What's Nostalgia to me might be Ancient History to you. Early 1970's, here's the complete PBS line-up: Sesame Street The Electric Company (not the 2000's remake) Mr. Rogers Neighborhood Zoom (not the 90's remake) For brief stints: HodgePodge Lodge- learn about nature and different animals...

There were quite a few Tom and Jerry moments where either dynamite explodes in Tom's face, or they end up getting covered with tar, and you get a brief blackface gag. Most of these were edited out over time, but a few stray ones still exist. Tex Avery's shorts still have a few as well. They...

Wine in grocery stores AND moonshine in your backyard? Say no more! I'll be there with my red Solo cup in two shakes! :)

While Eeyore frets, and Piglet hesitates, and Rabbit calculates, and Owl pontificates, Pooh just is. Some parts of Milne's books can never be improved upon.

Yes. Saw it in the movies, and just came out on DVD. I wish people who don't know God could understand that he is not about following rules, rituals, and living up to impossible legalistic ideals (Never sin! Impossible, by being human, we've all screwed up). God is about loving. God is about...

Cheers and best wishes

Episode dates and numbers never really concerned me, but others seem to obsess over them. On YouTube in the comments section for a lot of classic clips, someone named kungfujiapple saw fit to provide episode dates and numbers. To me, it's just a number, I have no emotional stake in. It means...

There were three series of Roosevelt Franklin skits I can recall. In the first season we had Roosevelt's Alphabet, Numbers, and Days of the Week (my fave). Around Season 5 came the Elementary School skits, then in Season 8 (or around there, you can look it up) came the Headball skits. Set in...

One of his first contributions was the psychedelic V cartoon (the vampire scared the pants off me), then the Typewriter, the Ringmaster, Pointer Sisters Pinball Count, the end is listless. For the adults, check out Lenny Bruce's short "Thank You Masked Man". Thank you Jeff Hale, for making...

On the subject of those anti-bullying spots... yes, I'm all in favor of stopping bullying by any means possible. But the ad of the girls ignoring another girl in the cafeteria, and not letting her sit with them, I wouldn't consider THAT bullying in the strictest sense. Back when I was that...

I'm partial to a few Don Bluth was involved in before he struck out on his own: Robin Hood The Rescuers The Fox and The Hound By the mid-80's, Disney did become stagnant. Having one of their top men leave and compete against them was probably the best thing that ever happened to them. The...

Happy birthday, or un-birthday. Cheers!

Rolling Stone's latest issue had SNL at 40 as the cover story. They ranked every cast member in the show's history. John Belushi topped the list (naturally), The Muppets were second to last. The skits with Scared, Ploobis and Favog weren't bad, the writers just couldn't (or didn't want to) come...

From a little bit of what I've seen, the thing about animation that drives me nuts is kids that post on YouTube some half-a**ed attempts of shooting with their phones. Low frame rates, almost no movement (if the mouth moves, you got action!), no storyline, no character development, nothing to...

The most painful thing is songs you loved when they were new, that got ran into the ground through overexposure, used in a few commercials/tv themes/movie soundtracks. Here are a few classic tracks that you can file under Death By Oversaturation: 1. Journey- Streetlight People (you know better...

We've still come a long way in 15 years with official releases, YouTube postings, and any other legitimate outlet. It still might only be a fraction of Sesame's output, but we've got a good representation of every era of the show's history. I'm grateful enough for that. It would be wonderful to...

Very few people have been around as long as me, and remember when these episodes were brand new. I was extremely thrilled when footage from the first dozen episoes or so surfaced a few months ago. Anything from that era is worth its weight in gold to me, and thank you rugratskid, hooperfan, and...

Right now he and Casey Kasem are in Heaven sipping tea and swapping stories...

Thank you Gary for all your voiceovers in the early days of Sesame Street ( including the "J" cartoon in the Pitch Reel, THE first animation completed), Commander Feral in "Swat Kats", and everything in between.
