As long as Bruce Stringbean isn't thrown under the bus.

p.s.
Elmo ain't shit.

Oh my. I want a print of that.

Can we please discuss the injustice of Elmo being a more popular, pseudo-replacement for the glory that was Grover?

Sure, it's a show for little kids and little kids like Elmo better. It's probably the high voice, or the fact that he tells them he loves them on a regular basis.  Just a guess, but that could be more entertaining/popular with kids than Grover learning how to make baskets in Costa Rica.  It is, not to be too repetitive, a show for children.

Even if Elmo is the flagship star of Sesame Street now, as long as the Muppets live on in the hearts of kids, I'm glad.

Don't know if this has been posted in the YouTube thread, but here's Feist's appearance on an upcoming Sesame Street.

I think I've said this before, but a newish muppet movie that I adore is The Muppet Christmas Carol. It was made soon after Henson's death, and it's just wonderful...everything from the music to Micheal Caine as Scrooge.

I love it too. I know it's post-Henson and most people bash all the Muppet stuff after his death but it's a classic Christmas movie that doesn't get the praise it deserves.

OMG really?? NO shit!

I'll take Celia Cruz over Leslie Feist any day.

There's some Elmo bashing going on, but ZOE is by far my least favorite new muppet. At least Elmo's been around since I was really small. Zoe carries no familiarity and a laugh that makes my teeth itch.

I get it.  You are a child.  Sorry for dissing the Muppets, little one.

I cannot say this is entirely untrue.

I also genuinely hate Elmo. He speaks in the third person.

This is silly:

The vet hospital sketches were always awesome.

Jokes like that make me roll my eyes. Take something innocent and make it sketchy....ooooh! Look! Kermit smokes weed! Calvin pees on Osama Bin Laden! Hahahahaha!!!!

 I mean, if people want to see puppets acting like that, they should watch Meet the Feebles or something.

I remember loving Slimey the Worm's trip to the moon. Wikipedia tells me that I was 7 or 8 at the time, which seems a tad old for that, but I suppose you're never too old for Muppets.

Nobody should watch Meet The Feebles. I watched Dead Alive in it entirety; I could not make it through 25 minutes of ...The Feebles.
