Sesame Street wasn't the product of Jim Henson, though. It was created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, and the showrunner during the classic years was Jon Stone. Jim Henson made many valuable contributions, and the show wouldn't have worked without the Muppets, but it was always a creative collaboration

I've commented on this here before, and I feel very strongly about it. I agree with you, and the way that sounds like repeating the word "at" will never sound right to me, even if George Lucas comes to my house to talk about it and says it that way.

I can't be the only one who thought for years that Abu Dhabi was a fictional country invented by Jim Davis.

Well, that made me laugh. Unfortunately, the scene of me laughing will be cut from the film adaptation.

How I wanted that snowman to be real.

Yeah, especially T-Ray, who may or may not actually be the real Wade Wilson, unless that's definitively been disproven. And Blind Al should be listed as a friend.

Normally, the Muppets with glove-like hands are performed with each puppeteer taking one hand, but for the Chef, both hands were Frank Oz's. It probably would have looked even weirder with mismatched hands.

He didn't have it in the Jim Henson years, or at least not on a regular basis. I think maybe it became a regular thing starting with the Bohemian Rhapsody video. Sometime around there.

Can… worms!

Yeah, I'm going to need a citation on that.

I applaud the correct use of "Joey" rather than the common misnaming "Uncle Joey." Jesse was their uncle, but Joey was just a family friend, and they just called him Joey.

Isn't it weird that the creators of Full House called their family the Tanners when there was already a major network sitcom about a family called the Tanners? Has that ever happened before or since?

Stephanie crashed Joey's new sports car into the kitchen. He was mad, but then the music played and they had a heartfelt talk and it was all okay.

Apparently ironic now means whatever you want it to mean.

That was three years ago, and they've since recast Elmo. He's still pretty prominent on the show, but not quite as much as he used to be.

"Who is this character? He wasn't on the show when I was four years old! THEREFORE HE IS TERRIBLE!"

Sure, it's unlikely. But I can always dream of a Forgetful Jones comeback.

That's another good one. Don't these websites have proofreaders? (Or evidencereaders?)

I suspect he was created to do game show segments when Jim Henson wasn't around to play Guy Smiley. And yeah, he wasn't quite as entertaining.

Internet headline writers these days have difficulty with the difference between how and why. See also: Cracked. On second thought, don't.
