    See, this is another reason why streaming isn't all it's cracked up to be: you need an internet connection to use the services.

    I Ain't Doing It!

    There's not much to vent about in November, considering there's only a week difference. But at least this year, while I'm still not springing forward until April, DST is later than usual, so the difference in time will only be like three weeks instead of an entire month.

    Little things we've noticed

    Depending on the kind of AM Frank would perform, he seemed to love doing that Kermit face scrunch thing with them.

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Dude, it took years for some of the mosquito bites on my legs to completely heal! But, see, this is also one of the reasons why I try to avoid going outside as much as possible during the summer, because it's like every kind of vermin you can imagine is just waiting to attack you, whether it's...

    None Like it Hot: The "I Hate the Heat" Club

    Yeah, we're already looking at more 70s later this week, which . . . isn't unusual for this time of year, but it still feels too early, and I'm just not ready for it yet . . . fall and winter felt like they flew by :smirk: But for all intents and purposes, yeah, it's spring already. Wild...

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    I hate those so much. I've been dealing with a recurring one on my right big toe since like Christmas or so - it's gotten so bad that it's been bleeding and festering for weeks. I've finally tried putting some medicated ointment on it, and that seems to finally be helping it settle down a little.

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I mean, Jerry's got a point, and in fact, this is one of the reasons why I was a trifle disappointed with 50 Years and Counting compilation. For my personal collection/library, yeah, I appreciate having it, but the clips placed on the set are almost like watching 240p or 360p YouTube videos on a...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    I don't know either, but it was the same way with a lot of Sid & Marty Kroffts' shows: there would always be puppeteers inside the suits performing the characters physically, but they would also bring in voice actors to add in the dialogue and such afterwards.

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    Yeah, in the case of the specials, I do believe there was some contractual obligation regarding Canadian talent being brought in to dub some of the voices.

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    It was kind of similar for Fran as well: she initially tried joining the Muppets to do voices, but Jim insisted if you're going to do voices, you needed to actually physically perform the puppets as well, which she had never done before. But then there's the case of Marilyn Sokol: she couldn't...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    I think the concept of a "Core Six/Seven" cast is that these six/seven specific Muppet characters are the ones mostly likely to be featured in any of the street stories during a season, not that all six/seven of them will be featured in every street story of a season. But even so, corporate...

    The New Am I The Only One Thread

    On a different subject, am I the only one who thinks food and drinks should just be completely free? No, it's not because I'm some lazy liberal who wants everything free, but I mean George Costanza actually brought up this point one time: you're essentially just flushing your money down the...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    Right. This is the exact reason why when they were recasting Frank's characters, they opted to have different performers for Grover and Cookie Monster to make using both characters in the same scene easier for everybody, because otherwise, three different performers would have to perform Frank's...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Funny thing is, the first three seasons are the only "long" seasons the show had . . . I know Season 1 had 30 episodes, I think both Seasons 2 and 3 had 15, then from Season 4 onward they were 10 for the longest time.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    I think there were talks of doing other occasional specials like they've been doing recently, but I wouldn't swear to it.
