    This Week in Sesame Street at Sesame Workshop's site

    Well, I found that a few new entries have been posted in the last few weeks, including an interview with Caroll Spinney.

    April Fools: Muppets....I dunno.... something about a duck?

    Part of me wonders why the "April Fools" title was even needed here. It doesn't come off as an april fools joke to me. The title seems to be confused, while the post just tells us he knows it's April Fools Day.

    April Fools: The Muppets in Narnia Special is Coming!

    I guess I missed a post where this was announced. But I don't mind much, since I anticipate these kinds of posts on April Fools Day. I saw this thread before "April Fools" was added, and suspected it. And it is a bit fun to speculate on how the april fools jokes will be handled (even if only for...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    A few ideas I think are funny (but some of which maybe would have pushed the joke too far) that I thought up AFTER posting this thread: An episode where Gordon beats Susan at a game of checkers, and uncharacteristically boasts about it to his buddies. Then Susan falls and hits her face on the...

    April Fools: Sesame Street to target older audiences directly

    I was reading on the Sesame Workshop blog that Sesame Workshop plans to stop targeting the show at pre-preschool children and focus more directly at the older audiences -- teens, adults, and fans like us! Since season 43 was produced at the same time as season 42, it'll still air as planned...

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    I remember America's Funniest People (I first saw that the night I first saw America's Funniest Home Videos), and I liked that one a lot better. I like Dave Coulier better than Bob Saget, I liked the Jackalope... I can't remember many speciffic moments from that show, but the same can be said...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    Whenever something animated wins an award and the animated characters are shown making their acceptance speeches, do the companies producing them know the winner in advance, or do all studios actually animate acceptance speeches or what? The only examples I know of are at least two of the times...

    I miss Rizzo!

    Part of this is a bit ironic, because in a recent Muppet Mindset interview, one of the background performers (whose name I forget) said that Matt Vogel let him perform Sweetums in a few scenes, including when Sweetums chased the car (one of the characters few lines in the movie). And I've read...

    My own personal open rant

    I figured that. I feel most of my family might be biased on my creativity, though there's some relatives who I don't think are biased like that. But it makes me wonder how hard it is to work with family and/or friends in a creative business, especially if you are in the hiring/firing...

    Are there any Gonzo Bobblehead Dolls?

    I'm pretty sure there's not one yet. Funko is coming out with a collection of Muppet bobbleheads this july, but Gonzo won't be included in the first assortment (maybe there'll be a second series).

    Why does everyone overreact to bad swings in entertainment?

    I read on Mark Evanier's blog that Scooby Doo was originally intended on being based on Dobie Gillis, but by the time it premiered it no longer resembled that series.

    My own personal open rant

    This is the first I've heard of KGZ, and it's also the first I've heard of people not liking self-promotion. Had no idea some thought it was a big deal. You seem to be one of the more-respected members here, so it's hard to believe you'd turn off a big number of people just by advertising on...

    "Hidden Messages" in The Muppets (2011)

    I feel like it might not be as noticable because it's during the credits, when people in the theater might start getting up and leaving despite there being more (and the sounds of them leaving could distract those trying to watch). Something has hit me: The new Disney "Intermission" feature...

    What improvements would you have made to The Muppets Film 2012 (spoilers)

    A few ideas of what they could have had Walter say, regarding minor characters.... While bringing the gang back together, Walter could have suggested picking up Thog next. Or, if the scene with "Mahna Mahna" playing on the radio wasn't cut, it could have inspired Walter to suggest locating...

    Are Gonzo and Grover related?

    I've also noticed similarities when I was younger, like their sur colors and the fact that both names begin with a G.

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    Well, I was told that my aunt took my 1-year-old cousin to see the Lorax, and that the 1-year-old hated it. I don't exactly know if it was the movie or the experience of being in a movie theater, though we took her to see The Muppets and didn't make much of a fuss. But you could take this as a...

    My Justin Bieber Rant and Rave

    Yeah, while most of my favorite groups/bands/singers started out decades ago (if not exclusive to a decade), there are still some good current performers, like Kelly Clarkson (though I'm not really sure whether she's still current), Nora Jones (ditto), Katy Perry, and OK Go. So not all current...

    Little things we've noticed

    I'm not saying you're wrong, but I watch music videos from the 1980s a lot more than videos from later. While I agree some do feel like they tell stories (Take on Me, Beat It, I Promise You, Love is a Battlefield, maybe Can't Fight This Feeling), it seems to me like they are more about quick...
