    All the while bemoaning about how poor they were, how Pa had nothing to leave them because the snake oil business was a bust, how they've had to hawk almost everything they had, how their Christmases can't be merrier, on and on and on and on and on for the first several minutes of the special...

    Unpopular Opinions

    Yesterday was the first time I saw Emmet Otter in its entirety since I was a kid. When I saw it as a kid, I hated it . . . I thought it was very depressing, and not at all Muppety (as in zany, wacky, and off-beat with underlying melancholy). Seeing it again as an adult . . . well, I don't hate...

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    Chromakey's not as easy as it seems - especially if you don't have even/adequate lighting. It's also hard when you have different characters that are blue or green, or have both colors in their palette, and you have to keep switching between a green screen, a blue screen, or some other color.

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    The guy is getting a lot of positive comments on this, so I guess that really speaks to people's humanity. I mean, I guess I'd give him A for effort.

    Emmet Otter and Bells of Fraggle Rock coming to the big screen this Christmas

    Yeah, there's at least a couple of narration bits, but those were omitted, which I find odd, considering they put his on-screen appearances back in.

    Emmet Otter and Bells of Fraggle Rock coming to the big screen this Christmas

    I'm just glad they didn't crop either of the specials into widescreen like they would on cable TV now. And interestingly, even though Kermit's book-end appearances were included in Emmet Otter, the rest of his off-screen narration was omitted.

    Zooey Deschanel's from California, but I swear she's got a slight southern drawl in the way she talks and sings.

    I both saw and heard something really weird today: I saw an anti-Trump 2019 calendar at BAM . . . and yes, I got it! It even comes with all kinds of crazy stickers you can plaster over his face for each month! :P I heard Dean Martin's version of "Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!" but...

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4905 - Elmo's Factory

    This entire episode felt a little reminiscent of older seasons. The street story had quite an ensemble of different Muppets - seeing how Herry is back in action keeps reminding me I need to find a Herry figure for my SS diorama (how come he and Rosita are so rare from that 90s Tyco figurine...

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    I thought concert movies stopped being a trend years ago.

    What made you roll your eyes today thread?

    Just to avoid aggrivating @ConsummateVs, I'll only say the fact that evidently a certain vapid pop starlet is getting a movie. But, at least it's apparently only going to be a straight-to-Netflix movie, so it's not like it'll be some kind of mainstream, theatrical movie anyway.

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    Because we are MC, which is CM backwards.

    Are the Muppets as popular as they were 30 to 40 years ago?

    I would also point out that my taste in music continued to broaden and develop beyond my teen years. Or, at the very least, I listened to certain genres more and more as I got older than I did when I was younger.

    So YouTube just introduced probably one of the most useless new features they've ever made: the "Library" tab. Basically, it's nothing more than a brief summary of your playlists such as History, Watch Later, Favorites, Created Playlists, and such. That's all. It's almost like a copy of your...
