    TV Alert: Miss Piggy and Swedish Chef on MasterChef Junior May 4, 2017

    I forgot this was happening. I'll just assume it was mediocre and think about watching it at some point.

    Your Thoughts: Muppet Central Radio on Radionomy

    I'm sure you're aware by now probably, but there's a number of instances where the song title and song haven't been matching. For example, "Keep Fishin'" wast just "Weezer - ????" And right now, E&B's version of "What's the Name of That Song?" is listed as "Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu - La Cité De...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4717 - Bike Show with a Beat

    I understand the "kids can watch these in any order or whenever so continuity isn't an issue" thing, but I dunno; they could've just made this more vague. Nina could've just been throwing a party to drum up business, not "grand opening." And if they're going with that, why not air it earlier in...

    Statler and Waldorf - "Hot and 100" BBMAs Video

    To be fair, the Muppets really haven't done anything since the Outside Lands festival. I'm willing to bet Steve didn't want to / wasn't able to come in for the Thanksgiving Parade, but like, what else have we gotten since? Those "Thoughts of the Week" stuff were done on the East Coast, I'm...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4716 - Make Your Garden Grow

    It was filmed a couple of years ago or so, but hasn't been played on the show until now. It's been shown on international editions and the YouTube channel, but this is its first time airing on the actual show. Yes, "Gardens."

    International skits on Youtube...

    I fall behind on uploading to my Plaza Sesamo channel, mostly because I just forget to, even though I have dozens more stuff to put up. But anywho, I'm gonna add more this week in celebration of Earth Day, so here's what Willie Wimple (or Memo Mendez) sounds like in Spanish:

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    These had to have been made around the time they were shooting TMM/TMS. All the main guys were gone, so they couldn't come in for Ernie and Bert, Cookie, Kermit, Grover etc. bits, so they had use whatever "new kids" they had for puppteering. I see no other explanation of doing (at least) four...

    Little things we've noticed

    In all forms of media, time is money. There's about eight different scenes not on the street set in that song and they had to spend probably a short amount of time setting each one up. Changing the entire puppets' outfits for each one would've been much more time consuming.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4715 - Meet Julia

    I thought it was nice and sweet. Sesame is doing the Lord's work yet again. I was a little worried when the theme would be "friends," and they'd reused basically all the inserts from the previous "friend"-themed shows, but they instead went with a bunch of random, short segments, which I liked...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4714 - Painting with Cookie Monster

    Skipped through the repeat stuff, as per the usual. The street story was about three minutes shorter than the original airing, though I didn't compare to see what was cut. I'm getting a little tired of these "Letter of the day" films, though. Like, P for Painting. Why not have the kids paint P...

    "Julie's Greenroom" series with Julie Andrews coming to Netflix in 2017

    I kinda got bored mid-way through the first episode and moved on to something else. I should probably give it another chance.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4713 - Get Ready for Today

    Meh. The scene with Elmo and Crystal at night was cute and funny (love that she slept in a catchers mitt), but the rest was kinda uninteresting. Someone else was clearly performing Abby, with Leslie's voice dubbed in before or after. I'm gonna after, because the Muppeteer was hamming it up much...

    Milo Murphy's Law: Upcoming Disney XD Cartoon series

    And besides, it actually ties them directly into Milo's stories, rather than just sort of happening on the sidelines without affecting the plot at all like they had them do in a few episodes.

    Milo Murphy's Law: Upcoming Disney XD Cartoon series

    I wouldn't say one can "Flanderize" a character within the first few episodes of a series.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4712 - Big Bird's Song

    I liked the street story; plenty of Big Bird and nice to see Snuffy along for the ride. And Biff and Sully! And I dig the fact that they're loosening up a little on using more shorter segments, but...could we maybe vary them up a little? Going from a song featuring Abby to...a song sung by Abby...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4709 - Norbert's Birthday

    See, I have a slight hang-up with these one-shot characters being used this season because when we learned they were tightening the character focus, I thought it would focus the stories more on that core group and last season pretty much did. If you have a main six, then all the rest of the cast...
