I tend to think of stop motion animation along the same lines as silent and black and white movies. It's a lost art form that's difficult to justify doing today in the wake of advanced technology, but the world of entertainment is clearly missing something without it. There was really...

I wonder why they don't just let Carroll Spinney do Big Bird's voice while Matt Vogel wears the costume. :confused:

I love that hilarious skit. It was a good switch from the typical "Cookie eats Ernie's things and makes him mad" scenario. In this one, Ernie doesn't care if he eats something, Cookie for once is unsure if he wants to eat something, and it's his indecision that drives Ernie crazy. Very well...

There's also a lesser known street skit where Harvey Kneeslapper puts confetti in Molly The Mail Lady's hat when she's not looking. Molly is sitting at a table in the playground (and eating I think). Harvey keeps asking her to put her hat on, but she says not now. He shows so much interest in...

They are great. Here are some threads I started about them on the General Discussion Board: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=23676 http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=23797

While I'm on the subject of unknown facts about Christmas, I though I'd include the misunderstanding about "Xmas". Contrary to popular belief, the Xmas spelling is not a modern PC way of making the holiday secular, sacrilegious, or disrespectful in any way to its true meaning. The use of Xmas...

Is Christmas really over? Originally, the Christmas Season was believed to be December 25 through January 6th (Three Kings Day), hence the twelve days of Christmas. This goes back to the origins of Christianity and the Church. But, in our culture, religious or secular, the Christmas season...

Yeah, if they really wanted to have muppets of the same performer interact, they would have either dubbed or changed muppet performers. The Muppet Show changed Miss Piggy's performer sometimes to fit the skits with other characters. I think they just never believed that Lefty would have worked...

So what?

How to make a puppet stand? If it's a patriotic puppet, just start singing the Star Spangled Banner. :attitude: Sorry about that. ;)

The thread about the muppet Father and Son skit reminded me of another old muppet skit with similar looking (if not the same) muppets. A little boy is lost and looking for a policeman. The policeman he finds is his "Uncle Louie". He doesn't believe it's his uncle because of the uniform, so he...

No, I remember it too, but with fewer details than you. All I recalled was that they went for a walk in the woods.

As a kid, I interpreted that skit a little differently. I thought the elephants were literally outlined in white when they were shown to Ernie, and therefore were no longer hidden in the picture. The picture would then be a one-time trick that would never work again for anyone. I'm not sure...

Not exactly, but when I was watching an old Our Gang short subject on TV as a kid, my Dad said that the neighborhood bullies were like the "Tough Eddies" of the story. I also remember Tough Eddie in a long forgotten street storyline where Oscar was afraid of him. I don't remember anymore...

I don't like the whole idea of such a show nor any other reality or tabloid shows. No matter how much it may seem that the nannies are helping these families, there is inevitably something exploitive about it. Parents and children are being put on display as a type of freak show and serious...

Although Little Bird was performed by a female muppeteer and many people think of the character as a girl, on at least one record album, Little Bird is referred to as "he" and "him".

I stumbled upon an old thread about Punch and Judy on MC and found it very interesting. Since it was from 2003, I thought it would be better to start a new one than reply to it. There was a lot of talk about how violent the Punch and Judy plays usually are, but it's also significant to note...

Thanks, Pino. Glad you liked it. Actually, the "Green Dad" that I used was meant to be Bob, but if he's seen as Luis, that's cool too. There is an illustrated picture of Luis on the Fix-It-Shop as well. I've sometimes wondered how they decided which humans would be used and which wouldn't...
