    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    i didn't mind jelly bean as much as the splashes around him--they looked more nickelodeon than sesame street. but that guy was the only one to put another muppet in there, and not one of the ones that super popular today, either. the problem with truly representing a show with an ensemble cast...

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    yay! i'm happy with the outcome. and it was cool that all the chefs seemed to love sesame street. but geez, what an awful program concept--all fake exaggerated drama and unconstructive criticisms, like most of the fn shows. but i thought all the cakes turned out pretty cute. though i don't...

    Food Network Challenge: Sesame Street Cakes

    hmm, i'm not sure parente is the best sw representative to judge. she doesn't like the big bird cake guy creating his own muppet character...while i don't like the character too much, doesn't sesame street encourage creativity? the elmo design looks the most creative, with a tv parody theme &...

    Has Big Bird lost his appeal?

    i can't speak for today's tots, but i don't see big bird lacking in merchandise. it's just not overwhelmingly big bird-centered merchandise like it was back in the day (just try finding non-bird sesame street stuff from the '80s...). but i bet that it wasn't popularity with the kids that made...

    Any big Murray fans?

    yes! murray rocks. he's single-handedly bringing back everything that the most recent sesame street has been starting to leave out: a prominent character who is older than 3, muppet/human interaction, slapstick & improv comedy, and the less polished more real feel that goes along with all of...

    Teaching With Muppets

    hmmm...the muppets' tribute to jim henson might be the best, because it talks about jim's life and introduces the muppet characters as well. here's the link to part 1 of 5, they're all on youtube. the of muppets and men documentary is on youtube in 6 parts. and i'm sure you could get a higher...

    that is sad. that is even sadder. sorry, :o i overanalyze this stuff WAY too much, i know. (i'm a graduate student...) take my posts on the reader/performer/imagination relationships in the sesame street magic apple skit...absolute conversation killers. but once i started looking at that...

    Teaching With Muppets

    ooh, nifty--behind the scenes muppeteer as creative role model is an interesting angle. did you show video clips, & if so which ones, and how did you talk about them & the relationship btw creator and artistic creation? what age group are the kids? were there certain characters they particularly...

    Saturday Morning Cartoon Collection warning...Saturday Morning Cartoon Collection war

    i think it's the culture of frivolous lawsuits and 24-hour entertainment "news" that does this. 1) i can't imagine that the people who are releasing this material actually believe it's harmful for kids. 2) i can't imagine they think any parent is actually going to listen to the warning label...

    Favorite Human CastMembers

    i'll add my voice to the chorus of girls whose hearts skip a beat when Bob smiles. and oh, when he sings! i like most the humans a lot, but Bob seems to have the sweetest and most approachable personality. and great empathy. if i lived on sesame street, he'd be the one i'd talk to if i was...
