This isn't a direct shot at Sesame Street, but does anyone else think some of the magic is lost with HD?

I really hope it's a weird angle on Scooter because they really did take a step back. The prototypes were perfect for the look they were going for. Do you know how it stays on then? Yeah, maybe there's a peg sticking through the bottom of the hat and a hole in his head we can't see.

Dude, you hit the nail right on the head.

The subtle things are hilarious. Like when Yolanda said "There are receipts in these, right?", and Beaker replies "me, me mo".

I'm not saying they were at all going for a cartoony feel; that's just how they look to me.

@Daffyfan2003 I want a like button for your signature! :D I honestly prefer watching it on any website but ABC; the ABC player is crap, no commercials, no buffering times... That's giving me a lot of popups. I usually watch the episodes here...

I just will never buy the :attitude:-:flirt: thing. Even if he wasn't into Janice, this Sam is a whole lot more friendly and different than the old, strict, boring Sam.

Yes, you are right. Piggy is a good example of a character who was done wrong. The long-haired one is a whole lot more acceptable. I thought they did a good job on Zoot, but Janice was too tall and thin. They kind of remind me a bit of the Little Muppet Monsters cartoon.

But they were so spot on as well. These are more like cartoon versions of the Muppets; the textures of the Palisades figures were even like the foam they used on the actual puppets.

I don't think they ever got that far into planning. The only way to know for sure would be if Ken visited again, and then he would probably just be speculating. Train conductor Cookie Monster. :insatiable: Alice? Snuffleupagus?

What I found interesting is that the second wave was originally supposed to be Bert, the Count, Yip-Yip Martians and Roosevelt Franklin (carrying on with the 2 core, 2 obscure character trend), but this interview and other accounts later had the latter 2 being replaced by Elmo and normal Grover...

Come on. These are great figures; what Palisades did was godly.

Oh. I thought you meant that these figures were so much better than Palisades that they would make them look bad in comparison. :D

I want to see that Margaret Hamilton episode of SS though I feel like it is not as scary as it's been built up to be.

You mean the other way around?

Okay, the opening number was great. It had so many things going for it; Piggy performing a number with the guest star, everything goes wrong... I enjoy when this show manages to remind me of why I fell in love with The Muppets in the first place. "Gonzo! Are you alive?" - that was kind of...

Hey, an actual character that had an actual noteworthy appearance... there you go; that'll work.

I know. This strikes me as odd that they would include a figure like this just to make the Pigs in Space an even four. No one would have minded if they included Link with an actual character. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. I don't think they meant it to be any of those pigs, just a pig.

I could see why the particular skit I linked is as rare as it is, with Herry putting a bag over Lefty's head and all. It's amazing how much things have changed since the '70s.

This doesn't really fit into this thread, but I don't feel like it deserves it's own, but today I stumbled upon a rare skit with Herry Monster and Lefty the Salesman (), and it made me wonder: how many skits are out there that have been lost over time, aren't online or just haven't been seen in...
