    Your Sesame Street VHS tape collections

    Well, I had "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" for the longest time on VHS which we kept at my parents' house and can no longer watch since my parents don't have a working VCR anymore, so fortunately I have the DVD copy of that one. We also had a copy of "20 and Still Counting" that my uncle...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Yeah. I know what you mean, sometimes when it happens it does end up being a permanent thing like in Eric's case (even though Frank does still perform his characters on SS on occassion) or a one-shot deal like in Artie's case, so that does leave the question of Billy Backhurst's Ernie. Whether...

    Deena and Pearl

    Thanks for sharing, Drtooth. Seems like Deena makes Ernie look like somebody who's easy to room with. Lol. So is her voice how Elmo used to sound when Brian performed him? Just curious about that. Oh, sorry. I looked it up. Brian was Pearl and Karen was Deena. Disregard my last question.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Yeah. I was a bit concerned there myself, because it seems a bit like that Kismit the Toad deal with Artie Esposito back in 2009. But the biggest difference there is that we have had a discussion about Ernie being recast before this happened, so this is sort of what fans wanted. But with...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I'm guessing you meant to say Kevin there and I disagree. I think Ryan is pretty spot on with Elmo, but oh well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Well, said Tooth. So we give a big kudos to Billy Backhurst for keeping Ernie alive while Steve is busy with other things. Still, it would...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Actually, after seeing Rachel's video, I think that may have been the problem with MT altogether. :):o:concern: I think that may have been the problem with MT. It's nice that this new show will have sort of an ongoing plot. After all, how often did Kermit and Piggy even interact on Muppets...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Well, you never know. It could have been a little bit of both reasons. I guess that's one of those things that could go either way.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Well, the nice thing is this may give some human characters a chance for more airtime. We know that Maria's gone, but we may see more of Susan and Bob. Just a thought. Thanks for letting us know, Oscar. I think with that said we can probably still discuss the eps on the forum when they...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Thanks for that info, Oscar. That's what I thought when I reread the first post, but it's good to reiterate that. I have to agree with mr3's comment as well the last few years they never really had more than a half hour worth of new material, so decreasing the length of time of the show...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I just saw the news on NBC and I've stayed up to date on all the changes such as Sonia's retirement and the change of the set, but I didn't know that it would switch networks. So does this mean it will just be reran on PBS for five years? That is a big chance especially since SS has been on...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Dwayne, I think you just described "Summerland." Not sure a lot of people here would remember that show. But that was definitely a similar plot.

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    I still have that Muppets Family Reunion comic book where Skeeter had a major role. That would have been a great idea for the next chapter.

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Yeah. I know what you mean because I checked imdb.com the other day and Kermit the Frog himself had a profile, talking about the actual Kermit the Frog rather than Steve Whitmire. I liked the ALF comparison too. I actually never knew that Paul played him until years later.

    Not that much help, Jazzy. Lol.

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Yeah. That's sort of what I was thinking. The relationship was never really mutual from the get go. :) and :mad: were actually not established as an official couple until recent years. Heck, even in Kermit's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel or Craig Ferguson or whatever show he was on to promote...

    Sorry for the double post, but I reread your post, Neil and realized that this is something only a mod could do. What got me interested about it was like I said I know the feeling, my posts get ignored too, especially my ongoing question about the Big Bird and Billie Dee sketch, so I know how...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    Yeah. My work schedule has gotten in the way of me watching the show at times as well, but hopefully they'll still show the half hour version on the web as well.

    Believe me, Neil. I know how it feels to have posts ignored. I'll try to look into that for you and get back to you on that.

    Sonia Manzano will not be on Sesame Street after Season 45

    Oh, I never knew that was the case with other kids shows. But I see what you mean, after all the show was still in it's earlier years when Gordon was recast, so they probably wouldn't do that in this day and age. I am going to have to disagree with you about the possibility of recasting Mr...
