    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Here's an episode from season 4 with Frank Oz's characters (Grover, Cookie Monster, and Harvey Kneeslapper)! I'm glad to see "Beat the Time," "Grover the Waiter," and "Roosevelt Franklin Elementary School" in this episode as well. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0515

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    I had no issues with the computer test...it's just the actual DRIVING part that has been screwing me lately.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Whoa...that is literally the same story with me. Every single detail. It was weird because it was just on that day of the test, I made so many errors. I didn't even do that poorly or feel so out of whack during my FIRST test back in July. I know that's it's a privilege to drive, and not...

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    Don't I know it! Most of my friends got their licenses by 18, I was the odd one out but I was going to college in NYC where I didn't need to drive. I would really love to be able to drive so I can start being more independent and not be holed up in my workplace or my house all the time. As a...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I remember reading somewhere that back in the 1970s, Caroll Spinney would prerecord the dialogue and then suit up as Big Bird. Another Muppeteer (usually Jerry Nelson or Richard Hunt, and then later Jim Martin) would perform Oscar to the vocal track. I think Noel MacNeal and Matt Vogel also...

    Ric Ocasek found dead in New York City at age 75

    I always loved the Cars' debut..."Just What I Needed," "My Best Friend's Girl," and "Good Times Roll" were some of the big hits from that album alone. Then they had "Shake It Up," "Drive," and "You Might Think" later on. It's been said that if there's a heaven, they sure have a heck of a band...

    Round 2 of the driver's license test (three days ago). Test: 2, me: 0. :frown: I was nervous from the start, and I don't even know why. I was driving too slow, I was unsure of when to turn at each intersection (right-of-way), and I messed up a K-turn. It got so bad that I even made a left...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sure, and this was VERY evident in the classic Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies cartoons. One could see how crude and unrefined characters like Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Bugs Bunny, Sylvester, and Tweety used to be in the 1940s; but they became much more polished over time, not just in terms of...

    The "You know what?" thread

    The months September, October, November, and December represent the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth months of the calendar year. But the prefixes "sept," "oct," "nov," and "dec" are related the numbers 7, 8, 9, and 10 (an octagon has eight sides, for example). I did some quick research and...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Matt was SO good at ad-libbing, although his slang sounds very dated. He seemed to be more adventurous with his lines compared to Loretta, Bob, Will, and the other future cast members. In terms of ad-libbing skill, I think Matt might have been up there with the Muppeteers, especially Jim and...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    Late to the game...but here are some thoughts on this post. First, there looks like a really wide range of segments, from classic to recent and iconic to obscure. But I'm looking forward to that, and will gladly plop down some money for this DVD set. And a wish list of classic segments I'd...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    That reminds me of James Earl Jones' quote (which I'm paraphrasing) from his "Favorite Sesame Street Moment" segment: "When Sesame Street was starting, I said that the Muppet monsters would not work because they would frighten children. [the scene cuts to the "C is for Cookie" remake] What did I...
