I love Kristin Chenoweth and was blown away when I discovered she's on "Sesame Street". Could someone tell me a bit about her character Ms. Noodle? Pleeeeease?

If memory serves, it's from the Broadway musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", written by Abe Burrows (who wrote "A Gypsy's Violin", "When", and "Down Memory Lane" as featured in the Peter Sellers episode, and the "Sea Chanty" that opens the Petula Clark episode).

TMS Season One had THREE Fozzie puppets:
Fozzie 1.1: the rarely remembered original version with tiny pupils, a rather extreme bell-shaped head, and a frowning/smiling cheek mechanism. Used in the opening credits and a few sketches in the final versions of the first two episodes ("Cowboy Time"...
A hard-nosed opinion, and a very opinionated article, but it's point is no less true. The Muppets aren't doing very well, and in a sense are has-beens.
Look at how many celebs clamor to be on "Sesame Street"- despite the changes (I haven't watched the show for years so I only know of them...
Two quick yes or no qs:
bp Nichol wrote most of your Storyteller episodes; I take it this is not a coincidence?
Whenever I notice Morris in a crowd scene, he's nearly always on the left side of the screen and next to Red Fraggle; I take it this is also not a coincidence?
David "Gorgon...
Heck, I'm stuck in the 70s, 80s, and previous, and I was born in '82. But I was always a little adult, so it's a moot point. Nice to have you back, Twiddlebug. How's everything?
Some on my wishlist:
-"I Want a Monster to be my Friend" (I have never seen this)
-"Front and Back Blue...
Matt hasn't posted in over a year, so as I made this list for him, I don't think he'll mind my posting it.
1) Harry Connick Jr., 7/31/02
2) Elvis Costello, 7/31/02
3) They Might Be Giants, 8/1/02
4) Alan Jackson, 8/1/02
5) Rockapella, 8/7/02

I used to be scared of the Trash Heap and Junior Gorg. The first four episodes I ever had on tape were "The Battle of Leaking Roof", "Wembley and the Mean Genie", "The Beanbarrow, the Burden, and the Bright Bouquet", and "The Great Radish Caper".
Junior's eyes were scary to me, and the Trash...
Matt has nearly 50 outlines up. I sent him a formatted list of links (like the one I've got) but he has yet to post it (hint, nudge).

These are suggestions for polishing. Something I always take great pains to work out is wording. Typically, less is more.
Could re-word the Fozzie bit as: "I asked out a lollipop lady, but had to call it off on account of her boyfriend. He had me well and truly licked." Or something like...
And they re-used that same bit in the Petula Clark opening titles.
Glad to have finally found out what the heck that was supposed to be in the Alan Arkin opening titles, I couldn't really tell. I still can't tell about the Cheryl Ladd opening titles Gonzo horn bit either. Anyone else have...
Who has kids?
Btw, Bill Baretta IS married. He said at MuppetFest that he based Pepe off of his wife's aunt Maria Teresa (apparently every Spanish family has at least one Maria Teresa, so says Bill).

Wow, so these must've been pretty early, circa '73-'75 (I would've guessed late 70s, don't know why). I didn't realize that SS developed that quickly, having never seen any of the episodes from before I was born ('82). But, considering how TMS developed in five years, I shouldn't be surprised...
Actually, I would just have Deadly saying "Curses, foiled again!" Red Baron would probably be a caucasian Whatnot with added red facial hair.

Well, we never saw him eat any guest stars. It was implied that he ate Sandy Duncan, and he and DogLion tried to eat Cloris Leachman. Nothing other than that off the top of my head. Suffice it to say, if you're a blonde, beware.
