    Sweetum's voices in Letters to Santa

    I don't think John Henson performed in Letters to Santa.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Well, Tough Pigs now has a five-page preview of the first "On the Road" issue, and it's said that Tough Pigs will start showing preview pages for the comics (so I guess we don't have to cosntantly check comic book resources anymore). I noticed that the artwork looks a little bit different...

    Bert and Ernie in Elmo Saves Christmas

    Yes. His first Ernie performance was in the season 25 sketch where Ernie and Bert go fishing. He also performed Ernie in 1993's Sesame Street Stays Up Late special.

    It's now Weather Day with Zoe. Ironic, as it's starting to get colder where I live.

    Merchandise featuring the SST humans

    I don't know if this should count, but I think there was a Mr. Noodle toy made as part of some kind of Elmo's World set. I don't know how difficult it would be to negotiate likenesses for the human characters, but I wonder if they would be a huge seller with today's kids. Toys of the humans...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Well, I found a copy of "Pigs in Space", and it is better than I expected. I wasn't too big a fan of the artwork when I saw it online, but I'm liking it better in person. I noticed that many minor characters seem to be miscolored... Thog, a Java Muppet, I can't tell if that's Mildred or...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    It's been reported that the first in the "On the Road" storyline and the "Peg-Leg Wilson" paperback will come out on th sixth, but comic book resources doesn't have previews for either, yet does have previews for other Boom! titles coming out this week.

    Out To Lunch

    Back when Shout! Factory released DVDs of The Electric Company, I was a bit surprised that this special wasn't included as a bonus feature. I feel like this special probably belongs as a bonus feature on a collectible Electric Company or Sesame Street DVD.

    Similarities between Bruno's and Krang's Bodies

    This might sound crazy, but for some reason, when I was younger, I thought that if Krang's android body could talk, it would sound like Bruno.

    Will there be an Old School Vol. 3 DVD?

    I was thinking the other night, since Warner Bros. seems more interested in releasing two-disc collections of it's animation properties than four discs, maybe there could be two-disc Sesame Street collections, similar to the Looney Tunes Golden Collections, but each disc could have seperate...

    A thought about about full episode dvds.

    Another thought: Maybe Warner Bros. can have a collection of full episodes and call them the "Sesame Street Showcase Collection". And there can be a collection of single-disc releases called the "Sesame Street Spotlight Collection", featuring just inserts (or maybe inserts and street scenes but...

    When's the Last Time we had a Celebrity Version?

    You know, in the recent 40th anniversary book, there are scans from a pitch from Christopher Cerf regarding celebrities he wanted to Put Down the Duckie, and among the ones listed were Kermit and Miss Piggy.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    Anybody notice how in Martin Robinson's page, it says that Buster was originally performed by Frank Oz? I know that Oz performed the puppet in the Kermit News: Hickory Dickory Dock sketch, but I doubt he was called Buster then. Jerry Nelson also performed the puppet in Kermit News: Humpty...

    Bert and Ernie in Elmo Saves Christmas

    I wonder if maybe Steve Whitmire was only available to perform Kermit's scene, which was presented on a TV and used a different set (though I don't know whether the regular street set is set up at all times). Frank Oz probablly had limited availability; the scenes with Grover and Cookie Monster...

    When's the Last Time we had a Celebrity Version?

    The real question is, when's the last time an outside ficticious character appeared in such a montage? I'll say it's when Lamb Chop appeared in The Alphabet Song. Hmmm, these montages feature every guest star of the season... Maybe Sesame Workshop needs to have a crossover appearance in...

    Me, neither. I wonder if that should count the segments as being "edited" or not.

    I must point out that the detailed information posted at the Muppet Wiki page came from somebody who had a copy of the script for the special, not somebody with a copy of the actual special.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    It's interesting to see how many early photos there are of Caroll Spinney wearing half of the Big Bird suit, considering he's made a policy for so long of not posing for pictures in half the suit. In a recent interview he said that it's because in 1970 a photographer from Look Magazine managed...
