Agreed, I'm glad the PBS point was clarified, but we should all be respectful. :)

Glad you're relieved, hehe.

I don't want to go too much off topic, hehe, but I think it's especially hard being an individual as a child. It gets easier as you get older because you get to meet a more varied group of people. Of course, even then, being yourself is never easy, it does take strength. But in the end, I'd...

Wow, that is all interesting! Heh, guess you didn't mess with Captain Kangeroo back in the day! :)

Thanks! Well, I do think parents want their kids to be happy. Which is good, of course. Life can be very hard for a kid who doesn't fit in. But I do think parents often spend too much time encouraging their kids to be "normal" and not encouraging individuality and strength of character. And...

Good point. Personally I think it's because society does not have its priorities in order. They are so concerned about being "oh-so-careful" about silly PC things, that they are not noticeing the real problems creeping in. Plus, I think part of being "oh-so-careful" is learning to follow the...

Lol, yes our apologies, Scooter! Not only are you a human Muppet, you're a mature, grown up, cute only in a teenager-ey way Muppet. ;) Scooter did have a couple interesting moments with Robin and Bean Bunny. When they all had to dress fancy for Rudolph Nureyev, Scooter complains to Kermit...

Ohhhh, The Peace Carol! http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nm7PxV5Uf3E Merry Christmas! ;) Another thing I like about the photo is that he doesn't look miserable, though he'd have every right to. He manages to smile even in such a trying time. I'm not sure I could do that, but then again, perhaps...

Well, it's like the lyric "where the air is sweet." Obviously the air is not so sweet in the real NYC! Lol But on Sesame Street, it is. :) That being said, there probably was more suggestion of cars and traffic in the early days. There's a quote a former Sesame Street puppeteer wrote on the...

You know I always want to include Scooter in this "cute wars", lol. Except that he's at that age where he no longer wants to be cute! ;)

Personally, I think senioritis starts Senior year of High School and then never really leaves! Lol I think that's one of the reasons Richard never drifted too far from the Muppets. As I said before, where else do you get to play an opera singing pig alongside Beverly Sills?

Definitely Robin the Frog, he doesn't even have to try. Bean Bunny is a bit too egotistical lol (But they're both good :) )

"Coming apart at the seams..." Hmm, rather symbolic! I agree, it's probably academic stress. I've often found your mind tends to mix familiar scenarios all together in dreams in order to make a point. Hope the stress eventually gets better! And remember, the quilt made it safely to its...

I don't feel all that sorry for them. I know they get pressure from all sides, and that can be very difficult. But they have clearly rearranged their priorities, to the detrament of their audience. This image of children as angelic little beings...any kid who was teased and ostracized in...

I do think there are obvious things that should be improved upon with kids that are barely being addressed. Video games in themselves aren't bad, but kids are positively addicted to them. In a similar way, I agree with the experts who say 1 and 2 is way too young to be benefitting from TV...

Exactly, someone would still have to actually put together the compilation. I know strikes can be a pain, but I'm generally all for them. Workers do need to be heard. :sing:

Also, I think that post order problem is happening again. I posted in a thread awhile ago, but now all the newer posts are all being placed before it.

The only thing I would agree with is the pipe. Beyond that, I think we desperately need many of the values we had years ago, in place of the things that pace for morality in our culture now. But disclaimers like that make anything old seem irrelevant and best forgotten. It's not going to help in...

Yeah my time is definitely an hour behind

Cool, MN, have a good time! Hope you do get to see St. John's. ;) Ok, awhile ago I read that a November 1992 issue of Entertainment Weekly did a feature on "The Faces of AIDS" and they did include Richard. It's really easy to get back issues. I emailed customer service and they give you the...
