Works Cited Primary Sources Works Cited Primary Sources "40 Years and Counting." SesameWorkshop.org. Sesame Workshop. Web. 19 Feb 2013. <http://www.sesameworkshop.org/about­us/40­years.html>. This is Sesame Workshop's official timeline for Sesame Street. It provides information on the show's conception, its international co­productions, and Kevin Clash. I also quote Barack Obama from this timeline. "AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs." AFI.com. The American Film Institute, 22 Jun 2004. Web. 19 Feb 2013. <http://www.afi.com/100years/songs.aspx>. This is the list of AFI's top 100 songs from American movies. "The Rainbow Connection" is number 74 on the list. This exemplifies the timelessness of some of the great Muppet songs that have been written. Bailey, Joseph A. Memoirs of a Muppet Writer. New York: Walnut Press, 2012. Print. This book was written by one of the writers for Sesame Street. He has worked with many of the people behind its creation. He also wrote for The Muppet Show. He recalls what it was like to work on the show, and the show's success. I quote the book on Sesame's creation, and the Muppet Show's popularity. Baciocco, Grant, perf. "Basic Puppeteering ­ Using a Monitor." The Henson.com Podcast. The Jim Henson Company, 27 2010. Web. 2 Dec 2012. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hBfb1MtZ9s>. This is an episode of the Jim Henson Company's official podcast. In it, Henson Company employee Grant Baciocco shows how the puppeteers at the company use monitors to watch their performance. This is basic puppeteering training. It uses the techniques that Jim Henson created for the Muppets. It also tells viewers that most of the employees at the Jim Henson Company have professional puppeteering experience prior to joining the company. Clash, Kevin, perf. Sesame Street ­ Behind the Street (part 3). 2009. Web. 31 Mar 2013. <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY5YoTmDNXg>. This is a video of Kevin Clash explaining the history of Elmo. It starts with Elmo being built, and ends with Elmo being given to Kevin. I use and quote some of this information in the "1980s­1990s" page. Cokliss, Harley, dir. Of Muppets and Men: The Making of the Muppet Show. Dir. Peter Berry, and Prod. David Lazer. 1981. Film. 30 Nov 2012. This documentary shows behind the scenes footage from The Muppet Show. It explains parts of the process of making an episode, and informs viewers about the puppeteers. It also features interviews with Jim Henson and Frank Oz. It takes viewers into the puppet room, into the writers' room, and under the sets. There is no other documentary that shows the way that episodes of The Muppet Show are made to the degree that this documentary does. Falk, Karen. Imagination Illustrated: The Jim Henson Journal. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2012. Print. This book, written by the Jim Henson Company archivist, is an adaptation of Jim Henson's private journal. It goes through the history of the Muppets using Jim's own documentations. It is also filled with pictures of the things Jim worked on. Many of these pictures are Jim's drawings and illustrations. Information about Jim's family life is provided too. Frog, Kermit the. Before You Leap: A Frog's­Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons. 1st ed. Meredith Books, 2006. Print. This book tells the story of Kermit the Frog and the Muppets from Kermit's own point of view. (It is a secondary source because, while it is officially licensed by Muppets Studio, it was written by a ghost writer who has worked for the Muppets many times.) I quote Kermit on The Muppet Movie from this book. Finch, Christopher. Jim Henson: The Works. 1st ed. New York and Toronto: Random House, 1993. Print. Christopher Finch's first Muppet book was Of Muppets and Men, but this book focuses on Jim Henson's career as a puppeteer and filmmaker. Jim Henson had spoken to Finch about making this book in the 1980s, but it was finished in the 1990s, and thus includes more history. It includes a small section (with pictures) on his childhood. It shows the Muppets' success (with a section on all of the Muppet merchandise that people collect.) Unlike other Muppet/Henson biographies, this one goes beyond Jim's life­span and has a few pages devoted to The Muppet Christmas Carol, the first Muppet movie made after Jim's death. Finch, Christopher. Of Muppets and Men: The Making of the Muppet Show. 1st