    How is Jerry Nelson doing?

    Jerry's OK, then? (Whew!) I heard he wasn't feeling well there for a while and I am so relieved to hear he sounded good in the interview. (If you're still visiting MC from time to time, you're in my prayers, Jerry!) I haven't had time to listen to the interview yet, I can't now 'cause I'm...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    You imitated Don Music and feel like smashing the piano, too? :boo: "I hope there's insurance on those Steinways!" :boo::sleep:: "Doh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!" Seriously though, it's just one day. I do remember all too well some Valentine's Days that were either like Lucy's or just plain blah...

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    Making your own stuff. That's really cool. No matter what holiday/occasion it is, a handmade something or other for someone you care about is a dying art, I think. People just run to Hallmark, Macy's (or for some last minute stragglers, Wal-Mart) and grab something off the shelves in a rush...

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on The View

    Hmm...(nods) not bad. I noticed Eric's doing a little of that "lower lip pout" on some of the words in Piggy's dialogue (like Frank used to do). It looked like the same Piggy puppet they used on the 2nd segment of the Today Show. The "wo-pig" reference was a surprise, as was the clip from...

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on Today

    The final hour? Was she already on? I thought her segment was over. (Readies VCR)

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on Today

    I wondered a little about that too. I'm sure Eric was expecting that question so he had to think on his toes to give a fresh answer. This is the first I've heard Piggy mention that she and the frog weren't hitched. A couple things I noticed... ...is the new Piggy puppet they're using...

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on Today

    She's coming up right after the commercial break! They said "We'll be right back with Miss Piggy!" My VCR is humming away... Convincing John

    Man, that stinks. :( At least you can look forward to the Miss Piggy appearance on the Today Show. Convincing John

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on Today

    It was right before the last commercial. I left the tape running so I'll see the "bacon bit" later on. Sounds good! Convincing John

    Your Thoughts: Miss Piggy on Today

    Did you see her with the makeup woman? Al Roker heard her ordering the makeup woman to "fill in the cracks" and he was cracking up! Convincing John

    Humans and Fraggles...

    Here's some insight I had about Traveling Matt a while back. It might help with the topic. Convincing John

    The dark day of Valentines Day is upon us...

    "Oh no! Not again!":grouchy: Yep, again! I thought of this thread the other day when I was at Wal-Mart to get some groceries. Is it possible they put even MORE stuff out this year? Maybe I'm just imagining things, but it just seems like there's been an increase in the stuffed bears, candy...

    Miss Piggy on Today rescheduled for Friday February 6

    She hasn't been mentioned yet, either. They usually mention what's coming up at the beginning of the hour, right? Maybe they had to cut some of their stuff out of the show today because of the Obama interview:smirk:...just a guess... Convincing John

    Miss Piggy on Today rescheduled for Friday February 6

    :mad: "They BETTER not cut out Moi's interview!" (LOL) Seriously, they'll have time. We just gotta be patient. In the meantime, I can check out my local weather. Hmmm...partly crappy with a 40% chance of slushy slop tonight, followed by isolated, unsalted icy spots tomorrow. Just as I...

    Miss Piggy on Today rescheduled for Friday February 6

    Obama already? Your station must show Today sooner than mine. My station just finished the Superbowl report. No pig right now, just the pigskin. :o My VCR is standing by and I'll be watching closely for our favorite porcine diva...:search: Convincing John

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection

    Anyone selling their sketchbook from Season 1? Hey all, I bought Season 1 for a friend this Christmas...but it was a repackaged Season 1 with no replica of Jim Henson's notebook! I didn't get it until a couple days before Christmas and there wasn't much I could do at that point...sure she...

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Season 3

    Hey...yeah she does! LOL! If there were a new Muppet series in the works, can't you just see her doing a sketch? Those "back in St. Olaf" stories she told on the Golden Girls (with the Scandanavian names and various livestock) reminded me a little of the Chef's sketches. Something tells me...

    Tis' the Season...For Cookies & Presents!

    It was on already? Grrrr...oh well, YouTube and my old VHS will do this year. I've been taping from ABC, forgetting about CBS. Some of the new stuff's comparable to the old, and it's not bad at all. I enjoyed The Polar Express and Frosty Returns (with John Goodman). Anyone know when...

    Tis' the Season...For Cookies & Presents!

    Yes, I noticed that, too! Also, another geeky thing...one year they muted the sound effect of both Barney and Santa landing in the fireplace. I haven't read the Emmett review yet. I'll have to check that out. Jerry was there? Awesome! I hope he had a blast. (If he feels like seeing...
