Mike, it's not just about the myth of Ernie and Bert being gay. You complain about something different every day and look like you just want an excuse to get angry. Recently, you attacked someone for absolutely no reason and you seem to have a way of constantly taking offense without cause...

And all this time I thought "C" was for COWABUNGA. That was good enough for me. :crazy:

:rolleyes:

True, but that was a permanent change for the better. Unlike Violet's being blue or Mike being a tall and skinny charactiture. I can't see how either one of those things would be a positive change. And why wasn't the greedy boy changed at all? I found it interesting how unequally distributed...

SPOILER ALERT FOR NEW MOVIE: nother curious aspect of this film is the fate of the four "bad" children at the end. Violent and Mike seemed like they might have been permanently changed, but the other two looked like they'd be back to normal after a good bath. Was watching...

I saw the new version and I liked it well enough, but the original was definitely the better of the two. One major difference was that the new version was not as much of a musical. Sure, they had the Oompa Lompas doing the musical numbers after each lesson, but the original had music...

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN ORIGINAL WILDER MOVIE: Actually, Slugworth did NOT appear in the Gene Wilder movie. It was just one of Wonka's employees pretending to be Slugworth. The only thing that wasn't clear was whether a competitor named Slugworth really existed...

Especially if you were a child and saw him on both of them. I'd see him on the soap opera as the adults were watching it and I just couldn't believe he was a bad guy.

Someone also thought that it was strange that a large hard back book had pages that you were supposed to cut out and make a flip book out of as if it was a Sesame Street magazine.

Yes, he played an abusive pimp named Tyrone. It was strange that he was playing a part like that and Gordon at the same time. And it's true, outright villains like his character don't last very long on soaps; they're either killed or arrested. I think he made the right choice.

I see you're back to your old job as self-appointed moderator.

I thought he said "some brother" too and I've wondered about it as well. "Oh, brother" would have certainly fit better, but it didn't sound that way to me. Maybe it sounded like something it wasn't because Bert was supposed to have a cold and sounded congested. :p :(

While there may be some muppets whose ages are basically established (such as Elmo clearly being a child and Sherlock Hemlock clearly being an adult), I think that most of the well known muppets are combinations of child and adult and can go in and out of the roles as needed. Although the...

This was a great book from 1974 with illustrated Sesame Street stories for every letter of the alphabet. Some stories were longer than others. Some of these illustrated stories may have been reprinted in the Sesame Street Treasury, mentioned in another thread. I don't know if any of the...

That sounds like the one where Sherlock Hemlock sees gift wrapping, a piece of cake with a candle in it, and various other party items in a yard, Sherlock deduces that the Twiddle Bugs were having some kind of meeting and then a monster came and frightened them away, threw a candle at them...

That was the character's exact name in a 1970's Sesame Street paper finger puppet set.

With Ernie and Bert, there were definitely some deliberate changes, such as Bert's nose going from a long oval shape that went past his mouth to a short nose that was practically as round as Ernie's. Herry's nose changed a lot too, going from blue and furry to blue and smooth to purple and...

My favorite letter segment was where The Count got bags of letters from the mailman so he could count them.

It's interesting that the animated cameo of Big Bird had an orange beak instead of a yellow one.

I know. I've often wondered why they felt it was necessary to change the muppets' looks so often. Granted, eventually, the material would wear out and need to be replaced, but they always changed their looks too. Ernie and Bert have gone through numerous changes throughout the years; the...
