Yup, I definitely remember Mac Tonight, awesome commericals, lol. He sang a version of "Mack the Knife", which was the reason the ads stopped airing (copyright and all heh). And that's true about lower income families, they don't have as many choices when it comes to food. I know when I'm sort...

I used to be terrified of Beaker, I got nervous everytime I saw him on the screen, lol. I think the long head looked kinda creepy (at least to me) and then also I think as a small child I was confused as to why he couldn't talk "properly." But I don't mind him as much now. In fact, a few...

Welcome back, Sarah! You're right, some actors are very skilled as singers, while others may not be as trained but can still give a grand performance. :) The more projects you watch the easier it does become to tell who is who. My friends used to be shocked that I could pick the performers...

Wow, I just saw this rather cute Christmas cartoon called "The Forgotten Toys." This doll and Teddy Bear get thrown out the day after Christmas to make room for the newer, more popular and modern toys. They try to think of ways to get their kids to like them again and the Teddy suggests they...

Agreed, sometimes it's not that a performer has a ton of voices, but that he/she can play a wide range of personalities. :)

Aww, well it happens to us all (if we are lucky! Lol) Btw, those were the actual advertising guys from the Wilson company in the film. In the other film that's not posted, you can see them pretending to threaten Jim at one point, lol.

And the fact is, political correctness and Stepford values have not fixed the world's problems. They just seem to add to them. While we're worrying about outdated clips and what Cookie Monster's doing, there are still disadvantaged children in this country, lack of education and motivation, and...

Well that is a good point and I don't dislike those men in particular; they are just actors and probably decent people in real life. But they are getting these appearances because people will recognize them from the show. Not to put them down, that's just a fact. The press release for the...

I personally find the Sopranos offensive. Not everyone does and I respect that. But I do and so do many others. Sesame Street is a show that always rejects negative stereotyping. We make it a rule in this country to not tolerate negative cultural stereotypes, and we shouldn't have double...

That's also why I'm hesitating (well that and the Sopranos). From my point of view, I can be a true Muppet fan by avoiding what I think departs from the spirit. (That is just my opinion and everyone else is free to think as they will of course :) ).

Wow I didn't know they'd even tried making a remake. Heh, remakes generally don't have great track records. Great job with the lyrics wwfpooh and Claudia! One thing I love about the Meiser songs are the little guys who come in to do the chorus, so funny, lol! It really takes me back now...

Oh I know, I just now rearranged my position at the computer! Lol And thanks for clarifying the name thing. ;) Frank Oz often said that for the Muppet to look good, the puppeteer needed to be uncomfortable, lol. In one appearance he did with Jim, Frank tried to demonstrate the typical...

Oh yeah you have to be careful when typing so much. Changing your positions occasionally when typing can help. I'm thinking of looking into therapy exercises. I do remember when you wrote that, MN! (Though I guess I can call you Erin now hehe. Yeah I'm weird lol). Similar things were said...

Lol, I've been watching that classic commerical a lot lately! Amazing, McDonald's commercials used to have nothing to do with the food. Just about the warm feeling you associated with the restaurant. That's what makes a good commerical, that when you think of a product, you associate it with a...

Lol, I'm not surprised the Krofft brothers sued! I wish I knew why McDonald's commericals have taken such a turn. There does seem to be a trend lately to make commericals, even kid's commericals, less "corny and cheesy." Which I think is a shame. Also, perhaps it's less expensive to do the...

The 23rd huh? Hmm...I'm probably going to be wondering until the last minute whether I'll tune in. Not trying to be a downer, but it is a conflict for me. I will think about it though. :)

Lol, brave, that's a good word. But yeah thanks, the Scooter cameo was awesome and the best thing in the movie from my pov. ;) Well, like I said, it wasn't as bad as MFS, but it didn't leave me with the warm fuzzies either. But I am glad I watched it, since you should know what you're talking...

Never got into the card game, but I really enjoy the original cartoon. I really love the theme of friendship between Yugi and Joey. And I was amazed at how much deeper and more thoughtful the Japanese version is. :)

Oh I know, Mickey Rooney's performance holds the whole special together, I can't imagine anyone else doing it. :) I never get tired of listening to the Snow and Heat Miser numbers, lol. I think I've nearly got them memorized now! :D

Very true, although the fact that one side is constantly bombing the other (and vice versa) probably doesn't make the kids sympathetic either. I guess they're hoping that a Sesame Street show will inspire the kids that there must be a better way to live.
