    How's the weather where you are?

    I'm not going to give an exact location, but I'm near NYC. The storm blew through for nearly an entire day. Lots of fallen tree branches, debris, snow, and rain. Just some of the worst weather I've seen in a while.

    How's the weather where you are?

    Some people in the Northeast were very lucky indeed. I was not one of them.

    Little things we've noticed

    In an earlier skit "What's My Part," the announcer says the same thing along the lines of: "Our mystery guest is a NOSE!" And even then Bennett Snerf, Arlene Frantic, and Cookie Monster didn't figure it out. At least the panel found out at the end, with that brilliant reaction: "A NOSE?! What's...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Yesterday's weather was HORRIBLE. Dark skies, a wintery mix, and gusting winds that knocked out the power in my house for 29 hours.

    I know that he sung the bass part on "High Middle Low," but I honestly can't remember any of his vocal contributions after 1974.

    Little things we've noticed

    Ever notice that most Muppet monsters like Cookie Monster, Herry, Grover, and Elmo wear pajamas in nighttime songs or skits, but during the day they don't wear clothing? I realized this while watching LittleJerry92's upload of "Good Morning" with Herry Monster. Two things about the "Mystery...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've often heard this in many SS and TMS songs. In "This Frog" and "I Just Adore Four," I hear Jerry Nelson's vocals high in the mix (I think he was one of the Tarnish Brothers too). To me, it seems that Jerry, Chris, and Richard (and sometimes Jeff Moss in the early days) did the vocals for...

    Little things we've noticed

    Something I learned recently about "Fat Cat": when I was younger, I used to think that Richard Hunt performed the voice and puppetry for the Lavender guy. Since I knew that there were four main puppeteers, I assumed that each person played one Muppet. It wasn't until my teens that I learned...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Just been on a listening spree of Muppet Show musical performances, including Danny Kaye's "Inchworm," Elton John's "Crocodile Rock," Bernadette Peters' "Just One Person," Liza Minnelli's "Copacabana," Paul Simon's "Loves Me Like a Rock," and Rita Moreno's "Fever." All classic performances. Now...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Listening to various live versions of "Crocodile Rock," where Sir Elton John changes the lyrics in the final verse. Depending on where he's playing, he changes "Me and Susie had so much fun" to something related to that town or country. For example, in Spain he once sang, "Señor Wences had so...

    Confessing Crushes...

    Margot's accent just kills me every time. I have a weakness for girls with English or Australian accents. Yeah, I admit that I used to be a fan of J-Law's (especially of her work in the Hunger Games film trilogy) until she started acting like a slob a couple of years back. Then when she got...

    I have no interest in those Facebook tests, but those are some remarkable results that you got. I am also kicking/slapping/walloping myself for not including Natalie Portman or Blake Lively on my celebrity crush list, so I will include them retrospectively. I also want to add Anne Hathaway...

    Confessing Crushes...

    Getting back to more real-life crushes besides those two Buzzfeed girls: there are a couple of Muppet Show guest stars that I thought were knockouts like Raquel Welch, Cheryl Ladd, Rita Moreno, Lynda Carter, Madeline Kahn, and Marisa Berenson. Maria and Gina from Sesame Street are also on my...

    We sure did. Was it one of the last times they performed in a Sesame Street sketch together? In the eighties, Frank and Jim kept doing their Bert and Ernie bits, and Jerry and Richard would work together as the Two-Headed Monster or Biff and Sully. But after 1980 or so, Jim and Frank spent...

    Little things we've noticed

    When I saw "Women Can Be," "The Subway," and other pieces with a LOT of Muppets, that's when it dawned on me that Jim's puppet builders made multiple versions of each puppet. They probably did the same thing on The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock as well...if Kermit, Fozzie Bear, Gobo, or Sprocket...

    Little things we've noticed

    Which skit are you referring to? I recall that one time, Grover used rhyming to help him remember the order ("Round and tasty on a bun, pickles and French fries...yum yum yum!"), and in another classic bit Grover brought Mr. Johnson a tiny burger and then a colossal one that broke down the...

    The Saddest thing that reminds you that you're old...

    I grew up at the turn of the millennium, when there were still metal slides, tire swings, and sand in every playground. Then due to safety concerns (and kids who threw sand everywhere), the slides became plastic and the sand was replaced with wood chips, which kids still threw around. Did...

    Listening to none other than Mr. David Bowie. Forgot how good this song is.
