'''Trashgiving''' is a [[Grouch]] holiday introduces in [[episode 4324|a 2013 episode]] of ''[[Sesame Street]]''.

The holiday's origins aren't made clear in the episode, showing that much like the real [[Thanksgiving]], it celebrates the arrival of the Dispilgrims on their boat, the Maysour. It also seems to celebrate the settlement between the native slugs and worms.

The traditions on the holiday include decorating bare sticks with garbage, eating hot bowls of glob and the gathering of Grouch families, who then complain about each other. They also sing the traditional Trashgiving carol (which resembles "Over the River and Through the Woods"). There is also the annual [[Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade|Trashgiving Day Parade]], featuring music, clowns, floats and balloons.

A '''Shoe''' appears in the "[[Monsterpiece Theater]]" presentation of ''[[William Shakespeare|The Taming of the Shoe]]''.

This prima donna piece of foot wear resides in a dignified bed chamber, where [[Grover|Grovero]] plans to put her on his right foot and walk to the Padua Mall. The shoe, however, gives him a hard time about it ("I will not be tied to any foot!"), claiming she's perfectly capable of getting around by herself. Grovero finds this allegation rich and challenges her to prove it. Sure enough, the shoe finds that she can barely budge an inch on her own. Finally, she agrees to cooperate. Thus, the shoe is tamed.

Once the shoe is on Grovero's foot, she expresses a desire to dance, rather than walk, to the Mall. He is glad to oblige, and the two of them move to the beat of a catchy, jazzy tune. And so goes the course of "shoe love."

'''''MythBusters''''' is a television show airing on Discovery Channel since 2003. The show's hosts, special effects experts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman, use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories.

==Mentions==
* The July 17, 2005 episode looks to debunk myths surrounding the 1975 film ''[[Jaws]]''. Adam Savage describes building a shark replica: "I'm using a technique called additive foam build-up which involves using upholstery foam ... and some contact cement. Which is exactly how they make Muppets, in fact." Later in the program, the narrator announces that "Adam's Muppet man-eater is nearing completion."

* An August 27, 2008 episode takes on the long-rumored [[NASA]] [[The Moon|moon]] landing hoax. In one segment, Grant Imahara constructs a reproduction of the rod-framed American flag placed on the moon by astronauts during the Apollo missions. As he prepares to place the rig inside a vacuum tube, Kari Byron asks "is this your first riiiiig iiiin spaaaace?," placing an emphasis on the words mimicking [[Jerry Nelson]]'s voice-over in ''[[The Muppet Show]]''’s [[Pigs in Space]] segment. The ''MythBusters'' announcer echoes Kari's joke with the same playful expression.

* In the Mythbusters aftershow for the episode of ''Mythbusters'' aired on November 23, 2011, Adam Savage remarks that he got the idea for his bright-red game-show-host suit: "The only game show hosts who wear super-loud suits are [[Sesame Street Game Shows|the ones]] on ''[[Sesame Street]]'', which is ''clearly'' what I was influenced by." ([http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-wheel-of-mythfortune-aftershow-1.html video])

'''''Teeny Tiny Dogs''''' is a series developed by [[The Jim Henson Company]], for [[Amazon.com|Amazon Studios]]. The series would feature puppet [[dogs|dog]] characters and teach kids about happiness, coping, and resilience.

A pilot presentation was posted to Amazon on April 22, [[2013]] to gather viewer feedback. The pilot featured an animatic made of colored storyboards with voiceover. The pilot also included a couple of scenes with the new puppet character Dinky as the final series would be a full-puppet production.

To announce the debut of the animatic, Henson posted the following message on their [[Facebook]] page:
{{quote|Hey parents and caregivers! Our next series is in development and we need your help. “Teeny Tiny Dogs” is a hilarious show that features new puppet dogs from The Jim Henson Company and an exciting new happiness curriculum that helps preschoolers build self-esteem, confidence, and resilience. Our animatic is online and we need feedback! Please watch and let us know what you think. Is it good for your child? Do you think s/he would like it? Any comments are welcome! Thank you!

