You scared yet? I know he had a very intense stare. He never seemed to blink, and he did look a little freaky in his shaved head. But he never scared me. I was always more spellbound, almost hypnotized by his performance. I know it's been posted elsewhere, but I am always intrigued by what...

The first time I remember seeing them was when Maria (in support of the feminist movement sweeping the country back then) got a job at a construction site. (She even gets helped onto a girder by the real-life Jerry Nelson, voice and performer of Biff). During the course of the day, Biff manages...

Boy, do I ever! Herbert Birdsfoot had a little "m" poem, and Grover was able to very conveniently help him out. But our blue friend was so frustrated by having his mouth stuck shut with peanut butter. Herbie was able to get Grover's mouth un-stuck, but as soon as Herbie left, Grover's mouth got...

I remember this one. Melvin the Moving Man had Mounds of Muscles, along with his Macaroni Moustache. Monday Morning, Melvin Moved a Moose, a Mule, and a Mound of Marbles. My My! Aren't Melvin's Muscles Magnificent! And the Music courtesy of a little synthesizer called the Moog.

I'm sure it put fear in the doll's heart, going to sleep and being woken up by the kitty cat's pitter-pats! And they sure trashed the place (kinda reminds me of one of my college fraternity houses after Homecoming Weekend!) but even the girls managed to laugh at the kitty's antics. But I can...

No, this was a live-action film with real people. No muppets, no monsters, but still a very entertaining film.

Actually, after a bit of searching, your curiosity can finally be satisfied. That footage showed them putting a new neon sign on the Empire Hotel, (hence the R) located on the corner of 62nd Street and Broadway. Lincoln Center is across the street, you're a block away from Central Park. If you...

There were at least two others. 1. One showed a mother making a sandwich for her daughter. After beginning, the sped-up film showed her spreading mayo on the bread, adding tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, pickles, cold cuts, and everything but the kitchen sink. The finished sandwich was quite a...

Well, there's the skit where Sam was warning the cowboys in the saloon not to tell (Clementine? Calamity Jane? her name escapes me) that he has something for her. One of the cowpokes was about to tell her about Sam's surprise, but Sam put a stop to that. "If you tell her, it won't be a...

Sinister Sam, Wanted Dead or Alive Ahh, yes! Sinister Sam was the meanest, nastiest hombre West of the Pecos! And you're right, in both early skits mentioned there was a big buildup in suspense when Sam met up with either Doc Holliday or "the biggest man in the place". The final showdown...

Come on, People. Let's not get Personal. Let it Pass.:o

Boy, sometimes I can't remember what I had for breakfast, but I remember this one clear as a bell! While Mom was frying up some eggs, the kid knocked over his glass of milk. Of course she wants to know who did it (being there's only two of them in the room, it's really obvious he did it, but...

Yes, that was a touching moment, where Oscar actually felt sorry for Ernie and wanted to help. Oscar's "replacement" was the ugliest thing known to man. It was a little yellow rubber "thing" with beady little eyes, huge Grinch-like eyebrows, and when he squeezed it, instead of getting a little...

Poor Liza. It looked like Henry's simpleminded actions were going to give her a stroke!:eek:

Actually, that's not too far off from reality. Way back in the early 70's, there was actually a ball called a Powerbouncer. It was red powder (just like in the film), that when you poured into a mold, and held underwater, it actually turned into a ball! Not just any ball, it was supposed to be...

Tell you what, Mokeystar. You can be the girl, and I'll be the boy. I bet we can pull it off. :smirk:

The monster's role Yes, Mokeystar, Beautiful Day did appear in the tv version, and Herry (or a close relation) was drawn in the book. And BD didn't growl or yell like he normally does. If you use your imagination, he actually sounds a bit like Andy Rooney. (For you youngsters who might not...

Just to fill in a few holes The skit (Part One) begins with the boy (The same AM that was used to sing the 7 song/ Going To St. Ive's, again voiced by Jim) explaining how happy he is that he has a whole bag of jelly beans. He comes across Betty Lou (voiced by Frank) who's bawling her eyes...

Sadly, Lou Rawls passed away yesterday at the age of 72, after a long bout with cancer. I believe he was the first ever musical guest on Sesame Street, singing his ABC's with a bunch of kids. His appearance was included in one of the very early Noggin/Unpaved episodes. He was highly respected...

I don't think anyone is trying to drag on, speculating when will Carroll retire. I'm sure we're all aware it will happen sometime. But Carroll has managed to capture a special place in many people's hearts (not just mine) with his characters. He's the only Muppeteer who has been with the show...
