Yup, I've seen it before, it's great! It's available at The Museum of TV and Radio (now the Paley Center of Media). I loved seeing the puppeteers interacting with each other. "We get to do what everyone else wants to do and that's act crazy. Except we get paid to do it!" ;) Richard Hunt

Yeah I missed it too, very nice! Yes it is more like the Elmo of the '80s who wanted to be like all the older characters, which is great. :) Don Music has problems with his anger, yes! I love his sketches but I sometimes wish they'd spelled it out a bit more. That he didn't know how to handle...

Wow, that is surprising! Well here's hoping the first is successful (still extremely over due!).

Heheh, today must be our lucky day! I could wait to show this later since Richard's birthday is in a month, but you never know with these youtube Sesame Street clips! http://youtube.com/watch?v=cbnHqVg3noM http://youtube.com/watch?v=cLvH7ZqZk18 My personal favorite moments: 1. When Miles...

Well it's a little different. Leave it to Beaver was on TV before the big discovery that linked cigarettes to cancer. Everyone smoked, it was normal. This Truth commercial was complaining that tobacco companies promised not to market to kids after the discovery, yet they were still placing...

I just found the CD soundtrack for Follow That Bird at the bookstore recently. I didn't even know it was available! I'm so happy! :) It's a great movie of course, wonderful story and the music is lovely. What I love most is how all the actors, puppets and humans, take it so seriously. It...

The animated FR was cute, I saw a lot of it as a child. Not as good as Muppet Babies. Muppet Babies was a different interpretation on the Classic Muppets, plus it had all the pop culture references and live action footage. Very ambitious and creative. The Fraggle Rock cartoon was more of a copy...

No sorry, I wasn't referring to you. :) And it's true, people will often listen if you're frank and candid and don't nag. I was just venting my frustration in general at the idea that you can't tell people your opinion without fear of offending them. Especially when it comes to things like...

Yeah it's true, the topic is supposed to be about cartoons and smoking, hehe. You can't force your beliefs on people, definitely. I say all the time, if you're too judgemental or nasty, people will just walk away. People will find a way to smoke if that's what they want to do. People are very...

I agree that the goal shouldn't be just to lose weight. It does upset me when these so called "health shows" only focus on that. What's most important is being active so you turn fat into muscle and burn calories. There is a problem with obesity in the country, that is a fact. There are some...

Ah, yes that's true. An artist's ability to draw isn't being hindered and that's good. Though some argue that being told you may not get a distributor pretty much amounts to censorship, just indirectly. Btw, I also wish they'd bring back the "knowing is half the battle" stuff on TV. Maybe it...

Oh no! Dirth Nader!

Oh yeah...that's right! I forgot about that, thanks! That was such a great idea, the way the different Chimpmunks interacted with the different Daves. The modern chimpmunks made fun of the old music and Dave's outfit. And the older chimpmunks were shocked by Walkmans and the fact that they were...

I've only so far read the books after seeing the corresponding movies. Obviously the books are better, more complete and complex. But I have enjoyed the movies thus far. Movies are extremely limited in what they can do and have to try and bring out the best of the story. That's interesting...

Some people make it about being pretty and thin, and that's wrong. People shouldn't be made to feel like losing weight will make their problems go away. It disturbes me the shallow attitude our society and media has now. But eating better should be about prolonging your life. And it is...

Happy Birthday, Dave! Gonzo was always my favorite as a child. Keep it weird! :concern:

Aw thanks, I'm glad you guys liked the sentiment! Actually yeah, I can hear a bit of George there too! Don't worry about missing Trading Places, it's on Comedy Central ALL THE TIME! lol. I would keep an eye on the TV Guide. And seeing Harry Potter is a good excuse. I saw it this weekend...

Thanks, ilikemuppets! Yes MN, they do sound uncannily like the real Beatles! And it's even the kind of song you'd expect from them. Hmm, personally I think he sounds like John. ::shrugs:: Either way, I adore this song! ::swoon:: hehe Oh look, TRADING PLACES is on! Comedy Central, just...

I try to occasionally mention to my friends that they should quit. There's a fine line, you don't want to bug them too much. But then again, it is their life we're talking about. And sometimes they're happy to know I care.

Ah, I'm not that familiar with the individual episodes, though I admire the show (NOT the movie). I imagine it's rare for people not to get the habit. And even if you don't, it still puts people at greater risk of health problems.
