As a child, I knew him best as the dad in the Beethoven movies, and later from Great Muppet Caper, but as an adult, I know him best because of a little movie he made with Martin Short called Clifford. It's somewhat an embarrassing thing to admit, because it was widely regarded in its day as one...

I'm a huge movie buff, and I watch all kinds of movies, of all different genres, and countless movies have made a big impression on me, but these are the movies that have had the most impact on my life. As I said, I watch all kinds of movies, so this list is really diverse, and will probably...

The "Italian Street Song" was the one I remember the most from when I was little because at one point we had it on video. But it did seem that he was on in various other sketches every time I turned on the TV to watch the show live. I'd've totally been without Sesame Street in my formative...

I am truly stunned by how expansive the episode guide is now! I was away from the fandom for a long time, and was so pleasantly surprised when I came back to find such great records of the show's run, it brought back so many memories to go through the guides for the years I watched it the most...

He also released two different lines of VHS releases from his show, one when the show was between homes in 1985 and another when it went off PBS in 1992. I too am troubled by his attitudes, but if he were alive today I wonder if he'd reconsider this because those video releases are the source...

Until a couple months ago, the theme song from the movie Sitting Ducks was stuck in my head....it's a very catchy, very simple little folkish ditty, but it was maddening not only because it was so catchy, but because I couldn't figure out the chord progression until last week, no matter how hard...

Captain Kangaroo aired on PBS from 1986 to 1992, and those shows were re-cuts and mash-ups of the 70s and early 80s episodes, with occasional new segments mixed in. That was when my sister and I watched it, we were probably the last generation to grow up with the Captain. The show wasn't quite...

Hello, Once upon a time I was very active in the tape trading scene (back when people traded videos on TAPE! Remember those days?!), but haven't traded anything in at least 10 years. Over the years I found most of what I was looking for, but there were a few stubborn things I never did find...

Without a DOUBT, the performances of "The Rainbow Connection" in both "The Muppet Movie" and "The Muppets". I'm tearing up before the first verse is over, and by the time they get to "I've heard it too many times to ignore it, it's something that I'm supposed to be...." (my favorite line) I'm...

The funniest Sesame sketch I've ever seen, IMHO, was the two (or three?) part "Ernie has a banana in his ear" sketch. It's a basic, classic vaudeville routine (as were some of the best Ernie and Bert sketches), but when you add puppets to it, and have as talented puppeteers as Jim and Frank...

I'm almost certain this question has been asked on these boards before, but not on the last few pages of this particular forum, so I feel free to ask-of all the Sesame Street videos released since 1986, which ones do you own, and on what formats? Here's mine: On VHS: Bedtime Stories and...

BTW, I have this episode on tape, but it is a bad copy that gets more worn out every time I play it. This is a long shot I'm sure, but if anyone out there on this board has a decent copy of it (doesn't have to be perfect, but almost any copy would be better than my current one), I was wondering...

It is the right one, thanks! I'm very familiar with the video, but I always love seeing it! So thanks for posting it, even though I've seen it! I never tire of it....it is my all-time favorite episode of Sesame Street!

My favorite inside the restaurant is Alphabet Soup ("SEE? You can't always be right!" LOL), but my favorite one outside of the restaurant is the one where Grover is a wig salesman.....or maybe the taxi driver one....or the movie theater....come to think of it, I think I like the ones outside the...

I never cease to marvel at what's on the internet! Thanks!

I was browsing Muppet Wiki and to my surprise found a short page for this song, including who wrote it and when. I LOVED this song, but have only heard it in the context of episode 2107, never anywhere else, as far as I know it is somewhat (or more than somewhat) rare and obscure....I'm curious...

Thank you! Best of luck to you too!

There is no way you or anyone is alone with these issues. I've struggled with depression in various forms since I was 7 years old, which is the year I became suicidal, really and truly, for the first time (but hardly the last). And after that, because child psychiatry was so primitive at the...

Does anyone else kinda feel like it's impossible for us to even judge whether or not the show should continue at its present rate? I mean, I personally loved the show in the 90's, whereas a lot of you would say it started going downhill in the 90's. The point is, the show today is being created...

Hello! I've been a big fan of the Muppets for as long as I can remember! To this day I'm terribly moved by "The Rainbow Connection" (Kermit's performance of it in either "The Muppet Movie" or "The Muppets" sends chills up my spine!), and never tire of any of the works of Jim Henson. I'm almost...
