    Sesame "Muppet Diplomacy" in the news

    And the oil! Don't forget the oil. I never said that the war was about oil... ego, father issues, politicking, the machinations of the so called Religious Right... but never oil. But that's besides the point. The one thing I feel bugs me about Sesame Street is that SW has the major...

    Rumor: Abby gets own segment

    That's it exactly... the Abby segment IS going to be added to the show for season 40. That was in the press kit, right? As I said, the press kit said NOTHING about those other segments. I do believe they could easily be added in about season 41, as easily as Ernie and Bert's great adventures...

    Sesame Street Adult-Sized Costumes

    I see what you mean... but these sort of things are ever so precious on a 2-5 year old (maybe even younger)... but they look slightly disturbing on a full grown man. Looks like he's eating his head...

    Rumor: Abby gets own segment

    This really sticks in my craw. None of these were mentioned as being part of season 40 so far... maybe parts of season 41, or shows for the international market? The show has lost its amazing randomness that made it exactly like television... the "commercials" for numbers and letters.. the...

    Sesame "Muppet Diplomacy" in the news

    Man... and did you see they're making one coping about how we got a recession from all the reckless spending and devaluation of American currency so said war profiteers get a big fat juicy tax cut for selling their weapons to both sides? They should make a Sesame Street special called "Coping...

    Oh Nooooo? Someone had to pay a thousand dollars in late fees for renting Gremilns 2. :D True story. I still say it's Boy who Cried Wolf. We keep hearing about the Apocalypse, and nothing happens... sooner or later something is going to happen, inevitably. By then, we'll have been trough...

    What would happen if Sesame Workshop retired Elmo?

    I'm gonna say this. I actually like Elmo... though, frankly 80's-early 90's monstery Elmo when he would talk loud, selfishly, and like an actual 3 year old. But I agree 100% here. Let's face it. Barney the Dinosaur literally ruined kid's television. He smashed on the scene with his...

    On the subject of remakes...

    There's a lot of talk here about remakes... a thread about horror movie remakes, and one about a possible Yellow Submarine remake... This got me to think about something. A while ago, somewhere else I read about a new movie version of "Neverending Story." To which I heard a lot of people...

    Zemekis/Disney To Remake "Yellow Submarine?"

    I'm just gonna come out and say it. I don't like motion capture all that much, outside of Henson's digital puppetry. I kinda dug the old 1930's rotoscoping technique (especially in Betty Boop cartoons with Cab Calloway)... but something about motion capture just... well... it doesn't feel all...

    Commercial rant time...

    Dear GOD.... that is the most backwards bullcrap I have ever heard. I bet he really abuses his wife (if he has one). Probably a product of those truck ads. :eek: Monsters like that can marry women and toss them into violent, fear based marriages. Yeah... that's fair. Personally, I think...

    Are there different edits/versions of Sid the Science Kid?

    I get the feeling the two are VERY closely related... he he he. Sort of a PR damage control. but, hey! That's what happens when people don't donate to PBS and government funding gets cut. The outrage shouldn't have been that they have McDonalds sponsorship... the outrage should have been...

    What are the lamest, Dullest, and Worst Non-Muppet segments?

    Am I the only one that thought Traction Jackson was alright? I mean, he actually had some sort of personality, and they addressed the fact he was in a wheel chair without the same kid gloves as they did with that actual human character years ago. Plus, I really liked that dog.

    Commercial rant time...

    Well, if we're gonna get on that then, I HATE those commercials that clearly rip-off The Office. The awkward pauses and extreme reality isn't the only thing to that show, you know. It's the drama and comedy intertwining and the wonderful cast of scarily realistic characters. And I also...

    1-2-3 Imagine! with Elmo & Friends

    Frankly, I'm surprised they left Roxie Marie in. She is a pretty obscure holdover from the 90's. I'm just shocked Grover doesn't have any lines.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I'm really hoping by that list, we're talking about listing current celebrities for some marketing reason. The next thing we need is another "Songs from the Street" fiasco where one of the disks mostly contained "Elmopalooza." I'm glad SS is using celebrities on this set... but I just hope we...

    You forgot one as well... this one has a cute story behind it... She was the voice of Belinda Kinnikuman (Mantaro/Kid Muscle's mother)... I asked her about this at a convention, and she basically mentioned it was only in like the 4th episode... and I was saying that Belinda (Bininba being...

    Sesame Street Adult-Sized Costumes

    I think the Muppet Show ones look much better... even though some of them were quite off. Honestly, though.... what's up with the Oscar? A Halloween Hood? That's for little kids so they can see where they're going when they trick or treat. it looks TERRIBLE on an adult. The Ernie and...
