The RHLC!

Yeah there does seem to be some strange inconsistency there. It could have been a compromise. The character wouldn't be as funny without the head banging, but then they were still afraid of showing violence to kids.

But it's Muppet violence! Even the most sheltered of children would know that it's not real, unless they're hugely ignorant or stupid or something.

I always think there was probably one kid who didn't think and ended up getting bumped on the head; that's usually all it takes to start one of these things. Odd how even cartoon violence still exists to some extent, but somehow puppet violence seems to come across more real, lol.

It could be because, as we've pointed out in the "frog vs mouse" fued, the puppets come off as more real.

Yeah really, it's like cutting away from the guys drinking at Cheers, lol. Either you're going to do it, or not. But to do it and then cut away is just kinda funny.

I never understood why parents would think kids would slamm there heads on stuff, maybe it's his pessamistic attitude but he allways overcomes it so i don't see a problem. My favorite bar none is Mary had a Bycicle

That's what I really like about his sketches, it's about overcoming a negative attitude. As soon as he comes to a problem, he freaks out and laments that it will never be solved. He always has to be encouraged not to give up, which is a great lesson. Particularly for me, I'm not a big fan of experimenting. I just want to have the answer to a question right away and be done with it, much like Don lol. I

I also like how the sketches show sometimes you need to rely on other people and let them help you. And he always thanks Kermit or whoever in the end (well, at least most of the time!)

Ditto. Especially when it involves a school assignment.

*Drops by... Extra special hugs to my cyber-cousin Sara who started this wonderful thing called the RHLC. You rully moved me with your stirring message on MuppetCast 57. You know we're here for you if you need to talk or just a hug, or even an orange-covered chocolate doughnut.

Though I'm not rully an RHLC lifer like the rest of this group's higher ranked founding members, I do think I identify somewhat with Scooter or at least his officious backstage qualities, and Beaker's mishaps too from time to time.
So here's abig huggle goin' out to my cousin... Sara!


And happy Mother's Day to Jane, all three of them.
