How did we not know this?!?

Spinney also played Oscar the Grouch for decades.

The pictures of Spinney’s final performance as Big Bird after 50 years in the beloved role will definitely make you cry, so make sure you have tissues handy.

Many Sesame Street viewers have long suspected — including a few wise kiddos — that puppet odd couple Bert and Ernie are more than just friends. The prolific children’s series has never really addressed Bert and Ernie’s sexual orientation, but a former writer for Sesame Street confirms what most of us felt in our hearts all along…even if the show itself continues to issue denials.

At some point, we’re not sure when, Sesame Street stopped being a low-key educational children’s program and started being an educational children’s program that finds time to create internet-friendly parodies of whatever pop culture event is huge in a given week. So yeah, of course the show has made an Avengers-themed sketch and of course it’s called The Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon and of course it recasts Cookie Monster as the Hulk.

Brad Paisley visited more than 30 cities on his 2011 world tour and he’s gearing up to hit the road next year for a string of dates with Scotty McCreery, but he couldn’t say no when he was recently asked to do an extra bit of traveling – to Sesame Street. He and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams Paisley, appeared as part of an upcoming prime time special dedicated to helping fight childhood hung

I think its funny on what people who are on Social Networks waste their time with. This is my view point about what has been a hot topic about the Bert and Ernie Petitions. "They are not gay, they are not straight, they are puppets…Jim Henson once said "puppets do not exist below the waist." Let's get focused and work on other things that are more inportant things than harassing Mup
