    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Thanks for your support, Mo & Charlie. It means a lot. So we met at the coffee shop, and we discovered a lot in common: we're both musicians and artists…albeit different types of art. She paints, I draw cartoons. But we both agree that art is a great way of expressing human feelings and...

    TV Alert: The Muppets on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Finale February 7

    Great performance from Jimmy Fallon and the Muppets, who are some of my favorite entertainment stars in the world. I couldn't tell whether Jimmy was actually playing the drums or not, but that's a minor quibble. For all I know, the whole thing might have been prerecorded except for Fallon's...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    Two things that have been on my mind: Recently, one of my childhood friends passed away suddenly of a drug overdose. He was days away from his twentieth birthday. It's very sad news…everyone that knew him was hit hard. :cry::( I've been wondering, "Why is life so short? Why does it have to be...

    Video: Crack Master Sesame Street animation

    In my opinion, this was a little bit underwhelming, considering all the hype surrounding it. But I see how this could have freaked out young kids. There have been plenty of much scarier and creepier segments on SS (Beautiful Day Monster's B skit, the bird and the toothbrush, Ernie and the...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Beethoven Symphony #3, Movement #1… I like to mix things up a little bit on these threads every now and then. :)

    When you need to RAVE!

    I am so glad for all the opportunities I've had this year in school: I'm getting to meet new people and getting to know old friends a little better. I've earned improved grades, and committing to my academics much more. And I'm performing more music than I did last year, which helps me become...

    Super Bowl XLVIII: Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

    Wow…Seattle absolutely hammered Denver, who had no response to the #1 defense in the NFL. I think the safety that the Seahawks got in the first minute set the tone for the rest of the game. I'd go as far to say that Bruno Mars' performance was better than the Broncos'. And he was on for only...

    Video: The Muppets Super Bowl Toyota Highlander Commercial with Terry Crews

    …and Lawrence Fishburne for Episode 3? He was hilarious in that Kia commercial!

    New Muppet movie in development for potential 2013 release

    I'm living in NYC right now, and I've seen a couple of those taxi advertisements (that they place on the roof of the cab) for the new movie. It's just the name and release date of the movie, with one Muppet standing behind the words. So far I've seen two ads with Animal in one and Fozzie Bear...

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Yeah, I agree. If Eric Jacobson comes to perform Grover and Bert, they could potentially remake a lot of classic songs like "Still We Like Each Other" or "Doin' the Pigeon." Same with Matt Vogel, who wowed us all with his Count von Count vocals in that "1 Billion Views in YouTube" song...

    When you need to rant...

    Yep. I wish it weren't so, but that's the reality that we all face on a daily basis.

    When you need to rant...

    This reminds me about your previous post regarding Jennifer "Plus-Sized" Lawrence, who I think is beautiful and should NOT be called "plus-sized." I'd hate to hear what the press has to say about Melissa McCarthy... :( I personally can't stand the ads with those models who looks like they've...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 44

    Just watched the new "classic feel" clips featuring Grover, Cookie Monster, and Oscar, and I love them! In the first one, Grover demonstrates force by pulling on a rope, but he can't get it to move. So he enlists the help of three monsters (Frazzle makes a surprise appearance!), who still...

    Video: The Muppets Super Bowl Toyota Highlander Commercial with Terry Crews

    I tried my hardest to not watch this commercial. I wanted to wait until Sunday. But I couldn't resist. So I watched it. And I'm so glad I made that decision. :) Where do I begin? The Electric Mayhem's triumphant return! The rocking background music, with the Hammond organ and all. Rowlf...

    Video: The Muppets "No Room for Boring" Music Video

    This proves to me that the Muppets don't always need Kermit and Miss Piggy (the faces of the franchise so to speak) to be recognizable. Their off-the-wall humor is what makes them so awesome and, uh, not boring. 'Cause there's no room for boring in the Muppet universe. I'm really glad to see...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    I'm still on a big Billy Joel kick, but the vocal group Pentatonix has some AMAZING covers. Right now, my favorite is their a cappella version of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," which is part of a full-blown medley.

    Super Bowl XLVIII: Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

    Totally true! I can't decide between Peyton Manning the throwing QB or Russell Wilson with his running game. Plus Peyton has a good receiver in Wes Welker, and Russell has running back Marshawn Lynch to help him out. Even more interesting to me: how will Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili...

    Ernie during the Around the Corner era

    Based on what I watched as a kid during the ATC era, Ernie didn't have speaking roles very often, if at all. That was left to other newer Muppets like Elmo, Zoe, Rosita, Benny Rabbit, Ingrid and Humphrey, Baby Natasha, etc. Puppeteer availability also has something to do with it: Steve...
