    Why are there few kids' shows that feature sawing in half?

    This thread exists because I was a fan of the sawing in half act after I saw it at a circus in the summer of 1993.

    Big Bird and Snuffy vaudeville bumper

    Oh, please post them both as soon as possible! I haven't seen them since 2000 when they aired on PBS and would love to see them again.

    Cookie Monster makes Peanut-Butter

    If that Cookie Monster sketch were made today, I hope they'd have him try to dip some almonds, cashews, soybeans, sunflower seeds, walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts to try to make almond butter, cashew butter, soy butter, sunflower seed butter, walnut butter, pecan butter, or macadamia nut...

    Apple butter ever used in a preschool?

    But back to my question, have any preschools or day care centers had sunflower seed butter or soy butter when providing food for the kids?

    Apple butter ever used in a preschool?

    It's the allergies that have prompted schools to prohibit nut products.

    Big Bird and Snuffy vaudeville bumper

    In Season 31 and Season 32, there were transitional bumpers in which Big Bird and Snuffy would perform a vaudeville act that transitioned to the next clip and could be identified by the preceding performer. There are two I can't find on YouTube: 1. A tuxedoed elephant dances to "Tea for Two"...

    Apple butter ever used in a preschool?

    Now that I understand that apple butter is not at all like peanut butter, but almond butter, cashew butter, walnut butter, pecan butter, and macadamia nut butter are (those are too common allergens to be used in a preschool), have any preschools ever had sunflower seed butter (one brand is...

    Why are there few kids' shows that feature sawing in half?

    You mean if Between the Lions had done an episode in which Lionel is "sawing Cleo in half" with Theo as the announcer and Leona says she can't be part of the show because she "got invited somewhere" when she would really be providing the feet and when Leona "came back", as they tell her it would...

    Why are there few kids' shows that feature sawing in half?

    What I meant by kids' shows is the shows on PBS. Why is it that Barney has never had Baby Bop be sawed in half, Kidsongs has never had Ruby Biggle be sawed in half, Sesame Street has never had Zoe be sawed in half, and much like an episode of Between the Lions where the viewers have seen that...

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    Does anybody remember a music video in which they are roasting Barbie dolls on the backyard grill? If anybody knows what it was a commercial for, can anybody help me find it?

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    I understand it was a kiddie show and that the viewers probably don't yet know the principles of science, but the question I want the answer to is: Why was flying never an option for Max and Emmy (and later Enrique)?

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    When I was a kid in the 90s I remember seeing this commercial in which a woman said "I am a _____, but sometimes I disappear." Then on screen she gets erased from the bottom up against a blue background, until only the blue background is left. I know it was a clip, but maybe it wasn't a...

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    Actually, dragons being fictional beings is what is making me ask for the logic. The question I have been looking for the answer to is: Why were Max and Emmy (and later Enrique) never given the ability to fly when in Dragon Land? Is there a valid reason why even in Dragon Land, flying was not...

    Question about the release of "The Lorax" in March 2012

    So as I asked at the beginning of this thread, does the Once-Ler smoke a cigar in the 2012 theatrical movie "The Lorax" or did they feel it is not politically incorrect anymore to portray smoking in any form?

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    Well, I see no reason why the producers needed to make it that the only option for Max, Emmy and Enrique to get across the air is to climb on the dragons' backs when the dragons' tiny wings wouldn't work in reality.

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    Well, Dragon Tales had a lot of spoofs of famous things such as "Dragon Scouts" which is a spoof of Girl Scouts.

    Question about major element in Dragon Tales

    Since I first watched Dragon Tales I have wondered this: Because the way the dragons fly does not comply with the principles of science (their wings are too small to allow lift to push the dragons up against the force of gravity or to produce enough thrust to push the dragons back against the...
