    Put Down the Duckie celebrities

    Put Down the Duckie hasn't been seen on Sesame Street in years. I wonder if the celebrities are keeping it from being shown. They might make it dated, but then again, quite a few of the celebrities seem to still be popular or semi-popular (Paul Simon, Danny DeVito, maybe even John Candy, even...

    Wait.. so are you the guy who hosts the podcasts? It's too late that I didn't see this until now. Drats!

    Sesame Podcasts

    The newest episode invovles the word "prepared". Segments include: a song about getting up (this song sounds a bit like a recent song that I've hear don the radio a lot, but I don't know the name of that song, either) a pirate shows his captain how he has prepared (I think this is from the...

    has Bruno ever been in the parade?

    I don't know if performing Bruno and Oscar for three stright hours would be as painful as performing Snuffleupagus for three straight hours. Bruno may have worn out long ago, but I think he was still around when the Sesame Street Muppets started appearing in the parade every year.

    Put Down the Duckie celebrities

    Actually, I believe that John Candy made three appearances there.

    Put Down the Duckie celebrities

    Yeah, but considering how popular he was at the time, I'm surprised that he only appeared twice in the song, and didn't even appear in the closing credits for the Sesame Street Special.

    Official Henson Podcast

    The recent one, which mentions recent Henson releases that could be bought as christmas presents, is great. It even acknowledges the release of The Muppet Show: Season Two. It is sad that Sesame Street: Old School Volume 2 wasn't announced as a potential holiday gift.

    Sesame Workshop Staffer!

    No questions have been answere dyet, but I am just trying to keep this thread alive. Anyway, can you tell me what terms and agreements have been made involving the use of Kermit the Frog segments in new episodes and on DVD releases? I guess that Kermit can't appea ron the packaging of any new...

    has Bruno ever been in the parade?

    I just started wondering something. Has Bruno the Trashman ever appeared with the Sesame Street cast in any of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade appearances?

    Your thoughts of The Muppets at Macy's Thankgiving Parade '07

    I saw Big Bird, Elmo, Hoots, Zoe, Ernie, Bert, Abby, Murray, Count, Cookie Monster, Prairie, Grundgetta, Telly, Baby Bear, Grover, Barkley, and Alice there. Snuffy has been outside of the studio more than just in Follow That Bird. He was out of the studio in the hawiai episodes, Don't Eat...

    Nice Idea

    There are two ideas that I have thought of recently. ONe would be a game where Bunsen invents an alternate demension, and as soon as he unleases it, a creature form that demension kidnaps Beaker, and as a cool twist, players cna choose to play as either Bunsen, who must rescue Beaker, or...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    Another great idea would be for sets featuring the "personal favorites" of the cast, crew, and performers. Maybe a disc of Frank Oz's favorite Sesame Street moments, and Caroll Spinney's favorites, and Jerry Nelson's favorites, and so on. I don't know if Frank Oz has ever commented on what his...

    Play With Me Sesame moves to Sprout

    I have read that new epsidoes have been produced (or contracted to be produced), though I don't know if they have aired yet. But I read in another thread that when the show was shown in other countries, segments where Prairie Dawn hosts an art show were cut and repalced with more classic Muppet...

    Put Down the Duckie celebrities

    I was thinking about soemthing regarding Put Down the Duckie the other day. Some of the celebrities only appear once, and some appear multiple times. Does anybody ever wonder how it was decided which ones would only appear once, and which would appear more times? Ladsmith Black Mambazo only...

    2008 Muppet Daily Calendar

    I figured it was from before The Muppets Take Manhattan, since Dr. Teeth seemed to be wearing his fuzzy vest instead of his black leather vest (though I couldn't really tell if that was his vest or a lei, and it looked like the things he wears on his wrists were the version from the late 1980s...

    Your 2008 Merchandise Predictions

    Here are my predictions: 1. How many Henson-related DVDs will be released next year (multi-disc sets count as one; DVD releases of programs that don't neccessarily star any Henson creations but include guest appearances by at least one Henson creation do count, as long as it's the real...

    Your 2008 Merchandise Predictions

    For fun, let's see what we can predict for 2008, Muppet merchandise-wise. I will ask a few questions about what we think will happen next year, and at the end of next year, we can come back to this thread and see who was right, though tis is not a contest. Here are some questions: 1. How...

    Gonzo's Wardrobe

    I like Gonzo's white shirt and grey sweater vest the best. But there are two significant outfits that you forgot to mention. One was his black vest and blue shirt, which he wore in The Muppet Movie and occassionally during the later seasons of The Muppet Show (such as in the "Act Naturally"...

    2008 Muppet Daily Calendar

    Well, while looking through the calendar, I found a picture of Lips there. On the page for September 21/ 22. This page shows a picture of Kermit and Piggy dancing, with the whole Electric Mayhem behind them. I guess this image was originally used for either The Muppet Show Annual or Muppet...

    What If...

    If I'm told that variety is dead (and I hope it isn't), then I would stick with my idea for the Muppets doing a series where eahc episode focuses more on the plot. The Mupets would still be working on a show, but there would be more focus on the pre-and post-show process. Focus on auditoons...
