I finally got around to asking my parents what it was made of, and it wasn't made of tin, it (or at least the arms and pegs) was made of cardboard.

While I've never ran away from home, when I was 9 my family was planning to move into a new house, and when we were looking at the house we wanted, which we ultimately didn't get, I learned that my room would have been downstairs, and saw that there was a back door downstairs, and I figured that...

I, like, literally like this, like, thread. :) I haven't really noticed the misuse of literally much, though I think Weird Al Yankovic has. In his 2003 AL-TV special, when Avril Lavine misuses "literally", Al criticises her. And the recent book Weird Al: The Book has a tweet by Al commenting...

Seems during the 1940s Warner Bros. and MGM were starting to become really successful with their cartoon shorts, with the introductions of Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd, Sylvester, Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and others, though I prefer the 1950s Looney Tunes shorts the best (I also prefer the 1930s for...

After listening to it for the first time a few days ago I've had trouble getting a recording of "Go Tell It on the mountain" as performed by Jim Nabors out of my head. But it's starting to get out now.

I'm listening to "I Heard a Rumour" by Banarama.

I have no idea if there were any plans for an episode line-up for volumes 16-20, but I'll make a list of what I would have wanted before the season sets came out. Volume 16: Ethel Merman/ Loretta Switt/ Hal Linden Volume 17: Linda Lavin/ Leo Sayer/ Phyllis George Volume 18: Melissa Manchester/...

Well, I got the Imagination Illustrated book for Christmas. Is there a thread for that on the forum? I did a google search (which is usually more affective than the forums search engine) and couldn't find a thread. Not sure which folder a thread for the book would be in (Henson people? Muppet...

Jim Henson produced it while Frank Oz directed it.

Top ten favorite scenes from A Muppet Family Christmas, in no particular order: 1. Carol sing 2. Sleigh ride 3. Big Bird and Swedish Chef sing The Christmas Song 4. Jingle Bell Rock 5. The Night Before Christmas pageant 6. Jim Henson's cameo 7. Pass It On 8. Santa Claus is Coming to Town 9...

Top ten presents I got for Christmas in the past (years listed indicate the years I got those presents, not necessarily when they came out): 10. Sega Game Gear (1992) 9. Nintendo Entertainment System (late-'80s/early-'90s) 8. The Lion King game for Sega Game gear (1994) 7. The Muppet Christmas...

Mine should be obvious. I like the minor muppet characters.

When listening to the song Mahna Mahna, I used to say that the Snowths were singing about do-doo, do to the "doo doo doo doo doo" singing. And after hearing the Sesame Street version, where the girls sing "pa tee at bee de", I though it sounded like they were scatting about pee, sometimes joking...

Throughout the last few years I've gone back and fourth between being confidident that the world wouldn't end and being worried that I was wrong (especially when hearing more details regarding certain things). It's interesting, this prediction should have been known for thousands of years, yet I...

Really? He's always short with the elves? As I recall he barely interacts with the elves. He talks to them before and after "We are Santa's Elves", and I'm not sure if he actually speaks to the elf who gives a weather report, but aside from him disliking the elf song he doesn't seem to be short...

I can't believe I like the New Years one better than Christmas in July. I've seen that one more times than Rudolph and Frosty. I wish they'd include a few of the supporting characters from the first Rudolph special, like Hermey and Yukon. I feel like Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July is...

I really like this special. I especially like the weird animation in the restauraunt scene. It's kind of interesting how this and How the Grinch Stole Christmas both end with the Grinch turning good, but Halloween is Grinch Night doesn't. I've tried thinking up ways to make them...

I've liked the idea of a Sesame Street DVD collection of animated and live action shorts for years. In fact, that was the topic of my first April Fools thread on the forum back in 2006. It'd be great to have one themed around either animation or animation and films, though I doubt a set themed...

I noticed on the back cover, there's an image from the end of the special, with the cast, extras, and some of the guests. But the image on the cover superimposes Michael Jackson and Anne Murray into the image. It's a bit odd, seeing all them singing as Michael Jackson appears to just be walking...

I wonder if this will lead to Sesame Workshop releasing the Sesame Street News "Bird Family" sketch on DVD or online, or even if they'll release portions of the "Snuffy Gets a Divorce" episode (now that I think about it, I want that to be a bonus feature on Old School Volume 5, if we get a fifth...
