Thank you, Kim. Private messages can be one of your best tools for settling matters with someone you may be disagreeing with. If you decide to take matters public, where everybody can view the drama, it seems like you're encouraging the trouble to escalate, rather than finding a solution. A...

I could not agree more. I'm thankful for those that made me feel welcome here. But when I first came back two years ago, it took a little time to establish some rapport. But sometimes friendships need some time to take root. Try as you might, not just here, or any other website, but anywhere...

You'd like to see people come together? Sometimes it might be necessary for people to put their own differences aside. Some might feel they need to get their way, shove their own opinions down others' throats, minimize other peoples' opinions, blah blah blah. This conduct has made me...

Back in the early 80's there was a Muppet skit that defies description. The set was the inside of a mouth with upper and lower teeth. Some Muppet germs show up, and announce they love living inside your mouth, because they can cause CAVITIES!!!! As they went about their business rotting the...

Not a household name to many- he never had a hit in the pop charts, didn't get his songs played on the radio (except college FM radio in the late 60's/early 70's), and never got to appear on the Muppet Show. But Johnny Winter was one of the most amazing guitarists ever. Anyone whoever played...

There was a skit (late-70's vintage) of Gordon crawling through the desert, almost dying of thirst. Maria comes along with a cart (looks like a Good Humor ice cream chest mounted on a bicycle), she's dressed up in her uniform and not breaking one bead of sweat. She has four items in her cart- a...

One of my cats died while I was in the hospital. She never was sick before, but crawled over to a corner, closed her eyes, and never woke up. Two others had to be put down because they had intestinal tumors. It breaks my heart to have to put them to sleep, but it hurts even more to see them...

I miss the art of hand-drawn 2D animation. Yes, the process is ridiculously expensive, labor-intensive, time consuming, blah blah blah, but the results are still breathtaking. Now that animation is computer-driven, you don't have pencil tests anymore. Once upon a time, when Disney still drew...

At first I was thinking, what new ground could they cover that wasn't covered already in "Jim Henson:The Works"? Man, was I surprised.

I miss bananas. When I was little, I used to eat them like they were going out of style. Then I saw the Sesame clip- Ernie was trying to convince Bert that a banana covered with ice and brown gravy was chocolate ice cream. This scene grossed me out so much I couldn't look at bananas again...

Don't remember the episode # (someone can look it up), but when Snuffy was finally revealed. It used to break my heart when Big Bird tried to show Snuffy to the grownups, but for one reason or another, Snuffy would wander off, and after a while the grownups were convinced Bird was a...

You'll like it. Goes back to a bygone era when they combined live action with 2D animation. Has a nice all-star cast too.

I miss when you could actually get penny candy for a penny. Once upon a time around here, gas was only 99 cents a gallon. Twenty bucks would give you a full tank. Today, the same twenty barely keeps you running on fumes. Most of all, I miss when Jim Henson and John Lennon were alive.

Genesis was a mixed blessing for me. They eventually hit pop stardom and became one of the biggest things on earth, but at the expense of all but eliminating their prog masterpieces from their set list. I saw them back in 1992, and the only mention from their early days throughout their 2 1/2...

Frank Sinatra, Glenn Campbell, Dolly Parton to name a few.

That sounds vaguely familiar, if it's the same one I'm thinking of. I think it ran back in the late 70's/early 80's. A couple kids in their tighty-whities struggling to get their clothes on, zippers zipped, buttons buttoned, shoes tied. The last line went, "One day, one happy happy day, I can...

Sometimes I can't remember what I had for breakfast this morning, but I can remember clips I saw once 40 years ago like it just happened. Once upon a time there was a website called YesterdayLand (sadly long extinct) where people my age remembered stuff from the early years of the Street. And...

Gotta work in the morning (Time-and-a-half plus double pay doesn't hurt) but in the afternoon get to fire up the grill, and at night, I get to watch the fireworks from my back yard.

If your knees bent the other way, what would a chair look like?

I'm sure he still lives there, but you don't see too much of the insides of the buildings any more. During the first season, quite a few scenes were shown in Susan and Gordon's kitchen. (Check out the very first episode! There's a groovy peace sign hanging on the wall.). They showed a number...
