    Goodfeathers

    I always loved the Goodfeathers when I was a kid. Seeing Pesto start a fight always made me smile or laugh, the way he'd shout "THAT'S IT!" and the next thing you know there'd be a huge fight cloud! And Bobby's "Are you lookin' at me?"/"Are you talkin' to me?"/"Are you quacking at me?" (he said...

    Eddie Deezen

    I DID find him annoying as the Caliph in "Scooby-Doo's Arabian Nights," but that whole movie was awful anyways (it was a rip-off of "Tiny Toon Adventures" and "Animaniacs," IMHO), and I remember when Gibby Norton showed up in an episode of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" I was checking out, I...

    Caroll Spinney, Season 40 Article

    In the first appearance I couldn't even tell it was Jerry Nelson OR Caroll Spinney due to the heavy modulation. Heck, even Fran Brill would've done just as good a job with Sam the Robot! Besides, Jerry Nelson WAS also performing Snuffy at that time (the front half)

    What if Sesame Street was ANIMATED ?

    That might work. And if it were animated in the 1970s, DePatie-Freleng could've done an animated Sesame Street series. (DePatie-Freleng was the old name for Marvel Productions). Also, Joe Raposo worked for DePatie-Freleng before; he scored "Halloween is Grinch Night" and "Pontoffel Pock, Where...

    SST Episode Outline: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street (an adaptation)

    SESAME STREET EPISODE LAYOUT: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street NOTE: This will be done as a modern-style episode like the past season, since I think adapting a book like this would seem to be better suited as a single street story, IMO. This episode is adapted from the Golden Book...

    The animator of the first episodes....

    That is pretty neat. However, I recently found out the 1986 (or was it 1987?) opening sequence was also animated by Toei as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaddpsKdKg Even though by this time the Japanese animators got more comfortable with the characters and made their movements...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I DVRd the special, watching it right now as I speak. Pretty cool special, and great to see that the Muppets still got it, even in 2008! I loved the relationship of Gonzo and Clara, and Fozzie was awesome as usual! Eric Jacobson did a very good job with Piggy and Fozzie, at some points I...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Here is the link to Part 1... http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=31456 And as far as the music goes, yes, I agree it is rather eerie-sounding music, but it's tame compared to the music in THIS skit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xunXQPEcoHM That is possibly the...

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    I believe most of those changes occured due to when Teletape went bankrupt, forcing the CTW crew to move the Sesame Street set to the Kaufman Astoria studios. The show's main opening and closing credits weren't the only titles that changed that year either. "Monsterpiece Theater" and "The...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yes, that was the intro to Mysterious Theater. It was parodying the scene in the real "Mystery!" intro at the :10 mark in this clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAmGsM4Dids As a kid I thought the "Mysterious Theater" intro was a little freaky, but I wasn't scared of Vincent Twice...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade

    I SEE KERMIT! Steve Whitmire did a great job with him as always. Was Steve actually under the float, or was it a pre-recorded voice track? This is the best Macy's parade I've ever seen. With the Sesame Street cast (reviving a few "forgotten" Muppets too) and Kermit the Frog, it REALLY made my...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade

    I SAW HERRY MONSTER ON THE SESAME STREET FLOAT! For those who didn't see, he was right next to Count von Count and Murray Monster in the building setup. Good to see my favorite unibrowed monster back in action! And it was awesome seeing Barkley, as usual. AND Alice finally made a...

    PLEASE post the link! I'm DYING to see it! It's because my mom won't let me record "Family Guy" on the DVR just so she can watch her show in high-definition :mad:

    What Would You Like to See on SST?

    I'd like to see them do a remake of "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street." It could make a neat street story! Here are the differences they would do from the book version: *Instead of passing some kids skating and sledding, some kids and Anything Muppets getting ready to skate and sled...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Last night I went to a pre-Halloween party held by my college. I went wearing my Big Bad Wolf costume, and right when they saw it, I was then "Mr. Popular" :D I often go with a unique Halloween costume every year that you typically wouldn't see. I also danced up a storm! (I did some of the...
