    Oh Boy... Leno's at it again...

    Well, he doesn't even DO anything on SNL anyway (Weekend Update aside).

    Round Nose Pattern

    Well, it's felt... it's kind of give or take. But I kind of remedies the situation myself... I observed the details of some of my SST and Muppet plushies, and saw some of the rounder noses have four seams in them (except for Bert, he only had one at the bottom), so I cut four darts into the...

    Round Nose Pattern

    That method, yes, I usually do that when fabricating the puppet's foam structure, but I don't really have anything like that to use for the nose, just stuffing; and I've tried adding and taking away stuffing, but the results are pretty much the same, I'm afraid. :smirk:

    Round Nose Pattern

    Could somebody possibly show me an example of what a pattern would look like for the fabrication of a round nose (like Ernie or Grover or characters like that)? I actually tried following the instructions from an old McCall's SST hand puppet pattern, which basically had a pattern for a large...

    When you need to rant...

    Yeah, back in the old days on the old forum, we had that three smiley per post limit, so I don't blame people for feeling their oats when it comes to using more than three. Well, in posts yes, in signatures... eh, maybe not so much, but still...

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    This is exactly why when I'm asked who my target audience is when pitching shows, I say I have no target audience. I want everyone to watch. :p

    What made you think today?

    Wow... I never realized that Kristen Wiig sings just as bad as James Taylor.

    Increase in Commercial Television Puppetry

    I found the commercial I was talking about... and apparently, the puppet appears in others as well: They're funny, but I'm still not a fan of always relying on chromakey for full-bodied effects.

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    Considering that networks like NBC require too much control and ownership over the actual programming, and considering these network executives come and go all the time and never know for sure what they want - I'm game.

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    I was disgusted with the turn it took just in the second episode: the very first thing you see is a sex scene... that's ALL you see on TV anymore. It's CBS, they ALWAYS milk their shows for waaaaay more than they're worth.

    The "I Saw Something REALLY Weird Today" Thread

    I think the weather is a month late of something: it's been raining an awful lot this past week or so... it's like April Showers was delayed until May or something.

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    It's RULLY disturbing some of the shows featuring old people that are on TV these days... Ashton Kutcher's apparently producing a reality show for TV Land about old ladies dressing like twentysomething hookers.

    BOO! The "What Scared You Today?" Thread

    Hahahaa! They had like a montage of people falling for that on AMERICA'S FUNNIEST HOME VIDEOS years ago... LAFFED MY CABOOSE OFF!!!

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    That should totally be a meme. A nickel for everytime you've said that....

    Weird School Assignments

    I think we did the persuasive commercial assignment too, only the main subject of the assignment was social satire.

    NBC cancels "Whitney"

    I honestly didn't understand why they renewed WHITNEY for a second season anyway, nobody had anything positive to say about the first season, everybody claimed it was a female SEINFELD wanna be. And weren't they supposed to cancel COMMUNITY too? I thought I heard they were ending it.

    Ugliest International Sesame Street Muppets

    That's exactly what I said twelve posts ago.

    More scandal rocking Sesame Street: Roscoe Orman leaves ex

    Has ANYBODY heard ANYTHING about Dr. Loretta Long's book? It's been, what, three or four years since some of us (including myself) submitted our "Susan Stories" to be included in her book?

    RIP Lena Horne

    Or "How Do You Do?" with Grover. I also remember the episode of SANFORD AND SON where Fred made a bet with his buddies that he could get her to drop by their house, so he snuck into her dressing room while she was appearing on a local NBC show, and got her to drop by by convincing her that...
