    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Well, that was, unfortunately, intentional: they were in desperate need of a female Muppet character to achieve Elmo's level of star power to bring in more little girls to watch, as well as give little girls watching a character they could relate to . . . they tried it before with other female...

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    There's this old lady . . . she collects moose poop . . . she makes arts and crafts out of them . . . she sells them . . . and she's getting her own reality show. Let that sink in for a moment.

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    Just as I figured, our summer Fanboy Expo has been post-poned till the end of August . . . even so, I'm still going to hold off purchasing a ticket for the time being, because the future is still so uncertain. I mean, as much as I'd love to meet Jamie Farr, Loretta Swit, LeVar Burton, Jess...

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Ironically, these shows and others have been criticized for copying SS, mainly for the fact that they all speak directly to the audience, as SS does.

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    Another positive case in my town, this time an employee from a Target store that's literally just a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live.

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    It was her comment I found funny. "Liberals won't believe this science!" Really? Since when do you conservatives believe science? :p

    At the same time, Ann Coulter was slipped into my feed this morning as well, and @LittleJerry92, I think you'll get a chuckle from this:

    I don't hardly ever use Twitter, and I didn't even really have it that long before he got into Office anyway.

    I blocked Trump on Twitter.

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Dora (and similar shows) actually affected much of the show today: for one thing, Sesame Workshop had a turn-over in staff recently, with some people coming from Viacom, which always took a far more corporate approach in handling things, which is what's been going on SS in recent years (one of...

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5022 - The Disappoint-O-Meter

    But, I mean, let's be honest: Caroll's voice was incredibly weak during his final years, and even so, his Big Bird and Oscar voices were sounding exactly alike in the end. Even when I met him at the Knoxville Fanboy Expo back in 2017, speaking with him at his table was not unlike on SEINFELD...

    Or any network shows, for that matter, aside from perhaps daytime soaps and primetime dramas.

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    They're still talking about taking such measures around here, since our county has the highest number of confirmed cases in our portion of the state, but residents aren't taking the stay-at-home order very seriously at all. Sure, non-essential business have been closed for a couple of weeks, and...

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    I didn't mind the format change of Season 33 at all, in fact, I kind of liked the "structure" it gave the show, though I won't deny that having those couple of "experimental" episodes from Season 38 that reverted back to the magazine format, since those particular street stories were meant to be...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus News and Updates

    I get there's some dodo brains out there who believe this is all just a big hoax and crap, but honestly, some people are acting like social distancing and staying at home is some kind of form of civil rights oppression or something.

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    I'm kind of inclined to agree with the sentiments of people like Frank Oz, Joey Mazzarino, and such. From Frank's perspective (and even others like Caroll Spinney, Ken Diego, and the like), one of the things that made SS so special back in the day was the camaradery among the cast and crew -...
