    Anyone have favorite youtube musicians or people who make up skits, or whatever? I have to give a mention to Tay Zonday of "Chocolate Rain" fame!

    Baby Gonzo: "I'll Be Blue For You"

    This one really gets me - "amazing job" is an understatement when describing how well they get the emotion across in this - I'm moved to tears every time I see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDS4cQFPwoQ

    Mr. Hooper plays Pac-Man

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juH2qHYX9aI We can ignore the comments below the video on that page - some of them are VERY stupid. But that happens when it's not a fan base like this, gathering around the common interest (and even many times despite that - it's just that we have a great...

    TMS's US and UK skit/song differences

    Here comes a long multi-part question...sorry :o I heard a while back that the Muppet Show had a different skit (or was it song?) between the US and UK version of every episode. Is this true? And if so, why? And lastly, were both the UK and US ones on the DVD sets? If not, which one was chosen...

    Mummenschanz

    Mummenschanz (a guest on the Muppet Show's first season) had a commercial about 20 years ago (or a bit more) for their broadway shows, I believe...and I was wondering if anyone remembers it: The set is pitch black and a frowning faced character is in a cage on the right in the back. Along comes...

    LOVE the St. Patrick's Day "decorations" :)

    Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum - Harry Dean Stanton

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG6AQsvgPSwA video for the song (made years after the song was recorded) with Harry Dean Stanton in the lead role - very well done! After I decided to share it, I thought I'd ask the same question a youtuber asked: What's the story about in this video? Maybe a...

    He directed the original "Little Shop Of Horrors" in the 60's, has made countless movies in his career, and has two films coming to Sci-Fi (Now they call it SyFy? :concern:) Channel, "DinoShark" and "Sharktopus"! Can't wait!:D Plus, Corman included actor Dick Miller in many films, and Joe...

    Prog Rock (Roger Waters and more)

    *cyber hi-five* Yeah! We should join that Roger Waters fan club called Reg now. Except that I have to save up for the Roger tour! For the record, I love Syd Barrett with or without Floyd, and Roger Waters with or without Floyd. Yes, David Gilmour is an amazing guitarist, but while they made...

    Robocop

    I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on Robocop. There's: 1. the movie trilogy (I like 1 and 3 myself) 2. the 1990's series (Also good) 3. the 2000's Prime Directives Mini Series Films (Never saw it) As well as 4. the 1980's cartoon show (Good) 5. a newer cartoon show I am not familiar with And...

    Dinosaurs movie

    Giving this it's own topic (in addition to mentioning it on an earlier thread): When I read on the muppet wiki that there was supposed to be a Dinosaurs movie (and the way I took it was they meant a film based on the show, as opposed to the original idea Jim Henson had for a film prior to the...

    Monster Maker

    Just wanted to mention how great Harry Dean Stanton is in "Monster Maker" - and I love Jim Henson's comments before and after as well. Will be great when it's on DVD, but thankfully, it's on youtube for now...saw it years ago and SO happy to see it again today! :):D

    Other work by Gerry Parkes (Doc)

    I read he was in a movie "Boondock Saints" and it seemed like that was the best known work he did besides Fraggle Rock and Muppet Family Christmas....any comments, info, reviews?

    Sesame Street@Prodigy, Summer '94

    In the summer of 1994 I used Prodigy to go on the internet. That was the first time I was ever online like that, and all I recall is looking up info on the Pink Panther, Atari games, reading about that night's episode of Dinosaurs ("Driving Miss Ethyl") on a TVGuide type page, and then reading...
