    Loretta Lynn episode

    Another unusual, but favorite MS episode of mine that had Loretta Lynn as the guest star. In this episode, their theater was being fumigated so they had to do the show somewhere else. And Gonzo arranged for the show to be at a train station. The show had a totally different opening with the...

    Besides the Fraggles and Doozers, what other cave creatures do you think are neat. My favorites are.... Those singing clams found stuck on rocks. The fuzzy stick creatures that pop out of tube shaped rocks. Those little gray frogs that are ususally seen dancing around. Mudwell the...

    The Lives of Waldorf and Statler

    I was thinking about the long lives Waldorf and Statler lived and how they talked about little bits of their pasts in certain episodes. WALDORF'S LIFE: Waldorf said he was once on the Titanic. And in one episode, Statler told Waldorf he'd better get out his old army uniform, so Waldorf...

    Animal is getting passed around

    I've noticed when Frank Oz retired from the Muppets, Animal kept going from Muppeteer to Muppeteer. Fisrt to Kevin Clash, then Eric Jacobson, then John Kennedy, then Bill Barretta, and now back to Eric. I wonder if Animal will ever get a permanent Muppeteer soon.

    Bacon forbidden on SS?

    I've noticed on Sesame Street these days, they don't ever show or mention the food bacon. Sure, in the early episodes, they had Cookie Monster eat all of Bert's bacon and Ernie's letter X to go with it. And Fat Blue ordering strips of bacon at Charlie's. But now when they do breakfast...

    Frank Welker as Kermit

    A lot of people have been comparing Jim Henson's and Steve Whitmire's Kermit voice. But I'd like to point out that famous voice artist Frank Welker had voiced the cartoon Baby Kermit. And he got Kermit's personality pretty good too.

    Nancy the Nannygoat

    Does anyone remember the cartoon, Nancy the Nannygoat? It was from the same animators who made Wanda the Witch and kind of the same storyline. Only Nancy lived North of Nantucket while Wanda lived West of Washington. And Nancy had a nightingale while Wanda had a weasel. Also Nancy's...

    Listen film

    One of my favorite SS films was the one called LISTEN. It starts off with some quiet soothng noises starting with a beach wave, a doctor listening to a boy's heart, ticking clocks, a galloping horse, and a kid in bed listening to crickets. While a woman said, "Listen", a couple of times...

    Richard Hunt as a phone guy

    Didn't I see Richard Hunt playing a real live phone guy in a couple of SS episodes in the early 80's? The first time, when he came in an interrupted Maria's work to show her the new phone booth installed in the street. And another time when Richard was going to install a wall phone on Big...

    Miss Piggy's Karate

    Where do you suppose Miss. Piggy learned her karate moves from? I'm thinking that she had a wise teacher who taught her the martial arts before she met Kermit. And I also wonder how this teacher would feel hearing how Piggy uses her karate for negative things like bullying people and striking...
