Jim Henson Idea Man
Remember the life. Honor the legacy. Inspire your soul. The new Jim Henson documentary "Idea Man" is now streaming exclusively on Disney+.
Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
WooT! I always love it when they make Halloween rubber masks and costumes of characters like that!
But now on to my judging...
The Kermit the Frog adult costume is pretty interesting, I have to admit. It does stink that it doesn't come with the feet and that the mask only covers the front of...
It's a good thing I never saw the I-Beam skit when I was little. It had a Nightmare scare factor! The dark setting, red-hot I beam and that dramatic music score (that sounds like something that would accompany a war movie!), not to mention that video freeze at the end as a drumroll is heard...
1989.
BTW, I saw the I-Beam there too. I was surprised they decided to put it under "Science and Technology." I thought it would've been in the Letters/Alphabet heading. I guess CTW finally figured it out that it isn't as good to show as part of teaching the letter "I." (I have heard rumors...
It might be because of the unavailability of certain voices.
For instance, Sonia Manzano was unavailable to voice Maria in "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street," and if Fran Brill voiced Maria using the voice she used in the video, kids would instantly know it's not really Maria, so they...
Now that the original version of the 1969 skit about Bert and Ernie's blackout is on YouTube, I have taken the liberty of doing my "modernized" version of the skit...
(We start on Ernie and Bert watching TV, a rather loud DVD of some old Western movie.)
Bert: Hey Ernie… Ernie I’m tired...
I liked how they added Count von Count in MADtv form, but the skit didn't make me laugh. However, I DID take the liberty of taking screencaps of it for the Muppet Wiki entry...

Yeah, I hate the way it just says "Sesame Street Muppets" now. It should at least say "Jim Henson's Sesame Street Muppets," even if they don't credit Jim Henson in the Muppeteer cast list
Yep. In my Creative Dramatics class for my project on something related to Childrens' Dramatics, I did it on the history of Sesame Street! I did a PowerPoint slideshow, then I played a montage of Sesame Street intro sequences (we had already seen the 1969-1992 opening, so my montage included the...
As for the Turtles, I know in the second season, A-1 Productions did the animation, but in subsequent seasons I am not entirely sure who did the rest of the animation. I know Wang Film Productions did some TMNT animation in the early 1990s, and I think Akom may have been involved at one point.
Yeah, I noticed that too. In fact, I recognized a few other familiar voices in some Golden Book Videos...

Hamilton (the first pig) sounds a LOT like Greg Berg doing the voice.

I'm sure some of you remember those goofy Sesame Street-related "storybook video" tapes that Golden Book Video released in 1985: "Three Sesame Street Stories" and "Five Sesame Street Stories" (both later combined into an hour-long video entitled "Eight Super Sesame Street Stories"). Well, last...
Apologize for bumping this thread, but...

The game show host in this "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (the DiC version) episode's voice sounds like a dead-ringer for Gary Owens. Was that actually him doing the voice?
The reason for that was because the audio was taken from a record album that had a track with Cookie Monster and "another monster" that Jim Henson voiced. I guess they decided to use the Herry puppet for that one, though Jerry Nelson has been Herry's performer since Day One.
Herry Monster has always been one of my favorites ever since I was little. He IS cute, and Jerry Nelson did a great job voicing him.
I remember how in the books and on merchandise, Herry Monster almost always wore pants. Usually they would be white with pink stripes (though Tom Cooke often...
I've always loved Hoots the Owl ever since I was a kid. He was definitely cool. I also liked his realistic owl-like eyes and the moving eyelid mechanism. Wasn't he one of the first SS Muppets that could actually blink and all that stuff?
Wasn't too big on the variation in the "Cookie is a...
It makes sense; they're both made out of the same puppet pattern, and they're both voiced by Jerry Nelson. And some people commenting on that skit actually thought that was Fat Blue in that skit when they were younger!
Yes, Simon Soundman was awesome. He kinda reminded me of Gerald...
Here's one...
Usually I wasn't bothered by Natalie the Cow. But her moo in "Boogie Woogie Piggies" at one part freaked the **** out of me as a kid! (Pardon my language). It's when they first show Chip (or is it Dip?) doing the tango with a sheep. It didn't sound like one of her normal sounds...
