:confused: I didn't know about that. What happened exactly?

When it comes to political debates, it's always between a ****** and a turd. (South Park reference there :laugh:)

I was going to vote "Nothing" on this, but... I much preferred it when the show wasn't celebrity/pop culture heavy like it's become in recent years. I know that both of these things have been a tradition of Sesame Street since the beginning, but it seems like every episode nowadays needs to...

A promo for The Dinah Shore Show with Big Bird and Oscar, from 1977:

Big Bird on The Donny and Marie Show, 1977:

One more favorite to add to my list... Sigmund and the Sea Monsters.

Another reason why I'm happy I don't have a TV; so I don't get channels like E! where this kind of B-S is rampant. But people getting choked up over couples splitting up? I --- (shakes head, facepalm) No comment.

I guess, for children around the age of 5 or so, the best way to introduce them to The Muppets is through Sesame Street, obviously. But if your child is already familiar with Sesame Street, you can show them the "old school" seasons as well. It ought to bring up a fun discussion about the...

A sketch with Victor Borge and Oscar, from season 9:

I will say that, after reading the article, he does have a point there - about The Muppets not being as cutting edge as before. But I also have this to say to Oz, which I've brought up about a jillion times before: At least Disney didn't give us a live-action/CGI "satirical adaptation" of The...

...anyone who's not a pig (turns around) :mad: Oh...uh...hi there...I was just talking about you and, uh --- YIKE! (jumps up out of his desk and runs for the door with angry pig in pursuit)

I'm a Three Stooges fan as well. Of all the third stooges (Curly, Shemp, Curly Joe, and Joe Besser), Curly is my favorite. I haven't seen the new movie yet, but I have looked at some of the trailers, and from what I've seen, the actors did a pretty good job capturing the originals.

Another funny thing I remember doing as a kid was picking feathers out of a pillow, thinking I'd find some of Big Bird's feathers. :laugh:

It seems that there have been multiple variations of some of the Sesame Street Muppets. I'm not talking about the different incarnations that the characters underwent through the years, but rather, times when there was a copy or two (or more) of the character in addition to the standard model...

:halo:: Sorrr-ree! I, too, hope that they release the other Muppet movies (that Disney currently owns) on Blu-Ray, especially TMM and GMC - with more extras. Seeing that MCC, which is not my favorite of the Muppet movies, is getting the Blu-Ray release after MFS and MTM shows there's a good...

Obsession with llamas? Makes me wonder if Carl Wheezer started the whole trend... :laugh: There's a very obnoxious fad that's been going on in recent years. A fad so obnoxious, and so annoying that I'm too angry to even mention its title, especially when it trumped the Muppets at the box...

If cussing were allowed - uncensored - on this forum, I'd have a few words to say about that ************ Sorry, but I'm just so shocked and so outraged that this happened.

The one thing I don't get is...what is the banana sketch?

Actually, Floyd's name and outfit were both inspired by The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, hence his name Sgt. Floyd Pepper. The way he walks sometimes is based on R. Crumb. Zoot, I don't think he was based on anyone in particular , except that he is supposed to represent...

There's always going to be problems during production of a movie, television show, etc. This is nothing new, as anyone who's involved in this kind of work (myself included, kinda) will tell you this. Heck, there was some tension on the set of The Muppet Movie, apparently, according to Austin...
