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...
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...
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 &...
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...
i LOVE the archive of american television interview series. also be sure to catch:

hey ernie, i have the won't we fall off closer--i made it into a separate track so i'll send it along now.
i do have the other one you're looking for too, but i haven't made it into an mp3 yet & i'm out of town for about a month. i'll gladly send it when i get home, i've been meaning to make...
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...
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...
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...
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...
This is a thread to discuss ideas for and experiences of teaching with muppets. Has anybody used Sesame Street or Muppet video in the classroom? Have anyone's kids learned something cool from watching muppets? Does anyone have ideas about how the art, music, or scripts could be used for...
very cool. welcome to the forum! i'm an educator too of sorts and i LOVE to think/talk about teaching...and muppets...so i'd love to hear more about how you teach with them. ideas & experiences about using muppets in the classroom is a topic rather lacking in this forum...i'm going to go start...
wow, i just bought a book & cd set published in 2007 that i am VERY impressed with. i highly recommend Get Your Grouchies Out, which is four little board books & a cd, narrated by Bob. the cd includes two songs & a narration of each of the books, which are all on the theme of feelings. all of...
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...
i have peligro--where should i send it?
i don't have the evening at pops version--i would love it too if anyone has any of the songs from that special. but i do have 8 other versions if you want one or more of those, sung by: raposo, kids, ernie, elmo & whoopi goldberg, elmo & rosita, suzie...
