For what it's worth, we at ToughPigs (as well as the Muppet Wiki) are working hard to get some of this old and rare stuff out into the world, but we still need to work legitimately with Sesame, Disney, and Henson, or else we risk things being locked up in the vaults even tighter. There are...

Just because there aren't plans at the moment to show the episode doesn't mean that they won't ever do it. I understand the idea that people want to revisit it or share it with others, but it's still pretty ****** to pirate video after being asked politely by Craig before the show.

I get that. But still, it's not cool. You wouldn't film in a movie theater or Broadway show, would you? And it's not fair to Craig or Stephanie or the good folks at the Jim Henson Legacy and MOMI. In the end, it's potentially damaging for any future rare screenings they may want to do because...

Not cool, man. Craig Shemin made a point to ask that there be no recording or reporting on the event due to legal reasons. Not that anyone should be recording during an event anyway.

Hi everyone, thanks for reading our interview with Jerry Nelson! Regarding a few of the issues you all brought up in this thread: I only had a few hours to sit down and talk with Jerry, so I couldn't get into the more obscure characters like Featherstone and the like (and I thought it was more...

Heya MCers! I wanted to make sure you all saw the latest ToughPigs Book Club offering, Just Like Ernie: http://toughpigs.com/2009/04/just-like-book-club.html I'm collecting funny and poignant comments on the book to be posted on our site in a couple weeks, so please send them along if you've...

Hey everyone, I'm glad you liked the Fraggle script review! Feel free to e-mail me or post on the ToughPigs forum if you've got any specific questions (you can ask here, but I don't check MC too often).

Thanks for posting about the interview, dwmckim! And thanks to everybody for reading! I'm glad you all liked it.

Ryan put a great writeup of the whole event on ToughPigs. Part one: http://toughpigs.com/2009/02/sesame-street-comes-to-new-jersey-part.html Part two: http://toughpigs.com/2009/02/sesame-street-comes-to-new-jersey-part_04.html

That was me who shot those videos, by the way. The one with Oscar and Elmo is cut short because an usher told me that if I didn't put the camera away, they would ask me to leave. Hopefully someone out there got away with filming some more of the show! Oh the risks we take to preserve history!

Hi all, I just posted the Sesame Street book "Grover's Bad, Awful Day" on ToughPigs. I'm encouraging everyone to read it and sent their funny comments to me to be posted on our site in a week or two. Feel free to visit our forum with your comments or e-mail them directly to me. And if you're...

Yep, keep an eye out for fan favorites The Ugly Toy Pageant and Halloween Parade on ToughPigs within the next few weeks!

Heya MCers! For those of you who haven't seen it, we are having an election over at ToughPigs that's almost as important as the real one. Fraggle Rock's Gobo and Red are running against Sesame Street's Ernie and Bert! After reading the debate, head over to our forum to vote for the candidates...

ToughPigs is back online! Thanks for everyone's patience and kind words about the site. Regarding the "rivalry", I think it's mostly a joke we all share at this point, as I haven't seen any signs of a TP/MC rivalry in quite some time. With the Wiki, MuppetCast, and Newsflash around, I think...

I'm with you guys, I'd love to see more Playing With Dolls. Unfortunately, those were all written by Danny, and he hasn't been able to contribute to ToughPigs much in the last year and a half or so. And though Ryan and I have taken over TP duty, I wouldn't feel comfortable taking Playing With...

Pretty sure. For one thing, McCain never made me the poster child for his campaign. And thank Frog for that!

Hey everyone, thanks for the concern! We had some behind-the-scenes problems last night and we're working on getting the site back up as soon as possible. Rest assured, ToughPigs isn't gone, and everything will be back to normal before you know it.

Thanks, Dwayne! If I get a chance to talk to Steve again, I'll gladly ask him if he'd like to do a regular catch-up with some user-submitted questions. Likewise, we're hoping to get some more interviews in the near future where we'll open it up to questions from our readers. And by the by, I...

Heya Muppet Centralites! I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but I wanted to stop by and share the interview we recently had with Steve Whitmire. As I said back when I talked about our write-ups of the Letters to Santa set visit, the best part about all of this is that we have the...

Hi guys, thanks for checking out the article over on ToughPigs.com! I can confirm that Scooter plays a role larger than the last few movies. Likewise, all of the Electric Mayhem characters have at least a few lines of dialogue each. I didn't find out anything about Rowlf, but Kirk Thatcher...
