    We Need Another Movie

    Jim Lewis is, to me, sort of the successor to Jerry Juhl in terms of Muppet writers when it comes to movies - he really seems to have a lot of Jerry's sensibilities in terms of not just the characters, their personalities, and their interplay, but also the right balance of humor, heart, and...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4709 - Norbert's Birthday

    Yeah, but what I'm saying is that Norbert was a completely random character that we've never seen before, whereas other characters like Gabi and Miles we knew assisted Alan on occasion, including running the store while he's away, so they didn't really require any explanation.

    Happy Birthday Old Thunder!

    Not exactly metal, but here's a couple of rockin' songs for the occasion!

    New puppet build!

    Haha! I love how he has one big eye and one little eye - both of which are out of focus! The smoldering cigar and beer bottle are a nice touch, too!

    The Random Call Out Thread!

    I know what you mean. I wasn't until after the fact that I noticed a majority of characters I created were female - it was never intentional, but I suppose in a way, I was consciously trying to remedy the age-old problem of lack of positive female characters in fiction. I don't know. But your...

    Sesame Street Season 47 Episode 4709 - Norbert's Birthday

    Alan and Chris are away so a random character that we've never seen before is watching the store for them? At least when Natalie Portman filled in for Alan, we saw him put the want-ad in the paper and her applying for the job. Not that I don't like Norbert - Marty can make a piece of wood an...

    Happy Birthday Marty!

    Hope you have a bubblin' good time for your birthday today!

    When you need to rant...

    Well, since my YouTube, Facebook, and everything is associated with my Gmail account, I tried to change my Yahoo! email on Blogspot to my Gmail address, but it wouldn't let me saying you couldn't use a Gmail address with Blogspot, so go fig.

    When you need to rant...

    Well I had been using Yahho! since . . . 2002? 2003? Maybe? Mainly for email as well, but for a while from like 2009 to maybe 2011 or so, I was also using Y!M on a weekly basis, then other people stopped using that altogether, and I think it was a year or two later that I sucked it up and got...

    For when you're feeling down...

    Holy crap, here's a video that was lost to the perils of copyright for several years, but has since made a triumphant return! Possibly one of the most random and non-sensical mashups ever:

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've often wondered about that myself, and I really have a feeling his sentiments would be similar to what Joey's is of the show now, in that it lost its heart and soul. And what about the changes made to the set recently? I have a feeling he'd like that Hooper's Store has been retroactively...

    The New New Quote Thread

    "If you deny something, then immediately follow with the words "but," or, "however," you are basically justifying what you were just denying." ~ Me, I just now made that up

    We're still on that reality = pessimism bandwagon?

    Songs You Can't Stand

    That song sounds like he's trying to rip off Uncle Kracker's "Follow Me." The refrain from both songs (as well as the vocals) sound almost identical.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Well, streaming and such can take up a lot of space (and memory) on your hard drive, thus bogging down your computer (that is if you're using a computer to stream). Not to mention, you have to have a reliable internet connection to stream, which some people out there don't have the luxury of.

    Let's Take a Stand:The Muppet Show Season 4 and 5

    Mainly it's because they're lazy. They don't want to have to do all of the work of pulling a DVD off a shelf, inserting it into a player, skipping through trailers and promos, and navigating through menus to get to what they want to watch. But even streaming has drawbacks too, namely. . . ...

    When you need to rant...

    Apparently thunderstorms are now grounds for early dismissal, or completely closing school altogether. Are you froggin' kidding me?! When I was in school, we went on days when the skies were black, when winds were hurricane force, when rains were torrential, when lightning was like a...

    The Muppets: Originals vs Recasts

    I know what you mean, for a while, Caroll was considering Noel MacNeal to be his Big Bird understudy, and while I'm sure Noel could certainly pull off a physically demanding character like Big Bird (considering he was Bear, after all), apparently he just couldn't get the voice just right. Then...
