I'm definitely going to say Gobo was the best singer. He never failed to deliver. But yes Wembley was lovely on "Free and High." You don't get to hear him sing like that very often. (Not to mention Richard playing the Spider fly, I didn't even recognize him at first!)

Actually, I've always seen the Christmas special as warm and nurturing. I don't see that on the show anymore now, at least not with any depth. That's the difference. There needed to be some kind of conflict in the Christmas show. And to me Oscar needs an edge occasionally. It can't just be...

Yeah sorry there's only like two, hehe. :flirt:

Hmm, I could easily picture some crazy parody sitcom of the long suffering grouchy realist Oscar having to live with silly, irresponsible Ernie and boring yet obsessive Bert. Next to them Oscar might end up looking normal. Possibilities...lol

I mean it's hard to put another character with B&E. They work so well together. When you have a successful duo, almost anyone else just becomes a third wheel. :( :p :grouchy: ???? Hehe

Heh, yeah that's interesting, I can't really picture them together. Probably because it was rarely done. But it is interesting to speculate about these things. :)

Well yes, it would be good to say The Muppets are made for and desired by both kids and adults. Either way the company would benefit. Because either way, it's the adults paying for the merchandise. ;)

I think if kids do know about them, it's mainly because their parents (or sometimes schools/summer camps) take the time to introduce it to them. Sort of a grass roots movement thing, heh. It would be nice if the major companies took notice though!

Personally, I think that all this time, Snuffy had been his special best friend. Something only he knew about. It was the way his life had always been and it wasn't all bad, despite not being believed. But now that part of his life was ending. It would never be the way it was before. Also he'd...

That's not a bad idea, PBS doesn't generally do stuff for kids on weekend mornings I believe. I really don't think kids would mind the inconsistencies too much as long as it's entertaining. Still, it would be cool for parents and kids to compare if confusion comes up.

Well good luck with the interview! And at least it's lighter earlier. ;)

Oh I love retrojunk, especially the commercials!

Yeah it does seem that way. The entire pop culture is about throwing the old away. If that keeps up, we won't have anything left worth preserving. It will be all about the flavor of the moment. And it's a myth that kids don't know about or appreciate older SS. I've read and seen too much to...

Probably the '80s episodes match better with the current ones as far as appearance. They could mix them up with some thought. Though, even the '70s ones could work too occasionally, especially when the audience keeps coming in all the time, completely new to the show. Kids that age don't sit...

Happy B-day! And good for you for mentioning it. Some people would feel uncomfortable doing so, but sometimes you have to mention that it's your birthday for people to notice. :)

Interestingly, Follow That Bird was from 1985, and was very successful. And even kids today enjoy watching it. They don't turn if off because it's not 'modern.' Just look at Amazon.com's reviews. ;)

I'm all for putting more classic sketches into the show. But I also wouldn't mind if someone else had to take over, if they did a good job.

I've heard that argument before, that the show peaked when the adults saw Snuffy. My opinion was that it was a positive step for them to see him, the whole "let's not believe Big Bird" thing was too upsetting. Of course the show lost something, that will always happen. Big Bird's line about "I...

I didn't see it before unfortunately. But I loved Doc's little speech. Poor Sprocket! "I don't believe a word of it, I've never seen a Fraggle, have you?"

Totally tubular, dude! Lol
