets having to prove that they're equals to humans, I like the idea that sugar and syrup are drugs in the puppet world. And really, there's not as much sexual stuff as I was expecting, just two scenes and you don't...

JD Hansel says the smartest thing I've heard regarding the last 2 seasons of the Muppet Show not being on DVD: I don't think we're gonna see TMS on the streaming service, because if that was the case, we'd be getting more DVDs. And seeing where they are now in terms of music rights, I don't...

My bad then.

If I recall, you started an intervention thread to get him to stop.

At least Jarrod likes it: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2018/08/24/the-happytime-murders-spoiler-free-review/ I'm not seeing the film till Tuesday, so I can't comment just yet.