ed. New York and Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf, Incorporated, 1981. Print. Much like the documentary of the same name, this book goes behind the scenes of The Muppet Show. This book has several photos taken on the set by the author. It describes the way that the show's puppets were built, lists the guest stars, introduces readers to the Muppeteers, and explains the history of how the show came to be. There are many nice quotes about the individual puppeteers. It even describes the read­through, band call, pre­record, special effects, and waiting around. Henson, Jim, and Cheryl Henson. It's Not Easy Being Green and Other Things to Consider. New York, NY: Hyperion, 2005. Print. This book is filled with quotes from Jim Henson. It also includes quotes from his family, his fellow puppeteers, Muppet characters, Muppet songwriters, and a few others. These quotes are all related to the works of Jim Henson and the Muppets. They reveal a lot about the Muppets' purpose, and Jim's personality. There is a short biography of Jim Henson at the end. Henson, Jim, and Karen Falk. Jim Henson's Red Book. The Jim Henson Company, n. d. Web. Web. 30 Jan. 2013. <http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/>. This website is sort of both a blog and a database. Before there was Twitter, Jim Henson was noting in a small number of words what he was doing at the time. Because he included dates, readers of this website have access to the exact dates when Muppet productions were being made or Jim was working on a project. Many articles are curated by the Jim Henson Company Archivist. Using all of the information and documents available in the Henson Archives, Karen Falk expands on what Jim was doing. She provides many photographs, and rare documents, such as business letters. Henson, Jim. Interview by Judy Harris. Cinefantastique. Fred Clarke. 1983. Web. 2 Dec 2012. http://users.bestweb.net/~foosie/henson.htm. In this interview, Jim Henson talks about puppetry, his early work, the creation of the term "Muppet," and his entire career. He was interviewed by a fan, so the interviewer knows all about Jim's early work. This means that rather than describing what he did, he talks more about how he did it and how he feels about it. This interview took place after Jim Henson had recently been successful with The Muppet Show, but was also around the time when his film The Dark Crystal was unsuccessful. Our Mission. N.d. Video. SesameWorkshop.org. Web. 30 Jan 2013. <http://www.sesameworkshop.org/about­us/our­mission.html>. This video comes from Sesame Workshop, which owns Sesame Street. It features video footage of Sesame Street's pitch reel, and the first episode. More importantly, it gives Sesame's purpose, giving children the basics of education. It explains that research and evidence shows how children gain from it. This is important because it means that Sesame is still making a big difference and will continue to. According to the video, different versions of Sesame Street are on television in some 150 countries and are designed to meet the specific needs of children in their local areas. Sesame Place Park Map. 2011. Sesame Place. Web. 31 Oct 2012. <http://sesameplace.com/sesame2/userfiles/tinymce/files/2011_Park_Map.pdf>. This is a map of Sesame Place. Sesame Place is the first and only amusement park to have been based upon Muppet characters. It was the first amusement park designed to be educational for children, and the map shows the various attractions, some of which are educational, other are just for fun. It shows where families can watch shows, ride rides, dine, etc. "Sesame Street." Henson.com. The Jim Henson Company. Web. 19 Feb 2013. <http://henson.com/sesamestreet.php>. This is the Henson Company's official page on Sesame Street. It explains that the characters were sold to Sesame Workshop in 2001. This information is used on the "2000­Today" page.

This tells the story of Kevin Clash, who was the puppeteer of Elmo for most of Elmo's time on Sesame Street. It leads up to the success and incredible cultural impact that Elmo has had, including being made into the hottest toy on the market in its day ­ "Tickle Me Elmo." The creator of this documentary spent years working with Kevin Clash to get the story right, and to record many of the things he does. Kevin tells much of the story himself, but it also has many interviews with his co­workers and family. Spinney, Caroll.

