Somewhere buried deep in my storage unit is my picture. I also got Pam and Tim's autograph. And Leona signed her name too with a little paw print. Sweet.

I'll say this much. I've been fortunate enough to be close enough to New York, to meet my share of Muppets and their puppeteers. It never ceases to amaze me, just plain logic will tell you it's just a human with a lump of fleece on their arm. But once the character starts talking...to YOU... you...

I was getting concerned this thread disappeared! Hooray it's back. One of my favorite songs was three monsters singing about silent e. Morgan Freeman as Dracula, Jim Boyd as Wolfman, (both appeared numerous times before), and Skip Hinnant as the shortest Frankenstein in history. In between each...

I remember this show! Never got to see it, but they played at several New York venues like the Felt Forum and Nassau Colosseum. Another Looney Tunes show had the characters on ice skates. All good stuff. 8)

When I met them in 2004, it was a thrill. They also had Pam Arciero ( Grungetta on Sesame Street) and Tim LaGasse, who brought their lion puppets with them. They were understudies for Kathy Mullen and Peter Linz, who were performing in Avenue Q across town. It was a symposium at the Museum of...

When Between the Lions aired in 2000, I was 32. It was the only PBS show I could watch without feeling dumbed down. I left Sesame Street way behind by that point. The two men who made BTL so fresh and edgy were Christopher Cerf and Norman Stiles. Cerf wrote numerous songs for SS (tailor made for...

In 2000, the year we got married, my wife and I planted sunflowers. From a packet of dollar store seeds, we planted them and waited to see what happened. The sunflowers thrived in our little 6x6 foot patch of dirt. Over the summer they grew so fast it was amazing. The plot faced East so they...

I'm sorry Penney's didn't work out for you. Retail is not for everybody. You have to be a people person and know how to hustle. I was at Penney's for 11 years (1988 to 1999). They treated me very well. For a while I thought I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. I made good money and lived...

MASH was owned by Fox. Fox was bought by Disney. Klinger is now a Disney Princess! 8)

Texas Roadhouse makes a good steak. And ribs. They used to give you a bowl full of peanuts while you're waiting for your steak. You could crack the peanuts open and throw the shells on the floor. No fun for whoever has to clean up. But show me a steak done medium-well, ribs, sides of baked beans...

@Flaky Pudding believe me I understand what your mom must be going through. I've been there. It's tough. But she might only need to wear the eye patch for a little while. If not maybe some surgery might help save her sight. For that you need to see a retinal specialist. They can do more than an...

Let me fill you in on something. I have sight in only one eye, and I can still function like anybody else. I had trouble with both eyes for the last seven years. I've had multiple laser shots, and every seven weeks have to get Avastin injections in both eyes. Yes, your eye getting stabbed with a...

I appreciate that. Somewhere out there these clips exist in English, and even if I have to wait another 46 years, so be it. A foreign dub is still better than nothing. Just wrap your brain around this. The Boy, Girl, and the Jellybeans, the last time I saw it was 1982, until it was dug up in...

Never fear. I'm not ready to kick the bucket yet. I may be old enough to be the father of practically everybody here, but I'm still young at heart.

I'm hoping not to die anytime soon, but 46 years is a long time to wait to see something again. Still it was worth the wait. Even if this clip never saw the light of day again, I'd still have solid memories to fall back on. I'll always be grateful for getting to see this again after all this...

As cheesy as it was back in the 70's, people my age still have a soft spot for the Saturday morning production of "Shazam". To see some of the low-tech effects today, some of you would die laughing. Jason Bostwick, who played Captain Marvel, had a beer gut and could barely run, let alone fly...

My bucket list just got a little shorter. They just posted the Sesame version of Up Up and Away on YouTube. It's in Hebrew, but Joe Raposo's score is still intact. I have not seen this clip since 1973, it was one of my first threads since joining this site, and now everybody can see what the...

Never mind bumping this thread. I'm 50 going on 5. The last time I saw this clip Nixon was president. Even in Hebrew this is one Holy Grail. And I'm thrilled everybody else can finally see it. Get the popcorn and put on your go-go boots! 8)

Two shout-outs for the current Grinch movie: Skip is blindfolded, and various cast members bring him various things to identify. All "gr" words Grapes, Grain, Gravel, so far so good. Things get messy (and gross) when he sticks his hands in Gravy. Yuck! Things get worse when his hands get...

One neat little film clip from Season 1. Scenes of different cars and the words "parking lot" and "cars" displayed with some nifty psychedelic graphics. The music is from Walter (Wendy) Carlos' groundbreaking album, Switched On Bach. Very nice rendition of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire". At...
