“Since I’ve been on Sesame Street, I have seen it change. But throughout all the changes—condensing the street story, the magazine format, utilizing computer animation—it’s still a show for pre-schoolers learning their ABCs, 123’s and basic concepts of friendship, cooperation and honesty. We have to remember that this show is an experiment. And in the experiment we teach the same things we did forty years ago, but it’s how we teach those things that has changed to reflect the way kids learn today.”
— Matt Vogel, Muppeteer

From Part 1 of our interview.

For anyone who participated in the Muppet Postcard project, I just got a postcard from one Mr. Matt Vogel in the mail yesterday (only just got it today, since I’ve been house sitting all weekend). So! If you wrote to Matt, I bet you’ll be getting one soon if you haven’t gotten one already!

I can’t vouch that all the Muppeteers will be responding to their fans’ postcards, but I bet a few more will as well! Fingers crossed!
