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

    I almost think they're under-estimating kids attention spans and eyes for details, because honestly, I'm just as nitpicky as a kid as I am as an adult, and the constant switching back and forth of the previous set and the current set would have driven me batty.

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

    I didn't realize. The departure of the older cast members was so public.

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

    It's hard for things not to get heated during a time like this, where things don't usually get so ugly in the world of Muppets. It's good to try to keep things civil, but when you've got certain people who are so dead-set in their opinions and lash out at anybody who disagrees with them, little...

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

    I remember this one when it first aired, that was the week I had to fill in for Shane reviewing new episodes for the Mindset. The one thing I find odd about including this as a repeat is the inclusion of Maria, after she officially retired from the show, and by way of having her name removed...

    RIP John Heard

    The dad from the first two HOME ALONE movies was found dead in a hotel room, where apparently he had some kind of a medical emergency - right now, nobody really knows what the cause of death is, but I guess we'll have some sort of an answer in the days or weeks to come. I remember once reading...

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

    As I've said before, I can believe Steve was trying to fight for the integrity of the Muppets - I've made it clear that I haven't been too happy with some of the decisions that Disney has made either - but what you guys say is true, particular in show business: you get too nitpicky, too...

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

    Which brings up a point: somebody isn't being entirely honest here, so who is it? Are Disney, the Henson family, and other performers like Rick Lyon and Tyler Bunch overplaying Steve's behavior to make him look bad? Is Steve underplaying his behavior to make him look like a victim? This is what...

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

    Of course that's what Jim would have done - trying to keep the peace.

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

    Cheryl, to me, seemed to take all of this far more personally than Lisa and Brian did - I know Steve's comment in particular, "I am Kermit, Kermit is me," really set her off, but still, she did seem to come off as rather harsh in her response; Lisa and Brian were a little more tactful.

    Salvador Dali's corpse was exhumed, and apparently, his mustache was still perfectly intact.

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

    One other thing I will add is that the Henson family said recasting Kermit was long overdue, and I see there's actually a small number of people here and there who agree with the sentiment. Steve's been performing Kermit for 27 years . . . Jim performed him for 35 . . . Steve hasn't been...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Really? Because Clifford's been off my PBS for years - I honestly can't remember the last time I saw Clifford, and I know my PBS conforms to the national schedule now.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I'm guessing ARTHUR may finally be coming to an end soon: it's been dropped from PBS altogether - in fact, THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT has replaced its 6:30am death slot; the PBS Kids digital subchannel still plays it at 9:00 and 9:30 at night, but they dropped the classic episodes...

    Am I imagining things, or do the outlines have that broken, disjointed look like ARTHUR does?

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

    And why shouldn't we all? We continued to be Muppet fans after Jerry passed away; we continued to be Muppet fans after Kevin's scandal forced him to resign from SST; we continued to be Muppet fans when we lost Jane and John Henson within a year of each other; we continued to be Muppet fans when...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I'm really not sure where else to post this, but whatever. So, anyway, a digital subchannel from my cable provider was playing one of the I DREAM OF JEANNIE reunion movies from the 80s, and truth be told, despite my love for the original 60s show, I'm quite mixed about this thing. For...

    Video: Steve Whitmire on The Today Show July 20, 2017

    That's what I was saying yesterday in the other thread: the more this plays out, the more I'm thinking there has to be some truth to what everyone is saying against Steve, because we've got Disney, the Henson family, and even fellow performers like Rick Lyon coming forward and saying the same...
