How anybody can possibly like someone as stuck-up, bigoted, and totally devoid of anything remotely resembling a sense of humor as Sam the Eagle is beyond my understanding.
::holds up peace...
1. Jim Henson's death, no two ways about it.
2. The dumbing-down of Seseme Street. We grew up with the harder stuff, and we're just fine! Um, right?
3. Character turnover: The older characters we know and love being shoved to the back burner in favor of the newer ones. I mean...
I was catching up on old threads...
...and I couldn't resist replying to this one.
Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Richard Hunt, et. al. would be puppets controlled by Kermit, Piggy, Fozzie, etc.
Hey, it's not too late to reply to this, is it? Too bad, I'm replying anyway!
I think the Muppet that scared me the most as a kid would be that Don Music fellow. I figured the only reason he took his frustration out on himself was because no one else was in reach. And that, given the...
A few come to mind:
1. I'm in a store looking at Muppet plush dolls. I see one of them is Sam the Eagle. I think to myself, "Those idiots, don't they know they're going to lose money on such a lousy character?!" Then it went on to something about a building that was a cross between a...
I was reading "Seseme Street Unpaved", and the mention of the Muppet characters' official birthdays had me curious: Do the classic Muppets have birthdays too? If so, what are they?
I seem to recall a website that included birthdays in their very detailed Muppet bios, but I forgot what/where...
Heh! I'm American through and through. It's a darned nice country. And I do like it here.
But Sam is unable to comprehend that America and its people just might be imperfect or that there are other perfectly fine countries out there. I believe that's called "bigotry".
He's also the...
Well, I *would* add to that particular thread, but it seems to me that I'm a couple of years too late.
Anyway, the dumbest individual SS skit to memory is the one with the orange singing Carmen's "Habanera". What was the deal with that one? What was it trying to teach? This is an...
--the MS episode with the glue; Rowlf and the saxophone player (Zoot? Is that his name?) were playing a duet and got stuck to their respective instruments. Zoot(?) trying to talk with his lips glued to the sax was hilarious!
--Sam w/ Zero Montel ("Yeah! Do it, Zero, DO IT! Hammer that...
Hellow everybody! Longtime lurker here, just now stepping out of the shadows.
Like most folks, my Muppet experience began with Seseme Street about when I was taking my first steps. I found the Muppet Show a few years later during my preteen years and had a blast watching it. I got to see...
