Honestly, I feel a twinge of guilt every time I use Google, lol. One of these days I'm switching for good. :fanatic:

And at this point, Barney ain't the power house he used to be. What shows is Sesame Street competing against at this point, that they think they still need to go all fantastical? Not saying there aren't any, I'm just curious.

My Dad actually loves those ads because they remind him somewhat of the Muppets' old Wilkins coffee commercials, lol.

Have to say I prefer that (no surprise, lol). As a kid, I enjoyed it when Sesame Street showed me real places I had never been before. With real people just being normal, rather than "acting" for the camera. It gave the show a grounded vibe. The Calypso theme made the show feel more like a...

Yup you've mentioned that and I am flattered, hehe. Actually, I believe I started posting on Muppet Central in my sophomore year of college! I've looked back at old posts before and many I literally have no memory of writing, lol. :concern:

I still get asked if I'm in college, and I just went to my 10 year reunion, lol.

Well I don't know the whole situation, but some fans these days seem to demand that their characters be perfect right from the start (or at least perfect reflections of themselves, heh). And as you kinda indicated, they can be quite cruelly unforgiving. They've forgotten that the whole point of...

I'm just glad Lee got to realize his dream of being in a film adaptation of Lord of the Rings. I remember him talking about how he read the books literally once a year all his life.

Plus I imagine those incidents are pretty rare.

I put it on Perdue nuggets all the time, lol. Wait, really? That's really hard to wrap my head around. What are you supposed to put on it then? Of course, I occasionally put mayo on my franks and no one gets that either, lol.

Thank you. It's strange that the minute your opinion isn't bright and cheerful, the answer must be that you're completely against change. It's just a cheap way to instantly invalidate someone's opinion.

Yup, I remember those. I was actually going through a mustard phase at the time (pretzels, etc.) and couldn't understand the puppets' reaction, lol.

I just think Loraine's parents were portrayed as being oblivious to the obvious (common theme in '80s teen type flicks).

So they don't respond the same way. That doesn't mean they can't handle it. If they really want to be modern, then they should tear down Hooper's and replace it with a Duane Reade. And I'm half serious, btw. I mean, the point of the show when it began was to depict city life in a somewhat...

I'm sure there are more parks than they're used to be, but I do think it's dangerous to start assuming from our nice comfortable porches that things have gotten so much better. And in any case, I'm not a fan of censoring Television on the off chance that one kid might try to copy something...

Oh? I hadn't realized we'd eliminated poverty in this country. And I never once said change was automatically bad. Sheesh, the version I grew up with was very different from the '70s version. I have no problem with that. But what about that Sesame Street producer that said Oscar would probably...

I think they had to keep up with the competing viewership and toy sales. Which I do understand. But then they shouldn't masquerade that as evolving educational needs.

Really sick of this unfounded fear that kids head's will explode in confusion if they happen to see anything made before the year 2000. PBS is doing kids no favors by perpetuating such a shallow, flavor of the month attitude. They are depriving kids the value of history and culture by doing...

I was glad the question of Elmo was brought up and think Frank Oz gave the best answer.

Probably the most moving part for me was the segment about Big Bird in China. I don't want to give too much away, but my friend had to hand me the tissues. :cry:
