    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 36

    Well, I haven't watched SS in ages...just snippets. I've read what's been going on with SS, and even though it's still there for kids, I still stand by my opinion of modern SS, with my opinion about "Hewo Guy", (hey, that's how Baby Bear pronounces his name)...

    A possible Sesame Street figure...

    Okay folks, even though we've come to the end of the Palisades line for the Muppets (after Uncle Deadly), we can look forward to the Sesame Street figures. Yay! One character I'd like to see as a Sesame Street figure which HAS appeared on Sesame Street is Beautiful Day Monster. Yeah, he's a...

    Big Bird Dream I've mentioned this dream I had about Big Bird in another thread, but I'll post it again here: Okay, I had just got the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" and at the time, I was trying to find an authentic Big Bird feather for my collection. I read about how Big Bird's feathers are...

    Did Frank Oz ever have a heart attack?

    Thanks I think that's what happened...the whole getting "Frank Oz" mixed up with "Frank L. Baum" and the "Wizard of Oz" thing. Seeing "Frank" and "Oz" together in the same article can cause some confusion among some folks. Anyway, I certainly didn't mean to upset, alarm or offend anyone...

    Hey everyone, Ever notice that some of Fraggle Rock's funniest moments happen when Red is about ready to fly off the handle? When I'm at work, I think of this stuff, and even though I've seen these episodes zillions of times, these moments still get me through some of the most dreary of...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on Extreme Makeover

    Yeah! I really liked this Muppet appearance. I liked the "How'd They Do That" on tonight even better. The Muppets got to see the Harris family come home! Now just think how you'd feel if Kermit the Frog himself was going "Yaaaay!" if you came home one day? Pretty cool. One part I really...

    Grover's "O'Reference" to Mr. McIntosh

    Hey everyone, I just finished watching the Grover/Fat Blue sketch where they are in the "O'Brien's Fast Food Restaurant". (An obvious reference to McDonald's). But that's not the reference I'm talking about. I think Grover makes a reference to Chet O'Brien, or Mr. McIntosh in the sketch...

    Sesame skit with balls on chrome tracks

    Frank Oz? You bet! I visited "The Vision of Jim Henson" exhibit a while back, and they had a photo of that Doozer construction-like roller coaster sculpture that the ball rolled on. According to the caption under the photo, the "chrome roller coaster" was constructed by none other than Frank...

    Why is Sesame Street slowly dying?

    Hmmm..... About change... Well, here's my two cents. First off, I'm one of those folks who is "nostalgic" for the old Sesame, but I'm glad that Sesame Street is around for today's kids, even though it isn't "our" Sesame. I'll stand by what I said in a post I made about the special "The...
