I know this is an old thread now, but I just noticed this question and wanted to answer. One definion of a shill is a person working in an amusement park who advertises the attractions (just as Philo and Gunge advertise the Trash Heap to the Fraggles). Sometimes shills even disguise themselves...

John was flashier, that's all there is to it. Both Beatles were great, but it's annoying that George was always so overshadowed. But I also think his death isn't considered as tragic because a lot of people die of cancer. Unfortunately, it's normal. Whereas, being shot is not.

I certainly believe in real love. However, I don't believe in the idea that there's only one person in the entire world meant for you. Life isn't perfect, things happen, there will be disapointments. It doesn't mean your life is over and you'll never find someone new, who is just as good. In...

I totally agree! Trying to be hip and different has gotten them nowhere. And nostalgia is big right now. I mean, VH1 has done how many "I Luv the 70s/80s/90s" specials??? I think it says a lot that one of the few ways to see the classic Muppets nowadays, is through the eyes of original fans...

Personally, I see nothing wrong with the Muppets being nostalgia at this point, and wish the company would get more involved in that direction. People like nostalgia, they like passing it on to their children, it doesn't mean they're finished. I just doubt they'll ever be as good as they used...

The CD is available on barnesandnoble.com and it's not that expensive. :)

Lol, that happened to me the other day! Lol

I got to see Muppet Family Christmas last night, the first time in years! It's definitely one of those nearly perfect TV moments. The most touching part for me was when Kermit talked with Robin about Christmas and the holidays and said, "Life would just pass by in a blur if it weren't for...

Lol, oh now, don't go there, Ringo's a great drummer and awesome entertainer. He contributed so much to the Beatles' image. Without him, the band as a collective would have been very dull. And they needed him to keep them from grounded. :) And you're right, if the Beatles hadn't broken up, we...

Yeah, but a lot of experts agree John brought Yoko into the sessions partly because he knew it would cause trouble. I'm not saying Yoko was an innocent bystander, but the Beatles were already having problems. They had business issues that ended badly and George wasn't going to stand by and be...

Yes good review! Too bad it was a clip show (and too bad they saturated the show with Elmo's Christmas special.)

That's cool that you get to help with the music. I sang in the choir for awhile years ago. The music, if done well, can be such an important part of the service.

Awesome, MN! UPS is usually pretty reliable. Have you ever gone to a midnight Mass? We did once, it was difficult heh, and sort of surreal. Like we couldn't believe we were actually up that late! But it was still nice. ;)

The term "college" doesn't always mean for the ages of 18-21. In countries outside the U.S., college can be for younger people.

That's cool that you got them to watch something! Personally, if I were the kids I wouldn't have picked Muppet Christmas Carol. I remember watching it in school and being very bored. And that was the first time that ever happened with the Muppets. The kids probably picked it because it was one...

Well, it's an old argument, but I think the Beatles broke up the Beatles. It was going to happen sooner or later. Though, Yoko's presence didn't help he situation.

Yes, IAVMMC was sort of half and half. It still has the modern unfunny moments, but managed to sneak it some of the old magic.

I found all these old Christmas commericals on retrojunk.com. I love watching old commericals; they take to back to your childhood, they promote warm and fuzzy feelings (of course, that's what a commerical is trying to do!) I realized I had at least 25 commericals downloaded, so I made up a...

Yes, they probably make the most sense as bonus features. I just didn't want to dismiss them as commericals. :) Though I agree with that someone said before, if they advertised it as a Raven special, it would be sold out in a day!

Yes, I imagine Turbo was relieved to have the stress of leadership taken off him for awhile. There was probably so much pressure to be the best team, which was why he turned to flooping. Hehe, wow, we're taking this very seriously!
