    Except Gordon does refer to him as Dad in this episode.

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Well, Muppet Wiki has more info on Awesome Alphabet Collection, which confirms it'll be a mix of classic and recent material, though most of the specific stuff mentioned is more recent (it does mention Maya Angelou doing a handclapping game about the letter H, that's from the '90s but I can't...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I couldn't really decide on which one.

    Little things we've noticed

    Recently, I've noticed that the images on the back covers of the 1994 releases of Hey Cinderella and The Frog Prince seem to replace backgrounds with a plain color. Took a long time for me to really notice, but I was looking at the images on the back of Hey Cinderella and noticed the humans in...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like a lot of recurring Muppet segments (though obviously not any of the short form series) have only one or two installments in their debut season and take a bit of time before they really get a big back catalog of individual segments. For example, the first season had two Answer...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Yeah, for an anniversary release, it'd be better to represent most of the seasons/eras almost equally (though my wishlist kinda reflected that, though more on the first decade than others). Heck, a few years ago, when the main cast was shortened to seven, I thought there should have been a...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I kept debating over whether to provide a sketch wishlist for my idea of an anniversary DVD spotlighting the main characters who were there in the first season, but why not? Big Bird Big Bird meets Sally The Sound of the Letter A ABC-DEF-GHI (season 4 version) Big Bird's Backwards/Forwards...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Last night I thought up a good concept for a 50th anniversary DVD (or online "collection"): One that's kind of like the "Best of Friends" DVD release, only it'd focus on the characters who have been on the show since the first season: Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, Oscar, Cookie Monster, and Grover...

    They need to make a mash-up of every song that has more than one version.

    Muppet Sing-Alongs thread

    I don't think there's been a thread for the Muppet Sing-Alongs video series, but I just recently saw the last of the ones I previously hadn't and thought I'd start a thread. Here are my thoughts on the videos: Billy Bunny's Animal Songs It's a weird choice for the first Muppet sing-along...

    Little things we've noticed

    I didn't notice that that was the joke when I was a kid (not until I saw the joke explained online), was confused by Statler and Waldorf's reaction on audio releases ("on the show that wasn't funny, but on a record it doesn't make sense"). I thought the humor came from the fact that it showed...

    What Makes Music versus Happiest Street in the World

    In the last year I decided to download the entire disco albums, at first just downloading some tracks, including Happiest Street, and for a while I'd frequently listen to that one over and over again. But lately, I find myself listening to What Makes Music over and over again. The disco...

    Frank Oz Talking ‘The Muppets,’ ‘Sesame Street’ and Dark Crystal Prequel

    Frank Oz said in his interview for The Muppet Mindset last year that he can't just go to Disney, tell them he's one of the original/long-running Muppet performers, and pitch an idea that he thinks is right (unless he can show evidence that it will make a big profit).

    Frank Oz Talking ‘The Muppets,’ ‘Sesame Street’ and Dark Crystal Prequel

    And he keeps saying that he never gets asked back. He says that Disney doesn't ask him to perform the Muppets even though he has said he was asked to be involved with the 2011 film, but I have a feeling that was more of an offer by Jason Segal/Nick Stoller/James Bobin than the Walt Disney...

    What Makes Music versus Happiest Street in the World

    The album Sesame Disco has two great songs - What Makes Music and The Happiest Street in the World (actually, all of the albums songs/tracks are great, but these are the two I am focusing on now). Which of the two is better? What Makes Music is the opening track, and it is a great opening...

    Frank Oz Talking ‘The Muppets,’ ‘Sesame Street’ and Dark Crystal Prequel

    I wish I could understand what he meant by "I don't think of puppets, I think of character". With this being the first real Dark Crystal production since its original release, I would think he'd be more okay with being involved, since it is harder to say that it's not true to the...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Something that would be neat for the YouTube collections that I think I've mentioned before would be ones honoring the works of the Muppet performers, especially long-time performers like Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, and Caroll Spinney (why do I have a feeling that a...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I started thinking that it would be cool if each episode could end with a new rendition of a classic song (maybe songs that recently had new versions, like "Rubber Duckie", could just be the recent remakes as opposed to doing new ones again this season). Of course they did redo quite a few...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I've never noticed that. I can't remember if I ever went outside to play right after a storm ended. Of course when it happened on Pee-wee's Playhouse, it ended because Jambi granted Pee-wee's wish, so his magic probably also made it dry enough to play outside (and I'm not really sure if it...
