    Questions about anything

    Do live action TV shows ever go through song-replacements on DVD like animated series seem to?

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    I'm not downplaying anyone's talent, I'm just saying that it seems like connections were at play here, and that doesn't seem fair to those who don't have Henson or such under their belts... I mean, if there are those who have already worked with Henson before, they should be familiar enough with...

    Yeah, I don't really think that's very fair myself, but eh, whatever. Still interesting to read about though.

    TV Tropes

    I haven't come across a lot of that yet, but basically, much of what I've read about Off Model pretty much refers to exactly that... look at the pages for, say, COW AND CHICKEN (okay, admittedly, I added those), RECESS, or the 1987 TMNT cartoon, they pretty much list specific episodes, or even...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Hey, a lot of "bad" movies were given and are being given sequels. *Shrug*

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    So some people who actually have worked for Henson before were selected? I guess some connections were involved after all.

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    Probably because it's a blatant ripoff of GLEE (seriously, everybody knows it)... that, and apparently Rebel Wilson is a big (no pun intended) star now that she has her own show on ABC, so that probably has something to do with it... I'm pretty sure NPH is the main and only reason we had THE...

    West Nile, Swine Flu, Meningitis, and Sequelitis

    I know this is a pretty pointless question for me to even be asking... but why do we need PITCH PERFECT 2? Why?

    MIA: Hubert

    I think you probably would fit in better now... since there's really nothing going on there anymore, everybody's kind of lapses into a sense of deranged pleasure... heck, we recently had an RP going on where Bailey the butler turned out to be a child molester, and ended up being hunted down...

    MIA: Hubert

    Well now, much of the Elwood City Central community is putting a request to the server to have the entire forum shut down altogether since Hubert isn't there to take care of things: there's a troll over there who won't go away (though admittedly, a lot of the others are feeding him, thus giving...

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    I must confess, I'm surprised Ryan/Prawnie didn't get in. I wasn't aware he also sent in a submission, but they always say connections are one of the only ways you can make it in this business, and considering he runs the Mindset, he's certainly loaded with connections. Then again, that's really...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    I agree, that did seem like a contradition that didn't quite make sense. Not to mention, even then, there was the Swedish Chef and such, so it's not like Jim wouldn't have not been performing regularly on the show in some capacity, or another. After having finished the book, I was so choked up...

    Got a response from the Sesame Puppeteer Workshop...

    The only ones I'm aware of that even got in are this James Kemp fellow, and my friend Brittany, other than that, everybody else I know of got the same rejection notice.

    Questions about anything

    Because the performers weren't seen on-screen, but still deserve credit anyway. They did the same thing on those Krofft-produced variety shows like DONNY AND MARIE or THE BRADY BUNCH VARIETY HOUR, whenever their costumed/puppet characters would make appearances: "Also appearing in tonight's cast...

    See, that time, I was being tongue-in-cheek. :p Otherwise, that's just it - platonic's really the only word for it. "Bromance" is another example of today's annoying slang.

    Questions about anything

    Hey, yeah. Heck, when I was a kid in school, the popular songs on the radio contained lyrics like, "Even when you lick my boob", and "We were both butt naked, bangin' on the bathroom floor"... and we were hearing this stuff on the bus... and we always had to double up on buses, so we shared our...

    Super Bowl XLVIII: Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks

    Six years ago, the M*A*S*H finale was still the most-watched program in television history. Now, with these past five Super Bowls, it's not even in the top five anymore. Buh.

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    Finished the book this afternoon (I see that it's not so much 600 pages, because the last hundred of pages or so are basically just notes and acknowledgements). The last chapter was really difficult to read, especially when it went into the details of Jim's symptoms, as well as the details of...
