    Beauty and the Beast 2017 Disney remake

    Saw it tonight and didn't like it. Overall, I thought they spend too much time either trying to repeat what was done in the original or try to address/fix certain elements in the original that weren't explained well or may have been plot hole-ish (Belle's mom, establishing a better connection...

    Videos featuring Muppet Julia debut on Sesame Street's YouTube Channel

    It's still an episode; not sure what content there will be other than the story.

    Videos featuring Muppet Julia debut on Sesame Street's YouTube Channel

    (Hate to double post) For all you who don't get HBO, the "Meet Julia" episode is going to air on both PBS and HBO, Mon. April 10th.

    Videos featuring Muppet Julia debut on Sesame Street's YouTube Channel

    It's web-exclusive stuff; don't expect their A-game, production-wise.

    TV Alert: Sesame Street introduces new Muppet Julia on 60 Minutes March 19, 2017

    Fantastic segment. I hate to see the state PBS is facing, but Sesame really got out (in a way) at the right time. I'm glad they have proper funding so they can continue doing stuff like this.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4711 - Baby Bear Learns About Bees

    I didn't think they had any long-form segments about bees, but sure enough, they use an unaired Smart Cookies from last season which has honey in it. It was pretty neat. I'm still not a fan of the films, or how they're presented. "B is for Bees". The segment doesn't teach the letter B; it talks...

    Does Bert and Ernie's apartment still exist?

    Yeah, but they're not using E&B as much now, so it doesn't matter that he has a new performer.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Yes, that will solve everything!

    Does Bert and Ernie's apartment still exist?

    The last use I know of was the "I Wonder" song from 2010. I don't think they've used it since because A. Steve's availability limiting their screen time and B. they've done stuff mainly for international usage and they're set in parks and such to make the look more universal.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4710 - Elmo Comes Clean

    Noel also has tons of experience large, full-body characters (BITBBH, Eureeka's Castle).

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4710 - Elmo Comes Clean

    This is how I thought the new episodes would/should be formatted like; one long-form piece with a bunch of little segments. Nice to see Ernie in action at last. Didn't expect to see those two random, re-used musical numbers, but I guess they didn't have much material of baths. I dug the new...

    Milo Murphy's Law: Upcoming Disney XD Cartoon series

    So, new episodes are finally coming out this month. If you have full access to Watch Disney XD, you can see the majority of the new episodes now. I'm not 100% enthralled by it yet, though and I can't really articulate why. It seems kind unfocused. "Secrets and Pies" has probably the loosest /...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4709 - Norbert's Birthday

    Well, they usually have Honkers milling around behind the counter when Alan or Chris aren't inside.

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4709 - Norbert's Birthday

    I'll say this: it was really weird to open both the cold open and street story with essentially random characters (both played by Marty coincidentally). I don't know if Norbert is going to be a recurring guy, or it's just another one-off use o the fancy, expensive robot puppet - didn't really...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    See, but that was a different era. By the 1980s, tapes were becoming much cheaper. I can't imagine they would even consider doing something like that beyond like the first season or two, especially in the mid-80s where it was abundantly clear the gravy train was not stopping. I'm so tired of...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    It's a fair assessment to make that they've probably lost a few shows here and there, especially from the early seasons. I doubt anything beyond the seventies is missing.
