    Follow That Bird Discussion Thread

    I have looked at the back of the DVD box and noticed one picture that has Big Bird sitting in a vehicle (probably the truck, though it's shot at an angle where it's a little hard to see the truck driver) and looking sad. This wasn't in the movie. was it in the book? I know that Big Bird seemed...

    "I've grown accustomed to your face" in 30 years special

    Oh. I forgot that a year was included. I know that some years were lsited on-screen for some clips. There was one for the clip from The Jack Paar Show with Kermit performing Inchworm. By the way, do you remember what year that clip was from? I wonder why years weren't listed for every clip...

    2005 Macy's parade: Sesame Street

    It's good that they still include Herry, Alice, and Barkly in the thanksgiving day floats even though they don't appear on the show very much anymore. These characters were on last years float as well. When I first saw the reddish monster, I thought he looked like he could have been from one...

    Can anybody list all of the Sesame Street characters who have appeared in all Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, what all of the floats looked like, what songs were sung, and what the various Big Bird balloons looked like? The parade from today (Thanksgiving 2005) featured Big Bird, Elmo, Zoe...

    2005 Macy's parade: Sesame Street

    Was 1974 the first year that the cast appeared in the parade, or just the first year that a Big Bird balloon was shown?

    cat fish

    I don't think Clifford accidently got in the background, or accidently in the jucuzzi. When I first saw the Whoopi Goldberg episode, when they were talking about things they had in common, I was expecting them to mention that they both had dreadlocks. I was surprised that they didn't (would...

    "Christmas Eve" Episode

    these scenes are cut, Charlie brown! That scene was probably in the original television broadcast and later ut for time. I know that most of the videos are uncut, so you'd probably see it there. A Charlie Brown Christmas also had scenes cut after the original broadcast. These scenes...

    Jim's ideas of new shows

    There are a lot of how ideas that Jim Henson pitched to networks in the 1960s that didn't get made, most likely because the networks weren't interested in them. At the time, most networks thought of puppets as being a kids entertainment, and didn't think they'd hold an adult audience. Sure, the...

    Which muppeteers haven't actually met Jim?

    Matt Vogel, Ricky Boyd, and Drew Massey probably didn't meet Jim henson. I also doubt that John Kennedey did, but I could be wrong (the earliest that I know he wokred for the company was 1991, on Dinosaurs, but he could have worked earlier).

    A Very Muppetational Thanksgiving

    Happy Thanksgiving! When naming Chief Zields and Princess Zeefle, I wanted to think of the weirdest names that came to mind, and those names came to mind when I named them. I think that Zeefle also sounds like a variation on Geefle, from the Sesame Street sketch The geefle and The Gonk...
