    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    I have a feeling that if a new Muppet TV series were made they won't make the mistake of introducing so many new characters at once while only a handful of classic characters get plenty of screen time. I felt confident of this even before the Disney buy-out. Sure, Statler and Waldorf: From the...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    I don't know if it's because of Sesame Workshop's financial problems or what, but I noticed that this year Herry, Alice, and Barkely were all absent from the float. I don't know if they were also missing last year, but it is sad that these characters didn't appear, even though any of them are...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    Wouldn't it be funny if on SNL tonight they did a sketch parodying Cookie Monster's audition tape? If the show did it would mean that somebody at SNL is aware of this.

    The Muppet Mindset

    Very good. But when listing your old friends you forgot to list The British Correspondent. He'll probably be upset (unless you secretly did list his name, as we don't know his actual name).

    Any idea how Two-headed Monster scenes are scripted?

    That was actually answered by Jim Lewis in the "Brand New Ask Jim Lewis Thread". Somebody else actually asked again, and was told what had been answered: After that, DWMcKim said that he has some Muppet Show scripts with Swedish Chef sketches, and noted that those scripts only wrote the...

    Jim Henson's Red Book

    Today the site has detailed information on the 1971 appearance on The Dick Cavett Show, including scans of a script rundown which notes stuff that was planned but cut for time. I don't think any of us fans have video footage from this, but I know somebody recorded the audio from it when it...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    Actually, no it wasn't. Animal appeared many times on the show (and was the only one with dialogue on the show). Floyd made a cameo in the Garth Brooks episode. Zoot made appearances in the Billy Crystal and Cameo Show episodes. But adding a new house band who didn't really do anything...

    Muppet marathons past and present

    Man, if only I had cable when Muppet Babies entered Nickelodeon. Of course I did get cable shortly after MB reruns were being run on Nick, but still... Oh, and I was wrong about the dates of the marathons I listed. Any marathon that I previously said was broadcast in 1992 was actually...

    Muppet marathons past and present

    There was a Muppet Marathon on Nickelodeon that aired on Memorial Day in 1992. Each hour alternated between a Muppet special and two episodes of Muppet Babies. I can't remember what Muppet Babies episodes aired, but the specials were The Frog Prince, The Muppet Musicians of Bremen, The Secrets...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    When was the last time Frank Oz performed Cookie Monster (or Bert)? I know he last performed Grover in season 40, but it seems like its been forever since Oz performed Cookie Monster.

    Little things we've noticed

    I was watching the Sesame Street News clip where Kermit asks the three little pigs how they feel about the Big Bad Wolf blowing their houses down. With the mid-1980s title card, the title card actually raises up from the screen, as opposed to fading to the first scene. I wonder if there are...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    You know, people at Tough Pigs are saying that this is what Betty White did to get a hosting gig on the show, and I can't help but wonder why "Weird Al" Yankovic hasn't done something like this (at least as a parody) to get on the show. If Cookie Monster succeeds, I wonder if they'll put...

    Cookie Monster makes SNL audition tape on YouTube

    If Cookie Monster DID host the show, I wonder if his involvement would be the same as the average SNL host, or if he'd be featured less (or more?)? I think I'd rather see Ernie and Bert, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, or Kermit (which would be out of Sesame Workshop's controll) host it than...

    Ranking Sesame Street Recurring Segments

    Ernie's Show and Tell debuted in season 30, a few years before the format change. I'm pretty sure it wasn't in nearly every episode when it debuted (unlike Elmo's World), and after the season 33 format change while it did appear from time to time it never did become a daily/semi-daily segment...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    The month's almost over, and still no sign of when the next issue will be released. They must be skipping this month (of course I think there was a month when two issues of The Muppet Show Comic Book came out).

    Any idea how Two-headed Monster scenes are scripted?

    One thing I've been wondering for years: If the Two-Headed Monster appears in a script, how does the script identify which head says what? Would a script refer to the heads by their names (whether it be "Horns and Harndart" or "Frank and Stein"), or would it refer to them as "Left Head" and...

    Is it ok for a character's style to evolve?

    The Electric Mayhem HAS changed it's regular wardrobe over the years, and with the exception of Janice all of them seem to have gone back to their original outfits at times during the past decade. During the 1980s Dr. Teeth switched from a furry colorful vest to a black leather vest...
