    Another Stupid movie to Overreact to...

    Oh, i dunno about that...people's capacity for coming up with all new bad ideas on a fairly regular basis quite amazes me.

    Misconceptions about your age

    When i was a kid, people always thought i was older than i was due to a combination looking older and being very mature for my age in terms of personality and how i carried myself. (And since i started shaving at an early age also helped) That lasted from childhood up until my mid-20's. Once...

    One thing that annoyed me in "The Muppets"

    I never really noticed the billboard and it doesn't bother me being in there for a coupla reasons... (1) no one's yet mentioned it may have been worked in there as the filmmakers' way of saying "thank you" to Pixar with their help assisting them with the pre-production going-over-the-script...

    ...Whenever you get bad service at a restaurant you just smile to yourself, look up and say "This is in honor of you, Jerry"

    Homesick

    It is indeed Flash in Solid Foam. I know you like to incorporate songs in your fics - are you aware of The Pretenders' "My City Was Gone"? I have a feeling it might come in handy for the story you're telling.

    Target Age Gap and Age of Children on the Show

    Being an educational show, it would make sense to have children on the show who were more adept at the things they were teaching or showing. Kids on the show should already know how to count/say alphabet (even if they need help or propting) as opposed to the kids they're teaching at home who...

    Sesame Street Episode Shooting

    Don't have specific episode dates but yeah, in the early days this wouldn't have been uncommon. Remember in the goldie oldie days, they were doing 130 episodes a year - that's one new episode every weekday for six months! That's basically the same as a soap opera shooting schedule and even...

    Are Muppet DVD Traders Still Around on the net?

    Although they've become a thinner rank due to the rise of Youtube and similar video sharing sites, tape traders do indeed still exist. Many of us like having physical copies not susceptable to download times, interuptions or possibility of disappearing. I personally am not doing major trades...

    Proposal: "Jerry Nelson Day"

    Looking for the just the right way to remember Jerry Nelson this week? Well, since he was largely known for his voice (speaking, announcers. characters, and singing), perhaps the best way to do so is to take a minute to observe a moment of silence to symbolize the loss of "The Voice of the...

    Muppet Freak is back...kinda

    "Bad Business" has been pushed back this week so that we may instead remember Jerry Nelson (and propose a Jerry Nelson Day): http://muppetfreak.blogspot.com/2012/08/reaching-top-of-those-stairs-fond.html

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    But he did still originate the character and played him for several years so it's fair game to mention it in a news recap. Frustrating when it doesn't match a Nelson-era clip but that's today's modern news programming for ya. Wow - funny you should ask that particular question. I've been...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Sad to see the passing of another Muppet vet...but not an unexpected one. I take comfort that Jerry had a long and full life and that given his declining health over the years, both Jerry and his friends/colleagues/family have had ample time to adjust and prepare both emotionally and...

    The Muppet Show question

    Do you have a scan of one as reference? I have a feeling something's getting misinterpreted. Hard though it may be for some people to believe, there are actually old dinosaurs like myself and many others here that were actually, like, HERE when TMS originally aired. Back in those exotic times...

    Animal DXD

    You can find them in the video section at the CURRENT muppets.com - they don't have them all (there's three on there) but among the three is "What's Animal Doing Now?" which was a compilation of all the shorter ones anyway.
