So this is disappointing: Until Dish and HBO come to an agreement, I no longer get the HBO channels. So now I'm gonna have to go up to my mom's room to watch the new primetime Sesame special.

JD Hansel: The biggest thing that happened since our last show is actually something that we mentioned on a recent podcast, but we mentioned it too soon, which is Caroll Spinney's retirement. I mentioned in a previous show, that Caroll was retiring from Sesame Street, because I heard it on...

Looking at Rick Lyon's personal Facebook page, he was there at the retirement party, which is very interesting.

Kevin Clash: I was thrown Elmo, I was given Elmo. Joey Mazzarino: Don't give it away, it's in the movie! Kevin: Yeah, it's in the movie, I'm sorry. Matt Vogel: Spoiler alert! Joey: No, go ahead and tell them. Save them 5 bucks. Matt: 5 dollars? Joey: 15 dollars worth is 1983. (they laugh) The...

Those retirement party videos are great. Big Bird's reaction to Caroll talking to him in his Big Bird voice was the best: "Hi, Big Bird! That feels weird."

Seeing Alan as Caroll makes me smile. I'm really excited to see those bits from the retirement party.

I think Johnny K. does a good job of capturing the W.C. Fields vocal mannerisms that the early Mumford had.

Adorkable Rachel made this:

The visuals are wonderfully trippy!

Steve explained the situation himself: https://web.archive.org/web/20170909041101/https://stevewhitmire-muppetpundit.com/2017/09/08/housekeeping/

As I was going through Facebook, I learned that Desiree Casado was at that party too!

Sesame's Instagram has videos of Caroll's retirement party, including a performance of Sing with Loretta Long and Alison Bartlett! But what's really surreal is Fran Brill is there alongside her characters played by her current performers!

Caroll has more than earned his retirement. Meeting him at DragonCon was one of the highlights of my life. Thank you for all the work you've done, Caroll, and best of luck to Matt and Eric for continuing your legacy.

I honestly like the fact that these 2 aren't Muppet experts, because they do their research. For instance, they made sure to identify all the Muppets in the Muppet Movie screening room, and when they got to the part in Great Muppet Caper, with the truck full of Muppets in Hey a Movie, they made...

Listen and decide for yourself. I don't find it dull when the co-host thinks of Muppets that should have been in that list, and realizing the reason they're not there is cause, they weren't created yet. Plus, they laugh at the absurd names some of the Muppets have. Listen starting at the 18:00...

So the newest episode of the Movin' Right Along podcast covers the finale of the Muppet Movie with the huge crowd of Muppets, and I'm disappointed that, unlike the other Muppet Movie minute-by-minute podcast, they didn't read Muppet Wiki's list of all the Muppets in that crowd.

Well, thankfully my mom's fine with me watching it on her TV.
