Personally, I think Sesame Street could fare well without PBS. There's enough product licensing and plenty of kids educational programming that would embrace it quickly on commercial TV. Like was said earlier, we're not saving Sesame Street or educational programs. We're saving British...

Sesame Street was my favorite show as a child, and I don't remember life without it. In church when I was very young, I remember marionettes and Mr Rogers type puppets. I don't remember much of what they taught, but it sure beat the flannelgraph and captured my attention. And I loved to come...

I'm not here to make enemies either, but I think there is a big difference between taking notes and sketches from watching the video vs copying the video. The notes are yours because you produced them. You didn't produce the video. It's not yours, once you sell it. And you are absolutely...

Yeah, after I posted my question, I read a few posts down to the Bear Project. I'm really fascinated by that wedge method. My real problem is that I've never hand sewn anything in my life, always a machine. This is probably the crowd One Way was heading at with their pattern. I have to...

I just bought the foam book and respective videos. I rather like it, but was a little disappointed that both videos had the same footage for most of the time. I understand that the production costs are cheaper and that much of the construction is the same. But it would've been nice to do a...

Maybe someone can help me. I don't know why I'm asking here. I figure somebody might see this and help me out. I'm doing a skit, playing a private eye. I'm looking for some sax music on Kazaa that has that kind of lonely jazz gumshoe flavor. Problem is, I don't have any idea how to...

My name is Markus. But lots of people call me Ray. DAG NAB IT! MARKUS AND RAY AREN'T THAT CLOSE! Actually that was fake anger. They call me Ray because I look just like Ray Romano. I think it's funny and have met lots of people who say, "Did anyone ever tell you that you look like Ray...

It blows my mind why we announce these things. Can you imagine the Japanese saying "Oh, excuse me? In three months we're going to attack Pearl Harbor." One thing I do understand though. France, Germany, Russia, and China all have money at stake with oil deals in Iraq. I'm convinced that's...

Okay, here are my highly opinionated opinions of the Star Trek series... Star Trek (TOS): Boring hippie drivel. Just seemed like one big political/worldview vehicle for Roddenberry. The best part was that Captain Kirk was played by such a bad actor. I... liked... each... word...

Two actually "I'm a dog, I'm a working dog. I'm a hard working dog." and "I love, love, love... being a pig." The dog came to mind first, but I loved to sing "Being a Pig" (if that's the title) around the house. My mom thought it appropriate for me as well. (Call her for...

Okay, my favorite 3 Amigos scene was when Martin Short, (Ned) was sharing with the little Mexican kids about when he met Dorothy Gish. DOROTHY GISH! Markus

I don't know if this happened on the show, but I had a Sesame Street story book where the Genie in the Tube of Toothpaste gave Cookie three wishes. Cookie at a large semi truck ate the end. I think I had the same story on a record as well. (That's a precursor to the CD for you youngins out...

Some of the Swedish Chef and Veterinarian's Hospital sketches are transcribed on a website at www.puppetresources.com Just look under the category of Muppets. The site is basically a free script depository, mainly of Christian skits for free exchange but contains non-Christian and...

Cool, thanks for a good lead. I'll look into it.
