    Where's the Pinball 1-12 song?

    I just started doing this and recently finished transferring the SS series premiere onto DVD. It's not perfect quality but it's a darn good transfer considering that it's from an SP VHS taped off of digital cable. I hope to do more in the future...unforunately, I'm using my friends equipment...

    Muppets on SNL

    Kristin, that would be great. I would really appreciate it. Let's talk about via e-mail rather than the forum. Scott

    Muppets on SNL

    Hey Kristin...I hope you're doing well. You can also find Danny Horn's transcriptions of the scripts at his Tough Pigs site. It was part of his Anthology series. Here's the link. http://www.toughpigs.com/anth02june.htm

    What is Next on Unpaved?

    If it's still being shown you're going to have to wade through a week's worth of camping episodes before we get to Mr. Hooper's episode...it will be a long time coming.

    What is Next on Unpaved?

    Is it correct that they're now airing every other week?

    Caroll Spinney Book Signing in SF

    I'm not quite sure how to go about it either. I guess I was thinking not so much including the he said this or did that but rather all our comments about how kind, gracious and gentlemanly he is and how much we appreciated that. Really, that's thing that I've been repeating over and over...

    Caroll Spinney Book Signing in SF

    Jamie, Thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like it was as memorable of an experience as I had in Naperville. As I've been reading everyone's stories, tt makes we wonder if we should compile some of our experiences into a short book and send it to Caroll to say "thanks" for being such...

    Sesame Street pays tribute to Fred Rogers May 16

    I think Matt Vogel was playing Big Bird for the tribute. It didn't sound like Caroll to my ears at all.

    Why was Oscar orange and then green?

    For the complete story on Oscar as well as others the book is definitely worth picking up...it really is reasonably priced...you should check it out.

    Muppets on Cliff's Nightmare episode of The Cosby Show

    Be sure to look for Matt Robinson's (the original Gordon) cameo as one of the poker players around the kitchen table.

    Caroll Spinney Book Signing in NYC

    Hey Kristin, I made it home safe and sound. I was pretty dang tired and sad to leave my family again but my sesame street CDs kept my spirits up and I got to think a lot about life, which was nice. The man with the Oscar tattoo was something else! I don't know if you heard this but he...

    Caroll Spinney Book Signing in NYC

    Hays, my entire family thought your son was very well behaved and very cute too! I heard you bantering with some of the customers and thought for sure you were probably from MC. Glad you you could make it! BTW, I took tons of pictures so if anyone is interested just send me an e-mail.

    Caroll Spinney Book Signing in NYC

    I was there too, Hays. I was sitting next to the cranky child at the beginning of the evening. Caroll _was_ extremely charming and very, very giving to each person he talked with. I especially appreciated his story about Big Bird's appearance on Mr. Rogers. He was very funny and animated as...

    That's a bummer...I'm sorry that you won't be able to attend.

    Big Bird Book Signing ... I Can't Wait!

    Anyone, going to the signing in Naperville, IL? I'll be there with my mom and sister. I've traveled 6 hours to get back home for the signing. Scott

    well...honestly, I don't think many people really do. Unfortuante.

    Caroll Spinney (and Oscar) on CNN this morning

    I caught a brief interview with Caroll Spinney this morning on CNN Not much to report. The interview was not even 5 minutes and it seemed as though the interviewer did more talking than Caroll. The thing I found most dissapointing was that they kept showing clips of Matt Vogel's...

    Caroll Spinney/Jim Henson Company on The Diane Rehm Show May 9, 2003

    I'm listening to it right now...it's a charming interview. Diane Rehm seems to have an affection for her subjects and that's nice to hear and I love how Carroll breaks in and out of his character as he's telling stories.

    The Don Music Appreciation Thread

    How often was Don Music around? I seem to have hazy memories of him appearing often on the Street in the late 70's but not so much in the 80's. Of course, I started going to school at that time but I think that might have been when the started phasing him out. Anyway, it's amazing that he...

    EM.TV to Sell Muppets to Jim Henson's Children for $89 Million

    In any event...this is definitely exciting and unexpected news. I have a feeling that it will be a tough road ahead (for the immediate future) but I also anticipate some interesting and fun projects as well. Congratulations to the Henson family. It must be a day of great celebration for them.
