    Looking for Mr. Noodle

    Hey, does anybody know where I can find pix of the Noodle family? My husband and kid are trick-or-treating as Mr. Noodle & Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle, and since it's a little esoteric, I'd like to attach pix of the real thing when I send the Halloween pix to our folks.

    Sesame Street censorship

    Does anybody remember the series of animated shorts (I hope this was SS and not the Electric Company) where there was a construction worker guy. He'd come up to a sign that said, say "DANGER," and sound it out slowly and incorrectly, and something would fall on him eventually. Kind of like...

    What do you miss about "new" Sesame Street?

    Another thing - Grover singing "Being Afraid" (or "Whistle A Happy Tune," or whatever it's called) from The King and I. I guess the Muppets lost the rights when that got remounted on Broadway (didn't it?) I was a real chicken as a child, and used to hum that to myself before I could actually...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Sorry that the Special Ed situation had to end this way, but unfortunately there are none so blind as those who will not see. When I was working at Border's the most frequent cases of in-store harassment were perpetrated by well-meaning folk of his ilk, in just such a manner. HIV and AIDS...

    What do you miss about "new" Sesame Street?

    There used to be some great animated shorts that aren't appearing in "Journey to Ernie" (which seems to be the repository for the shorts) I remember one about a "rolling O," and "One, two, three, one, two, three, one, two, three, tee hee hee hee!" Of course, I was three, so my memory is...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Special Ed - I am not, personally, a Christian, but I have a real problem with Christians sermonizing about someone else's behavior when the New Testament QUOTES Jesus as saying "Let he who has no sin cast the first stone." I think this is because (though, again, I'm not a Christian) as...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    Unfortunately, I think that Special Ed's post has come to the heart of the matter. It breaks my own heart that people who are trying to do the right thing can be so mislead about personal freedoms. Sesame Street has always taught tolerance of differences, a value that is central to the...

    Sesame Street to Introduce HIV-Positive Muppet

    What is the most important part of this for children to learn? I think we need to remember that the core of this issue is different with children. What's important to them isn't really how HIV IS spread, but rather how it's NOT spread. That being said, I'm hoping that Sesame Street mirrors...
