Strange Search Terms

Jarrod Fairclough – Owning a Muppet site means having to check out the statistics occasionally; How many people are visiting?  From which countries?  And what are people typing in to bring them to The Muppet Mindset? That is my favorite stat to check, because sometimes people Google odd things.  But, we’re helpful here, so once again…

Be Like Grover

Jarrod Fairclough – The world is in chaos.  Threats between countries bounce back and forth.  Hatred and anger is the default setting for millions of people.  This weekend a putrid display of horrible behavior rocked not only the people of Virginia, but the world.  And it’s all had me thinking, what can I possibly do to…

The Real Grouchwives of Sesame Street

Jarrod Fairclough – Every now and then Sesame Street release something that makes us do a double take because of just how bizarre it actually is.  Whether it be Grover parodying the Old Spice commercial, or the hilarious Big Birdman sketch starring Caroll Spinney, they still have a few tricks up their arm sleeve, and yesterday…

The Letter Yook!

Jarrod Fairclough – The letter yook is by far my favorite number, so I was surprised to find out it’s also a letter of the alphabet!  Who’d have thunk it?

Ryan Dosier’s Ten Favorite Sesame Street Muppets

Ryan Dosier – In our efforts to continue to celebrate Sesame Street‘s monumental 45th Anniversary, I keep grasping at ways to write about the greatest television show ever. So I’ve decided to pen a simple article, but one I don’t think I’ve ever done before (although after five years who even knows). Anyway, here’s some thoughts on…

Top Songs of… Eric Jacobson

Kieran Moore – In my mind there are 3 generations of Muppeteers; “The Oldschoolers” which includes anyone who was around before The Muppet Show, “The Inbetweeners” who are performers like Steve Whitmire and Kevin Clash that straddled both the pre and post Jim Henson eras, and then “The New Kids” who are the current crop of Muppeteers.…

News Update: October 14, 2014

OCTOBER 14, 2014 Grover made a video with the adorable Kid President, as they both deliver a pep talk about helping homeless people in need. The video is at once adorable, brilliant, and hysterical. I absolutely love it. You really can’t miss this one. Cookie Monster and Elmo stopped by Entertainment Weekly last week to present the “Elmy” awards, celebrating…
