We've got two different threads dedicated to ranting about stupid, annoying, and downright disturbing commercials, so we might as well offer up a counterthread for the discussion of commercials that are actually good, such as this one I saw today: And look: hardly a negative comment!

Stumbled onto this when trying to watch some clips of THE CHRISTMAS TOY online: Now, I've never heard of this guy before, or seen any of his reviews, but right off that bat, something didn't seem right: for starters, he mentions in the description this is one of the worst Christmas specials...

It just struck me that during the televisual timeline during the closing of THE STREET WE LIVE ON, a clip of David, Olivia, and a Fat Blue AM singing "People in Your Neighborhood" is used for 1974, yet I can't recall ever seeing this: not on YouTube (either on SW's channel, or a fan uploading)...

You've really been an excellent addition to the forum, and I hope that you have a fantastic day today full of bacon-scented detergent and fabric softener!

I found a site that carries Mongolian sheepskin fur - which is always so hard to come by - called Big Z Fabrics. Has anybody here ever done business with them, or can comment on the quality of their fabric? Their prices seem just slightly cheaper than fabric.com, but considering they're in Los...

I found this listing for a Zoe PVC figurine on eBay today, but it seems a little sketchy to me: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sesame-Street-Zoe-2010-pvc-figure-2-1-4-/252319337524?hash=item3abf678c34:g:de0AAOSwh-1W5cdC Granted, it's a good-looking figurine, very accurate to the character and all...

This time, XENA: THE WARRIOR PRINCESS is being rebooted. Not surprising in this day and age of rehashes, reboots, remakes, and so on and so forth, because we all know Hollywood is out of original ideas, but here's the thing: you know the main reason why Xena is getting a reboot? Just so they...

I know there are a lot of people out there who feel like Elmo "took over" SST, but this article actually kind of takes the situation and puts it into perspective a bit: http://kotaku.com/how-elmo-ruined-sesame-street-1746504585 Admittedly though, I got about halfway through actually reading...

http://metv.com/stories/a-1965-issue-of-boys-life-magazine-envisioned-1990-and-got-it-spectacularly-wrong 1990 aside, it seems like just about everybody back then figured we'd be living in a Jetsons-esque space age by the turn of the millennium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Music_Live! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan_Live! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wiz_Live! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease:_Live So, can I just ask: what did we do to deserve this? I thought the musical hype was finally dying down now...

So apparently there's a search engine that I've never heard of before that recently launched a new feature that allows people to hack into other people's webcams and security cameras and such...

There's plenty of resources out there for patterns regarding rod puppets, but not so much glove puppets, other than one diagram I see floating around for "sag body" puppets (ala Cookie Monster or Rowlf). Does anybody here have any resources or patterns for more humanoid glove puppets like Ernie?

Actor and business tycoon Wayne Rogers passed away today from complications from pneumonia. When it comes to M*A*S*H, I admit that I'm among the minority who prefered B.J. to Trapper, mainly because it's clear the writers didn't do much to expand on and develop Trapper into a character beyond...

http://www.nbc.com/superstore Why? Why do we need to have another sitcom that's "THE OFFICE meets. . . ."? When is this trend going to end? The format is played, it's played, enough is enough already. And why does this one have to be "meets FAMILY GUY"? Is comedy officially dead? Oh, and...

But . . . www.mousemingle.com Really? I know we've made jokes about there needing to be a dating site for Muppet Freaks, but this is going a bit too far.

http://www.metv.com/stories/11-fictional-holidays-from-tv-you-can-celebrate-in-real-life Three of which are Muppetational holidays at that.

http://www.hollywood.com/tv/great-tv-shows-with-puppets-that-werent-the-muppets-60438063/ Last time I checked, Fraggles were Muppets, unless they legally have to be refered to as "The Jim Henson Company Puppets" now.

Exactly how long does it take this stuff to dry before you can start putting foam pieces together? Seems like everybody always say let it dry for "a few minutes," but how long is "a few minutes"? I imagine results wouldn't be satisfactory if you let it dry too soon or even too long.

Okay, I found some pics of the Canadian Muppets from SESAME PARK, they're apparently on display in a museum, and there's something that stuck me as curious, I'm hoping some of the pro puppet builders here can help me out with; check out these two photos in particular, given how clear cut they...

And when I say "interesting," I mean that in the insincere-yet-polite/backhanded sense of the word. But anyshoe, I've seen this video on YT before, and thought I'd share it here - not necessarily as a reference for puppet builders to actually use, but just for puppet builders to take a gander...
