    People You Wish Were Guests on the Street

    Yes, that is true- I forgot about that. It would've been nice to see him back in the '70s and early '80s in character as Superman though. But yes- he was on Sesame Street as himself and that's way cool. (In a neat alphabet segment with Ernie:p if I recall correctly). Has Patrick Stewart been...

    "The Rainbow Connection"?

    Hmm- I've seen some of these floating around- I guess eventually someone would do some Muppet songs. I didn't think it was quite laugh out loud funny, but amusing nonetheless.:)

    Music video parodies you wish Sesame could have done

    Well, that's true. I kinda figured it would be one of those things where the parents would get the reference and they could still teach kids things from the books through the rest of the lyrics. For instance, My Antonia could teach kids a bit of history about the pioneer days in America...

    Muppets on "Disney's Haunted Holidays" page

    Awesome! It was great seeing some Muppet monster action going on! And Statler and Waldorf, the penguins and chickens and Bunsen and Beaker are always great to see too. I loved the F14 button- and the Caps Lock button. Ha ha.:crazy::confused::eek:

    You refer to all the old guys who sit in the balcony at any public event as Statler and Waldorf.:boo::sleep:

    You cast the Muppets...

    Sorry- just had to point this out. Are you sure you didn't mean Fozzie as Linus and Piggy as Lucy? LOL!:p Hmm- I don't know as much about this one (haven't really read the comic or seen the movie- won't bother with the movie, but may try to read the comic sometime- Time Magazine actually...

    Music video parodies you wish Sesame could have done

    How about some literary parodies? Muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh-muh My Antonia! (Willa Cather's) My Antonia! ["My Sharona" by The Knack] Burn, baby, burn- Dante's Inferno! ["Disco Inferno" by The Trammps] Lord of the Rings (ala "Lord of the Dance" by Michael Flatley) :zany::sing::D

    People You Wish Were Guests on the Street

    Hmm- there's a number of folks I wouldn't mind seeing on Sesame Street... Would've been cool to see C.S. Lewis for one- but he died back on November 22, 1963 (same day as Aldous Huxley and John F. Kennedy, incidentally) [Though it'd still be neat to see a sketch inspired by The Chronicles of...

    how come Rowlf wasn't on Sesame Street?

    There's also a much later episode of Sesame Street, somewhere from the mid-to-late '90s I think, that makes a mention of Rowlf as a piano-playing dog that Bob knows. I thought that was really cool. And speaking of characters from The Muppet Show being on Sesame Street, I still would love to...

    Season 40 Guest Stars

    I do believe I've heard of that song by The Oak Ridge Boys- "Thank God for Kids"- it's a nice song. I see no reason why they couldn't sing that on Sesame Street. After all, Fozzie Bear sang "America the Beautiful" (including the line- "God shed His grace on thee") in "The Muppet Movie". And in...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock Complete Series Collection

    That would be great- donate the Fraggle Rock DVD sets to your local library- so us poor people that can't afford to buy them all can get them from the library.:D:coy::wisdom:

    Little Muppet Monsters is on Youtube

    WOW! This is so cool!:crazy: The most I'd seen of Little Muppet Monsters previously was the intro, so it's really AWESOME to finally see the first episode! It'd be great if this (and Muppet Babies, for that matter) ever got released on DVD. It seems like it'd be great to have the whole thing...

    Easter Banner Menu

    Regarding the use of the name Easter for the day of Jesus' Resurrection from the dead- (pulled this from http://www.religioustolerance.org/easter1.htm - a site about religions but not necessarily aligned with any particular one- so it's fairly unbiased) An alternative explanation has been...

    Easter Banner Menu

    It's a cute Easter banner-the Muppet Babies are always cute- But I'd love to see a cross in the background with the empty tomb next to it to reflect the real meaning of Easter- the redemption of the world through Jesus' death and resurrection.:)

    Sesame Street episode 2614

    Wow! That was great! I remember these episodes (about Gabi's birth) back from when they first aired in 1989! That was so cool watching this one again. And as always, there were lots of great segments on there that I had forgotten about, but remembered instantly with fondness as soon as I saw...

    When was Sonny Friendly's First Appearance?

    I'm pretty positive that was Sonny Friendly. The only sketch I remember Pat Playjacks (and Vanna Blank) in was the "Squeal of Fortune" sketch with The Count and Prairie Dawn- I remember seeing that one quite a few times as a kid and loving it!:super: :)
