    Hurricane Sandy Thread

    Oh, no. I'm grateful I got my mother's house to go to until I can get back to mine. I'm grateful for a hot shower after 5 days. I'm grateful for clean clothes. I'm grateful for a hot meal. I'm grateful I can still get gas, even if it takes a while. And we weren't even the worst hit. I'll tell...

    Hurricane Sandy Thread

    Yesterday was the first time in a week I got online. Trees still down on my street (many with power lines tangled up in them), don't expect power back until at least Friday- still at least a million people in Northern NJ powerless. Gas rationing still going on- depending on your license plate...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    Back around 2004 when I opened up for Hillman, he was touring with his old friend Herb Pederson who he knew since before he joined the Byrds. Herb was a session guitarist who even played on the soundtracks for several Muppet movies. Small world, ain't it? I also got to open up for Carlene...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    I was lucky enough to meet Bob McGrath twice and got autographs and pix on both occassions, and got to talk and pick his brain on Sesame-related subjects. And he has to be the nicest guy I ever met, bar none. Playing in bands has its advantages, because you never know who you might end up...

    Of the Chuck Jones shorts, how could you leave out "What's Opera Doc"? Gotta be tied with Duck Amuck for #1.

    Family Circus movie (facepalm)

    I agree with Snowthy, Family Circus might be cloying to some, but it's not all that bad. In fact, there's an anthology of the first few years of the strip from the early 60's, and was quite edgy at times. I actually liked it when I was growing up back in the 70's. There might not be anything...

    Disney Picks Up Alexender And The Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day

    That was such a favorite book of mine when I was little. I'm just curious, because the book was pretty short, I wonder how they'll be able to stretch it out to a feature-length film? It could really make a decent short (10 minutes), but to stretch it to 90 minutes without padding it will be the...

    Big, Bigger, Biggest?

    The last time I ever remember seeing it was around 1981-82, and by that time they were already starting to phase out a few old clips. There's a few oldies out there I hope see the light of day again (including this one) so today's generation can get a chance to get scared too.

    Things you miss

    I miss the chemistry that existed when Jim, Joe Raposo, Jeff Moss, and Jon Stone were still with us. (The Four "J " Horsemen) Back during its first 20 years, Sesame Street was unstoppable, every day was an exciting, swirling, magic trip, and the combination of the elements of the four men above...

    Big, Bigger, Biggest?

    There's a Muppet big/bigger/biggest clip that hasn't been seen in decades, but Frank really outdid himself in scaring me to death. There were three monsters, two of whom we've seen before (one was green, the other was orange- in the skit where Herry tells Grover the alphabet, and asks him to...

    Thinking of moving to California to follow my dreams, any advice

    I agree. It's great to follow your dreams, but also necessary to inject a little reality in there too. A lot of people go to New York or Hollywood in search of their big break, so depending on your field you might run into some stiff competition. (There are so many singers/dancers/actors...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Hey Frodis! I see you hooked up with my best friend/fellow Monkee freak Mokeystar!(One tangent here, I never thought I'd see the day Mike Nesmith would put on his wool hat and call himself a Monkee again, but there you are). The David/12 clip didn't scare me, it actually had me mesmerized...

    Grover on ice

    I remember it. Way back in the 70's when they first hosted Sesame Street On Ice at Madison Square Garden. There was a similar clip of Bert dreaming he was ice skating- same rink. Then a year or two later a number of Muppet skaters made their way into a few opening scenes of Christmas Eve on...

    The World's Dumbest Thread

    If nothing else, World's Dumbest keeps Leif Garrett gainfully employed.

    The World's Dumbest Thread

    I'm surprised how much mileage they've gotten out of World's Dumbest so far; Dumb Crooks, Drunken Soccer Moms, Police Chases, the end is listless! :) A few years back when I was recovering from my surgery, this never failed to put a smile on my face.

    David gets dissed

    It wasn't a whole episode, just a street scene, back around Season 8. And with the street scenes, unlike cartoons or Muppet inserts, if you missed it, chances are you wouldn't catch it again. Then you might have to wait years, or even decades. So far, this one hasn't shown up on Noggin/Old...

    "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" debuts on PBS September 3, 2012

    I like your avatar, Dominicboo! :) This was nice at introducing Daniel to a new generation of kids who weren't even alive when Mr. Rogers passed away, and they included a few musical cues and such from the olden days (that's Mr. McFeeley who lets us know this show was made possible by "Viewers...

    David gets dissed

    Poor David. Throughout the 70's and into the 80's, he and Maria were quite an item, but he sometimes had trouble winning her over. One day he was really going to impress her by learning Spanish, so he hit the books. He was going to invite her to Hooper's to have a soda "Te invito a tomar una...
