    The Chipmunks

    Fandom's upset right now, because there's an X-rated meme that's exploded online to the point that there's even analytical videos about it on YouTube.

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I'm also noticing that suddenly thumbnails are lighter and brighter than they were before.

    September 24: Celebrating Jim Henson and Steve Whitmire

    I'll never get to meet Jim, however, I had the honor of meeting Steve last year. A really great guy, so easy to talk to him, because he's as much of a fan of the Muppets as we are, and sitting in on his Q&A panel, you could just sense his passion for his work with the Muppets.

    Looks like a browser issue. I'm not having any problems in Chrome, but I am in Firefox.

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I thought you interned for them for a while; didn't you say they figured out you were MarshalGrover, or was that something else?

    I think he interned for them for a while, but otherwise, yeah, he's got some connections.

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    He was made from foam plastic, rather than foam rubber; rather than crumble into toast as most puppets do over time, Bruno just basically fell apart, and that was that. You have to admit though, considering he was in use from the late 70s all the way into the early 90s is a testament to his...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Mickey Mouse has generally had a consistency with his design and appearance over the decades, most notably his head basically just being a large circle with two slightly smaller circles for ears. However, it seems like there was a period of time from the 40s and even up into the 80s, where his...

    Has anybody else been having trouble trying to watch videos at 60fps lately, or is it just me?

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    Obviously we have a less than appealing newer Oscar puppet, but Caroll has said years ago that Oscar was one of the only Muppets that had never been replaced with a new build, and that the puppet just always went in for repairs and patch work, since aging helped with Oscar's overall appearance...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    And, lest we forget, it was also an incredibly awkward period of time before they suddenly had major competition from Barney, which resulted in the curriculum being simplified a little, as well as the street itself receiving a major clean-up, causing it to lose its authentic urban, inner-city...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Same. As I've said before, Season 30 felt like, to me, when the show was "born again," because that ATC era is just so . . . it's almost like it was a completely different show. I will say there were some interesting episodes and moments from this era, such as Slimey to the Moon, and perhaps...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I mean, it makes sense: many Season 1 inserts recycled already-established Muppets that were used in previous Henson projects, like Beautiful Day Monster.

    That . . . wouldn't surprise me a bit.

    What happened to TBS?

    Oh yeah, that's how much I try to convey the atmosphere and asthetic of the golden age of television, both visually and audio. Heck, my most recent outing was, in a way, a nod and throwback to old Krofft shows: They lost me when they started dropping SEINFELD, hence why I bit the bullet and...
