    Little things we've noticed

    Peter Linz is movin' right along, isn't he! It's great that he's inherited such an iconic Muppet role. Muppet Wiki says that he is also the new performer of Link Hogthrob, Robin the Frog, Statler, and Herry Monster (!!).

    That is also a bummer...I truly wish we could see more of characters like Snuffy, Rosita, and the Count. As far as I know, Marty and Carmen haven't retired yet. Also, I wish that Telly would appear more often...I read somewhere that the writers loved doing scripts for him, and Marty enjoyed...

    Little things we've noticed

    Wow...this makes me feel a bit unhappy about the revamped Sesame Street. I hate to say it, but I think that there is too much focus on the Muppets. Not that the Muppets are detrimental to our health, but SS seemed to be so much more effective and entertaining when the human-to-Muppet ratio was...

    I loved that bit! I got another one from the same film: Frank Oz: To get into Grover, for a long time I went, (in Grover's voice) "Hmm?" Somehow, that always got me into it. But I did fashion Grover on my dog, Fred. :super: Jerry Nelson: One of the writers was writing a new character. He...

    Confessing Crushes...

    Wow, who knew that my comment about Lauren Scala would turn into a mini-thread about feminism and body image? Not to take anything away from the importance of those things, but I'll help us get back on topic with some older female celebs (40+) that I have crushed on: Jennifer Aniston, Gwen...

    Yeah, I prefer a nice pair of legs over a Kardashian-sized butt any day of the week, trust me.

    Sometimes I watch the NBC news at 6:30 a.m. just to see Lauren Scala and her A+ legs.

    Number 119 features Bob, Big Bird, Susan, Gordon, and a handful of relatively obscure Muppets (at the time). Plus, Ernie and Bert exercise, Kermit interviews Pinocchio, and Guy Smiley hosts the Addition Game! Sesame Street Old School Outline 119 Season 9: Bob starts a barbershop quartet on...

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    Frank wasn't in that one. The Muppet Wiki page for "Sesame Street Gangsters" says that sketch had Jim Henson as Lefty, Richard Hunt as Benny, and Jerry Nelson as the boss. Just wanted to point that out. Unless you mean that you enjoy watching Richard and Frank's characters the most when...

    Favorite Muppet Show Guest Star

    I'd have to say my favorite guest star (out of all 120 celebrities) was John Denver. The chemistry that he had with the Muppets was nothing short of astounding and adorable, especially in "The Garden Song." Plus, the exchange with Miss Piggy over swamp creatures is gold because John couldn't...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Yeah, I don't go for the videos where Matt eats sugary things because if I watch them, MY teeth start hurting. With all the fast food and sweets that he's consumed, he should do a challenge where he eats a gigantic bowl of salad or a whole watermelon.

    The "You know what?" thread

    That's Matt Stonie, a professional competitive eater! For some reason I get this awestruck feeling whenever I watch his videos. It's just amazing how Matt eats five buckets of fried chicken, or an entire Thanksgiving meal, or three large pizzas, and still stays thin. I can't even do three...

    The Bob Ross Thread

    Well, the story goes that Bob Ross was a sergeant in the US Air Force during the 1960s. After barking at his men for years, Ross decided that if he ever left the military he would never raise his voice again. Hence, the famous whispery voice that we've come to know and love!
