Not really, this is how modern entertainment works. ABC wanted the show to have mainstream appeal, so they brought in writers from other mainstream sitcoms to try and apply formulas their other sitcoms to the show so it will fit in with the zeitgeist of today's modern television landscape, which...
Nothing I saw, mind you, however I do believe I had another spooky visitor last night. As I was sleeping (why do they always strike when I'm sleeping?), I sensed someone was pulling at the fan next to my bed, like they were trying to pull it apart or something - but the really weird part about...
I've absolutely basked in the gloriousness of this first week of September not only being normal, but being below average . . . I haven't been this happy in a long time, lol.
The current fall outlook is projecting September will continue to be significantly below average this year (we too have...
I was watching a bunch of deleted scenes from "The Finale," and they were all quite interesting: seeing Newman try to schmooze his way into having Keith Hernandez share his hotel room with him (hence why he's seen sleeping in a car); Uncle Leo and Babs Kramer getting friendly with each other...
Like Schfifty, I too only remember the first edition of Kid Pix; one of my favorite features was the video postcards:
Speaking of sound effects, there was always one particular sound effect from Kid Pix I honestly thought sounded like Big Bird - see if you don't think the same:
(at the 1:53 mark)
Not really. It's a common cycle on YouTube: people upload videos, the videos get nuked for copyright, other people who downloaded the original videos will reupload them, the reuploads eventually get nuked for copyright as well, then other people re-reupload them again, then the re-reuploads get...
Sheesh. What, are they on a blitzkrieg or something?
And am I imagining things, or are they targeting you specifically? Because I don't see anyone else's uploads disappearing nearly as much as yours have; much of Sesame Maniac/hooperfan's stuff is still up as far as I can see, same with others...
It's not that people prefer nostalgia over originality, it's that the big wigs of Hollywood don't want to take a risk on investing in something original and have it flop and be all for naught; they'd rather play it safe and rehash what's worked for them in the past.
What about Frank?
He allegedly felt the Muppets shouldn't have continued at all after Jim's death, and has rumored to have sworn to never perform Bert alongside anyone else's Ernie.
Wow, they're still doing the #SharetheLaughter challenge? This has been going on for a little while, but it's really been one of the more fun YouTube challenges.
Still, I'm blown away by almost exactly like Caroll Eric sounds as Oscar - I didn't think Oscar's would be an easy voice to recreate . . . I mean even though I'm used to Matt's Big Bird, I still think it sounds a little more like the transitional period Caroll went through in transforming Big...
Bill is really the only one who can really nail certain voices of Jim's, like the deep, raspy voice of Rowlf or Dr. Teeth. Eric, I felt, never really quite got the voice right for Guy Smiley - it sounds a little too much like an excitable version of his Bert/Fozzie voice. Likewise, Steve's...
True. Like more recently:
STEVE HARVEY: Give me a word that comes after "pork."
COUSIN ELMER: "Upine!"
STEVE HARVEY: Huh?
COUSIN ELMER: "Upine!"
STEVE HARVEY: (Derp face)
AUNT ANNIE: GOOD ANSWER! GOOD ANSWER!
But I don't think anything can top the Richard Dawson era of when Dickie asked...
Yup, Season 30 introduced us to a number of new recurring segments - this and Monsters in Day Care are perhaps the most prominent examples I can think of.
