maybe less of a warning and more of a voiceover for a title card: In the CTW system there are two separate yet equally important groups: the researchers who suggest curriculum, and the writers & performers who make it fun to watch. These are their stories. *chung chung*

Sesame Street is actually a pretty easy show to defend. When someone looks askance at me for liking it as an adult, I always say why the show has value for adults, rather than why I still watch a kids show. Depending on the person I'm trying to convince, I mention one of these reasons: 1) The...

1) What year did you first begin watching the show? 1986? 2) Who is your favorite SS Muppet? Two Headed Monster 3) Who is your favorite human cast member? Bob 4) Name one Jeff Moss song. Clean Up Time 5) Name one Joe Raposo song. Old Cars 6) Your most memorable momment from the show is...

ok, it took me a while to see that those chains are on a drawbridge--they make it look like she's on a leash. "you'll never fly away now, mwahahaha!"

how about an episode where Telly and Rosita want to play a game with Prairie Dawn, but Prairie is absorbed in an issue of Sesame Geographic magazine and doesn't want to play. then a group of sheep calling themselves BABBAA pop up and sing about how Prairie is a "Reading Queen with her magazine...

this may be more sesame-related merchandise, but Roscoe Orman is the "chief storyteller" for www.audiblekids.com narrating audio books. you can download his reading of beauty and the beast for free. and among the books you can buy that he narrates is his own book, Ricky & Mobo. the rest of...

i'd forgotten about that! dave barry wrote an article about that in 1993, entitled Tarts Afire. and mentioned it a year later in another article, that one on setting fire to a pair of underwear using hairspray and a rollerblade barbie. ah, the memories! those are some classic pieces of...

i know! and it's not like they lack sugar... i like the strawberry ones & the blueberry ones without the frosting. with a tall glass of milk.

i didn't either...remember i didn't know about the my little ponies tv show...i didn't watch much tv & didn't have too many friends outside school. & we did more imaginative play than used toys...for example, i looked at the latest weekly survey & realized i have many fond memories of...

oh, i think it's for all ages, too. just from what i've seen with most kids stuff, the age group that watches it/plays with it the least is the age right above where it's targeted. it's where many people have moved onto other interests and haven't begun to appreciate it on the next level yet...

12? haha that makes no sense. twelve is about the age when you've been off sesame street for long enough that starts being cool again in a nostalgic way, along with all the other stuff from early childhood like candyland and hungry hungry hippos. eh, maybe i'm overanalyzing telly's obsession...

yeah, i can see how it's kinda forced & shallow at this point. but that's how most obsessions appear to others who don't share them, isn't it? i guess it's not the topic of the obsession that i find compelling (i'd have to side with cookie on that one. i'll eat anything.) but the role the...

lol, you have an acute sense of humor. ...:o...

"are YOU the monster that ate the television?" "I..I like television..." But somehow being obsessed with triangles seems a little too safe to me, like every parent's dream, hehe. But that's just me, each to his own. ;) i see what you mean. maybe his obsession just hasn't gotten him into...

i'm thinking that maybe the fact that his triangle obsession came long after the character was created and developed makes it more human. kind of like bert with pigeons, bottle caps, oatmeal, and the occasional argyle sock, rather than muppets like count and cookie whose characters started with...

yeah, in some ways Telly sees right through Oscar more than other characters do. like he knows Oscar values their friendship more than he admits, and Telly almost takes pity on Oscar for being misunderstood. Telly's a really good friend to Oscar, and now to Baby Bear. Even though he lacks...

Decades of research and experience have proven that this show will NOT induce your preschool child to bang his head on a piano, play in construction sites, or develop insatiable cravings for cookies. You, of all people, should know that your child is smarter than that. However, unlike most...

This DVD contains graphic displays of baked goods meeting violent and untimely demise. These are only rice cake simulations--no actual cookies were harmed in the making of this show.

yay! my little ponies! i kind of was a girlie girl when i was little--i liked patent leather shoes & watching figure skating. but i wasn't into anything the other girlie girls liked...i used to watch the lawrence welk show for fashion ideas :eek: then you couldn't get me near a skirt in...

if you not only dream about muppets when you're asleep, but also when you're awake.... my next door neighbors had one of their loud post-party conversations at 3 a.m. again, and it woke me up again. but this time, i could have sworn they were having a serious discussion about elmo and oscar. i...
