Happy be-lated birthday, Karen! I missed the banner unfortunately, but maybe the character was the girl from Ghost of Faffner Hall.

I like the running gag of the bed going back up into the wall and that exact same lightbulb falling out, it never gets old! lol I also liked the part where Kermit is trying to convice the gang to stop the bad guys from stealing the fabulous baseball diamon (ha ha) and they all have an excuse...

I used to have the kiddie book version of Great Muppet Caper, I REALLY wish I still had that!

Lol, riiiiiiight. Hehe, that's ok, it's hard to keep track of who's saying what sometimes. Thanks for the sentiment. ;) I know how you feel, Muppet Newsgirl. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time, it's really better to get it all done at once. I wasn't knocked out but it...

Right that was me, :) thanks Skye

Yeah that was interesting, hearing a Scooter-type voice coming from Crazy Harry's mouth!

Well Carl and Dennis Wilson are deceased. Brian Wilson isn't big on touring. And I believe Al Jardine was in a bit of a conflict with Michael Love and formed his own Beach Boys group. Don't know much about that though.

I saw Mike and Bruce on stage as the Beach boys too, I'm glad you liked it. John Stamos wasn't at the show I saw though. I used to have a crush on him when he was on Full House hehe.

Since we're briefly talking about other famous people, I just got to attend a Lord of the Rings convention today and got to speak with my favorite hobbit, Billy Boyd (Pippin). Hehe! I'm still in shock that it happened, it was fun. :) There was also an auction going on with some of Billy's...

At the time, there would have been no distinction between the good guys or the bad guys smoking. It was something everyone did. It wasn't a sign that the person was bad. If a little boy from 1940 smoked, he'd be trying to act like a tough adult, going out and partying. So it would be...

Thanks for the clip, I didn't know it was on youtube. I love the part when Kermit says, "AAAAA-klahoma, you said AAAA-klahoma!!!!"

Just pointing out that Jerry Nelson is in the front with Floyd Pepper. Fran Brill can be seen too (don't remember what puppet she has). And like I said before, I believe Richard was working Crazy Harry. :crazy: And I think the blue shirt and black jeans are correct. I love the '70s clothes...

Well partially because magicians are traditionally male and they have "lovely female assistants."

I agree, a lot of pop culture, especially today, is garbage. I don't just mean what's "cool" right now, I mean anything related to art and entertainment can be pop culture. It's really the difference between good writing and bad writing. The old Muppets made pop culture references that are a...

Yup! Until we all have children at some point, then we can buy them and raise their value. Just like my Dad bought me Rocky and Bullwinkle!

I just think just because something is mainly meant to be entertaiment doesn't mean it can't be educational too. Experts always said Television by its very nature as a medium is entertainment. As for pop culture, I've thought this so many times, kids can't grow up only be exposed to things in...

I definitely agree with that. They were unique like he was. I think he must have put a lot of himself in his characters. I think the first thing I ever read about Richard was something Kevin Clash said in Sesame Street Unpaved, "Richard's characters were very loud and very direct and very...

I think those shows are educational in the ways of culture in their references, which is always useful. Kids need to be exposed to art and literary and pop culture references early. A lot of kids today don't know very basic literary references because no one told them. And since they don't know...

I used to watch Pinwheel, Today's Special, The Elephant Show and David the Gnome all the time. They were great. Even though at the age of four I could tell Pinwheel was something of a poor man's Sesame Street, lol. Today's Special was so unusual. The character of Jeff was a mannequin who only...

Forgetful Jones plays a big part in The Sesame Street DVD "Play Along Games and Songs." I'd definitely recommend.
