    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    Considering there was the whole NY Times article, I think it's safe to say they had this planned for a little while now. I don't recall them doing anything for Fran (aside from the in-joke in The Cookie Thief special). I do remember when Jerry passed away, the YouTube channel uploaded a few...

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    I've heard second/third-hand rumors that he was either going to be one of the telethon celebrity phone operators, or they were going to use him instead of Pepe in that brief Dirty Dancing scene.

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    I've been told they also don't have their entire library digitized, so that could just very well be one of the reasons.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    I don't know what to say that others haven't said already - he's earned it and it was an immense pleasure to be able to actually meet him (and get his autograph/an original doodle).

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    To each their own, I guess. This one went a little longer than most of their episodes (not that I minded much; quality stuff), so I can see why they'd keep that kind of thing out in the interest of moving things along (no pun [?] intended) Plus, I don't think Ryan or Anthony would be laughing...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    They also do the stream during the lunch break, so it's possible that they just want to have as much time as possible to take a break and eat.

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    I haven't listened to the newest episode yet, but even I wouldn't enjoy the two of them just reading every single character name. That'd be, like, 10 minutes of dull content.

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I mean, they were very vague in how they described it. But, the were only raising $100,000 for the entire shebang and I don't know how much they could spend on set building.

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I can't see them going much further beyond the stoop they made, but I'm intrigued as to where this is going.

    The Cookie Monster Nosh!

    Honestly, these viral video songs lately have been kind of poorly written (this one included).

    The Muppets to appear in Carpool Karaoke: The Series Season 2!

    If this is getting a second season, it clearly reached enough people to make an impact. And yeah, no doubt someone will spread it around the normal web so non-subscribers can see it.

    Moving Up the Ranks

    John Lovelady wasn't really that strong a puppeteer from what I've seen; not a bad singer, though. Brian did an interview with Getting Felt Up not long ago and he chose to leave to focus on his family (which he wasn't seeing much of because of the demanding production schedules) and try and do...

    Huh, that's something.

    Moving Up the Ranks

    I often think about Rick Lyon and despite directly working with Jim on things and actually studying the art of puppetry, he never really rose to anything beyond the occasional one-off AM. And then in comes somebody a year or so after, Joey, who has no prior experience and within a year or so...

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    Most likely, it was taped during season 11, but not aired until the following season for whatever reason. So, when they're putting those DVDs together, they were probably looking at the production codes for the bits and not the aired episodes.
