This week we're joined by Tough Pigs writer, podcast host, and Sesame Street expert Becca Petunia to talk about more of Sesame Street anniversary specials.

We completed anohter lap around the Earth, though a little slower and closer to the Reaper's cold grasp. Time to celebrate with some truly terrible puppet-based TV shows and then upload our conversation about them to the internet in a pathetic bid for immortality!  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch!

We actually watched some stuff this episode! Of course, it's a bunch of newly-surfaced stuff from years we've already covered, so it doesn't actually move us foreward in our Kermitment in any way and in fact prolongs it BUT still. Join us as we celebrate the life of MuppetVision 3D with some cool interviews and footage of the opening day parade, and also we watched some dumb stuff for babies. And Gene Shalit is here too for some reason.  Check out http://kermitmentstuff.com/ to get your Kermitment merch! Kermitment has a Patreon!
