    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    D.W., I didn't know you were a big OLTL fan. I've gone to several events now with my mom who's a die-hard as well and met some of the actors. Catherine Hickland actually knows my mom at least by face from them having seen each other so often over the past few years lol She's very sweet though...

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    Yeah aside from the soaps, all they awarded was the talk shows, the judge shows and the game shows. And let's be honest, aside from the people who work on these shows, does anyone really care if Price is Right gets another Emmy? That segment was kind of a Vegas commercial but not as much as...

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    No travelogue wasn't a category. They were giving a tour about the Hilton Hotel that the ceremony was held in for some reason to waste time I guess. They showed quick glimpses of the other hotels on the Las Vegas strip including the Luxor which I stayed in this past November and will never go to...

    Sesame and this year's Emmys

    I wasted two hours on the Daytime Emmys show this year thinking as usual they would show the children's categories or have someone from Sesame show up whether it was a Muppet or a puppeteer or one of the writers. Yep, absolutely NOTHING on these categories. And even the award show overall...

    Jim to Future Generations?

    The sad part is, it's not even the younger generations either. There's alot of either clueless people out there, or people who just don't care enough or for whatever reason or another have not been touched by Jim's work. I went on a job interview back in 2001, with a PUBLISHING company and had...

    Does anybody like these old books?

    I LOVE the Mr. Men and Little Miss books, I had a bunch of them as a kid. I always thought the illustrations were great. Sweet Pickles I remember my cousin had an old computer game for like Commodore 64 or something with the Sweet Pickles characters and I remember the T.V. commercials that...

    Decline of entertainment?

    Yeah it is odd they've picked Marmaduke as the next "thing" to expose to this generation of kids. I guess they figured they milked the Scooby-Doo franchise long enough between the two current films and the many straight to home video titles. I haven't checked out the Chipmunks movie only...

    New Muppet Movie opens Christmas Day 2011

    Dr. Tooth: I'm with you, right on. I HATE the winter, and I hate the crowds around the holidays (and living in NY we have some of the worst and busiest areas) I understand they probably picked this date so families and children can go, but still. The only time I remember going to the movies...

    New Muppet Movie opens Christmas Day 2011

    Very cool there's an official date set up, but I gotta be honest, I may wait a week later to see this in theaters. I made the mistake of going to the movies over the holiday weekend this past year to see "Avatar" (which in my opinion was a mistake within itself lol) and it was a complete zoo at...

    Your Thoughts: Frank Oz on Today

    I watched this as well. It was a nice little appearance and I thought it was very touching how Frank kept mentioning he was there for Jim and the rest of the guys who have passed on.

    Decline of entertainment?

    You know I'm a HUGE animal lover but boy do I hate movies about them overall. Especially CGI/special effects embedded ones. Although I thought the first Garfield feature was kinda cute even though I cringed when I heard they were making a Garfield full length feature AND a CGI Garfield to boot...

    Interview with Frank Oz.

    Frank from every interview I've seen and/or read with him, if he's not cursing, he's speaking very honestly and candidly and that's one of the things I really, really enjoy about him. He doesn't hold back and I'm sure when he's directing on a film set he's the same way. I have heard in the past...

    Follow That Bird 25 years old on August 2

    Wow, 25. I remember seeing it in theaters. I was 8 years old when it came out and my sister was about 3. Still one of my favorite Muppet and definitely one of my favorite Sesame projects to this day.

    Looking for Genius packaging SST DVD's

    Hi, Yvonne, Genius Home Video no longer has the rights to distribute the Sesame Street material, so all the retailers have probably stopped selling those titles with the packaging you're looking for. I would maybe try dealer sites like Ebay and IOffer.com or maybe another collector on here...

    Stuffed & Unstrung! (Puppet Up in New York!)

    Hey, Jesse, Yeah I meant I wasn't sure which puppeteer was performing the Helen Keller puppet and which one the James Bond character. I don't think my sister's friends are as hard core or was really familiar with the other puppeteers other than Brian Henson.

    Your Thoughts: Frank Oz on Today

    I set up to record this today. Looking forward to checking it out when I go home tonight. Phillip, since this thread branched off from the other one, yes I was wondering if June 8th was chosen for any specific reason to have Frank on.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I'm a big Peanuts fan as well. I was THRILLED they recently released "It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown" as a bonus on the "Snoopy's Reunion" DVD. I had Flashbeagle on tape as a kid and always loved the music, the animation, etc. and am so excited to own it again, even if it wasn't one of the...

    R.I.P Gary Coleman

    I met Gary briefly at the NY Comic Con a few years back when he was a guest there, and while he definitely had that gruff exterior he was known for, overall he was nice, though very business like. He wouldn't personalize autographs, but he would sign stuff and you could take a picture with him...

    Stuffed & Unstrung! (Puppet Up in New York!)

    My sister's friend was at one of the performances this weekend and they picked out one of his ideas for one of the improv skits. Apparently it was a scene with a James Bond type character and the audience had to pick out someone he was going to fight with. My sister's friend with his dark...
