They get credit in my book for an Inspector Gadget...well, maybe not straight parody, maybe allusion?...in the street scene, from what I recall of the old cartoons. Gadget's nice, Penny (with Zoe in that role) was always more intelligent than her uncle Gadget, who often came to bizarre...

I checked in on it today for a bit just becasue I was curious, and my mouth flew open when I saw him, after reading what everyone's said about hwo it's impossible. More than balanced out the fact they failed to use my favorite from childhood 9with all the bananas), the "banana in your ear"...

that could be to teach the concept of right-side-up versus upside-down, though - that's the thing with some of these sketches, they have a very good knack for doing thigns in an implied way, whereas today it's a little to a lot less subtle. Of course, depending on the wording of the scene, I...

I understand. I think the reason people can't separate it is becasue of the character pattern, in some ways. I mean, Elmo is supposed to be 3. Parenting is all about teaching kids that other people matter, and at that age, you're lucky if they're not mean and bossy on top of being self centered...

First, great pun - that "unnecessary violins" pun sounded like it could come straight out of The Muppet Show :-) Anyway, I popped in becasue I was curious abuot talk of this coming season, how it was going to be. And, I have a slightly different take over the way SS is doing the healthy...

I hesitate to post this thought because it's just that, a thought, and people tend to see things like this and figure if one person thinks it it's got to be true. So, for those reading, don't believe this. I have no connection to sesame Street, and neither do my old stufed animals :-) (Even if...

It was a good street scene; I'd almost call it very good, especially because I LOL at Grover. I was also glad to see it was Elmo, not Big Bird, who asked what adopt meant; Big Bird sort of echoed a "yeah" but it was more like, "Yeah, let's tell him," like any kid might do who can't quite explain...

I agree about them running out of ways to have the adults miss Snuffy - I don't remember him as much in the "adutls missing him" mode, since it was the erly to middle 1970s. There's only so much you can do, and they handled it in a neat way. I think the biggest thing I notice is the format...

What you said makes a lot of sense. i do think an "alternate universe" where some *episode* happens different is viable, but as we both say, the people still have to react to the situation the way the characters would. I have written literally dozens of "FUll House" stories, as well as a...

Are they missing a word? I first read something about that, and the way my mind works, thinking about how they would advertise it, I automatically saw "Not Just For Kids." Now, maybe my mind was playing tricks on me. But, if they did use the slogan "Not just for kids" that would make perfect...

Perhaps you could come to fanfiction.net and explain why to some of the writers of various sitcoms I like; I just can't seem to get through to them. "Full House" in particular, but there are others. There are still some very good writers, though, who use creative ideas without changing the...

Right; when i've done comedy tapes, like for my nieces and nephews who are missionary kids, i've changed the "old lady who swallowed a fly" bit to have the doctor saying that the old lady is "zonked out of her gourd/gord!' That does sound a lot funnier than the way Ernie says it in what I...

Hmmm, I see the problem, yes, that can be confusing; I only know he was 4 (or think I recall that) when I was growing up in the early '70s. If he was 6 by the time Miles was adopted, then that does make it tough, becasue what we think of as several months time would be recent enough for Big Bird...

I thought Elmo was the one everyone at Sesame Workship wanted kids to identify with :-) I agree, Big Bird has become more of the big brother, and in the early '90s he was more mature than in the '70s, when he was supposed to be about 4. And, actually, Bear, you're very right about the 3-3.5...

The Little Richard thing was just comical to me, I didn't have any opinion good or bad of it. But... It did remind me of something I suggested that a friend put into a "FUll House" fan fic a while back. I love wholesome family shows like that, and writing little fics in my spare time for...

That was cute - it's nice to see them trying to do a story like that, instead of just one person writing and telling it. Reminds me of when i was a kid and we'd take turns telling part of a story. As for Curly Bear, it does make sense that she should hve been at least mentioned, but I think...

Sorry ths is so late, but I finally found the promised skit – Sesame Street theater presents the real story behind the “Old Woman Who Swallowed A Fly”: Ernie held one end of his stethoscope in his hands while thinking. He was so glad to be working at the clinic - even as a simple medical...

Agreed, they could have brought back my favorite comedy team (well, SS comedy team) and used the other SS Muppet who would have been good for this and changing the capital letter - Ernie. Just picture... Bert (raising eyebrows as only he could): "You want me to call you Jernie today?" Ernie...

On Gabi and Miles' graduation and "Peanuts" The classic "Peanuts" from this past Sunday which ran in my paper, if you all saw it, too, should have clued you in to why the graduation is possible. "Peanuts" - which I'm as crazy about as most of you are SS, did the same thing with Charlie...

I agree about the intro of Herb - but is he supposed to be a recurring character? I don't think they'd necessarily replace Snuffy with him just because they have similar entrances. However, it's disappointing that Herb didn't appear to Snuffy. That could have been handled in a couple comedic...
