    People complaining about Matt Vogel replacing Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog

    Part of my own personal feelings with the whole Matt “controversy” is people having valid thoughts while others seem to just contribute to an echo chamber because social media told them to. But even his voice aside I just want this series to be successful if it’s returning back to the old...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    I’m just gonna be frankly honest. 2025 was an absolutely HORRIBLE year for me (much worse than 2023 at that which really took the cake), and with that in mind, I’m frankly just coming in feeling completely apathetic with low expectations. I really don’t like this feeling but life just...

    Sesame Street classic episodes on YouTube

    It’s only a single day they passed on uploading. We only just started a new year at that. Give it a couple more months before we can come to that conclusion if new episodes being legally posted is now suddenly halted.

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    This song has been on my mind recently, and it’s easily been one of my favorite stop-motion animated segments since childhood. “Good grief, it’s princes number 9!”

    People complaining about Matt Vogel replacing Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog

    I honestly have to wonder if Matt’s recasting as Kermit was a hurried decision. Like there really wasn’t much thought process to it and it was more just “Yeah, this is close enough, let’s do it.” I mean I’d say part of the problem probably is the fact that these puppets very often just sit...

    People complaining about Matt Vogel replacing Steve Whitmire as Kermit the Frog

    I agree it has gotten old but at the end of the day, welcome to the public internet, where people are going to express their opinions whether you like it or not. And given how long Steve was performing Kermit, I can see why there are attachments. I’ll say at most Matt is just about in the...

    Video: Merry Christmas from Miss Piggy and Rizzo

    Steve could have been a difficult person to work with behind the scenes. None of us have worked with him so we can’t say what he was like in the business part of this industry. That said, regardless of what relationship Disney, Sesame Workshop, the Hensons etc have with Steve now, it’s clear...

    Video: Merry Christmas from Miss Piggy and Rizzo

    While I find Matt’s Kermit tolerable, as I’ve said in other posts, it really feels like he tries way too hard to focus on his voice. I really think Peter Linz should have taken over as Kermit honestly.

    Video: Merry Christmas from Miss Piggy and Rizzo

    I’m just glad to see Rizzo has a new performer, and that impression is honestly pretty close to Steve. I really was worried Rizzo would just fade out of existence into a pure background character.

    The Count's All-Bat Band Character Description Help

    Your best bet at this point is probably to just watch the clip again and rewrite everything from scratch.

    Video: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter Teaser Trailer

    I stand by my word with what I say when I believe “Muppets Tonight” honestly had more potential to grow, it just got a raw deal with ratings. Same thing with the 2015 series.

    Video: The Muppet Show Starring Sabrina Carpenter Teaser Trailer

    I can definitely see this pilot being released and then never acknowledged again regardless if ratings are good or not. Who knows. We could be surprised, and I definitely want more to come out of this, but all it takes is one screw-up from Disney and bam. Back to square one.

    Sesame Street classic episodes on YouTube

    I mean Sony has the rights to “Feliz Navidad” so ultimately that really was a luck of the dice they could legally release it there. I save this one during my Christmas marathon watch and I’m seeing my parents in NC so I’m REALLY hoping that fan-upload from the DVD (or VHS? I forget) rip is...

    Wouldn’t be surprised at all if the workshop didn’t even try licensing the song from Sony (I believe they own the rights to it).

    Sesame Street classic episodes on YouTube

    And I think chances are they’re probably just going to end it there after all the “popular” or “historic” episodes and anything else that was available on the HBO Max library are uploaded. I really don’t want to be pessimistic about this but I really can’t see the workshop willingly going out...

    Unpopular Opinions

    I’m just gonna say this. As I get older, I genuinely have no problem saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” to someone. Yes, it’s an annoying fake “apology” no one likes to hear and says a lot about someone’s character. That being said, I also find context matters as well. Like it’s one thing...

    Sesame Street classic episodes on YouTube

    Even with the risk of edits, I do genuinely hope more episodes that haven’t been (legally) publicly released yet will be posted and it’s not just gonna be a simple case of “We’re just dumping whatever we previously had on our HBO library and ending it there.”

    Official: The Muppet Show to return in 2026 with a new special starring Sabrina Carpenter

    Gonna be real with you. I’m very close to putting you on ignore right now if you just want to be a passive-aggressive smart *** because you can’t handle people giving valid criticism towards the way Disney handles the Muppets. Your choice if you want to continue this trivial nonsense.

    Well I saw a good handful of SS clips posted on his channel this year before his termination I’m pretty certain, so…..
