    Storyteller Greek Myths DVD coming September 7

    This is exciting news, and I also can't wait to get this DVD. I know very little about this second Storyteller series, and I've got some questions about it. Was "Greek Myths" made before or after Jim died? Why was Michael Gambon cast as the storyteller instead of John Hurt? Why was this...

    Mattie Stepenack Passes Away

    Walt Disney AND Jim Henson

    Is Santa Claus, Indiana, the Christmas capital of America? I'm sure that town is always on the receiving end of jokes over its name. They've obviously exploited it for use as a Christmas-themed land at its theme park. OI MuppetFan

    Ray Charles dies at 73

    Dantecat, Is Powerball the name of a lottery company? I don't think those commercials ever aired here. The commercials I remember seeing and enjoying were the ones for Diet Pepsi. They even got me drinking Diet Pepsi for a while. I've also seen the ones he did for rival Coca-Cola that...

    Ray Charles dies at 73
