    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    I miss Jerry. I believe I was the very last person to work with him. I directed the photo shoot for his PR picture with Count Von Count and Herry Monster. It was SO wonderful to work with him that day. And after we did the photos he had to do some sound bites of Count Von Count... he was ver y...

    DINOSAURS and Kevin Clash

    Thanks for liking the thread! I really love Kevin and celebrate him anyway I can. He humbly sent a beautiful picture of himself accepting this year's Emmy for Best Performer in a Children's Series- just gorgeous! He already has so many and it really touches me to see him still get SO choked up...

    DINOSAURS and Kevin Clash

    Bob, the Pizza Boy- I probably saw you at that book signing! I illustrated the book and designed and art directed the book cover. So I was there for the signing and the next day Kevin asked me to join him to sign the books with him at Books Of Wonder. Do you have a copy with a little sketch of...

    DINOSAURS and Kevin Clash

    I'm even looking for Kermit and Piggy and Fozzie and Gonzo... I am looking for ALL of them- I like Leon and even Clifford. The Classic Muppets aren't being given a fair shot in my opinion. I am hoping Disney really pushes them- but since they just acquired Marvel for 4 and a half billion dollars...

    DINOSAURS and Kevin Clash

    Leon As far as I know, unless a special deal was made for him, Leon belongs to Disney now- just like Clifford. Kevin just left my office so if he comes back today I will ask for sure what happened.

    Pre-Order Fraggle Season 4 DVD Boxset

    I won't be negative about this- I am in the business and I understand the need to do certain things to keep products afloat. I have purchased the individuals and felt a little bad that they stopped at season 3 of the boxed sets. I am just TOO much of a Fraggle Rock fan to have trusted that HIT...

    Hopes for The Muppet Show Season 4

    Hi! I know I am late in adding my 2 cents to this thread but I do hope for Gonzo on the cover of season 4- but what I am really hoping for is the release of "Of Muppets And Men"- the video documentary version of the book. It is a must for every Muppet fan. I have a DVD copy as a special gift but...

    Fraggle Rock Complete Series Question

    Half Price Amazon has it for half price now. I got it and I am very happy! I have SO many things- many things that are not even on the market because I work for Sesame Street and I am blessed with many perks. I really like the complete series of Fraggle Rock... I was not going to get it because...

    Whose autograph do you have?

    I have a copy of "Jim Henson, The Works" and everytime I go either to the set or when anyone comes here to my job at Sesame Workshop I ask them to sign it by their pictures. I think I have everyone now, except, of course, Jim Henson and Richard Hunt. Kevin Clash is a very good friend and I get...
