Here's a confession for you: I never saw the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth until 3 weeks after Jim Henson's Creature Shop Challenge premiered.

My dad says it might be possible for us to go to the Knoxville Fanboy Expo to see Steve Whitmire!

Boy I'm telling ya, if Caroll is in fact still doing Big Bird and Oscar's voices, I've got a heck of a lot of editing to do on the Muppet Wiki page for Caroll Spinney character transitions.

So this was kinda a big shock. Caroll did Big Bird and Oscar's voices for this commercial that just aired during the Grammys. Maybe it was his last performance before his voice started going quiet:

I thought the street story was pretty funny. If only because of the Dumb and Dumber dynamic between Cookie and Grover. The Foodie Truck segment was funny. I liked Cookie's attempt at opening the avocado. Also Rosita dressed as a cat in the bookends was very cute. Finally all 7 of the core...

Welcome. Since you live in Georgia like me, be sure to tell me when you plan on visiting the Center for Puppetry Arts. I'm in the museum every Saturday from 3 to 5.

Jarrod Fairclough: Now that Kermit and Constantine are the same performer, I think the gag of Constantine trying to do his Kermit impression is gonna wear thin very quickly, because now it actually does sound like Kermit. Steve Swanson: Yes, it does. I noticed that too. JD Hansel: On the upside...

The cold open with Elmo was used twice before. This episode was very good, it was the first time since 2010 we've seen Bert and Ernie's apartment, there were funny moments like Big Bird being able to move Bert's bed with no problem, the When Harry Met Sally reference, and the sheep saying...

The Muppet Fans Talking podcast guys started a discussion about Frank possibly being a writer or director of a future Muppet project now that he's on Twitter, and I wanna know what you guys think of it. Jarrod Fairclough: I think we might see more of Frank. I think he's starting to realize that...

Hopefully the only time someone roasts a Muppeteer in a Toast and Roast segment. Jarrod Fairclough: I'd like to give a roast to one person, Billy Barkhurst. Steve Swanson: Really? JD Hansel: You're really gonna do this publicly? Jarrod: I am. How that guy ever got Ernie, I don't know. But he...

This street story was okay. The Family song was catchy. I didn't expect them to bring back One of These Things.

JD Hansel: We can at least be thankful for Leslie Carrara's great performance, cause this was one of my favorite characters she's ever done honestly. Steve Swanson: She did a great job. JD: I love Becky, the New York accent was great.

I wouldn't say that's sexist as much as it's him making sure feminists are happy or whatever. At the time, he was married, so he had to make sure his wife's feelings wouldn't be hurt of she listened.

Please tell me what podcast that's from, cause that sounds so funny. JD Hansel: You probably also had this thought: Why are all the wide shots done really nicely on the real set, but all the closeups are done with crappy greenscreen? Steve Swanson: Right, yes! That was another thing. JD: What...

Yeah, Steve thinks just because Kevin was co-executive producer, he had influence on the music.

JD Hansel: I don't know why the songs in this special are bad, I think they could have thrown in another public domain Christmas song or just recycle something from one of the old Christmas specials. This poppy stuff is just useless. Steve Swanson: Well actually, I'm gonna disagree with you here...

JD Hansel: Cookie Monster here much to Elmo's surprise does NOT share his cookies. Steve Swanson: Cookie Monster's move is not sharing cookies, it's eating them. It's eating everything actually, but he isn't called Sharing Monster. This right here, this is the new Veggie Monster. Cookie was...

Even if Caroll isn't Big Bird and Oscar anymore, they could have him make an in-person cameo just like they did in season 40.

The new Foodie Truck was interesting. It was the first time Cookie talked during the driving shots and Cookie and Gonger talked during the real world parts.

JD Hansel: Has anyone else noticed that Ryan Dillon's Elmo has sort of a strong accent? Steve Swanson: Okay, let's talk about that: Yes to that, and is it me or does Elmo now constantly have that crooked eye look? It's one move in all this special. JD: That's the thing: If watched the video from...
