    Do you think that Sesame Workshop could show some golden oldies?

    It's not like none of us wanted that... it's just a complete and utter impossibility (unless they made SS a half hour show as well and just made it appoint to air them in the same hour block), as PBS barely even wants SS on the channel as it is. The problem in lies with the fact they not only...

    Bad, terrible and downright lousy Christmas Specials...

    believe me... I TRIED to go in with that attitude, but... shudder... it made me scream in a bad way, and bang my head on the table Don Music style. I did get a chuckle when they were "Shopping" though... but the songs are too bad to be so bad they're good. I've always said this... Will...

    The new Muppet movie: Next Year's Yogi?

    Bands are something different, I think. I'm talking cartoon characters and stuff like that. With any musician there's always some demo or unfinished piece of music floating around somewhere and someone at the recording company or label will want to release it. Michael Jackson's family is...

    The new Muppet movie: Next Year's Yogi?

    There are some, just can't think of them now... Then there's a bunch of purists who poopoo any new projects, like that new Start Trek movie. I'm not even that big a Trek fan and I loved it. Let's not go into 2k3 TMNT, because I found that a fitting regeneration of an old series... just...

    Do you think that Sesame Workshop could show some golden oldies?

    They'd have to have time to show stuff they're supposed to show first. They cram so much into a <50 minute period that it's too much. So much that we can't even have regular character sketches anymore. If they were to do any of those, they'd probably even have to reanimate them for HD...

    The new Muppet movie: Next Year's Yogi?

    I'll take that over Underdog or Dragonball which throws out the concept and replaces it with something generic that NO ONE will enjoy. Yogi doesn't look like all that good a movie, but trust me... they at LEAST made him an anthro, made the characters sound pretty similar, AND remembered the...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    That's the same for me, if there's three problems I had with it it's the fact it should have been longer, the fact it should have had either a different ending, or a sequence in which the other characters realize their selfishness, and the fact that it really needed a little more pre-production...

    Your dream 2011 Muppet Promotions

    Those Toy Story ones virtually flew off the shelves within a week... yet, I always see acres of obscure Dr. Seuss characters and generic looking animal plush sit on shelves. It would be great to see something like that. They have been VERY strategic about merchandise... almost too careful...

    Is a Pepe Plush a dream or reality?

    Years ago, someone somewhere (either here or Palisades) said something to the extent of this... a plush is basically a stuffed pillow that somehow resembles a character (as opposed to a sculpted effigy). So I can't say that Pepe looks bad... though a mouth closed interpretation with rounder...

    Piggy Makes Telegraph's Five Worst Christmas Songs List!

    And Elton John's Christmas song doesn't get on the list, WHY? That was one of the worst one's I ever heard, and clearly thrown together for a paycheck. Christmas Shoes should be there too. Matter of fact, I never even heard of half of these, and most of the stuff I hear shopping or on the...

    Bad, terrible and downright lousy Christmas Specials...

    It's nice to know that not every Muppet Christmas special is pure gold. That was a product of the 1970's. The random guests that just so happen to be there with no real explaination, the songs that have NOTHING to do with Christmas... and honestly, the one person in the special that SHOULD...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    The plot was fun, and it is always a treat to see a big bad wolf in ANYTHING, actually... you can never go wrong with Big Bad Wolf. And there's nothing better than a gentle groan inducing pun like "Baby Bear, your CUB reporter." I actually look forward to the Telly/Baby Bear episodes the most...

    Bad, terrible and downright lousy Christmas Specials...

    Arthur is a show that deals with that stuff anyway... I mean, they dealt with heavy subjects like Cancer and Aspergar's syndrome in a single season. They're all about teaching different topics, so why would a Christmas special be any different. To me it wasn't so much about Francine being...

    James Bobin to direct Muppets new theatrical movie

    It's not so much the songs were bad, and it's great to hear ORIGINAL songs in a Muppet project... but somehow, it seemed like he got the call 5 minutes before everything was due. I'm sure the songs would have been a bit more punched up (much like the script could have been) if it had a little...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's 2010 Thanksgiving Day Parade

    They probably didn't have enough money to sponsor a balloon and a float... or something happened to the Abby... I hope they come back with a new balloon next year.

    Bad, terrible and downright lousy Christmas Specials...

    Actually I'd say that song was the only thing halfway decent with that whole abortion. I tell you when that news reporter in one scene said "This kid is doing something besides contributing to the obesity epidemic" I wanted to throw the television out the window and then beat the ever...

    We Have a Picture of Walter AND MORE NEWS!

    Really, that sounds more and more like a classic Muppet Movie... though, Muppet Movie had only about 7 or 8.. so I'm wondering if that many songs will be in the film, or if any will be cut either from the production or the editing stages. I think LTS was a great production (especially...

    James Bobin to direct Muppets new theatrical movie

    Well, no disrespect to Paul Williams, but I will say this... the Letters to Santa songs he wrote weren't quite up to the quality of the others he's done over the years. I guess if they gave the special more time we would've had something better, though.

    Is a Pepe Plush a dream or reality?

    I'm TERRIBLE at sewing and putting stuff like that together... and I DON'T trust fabric glue. NEVER do... always falls right apart, it does. But with used plush, I mean years and years old (vintage), where has it been, sitting in a pile of lord knows what, getting dusty that sinks right in...

    Bad, terrible and downright lousy Christmas Specials...

    I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to go on a rant now... Arthur's perfect Christmas was great BECAUSE it featured other holidays... I rather liked the subplot with Francine and Muffy having a fight because Muffy is such a WASPy figure she remains completely ignorant of Francine's...
