I'm not sure where you'd find them (possibly ebay) but there's a couple books that compile these strips. They were published in the early to mid 1980s. I have one called "Froggy Mountain Campout" or something like that at my parent's house. I can't remember the exact title. Anyone have more...

That's awesome, but... I'm assuming this is a UK-only deal. Other than the site you mentioned, I haven't seen anything else about it anywhere (except a few UK DVD sites). I'd think the marketing push would have gotten to some mainstream outlets by now. That's too bad because I love it...

My assumption was that they were female too, but I guess I never really thought about it. They kind of act as back-up singers which I generally identify as females (especially w/ a male lead). Good question though...

That's really good. I wish I had your consistency, Ryan. Running is long-time passion of mine and it's always great to hear others enjoy it. Keep it up!! I've just started getting back into regular running after being fairly sporadic with it over the past year (I ran competitively in...

Dr. Tooth is right--that is a ridiculous rumor. Isn't the whole point of the character that kids identify with his love for cookies? I said it before (in response to the McDonald's/Nader thing) but Sesame Street, McDonald's, and any other fast food restaurant aren't responsible for what kids...

Well, the producers know what they're talking about--that skit scared me as a kid. Actually, I know a lot of other people were are afraid of that skit too. The skit takes place obviously in an old, dark Egyptian tomb. All I remember is Bert looking around and opening up a coffin and...

I'm assuming a big part of it is the price Henson (or whoever owns the show's rights) charges for the episodes. Common sense seems to indicate that if the price were low enough SOME channel would pick it up. The shows have an established fanbase and there's definitely enough episodes. Cost...

Yeah, the "personality" sketches have gotten truly awful. I actually stopped watching on even a semi-regular basis when they brought out Goat Boy and Mary Catherine Gallagher EVERY WEEK a few years ago. Sure, they've been beating characters into the ground since the show's beginning, but now...

I don't think it's on anymore. I have Noggin, but haven't seen Sesame Unpaved listed in my cable company's schedule for several weeks.

John Denver is incredibly talented as a singer-songwriter. I grew up well after his "peak" in the 1970s but my parents were fans and I saw his work with the Muppets. From what I've read, he was the biggest country star of the 1970s and 1980s and his popularity easily crossed over into...

The only problem is that the citizens don't support public broadcasting enough. I guess I'd rather have corporations donate money to support the shows then not have the shows around at all. The chance to watch Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's, Reading Ranbow, etc growing up was definitely worth any...

Well, I highly doubt they are all off the air "forever." I'm sure some of these shows(if not all) will pop up on some cable channel eventually. First, there's plenty of cable channels that need to fill programming. Second, it's probably cheaper to rerun old shows then produce original...

This attack is ridiculous. Nader and the others should really find more urgent situations to protest than this. So, McDonald's gives some money to support a good cause and gets a smidgen of recognition for it--I don't see any problem with that. If McDonald's was simply interested in profits and...

Well, many other classic shows had Thursday time slots before Seinfeld and Friends. Cheers and The Cosby Show are two that come to mind. I think Frank Oz speaks on The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. He introduces one of the segments and talks about his friendship with Jim.

Well, I didn't see SNL tonight, but the show makes fun of EVERYTHING. That's just its style of humor. As you hinted at, they've spoofed dozens of other TV shows, commercials, and movies. They parodied Mr. Roger's Neighborhood in the 80's and it was one of their best recurring skits. I don't...

Here in Cincinnati, Noggin is part of the digital cable lineup on Time Warner cable. So, for an extra $10 per month on your cable bill you can get Noggin and 20+ other channels. I'm guessing it's the same in other major cities too. Too bad they don't show any of the older shows anymore though.

I had a deep-fried Twinkie in Las Vegas last year. It wasn't as gross as I thought it'd be, but I also woudn't care to try another one. A regular Twinkie would be better any day. I've never tried the other foods, but I'm sure I'll have the "opportunity" at the state fair some year. The...

I'm from Cambridge originally and went to college in Duluth. Hopefully, I'll be able to move back after grad school. I'll drop you an e-mail soon to get your address, etc (unless you find somone who can get you the tapes sooner). Have a good weekend!!

If you're willing to wait... I can get you a VHS copy but you'd have to wait a few months. All my tapes are back at my parent's house in Minnesota and I probably won't be home until Thanksgiving or Christmas. The tape quality might be suspect given it was recorded off the original airing almost...

Actually, she's the wife of Carolina Panthers quarterback Rodney Peete. As far as I know, they're still married. Jason Sehorn (now with the St. Louis Rams) is married to actress Angie Harmon (formerly of the TV show Law & Order). Just wanted to clear that up.
