Kathy: You might want to read my above edit. :) The kid I was talking about had cerebral palsy, not SB. (EDIT: Oh, wait, you got that...) Generally, spina bifida causes paralysis of the lower body, incontinentce, learning disabilities, and, yes, hydrocephlus. A person can have it and not...

Well.... I've done a lot of work with children and young adults with severe disabilities - like TBI (brain damage), spina bifida (a physical condition in which the spinal cord does not grow properly before birth) and cerebral palsy (a form of brain damage that can affect movement and speech)...

Agreed. Another neat fact that I found out about YCDTOTV was that the burgers the kids ate in the "Barth's Burgery" segments were purchachased at a local burger place that has locations throughout Canada. I've eaten at that very restaurant (A place called Harvey's) and it wasn't very good...

It would be kinda neat to find out where the "outer space" episodes were made and have a Fraggle pilgramage to see them today. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were made in and around the city of Toronto, since that's where Fraggle Rock was produced. Filming "on location" shots local...

True. I'm just giving the "approximate" numbers that appear on the box of DVD-RWs that I had sitting on the desk at the time. This is like the "marketing" megabyte versus the "technical" megabyte issue that hard drive advertising used to have. I haven't actually started playing with the...

Producing DVDs can take a long, long time. I taped (using a prosumer Mini-DV camera) my amateur radio club's September meeting, 80 minutes' worth of video, it took almost 30 *hours* to process on my (admittedly fairly low-end by today's standards but top of the line when it was built) computer...

I don't know if they are in all the stores, but I've seen Fraggle Rock calendars for 2005 at the Newbury Comics in Manchester NH! (I almost typed 1995 there...) They're 12.99, and have very cool pictures on the back (and that's what I'm assuming are on the inside). If anyone wants one, I...

Actually, you're kinda right. Someone explained this to me once - The puppet is basically part of the bottom of the water - So, for instance, you have a bowl, a hole in the bottom, with the puppet body (a waterproof version) sealed to the bottom of the hole, so that you can reach up and...

The Fraggle Rock theme is played fairly often on the radio here, there's a kid's show on WERS 88.9 college radio station here in the Boston area that has various FR songs on it. Up here in NH, I can get it with a high-gain Yagi antenna and a 15 dB booster albiet a little staticy due to my area...

I was at the WMSC in Epping, the new one right at 101 & 125 and they had the VHS. When I get back from Las Vegas I'll stop in and see if they have the DVD. I got a friend who works there so he'll probably have one set aside for me..... :) Oh, they did have the VHS, inline with the other VHS...

What about Fridays that aren't before the weekend? -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Okay, I've got the MP3 of Around The Universe somewhere... I'll throw it up on my server and drop the URL here today when I do. -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

I'm heading to Vegas this week coming up, and I was wondering if anyone here was from Vegas and wanted to chat or show me the sights? I'll be in town for DefCon, a computer hacker/geek convention - but I'll be there a few days before and after as well.... -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can...

I just got back from my trip to Canada!!! and it was AWESOME! :D I'll post more tomorrow, but I can say that I had lots of fun and I got to meet many of the cast members of "You Can't Do That on Television"! Not only that, but, I got to drive through some of the most *beautiful* country...

Hello everyone! Today I'm the big 2-7!!!! :) So, when do I get my party? -Rick "Wembley" Miller ..."You can NOT leave the magic!"

Well, no muppety licence plates here, but NH plates' letters are green, like Kernit! I do, however, have a Hot Topic Gobo and Wembley sitting in the back window staring back into traffic! And, my car is dark forest green! :) I was thinking about putting "I'm a Fraggle Rocker!" and...

Yes - and it was a very "interesting" moment for the normally bumbling Junior... I liked it a lot, when I saw the episode for the first time a only few years ago. -Wembley

The thing is that most of what HIT has are "children's" shows - not very well suited for "boxed set" release. Heck, most kids will happily watch the same episode of Barney over and over and over again. The thought of a Barney boxed set makes me shudder... many people who buy boxed sets are...

I don't know who of the original cast will be there, except according to the guest page, Les Lye, the person who played all the adult male roles (the senator, Barth, the bus driver, etc) is slated to appear. Apparently this is last one, since the convention is being held at CJOH studios in...

That's right folks! I'm heading to Ottawa next month for SlimeCon 2004, a convention all about You Can't Do that on Television, the other great TV show in the '80s. My question is: What else is there to do in Ottawa. Any suggestions on places to see, places to eat etc? All you Canadian...
