Thanks for the info! And what Fozzie said actually did cross my mind as a possibility that a number of former SNL stars like Dan Akroyd, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy and the Belushi brothers have appeared appeared in a number of Landis'films probably had something to do with it. With the...

OK I realize this is a little off topic, but Clean Glutch, something you should know is that schools, libraries, internet cafes etc. -- any place that allows generalized internet access, do these things as a matter of routine for a couple of reasons: Downloading files to a hard drive always...

In addition to the hispanic population element, blacks also don't comprise as large a segment of the Canadian population they way they do in the U.S. It's true that black slavery WAS practiced here as well, just not to the same extent as it was in the U.S. And it was abolished sooner because we...

I taped it off A&E in October 2001 and I still have it! All in all, I thought they didn't do to bad a job of giving some detailed biographical info on his pre-Sesame Street muppet work, and had some decent clips of his commercials for Wilkins Coffee, La Choy Chow Mein, as well as a few from "Sam...

I was going to answer the question about MFC but I see it's already been done. The copy of MFC that I own is the butchered version sold on amazon.com. I purchased it with full knowledge of the fact that it had been edited because I thought while an intact copy would have been nice, an edited...

I'm in Vancouver. So are at least two other posters, one of whom WAS CB Boy and I'll let the other one identify himself only if he wants to. I'm pretty much an amateur so puppetry really a hobby for me at this point, but I aspire to professional quality and this whole idea still interests me.

I don't know if this is of any value to you since you didn't specify what kind of information you wanted, but of those shows you mentioned above the only one which I'm even vaguely familiar with is "Circle Square", which aired on Sunday mornings during the early 80s. I grew up in Toronto and...

I was just wondering if anyone knew why there seems to have been such a close professional association between between film director John Landis and many of the Henson performers, at least there definitely was during the 80's and early 90s. To clarify, consider the fact that Frank Oz had minor...

And we all know why that is, right?:D Make no mistake: SNL needs to bring back Scred, Ploobis, The Mighty Favog and all the other "Land Of Gorch" Muppets - 'nuff said!

I think that's because they find the question irritating more than anything else. This rumour about Ernie and Bert's sexuality has been circulating for quite a few years. It's been asked (and answered) countless times elsewhere on the internet. For some people it's a serious inquiry. But most...

I don't think that TEC could be considered "low budget". In fact I think one of the reasons it got cancelled after only six seasons is because they found it too expensive to produce. And that's why from 1977 untill the mid 80s it only survived on PBS in reruns and even those were only from the...

I don't think so. The puppets on TGSC weren't connected to the muppets in any way. Though Kevin Clash was a puppeteer on that show, this was before his association with the Muppets. And the show premiered in 1980 or 81 and The Muppet Show had ended by that time so I don't think it's the same...

I do remember The Great Space Coaster! It was OK, but not one of my personal favourites. I liked the Gary Gnu segments though. They would always be introduced by another character from the show who would say "and now for something REALLY 'g-new'...here's Gary Gnu!" And if I recall correctly...

Actually, I think Cookie Monster predates Sesame Street. I seem to recall reading somewhere that the first incarnation of Cookie was during the early 60s and he was originally designed by Jim Henson and Don Sahlin for an IBM commercial. My source of information for this might have been "Jim...

For Fozzie and others: Trust me, you're not alone. Should you doubt this at all, then you might find it worth your while to check out this site: www.customerssuck.com I've been a member of that particular board for sometime, and after reading the rants of so many other disgruntled...
