    The New New Quote Thread

    From ALF's Hit Talk Show. ALF: I wanna give you folks a break from that drivel that's out there on TV. I think it is anyway. (Audience cheers) That big show CSI, now they got CSI Miami, and then they got CSI New York. I figured out what CSI stands for: Copying Same Idea! (Audience cheers) I'm...

    TV Alert: Rudy, Abby's New Stepbrother on The Tonight Show 8/4/2017

    This is the first time in a year that Fallon has had a Muppet on. I hope this means Elmo will come back soon. He needs to redeem himself after that awkward cooking segment:

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4731 - Hello Rudy

    This episode was great. Rudy's a nice addition, and it's wonderful that Frankie Cordero finally has a character. David Rudman's voice for the dad was the least David sounding voice I ever heard him do.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppets on WE Day Friday August 4, 2017

    So sorry for not talking about this earlier, but I was on vacation in Dallas. Anyway, this was the first public appearance of Peter Linz playing Statler. The whole thing was just kinda mediocre.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    To quote JD Hansel on his podcast: Matt's voice for the Count doesn't sound exactly like Jerry's voice for the Count, but it's hard to care about that when A: doing voices that are less character-y and more natural is always extremely difficult and B: he perfectly captures the Count's passion...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4730 - Battle of the Chefs

    The bookends with Ernie and Bert were funny. The bit with Anthony Mackie was fun. Ryan and Leslie gave great performances as the ingredients. Nice to see Cookie's cameo in EW.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4729 - Big Bird's Big Move

    Shane, would you be willing to put the re-orchestrated songs on Vimeo or something? I assume you're not comfortable putting HBO Sesame on YT.

    Video: 80's Sesame Street Music Mashup Parodies

    Would anyone be willing to put Two Heads Are Better Than One from the Facebook video on YT? That's the only one that had a significant edit.

    This was amazing! I love that they got permission to use the actual music for the songs.

    The New New Quote Thread

    ALF: My big thing is I can't get over the humans' obsession with celebrities. Everybody wants to know about celebrities. Who cares? Don't they have lives of their own to be worried about? Who cares about who broke up with who, who went to rehab?

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4729 - Big Bird's Big Move

    The cold open with Elmo and a bear, (that was John Kennedy right?), was fun. I was really impressed how they handled the Number of the Day being zero. It gives me hope that by next season, the new Letter and Number of the Day songs will be permanent. I liked Big Bird and Oscar appearing in EW...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Look at this message Peter sent me: https://www.facebook.com/peterlinzpuppeteer/posts/1128414190636484?comment_id=1128582800619623&ref=notif&notif_t=feed_comment&notif_id=1500348145830941 I hope this doesn't mean Billy's not with Sesame anymore, cause he's a talented performer.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4728 - Bert and Ernie Make a Movie

    The bookends with Elmo and Ernie were fun. It was great to see a new episode of Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures. Bert's bit in the new EW is the most dialogue any Muppet other than Elmo has had on the new EW so far.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    To quote JD Hansel on his podcast: Here's what really ticked me off, when people would say "I don't know that he's done the voice as well in other movies, I thought the voice was closer in MCC", because I heard people say stuff like that, and it's like no. Steve Whitmire at a certain point, by...

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Read this post from Jarrod and hopefully, you'll understand that even though you might be angry at Disney for this decision, you should still support any future Muppet projects: https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2017/07/13/a-rock-a-hard-place/

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Steve and JD made a fantastic podcast discussing this news and toasting Steve and Matt. Listen until 27:17, from 40:06 to 43:46, and from 54:35 to 1:05:20. http://muppethub.com/mft2/

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    Muppetmaker is actually Dan Becker from the Getting Felt Up Puppetry Podcast. He's interviewed and become friends with several of the Muppet performers, so it makes sense that he knew this before the rest of us did.

    Steve Whitmire has left the Muppets, Matt Vogel to continue as Kermit

    I'm really sad. Steve was an incredibly nice guy to me when I met him at the Center for Puppetry Arts back in April 2011. His Kermit is the one I grew up with, since I was born 4 years after Jim's passing. I really hope Matt's Kermit is really good and doesn't sound like Constantine's version of...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4727 - Twinkle Twinkle Little Elmo

    I really liked Twinkle Twinkle saying his song is "Yuge". That was obviously a jab at Trump. I also liked the sheep parody of Lady Gaga.
