    Will there be a CD collection for Sesame's 40th anniversary?

    Currently nothing has been announced, but that would be a good idea. Maybe make it a two-disc set. Call disc 1 "The Essential Sesame Street", featuring all the best songs that have been released in audio format, and then disc 2 "Unreleased Songs", featuring songs from the show that haven't been...

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    I wonder if Prairie Dawn was named before The Muppet Music Album. It would be kind of funny if for that album, the name was needed for the contestant in What's My Letter? and then when it was made into a video sketch that puppet was used, due to a similar voice, and the name stuck (then again...

    outside the family...

    I don't know whether he'd be considered "outside" the muppet family. It was rare for him to be seen outside of a news reporting context. Outside of the opening and post-TMS productions he wasn't even just in the background very much. But then there are quite a few characters who were rarely...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I had mentioned this possibility earlier. However, I have a feeling that all of the guest stars pictured will be on there. It'd be stupid to include guests on the cover who won't be on the set (just as stupid as putting Elmo on the packaging for Follow That Bird despite his small screen time...

    outside the family...

    Many fans see the Muppets as being like a close family. The writer of Muppet Robin Hood mentioned this in his Tough Pigs interview, when discussing the difficulty of casting Muppets as villians. Jim Lewis also kind of commented on this in the Ask Jim Lewis thread, when asked about Fleet...

    Muppet Peter Pan

    Is Nana supposed to be played by Camilla, or just a random chicken? They all look the same. Also, a question for Grace or Amy: Do comic book writers and artists get residuals for their work?

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    I was thinking about this, too. I thought Prairie Dawn was made as a Sesame Street beanbag toy in 1998, but then I looked at the Muppet Wiki page for Sesame Street Beans, and there was no Prairie Dawn, and she was a main character by then. And during the 1970s there were many toys made of Lefty...

    Muppet Peter Pan

    Has anybody seen the alternate cover, which is posted at Muppet Wiki (referred to as the "C" cover... It doens't say where it's exclusive to)? In the background of that cover are toys resembling Muppet characters, including Bert and Ernie. I guess Disney missed that; Roger Langridge has said...

    The Muppet Mindset

    I like that article on The Jim Henson Hour, and I disagree about many of the shows original characters being too "one-note". Underdeveloped, maybe, but I don't see Digit, Leon, or Vicki as one-joke (though the Muppet Wiki articles on Vicki and Leon are a bit short). Waldo may be a bit one-note...

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    I'm not really sure whether this thread inspired it or if it's just a coincidence, but The Muppet Mindset has an article about Prairie Dawn: http://themuppetmindset.blogspot.com/2009/09/weekly-muppet-wednesdays-prairie-dawn.html

    Muppet Peter Pan

    Muppet Wiki claims that Sam the Eagle will play Mr. Darling. Does anybody know what this source was? The review only mentions that Sam takes over as the narrarator, it would make more sense for Gonzo to play Mr. Darling since most versions of Peter Pan have the father and Captain Hook played by...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    Youtube actually has a promo for the book. It can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhijK8Fo5fg It's interesting. It mentions that the bonus DVD includes a clip montage in addition to the first episode. I wonder if it's really a clip montage or if it's several full bonus clips...

    D23 Expo: Muppet news and happenings

    If Disney is really trying to make next year the "year of the Muppets" then it would be really great if more classic Muppet programs were shown on Disney's channels. Some fans have speculated that Disney hasn't been broadcasting The Muppet Show reruns becasue they might compete with DVD sales...

    Is there a new Christmas Toy DVD?

    It could have just changed distributors, since HIT! no longer controlls Henson's family library.

    Any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character?

    Does anybody have any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character? It seems like she was a lot more minor during the first 20-something seasons. Seems like she was just barely more major than Betty Lou was on the show. This could be due to the fact that Fran Brill seemed to work on the show...
