I remember that, but that was kind of different from the actual muppet caricatures that they did of guests in the first two episodes. Wouldn't it have been cool to see a detailed muppet of Edgar Bergen, carrying a smaller detailed muppet of Charlie McCarthy or Mortimer Snerd? Also, on the...

I've seen it mentioned on here and the Muppet DVD that the short lived "tradition" of brining a muppet-likeness of the human guest star at the end of the show was only done in the first two produced episodes. However, I don't recall reading an explanation as to why they stopped doing it. Some...

What I really get confused about is the actual order that they were shown in. The Muppet facts say that in most area, the Rita Morano episode was shown first and the Jim Nabors one second. However, in my area of New Orleans, I seem to remember the Joel Gray one airing first, followed by...

Hmmm....I thought the DVD set showed the episodes in the order they were made. I can find out by watching it with the pop-up facts that tell the dates. I know it shows the Juliet Prowse episode first, which was in fact made first and the Connie Stevens episode second, which was made next...

No, it's not weird in itself for a child to pretend something like that; I was just surprised that the writers at Sesame Workshop would have something that was so linked to the 1970's.

Thanks. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I thought about redoing it because of the backwards milk carton, but then I thought it was kind of cool to have a blooper. I might be doing some more.

I was really surprised when I first saw that a modern Sesame Street character had a pet rock. The Pet Rock was really all the rage for a brief time in the 70's, but then quickly went out of style and is viewed as something really weird today. As much as Sesame Workshop worries about staying up...

And yet, the reason that Mister Rogers' show remained virtually the same throughout its long run is because he believed that children have basically not changed. :confused:

Elmo's World is not the only change that Sesame Street has seen.

Here's a scenario I created with an old Ernie and Bert Colorform set. Just click the link below to see it. (There's also a "blooper" in my picture. Can you identify it?) http://www.angelfire.com/ab2/ablpph/sparepage.html

I just found this out from the "Muppet Morsels" (the "Pop-Up Video" of the Muppet World) on The Muppet Show DVD first season. It says, "Jim Henson's father was an agricultural researcher for the federal government. One of the crops he would research was called Bird's-foot trefoil. This...

My main focus on this board is Sesame Street because it played such a special part in my childhood, but as a child, I watched and enjoyed The Muppet Show too. Now that my friend has lent me the First Season DVD set of The Muppet Show, I'm remembering how good it was and how much I loved it. I...

True, Herbert Birdsfoot's character didn't really have a "gimmick" to define him. I suppose they could have developed his character and given him more personality, but since he was basically just there to do the same things that Kermit could do, they probably figured it wasn't worth it. Still...

Some people have said that Herbert Birdsfoot looked and sounded like Ned Flanders from the Simpsons.

I started out with something similar to the internet, called "Bulletin Board System" where you could use a computer modem to connect to local groups in your area that had forums about particular topics. It was mostly all text and very small scale compared to the internet, but it was interesting...

This one started with Oscar telling Farley that he has to practice saying "No" to his nephew because he always gives him whatever he wants. Oscar says that he doesn't want him to get spoiled and not grow up to be a grouch. Farley says, "I think I understand..." Oscar then asks Farley to help...

Oh yeah, I've been watching the Classic 39 episodes since I was a child. I discovered the Lost Episodes later; they're typically not as good as the Classic 39, but there are some that I found to be particularly funny, like the one where Ralph becomes Norton's landlord, Ralph mistakenly thinks...

I never thought of the Honeymooners as an obscure sitcom. Now, if the reference had been to My Mother, The Car... :)

Yes, that was the hilarious "Brother Ralph" episode. Ralph: "You must be a riot around that water cooler!

Well, at my job (pre-Katrina), they usually said to me, "The water cooler is empty; would you please put another one on there?" It was always my job to lift up a new bottle because I was the only male there. :)
