What I'm seeing a lot here is exactly what I've found my reaction to be, and my wife's...I didn't really like Elmo, I got that preschoolers like him and that's what important, but let's just say I tend to spend the last seventeen minutes of Sesame Street putting dishes in the dishwasher. But I...

I've read/seen a lot of interviews with Frank, and it generally sounds like he's done being a puppeteer. The fact that Sesame Street is the only franchise he occasionally moonlights on is telling, especially given that he himself is a father and, I believe, grandfather, and probably has a more...

I too miss Big Bird being the main protagonist, and Snuffy being his most frequent sidekick. The fact that Snuffy is almost never seen anymore is particularly unfortunate. I do like Zoe and Rosita a lot, and I like Abby's look and her voice, but not all of the fairy stuff that she brought to...

I've tried to look up this one on MuppetWiki, but no luck thusfar. It was a gameshow set on a farm and hosted by Kermit, and one of the contestants was Harry the Haystack, and he made me terrified of farms for the literally the next twenty years or so. Whenever someone talked about a product...

Check Netflix today! They added a dozen or so old (70's and 80's) episodes under "Sesame Street Classics". Granted, they misleadingly labeled everyting as "Season 1 Episodes 1-12", but I'm happy that the full episodes are there at all. I was especially blown away to see multiple Roosevelt...

I don't really care for this, though obviously the Muppets have been able to work some incredibly funny material into a product endorsement before. Strange things happen to people who don't drink Wilkins Coffee, after all. Now if the Swedish Chef did a promotion for Ikea's café, that is...

Muppet Babies featured reimagined (and obviously much younger) versions of the characters. Whether it was because of the limits of 80's cell animation or a deliberate aesthetic choice or both, they weren't drawn in a way to make them reminiscent of puppets. They were just run of the mill...

Initially I really liked Abby, the fact that she was very emphatically a fairy and not just a humanoid little girl or monster was a bit odd, but Rosita started out as a bat and Telly was a homeless television addict, so I assumed it was just "early character development weirdness" and that once...

I realize this is sacrilege to many, but....I never really liked the Count. Don't get me wrong I loved Jerry's other characters, Emmet Otter in particular though he had dozens of one-shot characters who were just as memorable despite only appearing in one or two three minute sketches. The...

I'd be excited about Elmo's World getting the boot if there was a snowball's chance in heck that it would be replaced by something even slightly better. I haven't seen Elmo the Musical yet (no TV in our house so our daughter watches SS on Netflix or elsewhere online), but I will be absolutely...
