    Saving Hooper's Store

    Chapter 4 It was almost time for the telethon to begin. “Okay, everybody get ready”, said Prairie Dawn in the control room. “Being the stage manager sure is fun!”, said Murray. “Yes, but being the director is more fun”, said Prairie. Ernie and Bert were setting up the cameras. “It...

    Chapter 3 Everybody was looking for a celebrity host. “I, cute, adorable Grover, am working at a restaurant where celebrities eat at all the time. I am bound to find a celebrity. Oh, there is Miley Cyrus!” Grover ran up to Miley’s table. “Excuse me, Miley, but would you be willing to….”...

    Saving Hooper's Store

    Chapter 2 Sesame Street had a town meeting. “We’re going to see if we can figure out a way to save Hooper’s Store”, said Big Bird, “Doesn’t that sound exciting, Shivers?” Shivers the Penguin nodded. “Fun! Fun!”, said Shivers. “As you all know”, said Alan, “I had to sell my store.”...

    Enjoy this all-new Sesame Street fan fic. Chapter 1 One day Big Bird and Cookie Monster were heading to Hooper’s Store. “I can’t wait until we get there”, said Big Bird, “I sure can’t wait to try the new peanut butter birdseed granola bars.” “And me can’t wait to try Alan’s new super...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    They've said they'll release as much as they can but can't release everything because Caroll has actually shot thousands of hours of home movie footage.

    Favorite Season of the Muppet Show

    My three favorites are the first, third, and fifth. I like the raw feel of the first season. In fact this is something I like about many first seasons. I guess I can see why others dislike it, probably for reasons I like. But it's so much fun, seeing less-than-perfect versions of characters...

    "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story" documentary in development

    I've checked the Kickstarter page, and saw that they need nearly $12,000 more before reaching their goal! Just thought about something: It's been said that one of the incentives for pledging money is a copy of the film's soundtrack. Will this be all original music composed for the film, or...

    How To Create a New Muppet Fan?!!!

    Can't wait to hear what you and your nephew watch tomorrow. Good to know he liked the Ed Sullivan stuff. Personally, I find The Great Muppet Caper to be more exciting than The Muppet Movie (I felt this way even as a kid).

    How To Create a New Muppet Fan?!!!

    If he's a big Animal fan, I'd recommend Rock Music with the Muppets (if you have that one), since it has a lot of Electric Mayhem numbers (including some solo Animal numbers). I would also recommend showign him the episodes with Rita Moreno (the "Fever" number is one of Animal's best scenes)...

    How To Create a New Muppet Fan?!!!

    What I would suggest: The Muppet Movie (you can have him watch The Great Muppet Caper on the next visit, then The Muppets Take Manhattan the visit after that...) 3-4 Muppet Show episodes (I would suggest the ones with Candice Bergen, Madeline Kahn, Bernadette Peters, and Roger Miller) The...

    "A Special Sesame Street Christmas" coming to DVD and CD November 6

    Actually it was somebody from CTW who thought that. I don't think Sesame Workshop owns this special, which would be why it's not being released by Warner Home Video (Sesame Workshop also lacks the distribution rights to Elmo in Grouchland, 20 and Still Counting, and Being Elmo, all of which...

    The Darkwing Duck Thread

    I remember reading a long time ago that there was an episode where Drake Mallard wore a Darkwing Duck costume at a costume party, and the other party guests didn't think he was a very convincing Darkwing. Anybody know which episode this was?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Where did you fidn the poser photos? I've done a number of google searches for this and haven't found anything on this release (the Muppet Wiki page doesn't even show up on the first search page)? I've typed in "sesame street making friends", "sesame street preschool is cool making friends dvd"...

    Oscar's Trashman Bruno

    I always figured that there was a hole in the stomach of Bruno, but then I've been thinking, in the few times we've seen Bruno not carrying a trash can, he's wearing a red shirt, clearly without a hole, and they don't button up his jacket to hide any opening, and I've come to notice that even...