  • Transmedia Muppets: the Possibilities of Performer Narratives
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Transmedia Muppets: The Possibilities of Performer Narratives AARON CALBREATH-FRASIEUR, University of Nottingham ABSTRACT This article examines how the Muppets franchise engages with transmedia narratives, their stories moving fluidly between television, film, comics, the internet and more. Rather than highlight the complexity Henry Jenkins (2006), Elizabeth Evans (2011) and others associate with transmedia, an examination of the Muppets offers insight into a mechanism that allows for simpler coherent connection between texts. The Muppets’ ongoing performer narrative challenges the prevailing understanding of transmedia storytelling. As performative characters (singers, actors, performance artists), any text concerned with Muppets, even those in which they act as other characters, becomes part of an overarching Muppet narrative. A high degree of self-reflexivity further supports transmediality, as most Muppet texts contain references to that text as a performance by the Muppets. Thus the comic Muppet Robin Hood and the film Muppet Treasure Island continue the story of the Muppets as further insight is gained into the characters' personalities and ongoing performance history. Examining different iterations of the Muppets franchise illuminates the ramifications of performer narratives for transmedia storytelling. KEYWORDS Transmedia storytelling, franchise, narrative, Muppets, multi-platform For over fifty-five years the Muppets have been appearing in media texts. They began on local television but have spread across most contemporary mediums, with many of these texts part of the over-arching, ongoing Muppet story. This article explores an alternative framework for defining one form of transmedia storytelling. This model suggests a complication in the understanding of transmedia storytelling put forward by Henry Jenkins (2006) and Elizabeth Evans (2011).

  • Representations of Diversity in the Children's Educational Television
    Who are the People in your Neighborhood? Representations of Diversity in the Children’s Educational Television Show Sesame Street Veronica Hauad EDUP&L 834 – MON/WED 1:30pm The goal of this lesson is to help students assess the representation of racial and ethnic diversity (or total lack thereof) in media. This specific lesson will address the representation of diversity in the children’s educational television show Sesame Street. Overview More than ever, very young children are watching television. They are watching on the weekends, after school, and sometimes even in the classroom as a means of learning. If television is going to play such an important part in the lives of children, it is imperative that parents and educators highlight the television shows that will be the most beneficial for their children to watch. Ideally television shows geared toward young children would be as educational as possible, both in the traditional school sense as well as culturally educational. Since the show’s inception, the creators of Sesame Street have strived to provide both kinds of education. Sesame Street first aired in 1969. The creators of the show developed Sesame Street with the goal of improving school readiness in urban socioeconomically disadvantaged children. Segments highlighted the introduction of letters of the alphabet, numbers, and shapes and colors. But the show was also designed to promote positive images of diversity. The show’s creators hoped that positive media representations of racial and ethnic minorities would not only boost cultural pride and self-confidence, but they would also enhance awareness and understanding.

  • Happy Birthday! Two Peds in a Pod Turns Six Years Old!
    Happy Birthday! Two Peds in a Pod turns Six Years Old! Caroll Spinney, a.k.a. Bird Bird and Oscar the Grouch, addresses the American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference in 2011 (Dr. Lai’s iPhone 3 or 4 captured this “high” quality photo) Today, as Two Peds in a Pod turns six years old, we think about our favorite six-year-old, Big Bird. A friend sent me this link to an interview with Caroll Spinney on NPR. Now 81 years old, Caroll Spinney has played Big Bird on Sesame Street since the show first aired in 1969. According to the puppeteer, Big Bird has always been six years old. Spinney wanted Big Bird to forever bubble over with the curiosity and enthusiasm for learning which characterize a six year old’s development. In kindergarten or first grade, a six-year-old rapidly gains new skills. They learn how to read at this age if not earlier. They like to belong to a group and feel included. Sit in the back of a first grade classroom and listen to the class have a conversation. The teacher may ask the kids, “Who has ever been to the ocean?” and watch all the hands go up. As she calls on each child to tell his story about going to the beach, some kids tell about their beach vacations, some talk about which relative or friend they visited at the beach, and at least one six-year-old will say “I never saw the ocean, but I have a dog!” because they want so desperately to belong to the conversation.
