Somewhere in my mind lurking among all of the bizarre songs from childhood I have a vague recollection of Kermit singing Lydia the Tattooed Lady. Does anyone else remember this? Was it from The Muppet Show or some other apperance? Jennifer --filling in the blanks

Wasn't there a character on Sesame Street who was a parody of Barbara Walters? I think it was a lamb? Does anyone remember....? Jennifer

Sesame Street and McDonald's commercials It seems as if there are several issues here: One: the idea of advertising on PBS. Haven't there always been sponsorship ads on PBS? They've always said who their major grants come from. Not ideal, I grant you. It would be nice to have a commerce-free...

Hahahahaha! This is funny! But, uh, yeah! I agree! That's economics for you. Throw the common sense out the window and welcome the bucks in. Jennifer

I have heard that there are DVD players available in the US that play both Region 1 and Region 2 DVDs. Can anyone give me a brand name? Jennifer

What a nice statue! Thanks for the pictures. The statue is lovely. What a wonderful memorial. If I'm ever in Maryland I'll have to make a trip to check it out. Jennifer

I just got back from a trip to London--great city, very nice people-- where I saw a show called The Complete Works of Shakespeare (abridged) by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. They do 37 works in 97 minutes. It's completely hysterical. I'd recommend it to anyone without reservation. It...

Uh, okay, thanks for bringing THAT up! Dont feel too bad. I'll be forty in 2012! Jennifer (still trying to believe I'm thirty-one...)

Brits..all Brits... I've only read the first book, and that was quite a few years ago, so I don't remember many details, but I do remember it striking me as very British in a Monty Pythonesque way. If there is a new film being made, I think it should have an English cast. Unless, of...

A cape... Okay, anytime anyone mentions a cape, I think of the Seinfeld episode where someone saw George's dad with a man wearing a cloak. "Why would my father be with a man wearing a cloak..." I know that has nothing to do with anything... but what can I say? I'm a stream of...

Okay, I'll admit... I am not a fan of Disnsey animation in any way, shape or form, but I do like Sleeping Beauty. Not only is Maleficient the best villian, but Sleeping Beauty has the best prince! He dances AND slays dragons! And if I remember correctly, he doesn't talk....adding to the...

Marketing needed.... Well, I bought my copy of Storyteller with The Two Towers on Tuesday. I haven't watched all of the Storyteller episodes yet, so I can't really write a review. I'm savoring them and watching one by one. I agree it would have been nice to have more than one disk. It...

There is a video clip of rehearsals of Little Shop of Horrors on www.broadway.com if anyone is interested. Just click on multimedia and on video features. You can see some of Audrey II and the actors commenting on the fact that Audrey II is really the star of the show. There is also a clip...

Congratulations! Did you celebrate by having the senior special at Denny's and then getting your senior discount at the movies?

Not only Henson, but... Not only is Henson involved with this one, but recently casting was announced and the Great Douglas Sills-- or God of All Things, as some are wont to call him-- will be playing the dentist. Now I've got to, got to, got to figure out a way to go! Jennifer

I do!! I do!!! This has got to be one of the all-time best! For as long as I can remember (and I'm at the old age of 31) whenever one of us kids has made a big deal of something we could solve ourselves my mom would sing that song! Now I do it whenever someone at work comes to me with a...

I kinda liked it... I finally saw it this morning, and while I didn't laugh hysterically like I do for many Muppet productions, I thought it was really cute. It was certainly something I'd purchase for my children if I had children. While the double-entendres(sp?) that only adults get were...

Yay! I'm going to London in two months, my first trip out of the US ever! Can anyone recommend anything other than the usual touristy things that are not to be missed? I'm a little disappointed in the prospects for theater at the time I'll be going, although Chitty-Chitty- Bang-Bang looks...

Hmm... Henson heart-attack, anyone?

Isn't Snape one of the most interesting characters, though? (Major kudos to whoever made the choice to cast Alan Rickman in that role in the movies!) Here's a man who's thoroughly unpleasant. The guy holds a grudge so long that it extends to the offspring of the guy he hates! The grudge...
