Luckily, it looks like that one ("Big Bird's wing in a sling") will be on PBS again next week (at least in my area, check your listings just to make sure). I missed it the first time too, so I'll try to catch it this time!

Hi BuddyBoy600alt - I'm 95% sure that that music is from "Romeo and Juliet" by Tchaikovsky. I don't have a copy of it, but hopefully someone can confirm that that is the correct piece. It's definitely a beautiful piece of music. More info. on it here...

Well, he seemed to be comfortable at first, because before Sesame St. began taping, he and Frank had tried performing the opposite characters before realizing that Jim was happiest performing Ernie & Frank performing Bert. He continued performing Ernie up to the very end, even when Frank wasn't...

Yes, it's definitely worth seeing if you ever make it to EPCOT. I saw it years ago, before Jim had been added in, but it's still a great "mini-history lesson" and a great show.

My friend Jim is a fan and has made a list of the "top 42 moments from LOST" on his blog. You can find them in the archives, along with some episode reviews (and I suspect more to come!): http://cinemacervello.blogspot.com/ http://cinemacervello.blogspot.com/2010/02/lost-601-la-x.html

This topic would make a long (but interesting) study. In most cases, both versions are good, but in different ways. For example, on the LP version of "Exit" (from the "Signs" album), the music is interrupted at points as various characters announce their intention to leave the concert. The TV...

Very sorry to hear about this, but very glad she is doing OK. I join in the prayers for a speedy recovery.

I suspect that Kermit actually still owns the apartment on Sesame St., but just uses it when he is in town. As noted, he's not the average frog and can afford such luxuries. Incidentally, I think the actual location of the apartment was down the street (to the left, off camera) from the Fix-it-Shop.

Nothing to be ashamed of. :) They have some great songs. They actually did a small concert recently near SoCal, so they are still around and singing.

Sigh. Thanks for posting about this. Like so many of us, I'm not too surprised. It's clear that they've been neglecting the music industry for years. I watched it back in the late 1980s when it was still a music channel. Admittedly, it wasn't perfect, but for teen kids it was one of the best...

Yay! Good to know these are on the way. Thanks for letting us know.

I haven't been to the museum yet, though I'd love to check it out. There was a small local exhibit of Schulz's work last year, but I was a little disappointed to learn that the comic strips they had were reprints and not the actual drawings themselves. (They still looked great, but it's always...

Very high praise. I must agree that this is one of the friendliest message boards there is. Thanks to you all for making it that way.

I know, I wish more sites would make reading easier on us. If you press "control" and scroll forward with your mouse, that zooms in on the computer image. Another way is to copy and paste the text into an empty text document. Then you can bump up the point size manually.

That must have been a fun show. Which songs did you perform?

Thanks to you both for the thoughts and links - I'm a big time "Peanuts" fan too. I agree that having Schulz "in charge" probably kept the strip's popularity going for as long as it did. It kept pretty much the same "feel" to it, even though the styles and plot lines and sometimes even the humor...

I first came to appreciate Art Clokey's work through "Davey and Goliath," which is another favorite kids' show of mine. For some reason, my local stations never ran "Gumby" until much later. But when I saw the old "Gumby" films, I felt they had much the same feel and fun as the D&G films. He was...

Happy new year and good wishes to you all. And guys, don't worry, keep trying and it will happen.

A while back, I blogged all about this issue: http://heroshaven.blogspot.com/2007/07/youve-got-to-do-it.html In summary, yes, it was a stupid claim. :) If I recall correctly, the person who initially made the statement has backed off a bit, indicating that it is not Fred Rogers himself who...

Cool lists- I'd like to recommend "Doin' the snuffleupagus" as Snuffy's signature song. He's only sung it twice (once in the old school days and again in the 90s I think), but it is the song that goes along with the music that used to play in the "invisible snuffy" days whenever he would enter...
