    Which Muppet would you go on a date with?

    Janice... We'd toss back root beer and wings and talk about the Sunset Strip and that whole scene. The Doors, Janis, Jimi...they probably could've hung out with the Mayhem at one point or another. Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff...

    Muppet Film and TV References

    In "Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back", Chris Rock plays Chaka, the director of the movie-within-a-movie. At one point, he becomes fed up with the idea that a black man can't direct, and he said he came up with the original idea for "Sesame Street". The title can't be repeated on this board, but...

    muppet x-mas movie mention in tv guide

    Don't know if it's a typo or not... but they mentioned this movie in Entertainment Weekly's Fall TV Preview, and they said that another Cusack would be in the movie. Of course, I speak of John Cusack, he of "Better Off Dead" and "Say Anything" fame. Any word on whether he'll be in the movie...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    Nora's full name... Nora Nicks, the VJ for NTV. To me, she seemed modeled on one of MTV's first VJs, an N name herself, Nina Blackwood. Fave alphabet sketch: Melissa Etheridge's spoof of her "Like The Way I Do" entitled (I believe) "Like The Way U Does". Sincerely, John...

    Nate Bought a DVD Player...HELP!!!!

    A word of advice from an almost-2-year veteran of DVDs... Make sure the movie you want is in its Original Aspect Ratio. If a movie was made in a widescreen format, it is best that it is seen that way. "Die Hard" in widescreen on DVD is a thing of beauty..."Die Hard" in pan-and-scan (which is...

    Favorite celebrity appearances on "Sesame Street"...

    ssetta, I know it wasn't produced by CTW/Sesame Workshop... They just got the rights to include "Yakety Yak" in a few episodes. When I said "through the back", I guess I should have said "It allowed indirect 'Street' appearances by..." Would that be a little better? Sincerely, John...

    Favorite Count Von Count Moments

    The Count's celeb sketches, of course... The Susan Sarandon sketch was charming (not to mention it's probably the only educational kids show I can think of that snuck in a reference to RHPS). So that's what Kathleen Turner did when she appeared on "Sesame Street"...I NEED that sketch on...

    Muppets Christmas Movie Wraps

    If the regular Muppets themselves can't get A-list stars... then how come "Sesame Street" can? This past year, they got some major TV talent to make appearances (James Gandolfini and Edie Falco from "The Sopranos" and Ray Romano from "Everybody Loves Raymond"), as well as musical acts like...

    More Fun With Snoop Dogg

    That wasn't Snoop Dogg's song originally, frogboy... It was actually "Atomic Dog" and it was by George Clinton originally. Snoop just sampled it for one of his songs... As for the "Doggystyle" videos, I'll only say that they make biting the heads off of bats look G-rated by comparison...

    The most tear-jerking Muppet moment...

    My moments... The letter readings from MCJH Kermit's Ghost Town Speech from TMM (The lines that gets to me: "If you don't agree with it, well, then...Go ahead and kill me." They would NEVER do that in a Muppet product nowadays) "One Little Star" from "Follow That Bird" The whole of MTM...

    Favorite celebrity appearances on "Sesame Street"...

    Aaah, yes, Romano did a good appearance on the show. I thought he and Grover has some brilliant interplay. Also, I never saw the segment but I'm wondering: She's always been one of my favorite actresses, and I missed out on her "Street" appearance. When Kathleen Turner appeared on...
