    I don't know. It seems like Olivia always had more patience with the Muppets than Maria.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Yeah. That's something that often bothered me with "Real Ghostbusters" episodes, that they redubbed a lot of the first season episodes with the later voices. I know they were probably trying to do that to appeal to kids who watched the show who didn't know about the earlier voices, but when...

    Joey Calvan (the little girl who sang the alphabet with Kermit)

    Oh, I doubt that. While Kermit always had a good heart, he is pretty notorious for losing his cool at times. While Snuffy's always been a big softie. The only time I've really seen him get mad was in the Miles adoption episode when Big Bird left him to help with Miles. I may be getting a bit...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Yeah. I think that's where they worked with Miss Piggy at first. Around the eyes, or maybe it was the face. I mean, I wasn't around in 1977 so who knows? Lol.

    Joey Calvan (the little girl who sang the alphabet with Kermit)

    So she'll be serious with Snuffy but not with Kermit. That's something to think about. But since Snuffy was considered 'imaginary' around the time, I guess she felt for him and wanted to take him seriously. :)

    Joey Calvan (the little girl who sang the alphabet with Kermit)

    Yeah. Seems like there are a lot of mysteries concerning people who have been on SS in the early years. Better call the Scooby-Doo gang. Lol. Seriously though, it has been in question for many years who played Gordon in the test shows before Garrett Saunders was discovered. I also wonder...

    ABC Orders Muppet Pilot To Series!

    Well, I don't know. Maybe they intentionally tried to avoid making her as attractive as Miss Piggy. But in that case, Piggy wouldn't feel threatened by her. Just a few thoughts.

    Your Sesame Street VHS tape collections

    Well, I had "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" for the longest time on VHS which we kept at my parents' house and can no longer watch since my parents don't have a working VCR anymore, so fortunately I have the DVD copy of that one. We also had a copy of "20 and Still Counting" that my uncle...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Yeah. I know what you mean, sometimes when it happens it does end up being a permanent thing like in Eric's case (even though Frank does still perform his characters on SS on occassion) or a one-shot deal like in Artie's case, so that does leave the question of Billy Backhurst's Ernie. Whether...

    Deena and Pearl

    Thanks for sharing, Drtooth. Seems like Deena makes Ernie look like somebody who's easy to room with. Lol. So is her voice how Elmo used to sound when Brian performed him? Just curious about that. Oh, sorry. I looked it up. Brian was Pearl and Karen was Deena. Disregard my last question.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Yeah. I was a bit concerned there myself, because it seems a bit like that Kismit the Toad deal with Artie Esposito back in 2009. But the biggest difference there is that we have had a discussion about Ernie being recast before this happened, so this is sort of what fans wanted. But with...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I'm guessing you meant to say Kevin there and I disagree. I think Ryan is pretty spot on with Elmo, but oh well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Well, said Tooth. So we give a big kudos to Billy Backhurst for keeping Ernie alive while Steve is busy with other things. Still, it would...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Actually, after seeing Rachel's video, I think that may have been the problem with MT altogether. :):o:concern: I think that may have been the problem with MT. It's nice that this new show will have sort of an ongoing plot. After all, how often did Kermit and Piggy even interact on Muppets...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Well, you never know. It could have been a little bit of both reasons. I guess that's one of those things that could go either way.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Well, the nice thing is this may give some human characters a chance for more airtime. We know that Maria's gone, but we may see more of Susan and Bob. Just a thought. Thanks for letting us know, Oscar. I think with that said we can probably still discuss the eps on the forum when they...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Thanks for that info, Oscar. That's what I thought when I reread the first post, but it's good to reiterate that. I have to agree with mr3's comment as well the last few years they never really had more than a half hour worth of new material, so decreasing the length of time of the show...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I just saw the news on NBC and I've stayed up to date on all the changes such as Sonia's retirement and the change of the set, but I didn't know that it would switch networks. So does this mean it will just be reran on PBS for five years? That is a big chance especially since SS has been on...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Dwayne, I think you just described "Summerland." Not sure a lot of people here would remember that show. But that was definitely a similar plot.

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    I still have that Muppets Family Reunion comic book where Skeeter had a major role. That would have been a great idea for the next chapter.

    Kermit and Miss Piggy Officially Split!

    Yeah. I know what you mean because I checked imdb.com the other day and Kermit the Frog himself had a profile, talking about the actual Kermit the Frog rather than Steve Whitmire. I liked the ALF comparison too. I actually never knew that Paul played him until years later.
