The one show that had an even longer waiting list was Rosie O’Donnell. Her show only ran a few years, but there was no shortage of people wanting to be in the audience. Why? Rosie used to give away all this free stuff. There would be three hundred in the audience, and she’d give them all passes...

As far as Jeopardy goes, (this was in the pre-Covid days), they have regional tryouts. You and maybe a thousand other people play a few rounds, seeing how fast you can buzz in. If you do well, you get put on a waiting list (my wife made it on. It was at least a year) then you might get called...

Well, then that’s all you can do until he gets fired. I know, I’ve had a couple coworkers who made my job miserable, and I tried my best to make sure my schedule didn’t overlap with theirs. Sometimes, unfortunately, you’re stuck with them. Yes, it stinks. But hang in there. His day will come, or...

Northern Calloway (David on Sesame Street) had his little episode of running around naked and smashing windows.CTW hushed it up real good. I didn’t even know about this until long after his death. Thank the Workshop for damage control.

More good stuff, Cullen. Give yourself a hand!😋

Do you have a supervisor you can report him to? If so, you’re perfectly within your right to complain about him. One word of caution. If you have a boss or supervisor to report to, never never NEVER give an ultimatum. If you ever approach a boss and say, “Either he goes or I go!” Guess what...

Well, for the last 50 years, scientists have been predicting a huge earthquake will sink California into the ocean. Besides earthquakes and fires, when it does rain, California is prone to mudslides. In the last ten years or so, it seems when California is having fires, the Midwest gets floods...

Not just wildfires, but also because they pay the highest taxes in the nation. Many are relocating to Texas.

It’s funny how some things never changed. Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, Electric Company and Zoom (their original 70s versions, not the millennial remakes) all that was my childhood. There wasn’t much happening on any other station. Fuzzy History 101. Back in the 70s, before cable, New York City...

Probably the same time as pitiless peaches.

I’m amazed McNuggets had discernible shapes. They just looked like formless lumps. Most chickens won’t let you touch their nuggets. 😊

If it makes you feel any better, I had a coworker like that too once upon a time. Instead of running reports like me, she sat on her brains, talked to her friend on the phone, looking at eBay on the screen. This went on for so long I’d be in the room she didn’t even know I was there. Until I...

It’s like asking Frank Oz’s children (he has four from his first marriage) GET YOUR DAD TO DO PIGGY’S VOICE AGAIN!

Wouldn’t you stand a better chance of finding Brian Henson’s business address (I believe he has an office in LA, and no, I don’t know where it is) than posting a thread here? If he never logs on, how will ever see it? There’s been a Fraggle box set released about 15 years ago. You can pick one...

I remember back in the 90s when collecting animation cels were a big thing. Art galleries sprung up, and people were dropping thousands of dollars on these things. I could never afford the one-of-a-kind production cels used in actual cartoons. But I could afford a sericel of Andy Panda with his...

I wish you all the best to become a pastor. I’m not doubting you can do it. It’s a noble and honorable goal. I just want to throw in one hint of caution. A lot of people start out with lofty goals. Young people always think they’ll change the world. Maybe make a small dent. But it will take...

It’s something Fantasmic is still going. Last time I was there in 2001 it certainly drew a good crowd.

Back in the 70s, my mom had a dollar on a table in the front hall. It was summer, and the ice cream truck was coming down the street. I grabbed the dollar, and bought ice cream for me and three of my friends. Back then you could get a Good Humor bar for a quarter. My, how times have changed. So...

I still have a few plush Fraggle as well. Over the years I picked up Gobo, Red, and Sprocket. All of them look great. Sadly, I’ve seen a number of Mokey dolls, and they are...truth be told...UGLY!!! Breaks my heart they never got her right. The eyes look awful. FAO Schwarz in New York used to...

The only other one which showed up on YouTube recently (Thanks, Tiny Dancer): An artist is painting on a canvas. He shows us his masterpiece, which says “Sesame Street”. The letters slide off. The artist walks off, and the episode number appears on the canvas.
