An editor at Slate Magazine recently published an article claiming that human beings can be divided up into two categories: Chaos Muppets (like Cookie, Animal, or Ernie) and Order Muppets (like Sam, Kermit, or Bert). All of us, she says, are basically one or the other. She gives examples using...

A Fraggle Rock comic will be available--for free!--at Free Comic Book Day* on May 1, 2010, at comic shops across the U.S. Actually it will be HALF a comic--the Fraggles will be one half of a flip book with Mouse Guard. You can find out more here: http://www.freecomicbookday.com/comics.asp...

Apparently the show airs at different times in different areas; where I live it's on Saturday mornings on the local Fox affiliate.

Cookie Monster answers the "Proust Questionnaire" in a video clip on the NPR website, which also has some thoughts on Cookie Monster as the unrestrained id (that's Freudian talk) of Frank Oz. You can find this and a few other Cookie tidbits at...

Most of you probably already know everything that's in this article, but it's interesting anyway: figures.com has posted a brief overview of the Muppet figures by Palisades--looking back, as many of us do, with fondness...

I thought others might like to know that manga publisher Tokyopop has a line of books called Cinemanga Jr. featuring Sesame Street. "Cinemanga," if you're not familiar with the term, is essentially a comic book made by taking stills of a video program and sticking them on a printed page with...

I don't see another thread mentioning this, but the Mirrormask DVD, according to Amazon.com (and I double-checked at BestBuy.com), is scheduled for a February 14 release date. As close as that is, it seemed worth a thread here. Amazon says extras include an interview with Neil Gaiman and...