[NOTE: This animatic is only a step in our development process and we use it to inform the look, tempo and story of the series. This is not the final show! We cut in a couple of scenes with our new character Dinky, but our final series will be a puppet production featuring puppets from our workshop performed by our puppeteers. Our completed show will have no animation, but will star lots of Henson puppet dogs! Woof!]<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/hensoncompany/posts/10151583216097629 The Jim Henson Company on Facebook]. April 22, 2013.</ref>}}

The series was not picked up by Amazon. On May 20, 2013, the Henson Company posted the following message to the Facebook account:
{{quote|It is with regret that we share the news that our show "Teeny Tiny Dogs" did not get a greenlight from Amazon Studios. Unfortunately, we are not privy to the reasons behind their decision to pass, but we are so proud of the incredible support and feedback we received for this project. More people reviewed our episode than any other kids pilot posted on Amazon’s site. With the overwhelmingly positive response from viewers, we are going to follow our own show’s Happiness curriculum by showing GRATITUDE for our many fans who continue to inspire us to do our best work every day, and by feeling HAPPINESS in knowing that this work is GOOD, MEANINGFUL and WORTHWHILE. While we are very disappointed, we will try to find a home for our Teeny Tiny Dogs.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/hensoncompany/posts/10151627552127629 The Jim Henson Company on Facebook].

''Living out the sight of pirate seas.''

[[Baby Kermit]]:

Fire the cannon!

Pirettes (chorus):

''Pirettes are all we ever want to be.''

[[Baby Gonzo]]:

Thar She Blows!

Pirettes:

''If you wonder why we plunder and we steal,''

''You'd be puzzled along to why it makes us feel,''

''It's before us on the shore, we couldn't do right anymore,''

''We're the roughest girls to sail the seven seas.''

[[Baby Scooter]]:

Walk the plank!

Pirettes:

(chorus)

[[Baby Fozzie]]:

Hey, Heidi!

Baby Gonzo:

Shiver me timners, heist the ship!

Pirettes:

Ye done the floor, one ye did.

Raise the flag, Lower the Boom.

We're the Pirettes, give us some room!

Watch this, Kids, Cha-cha-cha-cha!

Watch out for barnicles.

Oh, I think I'm seasick.

(Chorus)

''When we raise the pirate flag,we build a show,''

''so spectacular that we would want to go,''

''to New York and Hollywood, introduce us if you could,''

''so every talent venture that you see,''

''cause the show could use some pirates on TV.''

Captain Blackwig:

Like me!

Captain of the Pittsburgh Pirates:

And me!

The Pirettes

Maxevil — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:42:40 GMT

GonzosNoze:

'''[[File:Pirettes.jpg|thumb]]The Pirettes''' are a trio of girl pirates, who don't show their real faces, just like Nanny and most other humans on the show. They appear in the ''[[Muppet Babies]]'' episode "[[Episode 310: Treasure Attic|Treasure Attic]]".

They plan on burying Stripe-Socks Nanny's treasure and making slaves out of the Muppet Babies, but eventually get tricked by [[Baby Piggy]] by believing they could be on broadway, especially when they sing the episode's main song, "[[Pirates (song)|Pirates]]."

They are voiced by [[Russi Taylor]] as Captain Blackwig (blue pirette), [[Laurie O'Brien]] as Captain Crochet Hook (pink pirette), & [[Katie Leigh]] as the Captain of the Pittsburgh Pirettes (green pirette).

==Notes==
*Despite being exclusive one shot villains with original designs of their own, the Pirettes' names are based on certain captain related names: Captain Crochet Hook is based on [[Peter Pan]]'s Captain James Hook (as well as Captain James Cook), Captain Blackwig is based on Captain Blackbeard, & Captain of the Pittsburgh Pirates is based on a captain of the [[Baseball]] team of the same name.

The '''Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts''' is a plaza located in [[New York City]], established in 1962. The center is home to such institutions as the Juilliard School, the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet and the New York Philharmonic.

[[Jim Henson]] proposed a show, ''[[The Muppets at Lincoln Center]]'', to be performed there. The center approved the idea, but it ultimately never came into fruition.

The cast of ''[[Sesame Street]]'' visited the center in one episode (a clip of which was seen in ''[[A Walking Tour of Sesame Street]]''), where the plaza's famous fountain blocks the adults view of [[Mr. Snuffleupagus]].

For [[season 43]] of ''Sesame Street'', three editions of [[Murray Monster]]'s "[[The People in Your Neighborhood (segment)|People in Your Neighborhood]]" segment were taped at the center, highlighting such performers as the New York City Ballet and Music Director and Conductor [[Alan Gilbert]].
