    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    Seriously...if anything on this forum deserves a "LOVE" react, it's this video of Caroll's retirement party. Since Caroll Spinney has given so much love to the world over the years, he has truly earned the outpouring of love that he's getting now. I'm sure that other SS legends who have left...

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    Sesame Street would not have been such a huge success if Caroll Spinney hadn't joined. Big Bird and Oscar were big influences in my life, and have impacted millions (maybe even billions) of people. Caroll, if you ever see this, thank you for making a positive difference in the world. PS If...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Not to mention that Sex & Violence has recurring sketches like At the Dance, the Mount Rushmore bits, the wrestling match, and Statler and Waldorf's commentary---all interspersed with Sam, Floyd, and Nigel's "backstage" scenes. Just like how Sesame Street was structured with cartoons, films...

    The New New Quote Thread

    Sam the Eagle: That does it! I am leaving! (walks away, but then stops and turns around) Well? Don't you have anything to say before I go? Floyd Pepper: Yeah! On your way out, can you empty the garbage? The Muppet Show, Episode 312: James Coco

    Little things we've noticed

    Sometimes I wonder if Jerry Nelson was always the puppeteer operating Little Jerry. I vaguely remember hearing that Jim Henson sometimes operated Little Jerry to Nelson's vocal track, but in "Mad" it does look like Frank's performance. I'm inclined to believe that Jerry Nelson operated and...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    That's what Warner Brothers did when they released the Looney Tunes Golden Collection DVD sets. There were several cartoons back in the 1930s and 1940s that had negative racial stereotypes and mature themes (war, violence, peril, sex, etc.), but there was a disclaimer on each DVD that went like...

    Now I'm on a Diana Ross listening binge... :) "Last Time I Saw Him," "I'm Coming Out," and this classic.

    Little things we've noticed

    In the Raquel Welch episode from TMS season 3, there were two songs that Diana Ross originally performed: "Baby It's Me" and "Confide in Me." One season later, Diana Ross herself was a guest star on TMS (and a very memorable one at that!). Any other instances of this?

    Confessing Crushes...

    I was chatting with some of my co-workers at a bar about a woman at my workplace (a school) who said something rather...strongly worded to me. Even though she was trying to help, it didn't do anything for my confidence and she was in a bad mood at the time. One guy (single, mid-30s) asked, "Is...

    Favorite Frank Oz character?

    For me, it's Grover and Cookie Monster for the following reasons. I have ALWAYS loved Grover as the waiter for Mr. Johnson (one of my favorites is the singing/dancing waiter bit), and in the Muppet-Kid moments. Grover is charming, persistent, and occasionally shows a biting sense of humor...

    Confessing Crushes...

    Kermit's deadpan commentary is what sells it for me! But yeah, this is a great Animal moment that really highlights Frank Oz's impeccable comedic timing, along with the 1979 Tonight Show appearance with Bernadette Peters and Vincent Price (mumbling "Happy birthday to yoooouuu..."). EDIT: I...

    Wish I watched Naruto, then I'd understand the jokes that you've got with other MC people... Also, this would be me after seeing a lady wearing pantyhose or fishnets in a singles bar...

    Confessing Crushes...

    Is he sneezing? I honestly don't know what the **** he's doing, but it's got me smiling for some reason. But also I am a sucker for women who wear black pantyhose, or in some cases nice fishnet stockings. If a woman does it effectively, they can come off as confident and stylish rather than...

    The "You know what?" thread

    TR is great! I remember the time that my family and I stopped at a Texas Roadhouse after an 11-hour drive to Indianapolis. We put away those rolls with apple-cinnamon butter like there was no tomorrow...and THEN we ordered our dinner!

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Agreed! I work four days a week, so on my off days I plan to do more exercising. No gym membership, but I have a stationary bike and a rowing machine at home...so hopefully I'll get in better shape. Today I rode my stationary bike for 25 minutes after setting a preliminary goal of 15 minutes...
