    Ned's illness...

    I don't know the answer to that Beau, but I will look into the British releases when we fly to London in November. Till then, I guess all we can do is assume. Because the German version is parallel to the N. American version, I would guess that they left in the same manner as the Doc character...

    Ned's illness...

    Oh geeee, tanks a lot! :p I was 12 when it came on, and I missed the last two seasons because I lost cable television, but still I always loved it. IMO Fraggle Rock is like a fine wine, each time I watch it, the show just gets better and better. So in the immortal words of Philo and Gunge...

    Read any good books lately?

    You probably read the English translation. I want to get the original in German and read it. Cornelia Funke is a well known writer here, and I do have the third book of the trilogy here, I would prefer to read the original, that is if I understand the language well enough to. Hopefully I can...

    Ned's illness...

    You're right, but from what my friend in Tucson said, it wasn't just the pollution that caused the outgrowth of astma cases there. I am wont to say that there were probably factors involved like that. I could not move back to Houston because of the pollution issue. The last time I was there...

    What is your "prized possession" that noone else gets?

    I don't know, there are a lot of things that I treasure, but to pin it down to one thing is hard. So I will write about two things, both came from my grandmother. The first was the handmade rag doll my grandmother made for me. It came complete with a handsewn dress, bloomers, hat and shoes...

    Saturday Morning memories thread

    How silly of me? I forgot some of the best cartoons in my list. The classic Hanna Barbara cartoons. Scooby Doo, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, Captain Caveman, Hair Bear Bunch, Wacky Races...and the list goes on and on. Those were classic cartoons and I should not have forgotten them. I...

    FINALLY a Complete Series Set I DON'T Oppose!

    You're not kidding. I wanted to get a couple of episodes from various seasons of that show and the price per season was astronomical. I am not a huge fan of that particular show, but there are episodes that I would love to have. It's sort of sad that some of the best shows have the highest...

    Read any good books lately?

    I started reading Inkheart, and liked it. I read the three Twilight books as summer reading and didn't like them at all. The fourth one, I started but got quickly bored. So, I am going back to reading Inkheart and will hopefully get around to reading The Shack very soon. I also want to read...

    Ned's illness...

    They didn't really say where specifically they moved to. Doc just told Gobo that they were moving to a place called the desert, which sort of implies Arizona, but keeps things rather non-geographcial. He didn't say Arizona specifically, but that's sort of the impression that the viewers get...

    How's the weather where you are?

    humid and very much like the town where I grew up. :(

    Ned's illness...

    The thing that strikes me as odd, if Ned had astma and left the damp climate, then why did they move to the desert? I mean; according to my doctor, who has been treating my asthma for the last 10 years, the desert is probably the worst place in the world for astma sufferers to pack up and move...

    Are these the new Fraggle puppets for the movie?

    Well, after living in this country for close to 13 years, I sort of have to. I am a firm believer that if I live in a country then I should know the language. I will not move somewhere and not make the effort to learn the language. But, this was what I love about Fraggle Rock is how they...

    FINALLY a Complete Series Set I DON'T Oppose!

    Oh good heavens, I had completely forgotten about the 60's Batman show. That was a funny thing. Now, I'm remembering when the Monkees did a take off of that, and now I have Davy saying 'Holy Frog's legs, that smarts,' going through my mind. He and Peter did 'Frogman and Ruben the tadpole' off...

    What was the last DVD you bought and why?

    Just ordered the Muppet Show Season 3, and Fraggle Rock season 4 (Australian release). As far as having bought films in the store, I just bought 'The Tigger Movie' on sale because my husband and I love Winnie the Pooh. Today, we're going shopping, so I'll post again if I buy something new.

    What's Wrong with Sweatpants?

    This discussion sort of reminds me of the film 'The Princess Diaries' when Mia has to debate supporting the school having uniforms. I could understand what she was saying, because it would have been easier for the kids who were not always rich. Of course, most people would have to realize that...

    Save Mister Rogers' Neighborhood

    Yes it was, I agree. The autographed picture of him and Daniel S. Tiger in Russia was sent with his first letter, along with a two page letter as well as articles about his trip to Moscow. Seeing as I had told him that I was fascinated with Russia (and even got a BA Degree in Russian Studies)...

    These are a few of my favorite things...

    I am playing nice, I didn't throw any cheese back. I've got an even better idea... ::walks to Doc's house:: ::knocks at door:: Hi Doc, could I please borrow a custard cream pie from your stash? (pause) :: Doc brings a large white box:: Thanks, I owe you! ::leaves:: Mwahahahha, now...

    These are a few of my favorite things...

    That's so comforting to know. I have been in far too many places where I have seriously been outnumbered and figured that people thought I was too old to be a candidate for the super cool and groovy. :sing:
