    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    When Jerry Nelson said to buy his album at the end of the interview, does anybody know whether he was joking or if he's actually releasing an album? I haven't heard anything about an actual Jerry Nelson album. In fact, while many fans have mentioend that he has a seperate music career outside of...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    Has this season shown anything where Ernie was performed by Jim Henson? I would hate for an entire season to lack a Jim Henson sketch... Were any Henson performances on the show last year?

    What bonus features would you like on The Muppet Show Season 4?

    I don't think any episodes of Muppet Babies, Little Muppet Monsters, The Jim Henson Hour, Muppets Tonight, or Muppets TV belong on this set.

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    I didn't say it was impossible, I was just wondering if it's ever actually common. As I said, there were quite a few instances where the restaurants were all out of Mr. Johnson's orders. Examples include: the sketch listed as "All Out of Food" on Old School Vol. 2... Obviously the place is...

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service, but I wonder if it's really more the restarant's fault than Grover's. Grover is just the waiter, not the cook. It's not Grover's fault that the alphabet soup didn't have every letter at first, and I don't think it was Grover's idea for the...

    Mr. Johnson in the 1980's

    While looking at Muppet Wiki, I noticed that the earliest-known appearance of the "O'Briens Fast Food Restaurant" sketch was a season 20 episode. That's one more 1980s appearance!

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    You only had a few hours... But it feels like the whole interview lasts under 30 minutes. I don't really think of Featherstone as being that obscure... Granted, he's never been a big part of any Henson television series, and his two best-known appearances are in specials that haven't been...

    Mr. Johnson's seating arrangement

    After watching one of them again and looking at the area around the door, I can see that it IS a different set, though a little similar. I also recently noticed that the "alphabet soup" sketch has a different colored door than in later sketches from the early years. It looks more reddish...

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    Part 3 has been posted. I must say, I really liked parts 2 and 3 better. I believe that there's only a few recurring characters not discussed. I think the only really important characters not brought up are Featherstone and Simon Soundman. I also wish that he would have talked about Beard from...

    The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland: 10th Anniversary FanFic

    (the residents of both Sesame Street and Grouchland are both hanging out on Sesame Street. Party decorations are everywhere) Elmo: Oh, hi. Elmo is so glad you are here. Today, we are celebrating the tenth anniversary of The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, Elmo's one and only movie. The...

    Muppets From Space: 10th Anniversary FanFic

    Kermit, Gonzo, Rizzo, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Animal, Pepe, Scooter, Rowlf, Floyd, Bunsen, Beaker, Clifford, Janice, and Sweetums were all gathered in the living room of the boarding house. Kermit: Well, it's been ten years since our last theatrically-released film, Muppets From Space. Pepe...

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    It was said that the next part will discuss Sesame Street and Saturday Night Live. I hope this one includes another round of character discussions (only from Sesame Street... I'd like for him to talk about more than The Count and maybe Herry Monster and Snuffy). That fact about Sweetums in...

    Question about Disney and licensing characters.

    Those are good points, though I wonder how one would explain Disney allowing for Kermit to make a cameo in Mister Magoriums Wonder Emporium, a movie from FOX. I haven't seen the movie but I assume it's on DVD. It's also a bit odd when just a few years after buying the Muppets, Disney...

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    Well, part two is now online, and while the first part looked a lot like the Muppet Central interview from around 10 years ago, this part focuses on many of his characters, though not Statler or any of his Sesame Street characters.

    New Video: Ringing of the Bells

    It sure is good, though not as good as Bohemian Rhapsody. This may belong in a different thread, but MuppetsStudio also uploaded a video of Kermit and Whoopi Goldberg promoting a Kermit pin, sales of which go to a charity... I forget what it's called, but you can find it by looking through...

    Anticipating the TP Jerry Nelson interview!

    Good so far, though it looks a lot like the Muppet Central interview. I noticed that many interviews with the performers ask about their beginnings with the Muppets. Even the kinds run by people whom I'd expect to be hardcore enough to know this kind of information (Muppet Central, The...

    Question about The 12 Days of Christmas from A Christmas Together TV Special

    Also, when the Muppets sing, the audio is pre-recorded, so the only way it would be possible for a Muppet to make a mistake while singing is in the audio room.

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    I found a funny clip called Elections Day, in which Big Bird and Snuffy learn about voting. And I think this is the first clip on the website where Snuffy's former "imaginary" status is directly mentioned.

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    It's Guessing Day with Abby Cadabby. Quite a few christmas clips have been added, including "Gift From the Heart", the sites title for the Bert and Ernie scenes from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. Oddly enough all the scenes are shown together in one clip, unlike the various multi-part...
