Thanks guys, all fascinating points! :) Sort of along the same lines, I recall an old commercial about young girls ending up in bad relationships all because "they believed in fairy tales." In other words, they stay in relationships with jerks because they've seen fictional stories that talk...

I've been reading a lot on this topic lately and wanted to see if anyone had any opinions. In fictional storytelling, you often see the plot device of a villain being redeemed in the end, in other words learning his/her lesson and becoming a good guy. Darth Vader is probably one of the most well...

Oh I know it's just that there's been too many occasions where the management has change privacy settings without telling anyone. Plus any system have a glitch and break down.

It does break my heart to see how vulnerable these Soap Operas have become; they've always had such a powerful following on network TV. They're some of the oldest programs still running. Perhaps it was inevitable, I mean the popular characters have gotten older, left the show (or kicked off)...

Yeah it's just one of quirks people have with names; they don't hear it right or they're used to hearing it one way. When I think about it I rarely hear my friends or even my co-workers' last names mentioned out loud. So I guess it's understandable, hehe.

I would like to be on Facebook and connect with people I haven't seen for awhile. But the whole privacy issue makes me nervous; they've been in the news way too many times. There's just too many bad things that can happen through the Web and people are getting very careless. And btw there are...

Yeah definitely, well that's probably comes down to availability too, especially for an older show. I was definitely spoiled by more recent projects like, say, The Lord of the Rings DVDs which had access to so much and stuck in EVERYTHING, lol. Btw you mentioned about the quality of Henson's...

Yeah it was a rare treat when a VHS had bonus features back in the day, lol. I remember my copy of The Wizard of Oz had some behind the scenes clips for the 50th anniversary. I'm glad I still have that, it's sort of a fossil now, lol. And you're right, the nice thing is that nowadays...

Yeah he was so cute. I always wondered if the father had to say at some point "OK, we need to buy something or they'll kick us out!" Lol Another nice about these documentaries is that my Mother would watch them with me and she would recognize Frank Oz and explain to me that he and Jim were...

I was actually surprised to see it at my Borders the other day (though pleased of course, hehe). I literally grew up watching this documentary, as a very young child. I actually think it's what got me so interested in Behind-the-Scenes footage in the first place (along with some of the...

Lol, funny thing happened to me today. I tried using Pandora Radio for the first time, and tried typing in Muppets. But unfortunately "Muppets" was attached to "Disney" so I didn't exactly get what I was looking for. So then I tried typing in "Jim Henson." And would you believe it, the very...

Weeeeelll....in defense of The Lion King cartoon, I did enjoy the soundtrack, definitely gorgeous (makes sense of course, Elton John!).

Well the Brady Bunch had a ton of spin offs too, doesn't mean they were any good, hehe. But yes I'm glad the cartoon was successful enough to warrant a much better Broadway musical. ;)

Believe me I'm the least judgmental person, my friends say I'm no fun at gossip sessions, lol. But when it comes to violent oppression of human rights, I will judge all day long. I understand that the religion itself doesn't preach these things and I understand that there are Muslims who protest...

If we're putting our two cents in about Lion King, I was never impressed with the cartoon. Didn't care about the characters, it was only slightly less pretentious than Pocahontas, IMO. However I found the Broadway musical version of Lion King absolutely breath taking and much more emotional...

Oh I'm sure it is. It's just that we were a very small group, the same people every year, if you didn't get along with them there wasn't anyone else. I didn't hide what I liked and I was always an outcast, lol.

Yeah it sounds like if anything, they're headed towards the winter!

It's confusing. I often see Dunkin Donuts by itself. But like I said, I never see a Baskin-Robbins without a Dunkin Donuts, lol. Ohhhh ok, cool. Actually I was just getting ready to write a Blog entry on old TV commercials about regional deparement stores, lol.

If I do see a Baskin-Robbins it's usually in the same building as a Dunkin Donuts, I guess they had a merger at some point? What exactly is Goody's? Lol, sorry I guess it's a regional thing.

Well my school was particularly infamous for its cliques and bullying, it was not a friendly place for individual points of view, even among the teachers, hehe.
