    The Classic Electric Company Memories Thread

    I believe it showed up on Sesame Street first. But some of the musical cues from Sesame ended up on TEC as well. With Joe Raposo contributing to both CTW productions, there is some crossovers here and there. I always liked the skit of Morgan Freeman sitting in a tub (or is it a tube?), and at...

    I know, and I can find peace in knowing she's in a better place. It's still hard saying goodbye.

    Denise passed away just after midnight.The only thing that makes me glad is she's not suffering anymore. I will miss her though.

    Dang. I knew she had the stroke last year, and I know they're hard to recover from.And when you get pulled off life support, it's only a matter of time. Back during her one season on the Electric Company, 4 year old me had the biggest crush on her. She appeared at a number of conventions, but...

    This week our church has Vacation Bible School. My wife has the kids doing arts and crafts, NFL I help out. Today we were tracing their hands on cardboard and one kid said, "You're OLD!!!" I asked how old you think I am? Without missing a beat, he yelled "SIX HUNDRED!!!" Close enough.

    MAD Magazine to cease publication

    MAD also inspired a few knockoff s like CRACKED and CRAZY, but MAD was still the real deal.

    MAD Magazine to cease publication

    I loved MAD when I was younger. Besides topical humor, I loved the little visual gags found in the margins. These were the handiwork of my favorite MAD artist, Sergio Aragones. Then there was Spy vs. Spy.These panels were great. You didn't need dialogue or bow to the vagaries of the time to be...

    The new What Made You Smile Today thread

    I doubt Oliver Stone will make a movie out of my days fighting Viet Cong in the rice paddies, but having a stroke was scary stuff. Painful stuff. The medical roller coaster I've been on, I wouldn't want anybody to live with what I do. But I still have a reason to get up in the morning, I still...

    No, it wasfull blown. I was bleeding out of my brain, and that gave me the worst headaches I ever had. It hurt so bad I couldn't see. When I woke up in the hospital, all I could see was shadows. My biggest fear was I was going blind. A few days later I got my sight back, but for a while I was...

    July 5, 1989 I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Normal blood sugar range is between 80 and 120. I was over1,000. I should've been dead. 30 years of living with this disease, one coma, one stroke,and a botched suicide attempt, I'm still here. And I'm still smiling. God is good.

    RIP Arte Johnson

    Arte was great on Laugh-In. His German spy character "Veddy Interesting!" showed up in the early days of Sesame Street. Ruth Buzzi would join in several decades later. With everything going on in 1968- Vietnam, racial tensions, violence, etc. we needed to laugh. Arte and company did just fine.

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    Stumbled on an episode of South Park I never saw. Must be ten years old or more. Great spoof on Jersey Shore. Kyle was actually conceived in Newark. It's a Jersey thing! Not everybody from here has red hair and orange skin, but still made me laugh my a$$ off.
