I'm surprised nobody has started a thread on this yet. Maybe we're too young. But it was 25 years ago today that John Lennon was killed. I was a tiny speck in my mom's womb when it happened, but I still think it's very sad. I've loved the Beatles since I was little, and I can't help but...

I don't ever post in the puppetry thread, but I got this press release at work. Thought I'd share: June 20, 2005 Saint Paul Convention and Visitors Bureau Welcomes International Puppet Festival July 24-30 Public Puppet Fest Set for Saturday, July 23 from 1-5 pm (Saint Paul, MN)...

So I was browsing the toy aisles at Walmart the other day, and I found a new Elmo toy called "Elmo Goes to the Potty." I found it kind of disturbing, although I suppose it may help kids with potty-training. It comes with a sippee cup and a potty. And Elmo says things like "Yay!!!! Elmo went...

I was looking at a recent copy of the magazine "Newsweek," and there was a brief story about "Jeopardy!" champ Ken Jennings. He was pictured on Sesame Street with Grover and a pineapple muppet. However, there was no mention in the story about him appearing on Sesame Street, but why else would...

Did anyone else have one of these? It's from about 1985. It's a computer thing with Cookie Monster. It's yellow plastic, with a raised blue plastic Cookie Monster. It has buttons for numbers, as well as two arrow buttons. There's a couple of different things you can do with it. 1) You...

I hope I'm correct on this, but I heard on my local radio station that it was 35 years ago today that Sesame Street premiered. Although the show has changed over the years, let's be thankful for the creators of the show and that it is still on after all these years! Hurray for Sesame...

Does anybody else watch this show? Of all the reality shows out there, this one is actually worth watching. In case you don't know the premise, teams of 2 compete with other teams on a race around the world. Along the way, there are tasks to be done, obstacles to encounter, etc. It's a...

Remember this animated game show skit? There were two contestants, a man and a lady, who were asked to eat various food. The man was presented with a plate of food, and the host asked (loudly) "Will he eat it?!" The man was very picky and wouldn't eat anything. The lady was then offered the...

Can anyone tell me how this song was originally used? I really like this song and remember it from when I watched when I was a kid in the 80's. I just can't remember what context it was used in. I can only think of the more recent one with Ernie singing it to a bunch of cute little forest...

Any other "administrative professionals" out there? What a title, huh? I think we could all be considered "administrative professionals" of some sort. Anyway, I didn't expect anything from the people I work with, but one lady (and I only work with 3 other people) surprised me with a card...

For a few months now, I've belonged to this forum, and I've read several comments about how much people like this song. But I don't know what people are talking about! :eek: I know who Bip Bipadotta is (and his Muppet Show counterpart Mahna Mahna) But I don't (think) I know the...

I'm so excited that the new baseball season is here! Anybody else a fan? Care to discuss? I'm a Minnesota Twins fan. They beat Cleveland last night in 11 innings. Woo-hoo! Go Twins!

Hey all, Maybe this has been discussed before, but since I'm pretty new around here, I don't know. But I'm wondering how you watched Sesame Street when you were a kid. Did you watch at a certain time everyday? Did you watch with any certain people? Were there any rituals you followed...
