A positively preposterous piece on pipers and pickled peppers.

I wonder how many takes it took to get through all of that silliness.

[up] Basically, a huge Marionette setup from a crane. They were originally actually going to use a radio controlled bike, but it fell over and broke on the first take.

They were also never completely happy with it, which is why there’s an even bigger bicycle scene in Great Muppet Caper

[up] Yeah, as I mentioned in the Disney Thread earlier, it's kind of my all consuming special interest currently, so I could infodump about it nearly all day if you let me.

It must be really easy to get birthday gifts for the Count. It doesn't matter what you get, as long as you get a lot of it. evil grin

A lovely little animation of an old favorite, that even features a familiar face.

(the combination of Jim’s vocals and his little cameo (0:28), is enough to make you tear up a bit.)

Also: Cookie Shark!

Random segue, but looking it up the number of jazz covers I'm finding of that song right now is really impressive.

[up] Yeah, it’s a lovely little song, and I guess it’d not too surprising that it’s become a favorite jazz cover,

megaeliz I am sorry to do this but I must say that Sesame Street could be IN DANGER of cancellation. Since the madman that runs HBO Max is cancelling every kids show... I really dont want to say it but it could happen.

On HBO. Discovery/Warner Brothers doesn't own the Sesame Street Workshop as far as I know. They just debut on HBO for additional funding.

I know. And I love that PBS Kids is the last bastion of free tv for kids. But they wouldnt have gotten into that deal unless they REALLY needed the extra funding.

Things are different now then when they first took the deal though. Sesame Street is in a much better place financially than they were when they first made the switch, and can more or less hold its own.

they’re even doing a limited run Sesame Street musical with real puppet characters.

Bert’s fish tank:

I’m pretty sure this skit was almost entirely improvised by Frank and Jim, just ad-libbing off each other.

at first, with that title, I thought it was going to be a parody of shark tank.

[up][up] Another one that makes me sad because of Jim's memorial.

I wish they would release an album or something of just the Rowlf segments. I've always loved this one.

And on the list of my "songs of which my favorite version is the Muppet version," this one:

megaeliz Since: Mar, 2017
#348: Aug 23rd 2022 at 7:43:07 PM

[up]It’s not exactly that, but Rowlf actually does have his own album!

It’s Jim singing with a ton of his favorites from the muppet show, but it wasn’t released until the mid 90s.
