    Ernie & Prairie Dawn

    Yeah I'm not really much of a fanfic person either. Although I've read a Ren & Stimpy creepypasta thing and it was so scary, I wish it was a real made episode. I can sort of picture Ernie having a paperboy kind of job. Didn't he ask for a job at Mr. Hooper's once? Anyway other then Bert and...

    Who painted the city backgrounds on Classic Sesame Street

    I remember refferences where made like how Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was only a few miles away. Though my favorite is the bad parts exiting Sesame Street is called "Avenue Q". lol I love that play, I've seen it on Broadway. :) Yeah it gives the show more realism. I've lived in the suburbs most...

    Looking for an Ernie and Bert Interview clip

    Thanks, that's the very clip alright. :) By the way, that's Eric Jacobson as Bert in this right? Is there a longer version of this interview or was that basically it. It's really funny, this and the Tom-Tom GPS thing they did was really great. I'd love to see Ernie and Bert do more of that, I...

    That does sound familiar. I must have seen it years ago.

    Get ready for some Muppet nightmare fuel

    I had a weird nightmare last night. It was Oscar and a Honker together like The Two Headed Monster and they were fighting over a alphorn with rapid 2 note music playing on top of a mountain and then they have sharp teeth and go in my face screaming. I woke up shaking in fear, it took me a good...

    Funniest Wackiest Zaniest Sesame Sketches

    I think the number (8 I think) falling in the water was the funny one. It's cool seeing the cartoony violence but it just looses it's surprise quality after awhile. It's cool for Sesame Street animated number countdown segments, it's not that wacky and zanny in my book. Too tame. I feel...

    Looking for an Ernie and Bert Interview clip

    I think it was from a prime time talk show from Australia or the UK, I think it was made at least the early 2000s. The host talks with Ernie (Steve Whitmire) and Bert (Frank Oz) and all I can remember was Ernie turns to Bert and says "Bert, does this shirt make me look fat?" and Bert replies "No...

    Ernie & Prairie Dawn

    I've started a thread awhile back mentioning ages. Like how can Grover be tucked into bed by his mother in one moment and working a job as an annoying waiter to Mr. Johnson the next. lol Anyway I think Ernie is in his mid 20s. An adult who still has his inner child or course, loves...

    Ernie & Prairie Dawn

    Thanks, I get sick of those things myself. I'm a huge Ernie and Bert fan still to this day, they have always been my favorite on Sesame Street and still are. Ernie and Bert are roommates just sharing the rent and bills, well okay Bert pays for everything probably because Ernie doesn't have...

    Ernie & Prairie Dawn

    Was there really something with Ernie, Bert and Prarie? I thought Betty Lou had something for Monsters. "I Wan't A Monster To Be My Friend". lol Couldn't resist. But seriously, I've seen weird fan fiction drawings of Bert and Betty Lou and Ernie with Prairie Dawn. I figure it was from someone...

    Funniest Wackiest Zaniest Sesame Sketches

    I haven't this one in years! Since my childhood. It's so much fun to find these gems again. The part that cracked me up the most is where Bert announces the name "WINDOW" and the musical sting choir music and Bert is looking around in amazement. Perhaps it's corny but I find it really hilarious...

    Puppet Props

    I wasn't sure where to post this because it's a combination of Puppet building, Classic Sesame Street and The Muppets. Basically, how where the Muppet props built. All I can think of is foam but a lot of the props that were used from a log to a prop in a characters hand like a telephone or...

    Funniest Wackiest Zaniest Sesame Sketches

    I might have mentioned before but it seemed like the style of Muppet humor at the time was crazy and wild silliness. I think Frank Oz quoted they were irreverent and anarchic. This was Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. With the addition of great character personalities, harmony positive...

    Best Friends Blues Song

    I think it's just a segment and not really a street plot story or anything like that. From what I know. What's interesting about this was it's the first and only time where Ernie becomes a hand and rod Muppet. It's interesting how it's done because I'm sure it would have been more difficult...

    Who painted the city backgrounds on Classic Sesame Street

    I'm just curious because there has been some really nice backgrounds on some of the sketches. And I'm really fascinated on how they are really well done. From what I've noticed, the paintings in the background seem to be painted on some sort of fabric. I think it's also a Technic that was...

    The Missing Link Hogthrob

    Wasn't the only lines link had was in that Nirvana cover Barbershop style with Jack Black? Still it was nice to see Link hit the Gong again in Muppet Treasure Island, too bad he couldn't swing around and slam into it like he did in Muppets Go To The Movies. :D Though it seems like he talked...

    Get ready for some Muppet nightmare fuel

    Yeah, I was just about to mention that. Which reminds me, I've read Annoying Orange got sued from I think an Orange Juice advertisement company due to doing that kind of effect filing the mouth and eyes onto an animated orange. You know what kind of freaked me out as a kid, was "We're Ugly"...

    CGI characters on Sesame Street

    I noticed on the current episodes, there's more CGI characters. Is The Jim Henson Creature Shop creating that with the Henson Digital Puppetry System they've created (like what's used in Sid the Science Kid) or is it a different company that's doing all that.

    Sesame Streets current target audience question

    I noticed you were mentioning about that. I've never heard of it. But as a loyal listener to Bob Proctor (Law of Attraction, The Secret, etc) He has mentioned a book called "How To Multiply Your Baby's Intelligence" and from what he said about it, it certainly sounds very interesting. But not a...
