    Sesame Street premiered 35 yrs ago today

    It's truly a great thing that SS has lasted this long and shows no signs of stopping. Joan Ganz Cooney and her cohorts (namely Jim Henson) revolutionized kids' tv. Yes, things have changed a whoooooooole lot, but one thing remains the same...there is a dedicated fan base who will keep the...

    Who likes the dollar stores?

    We have sooooo many Dollar Stores in Hamilton, it's a little unnerving! They are great, though, for quick birthday gifts, seasonal table decorations and I like getting the little preschool workbooks for my daughter. They're also really good for providing some simple supplies for my classroom.

    Kermit's facial expressions

    Who? Cookie Monster or Big Bird? I'm trying to picture Big Bird scrunching up his face! I'm sure he has plenty of pent up anger! ;)

    Very SAD need some help

    Hi! All I can say is that I hope you find the help you need and that your family and friends stay strong behind you...to lift you up, to carry you... I will add to the muffins a KitKat Max and a bag of Green Apple Jelly Bellies. Listening to Pizzicato Five is highly reccomended. We're...

    Abstract sketches

    I remember those! The first one was on SS's first episode. If you want to go by way of odd animation, (but with more of a meaning I guess...learn to count), how about that rubber band face on a black background who would count the balls as they went by...as an animated ball zipped by, his...

    Kermit's facial expressions

    (in reference to the afore mentioned Cookie expression) Kinda like Tigger with his first (and last) taste of honey, haycorns and thistles! I like it when Big Bird lowers his eyelids and faces the camera with his mouth quivering open a wee bit with the soft long winded sigh. Yes, even Big...

    SNL or Mad TV?

    I completely agree! I saw the Best of Jimmy Fallon episode a couple weeks back...he's a great little performer (too bad about "Taxi"). The best is when he and Horatio Sanz would do a skit together and they couldn't keep a straight face. Reminds me of Drama class and Theatre Sports in High...

    SNL or Mad TV?

    Just wondering which you like better... Saturday Night Live or Mad TV. It's truly a toss up for me. I enjoy elements of both. I miss Phil Hartman, Gilda Radner and Chris Farley (bless their funny souls). I know it's not as funny as it was, but I tune in every week, and it's pretty much a...

    Pet Peeves 2004

    :p 1. Insincerity, phoniness, just being nice to be nice 2. slurping soup and hot coffee, licking your fingers loudly 3. Shania Twain making the #18 spot in the top 100 Canadians and being the highest ranking female. Nay, Nay!! 4. Close mindedness

    Favorite Inaminate Objects Coming to Life

    I always liked the television set that came alive and ate the viewer on the Muppet Show. :eek: But you know what? I adore the sun and the cloud that were in some of the "This is your Life" sketches. I LOVE that the cloud would always talk in this low gruff voice and the sun was smooth...

    Shirley Bassey episode

    The VV in Burlington is smaller, but I did find some good SS LP's, there. I think this winter I may apply for a job in the warehouse at VV (Fennel)just to help out with the Christmas rush. That'd be cool to have first hand dibs on those collectibles! Mind you, I'm sure they have policies set...

    What Are You Going To Be On Halloween On 10-31-04?

    To Beebers... Okay, at the risk of sounding overly crude...no desk...but I did have a stain on my dress....eeeew! Haha! Yeah, my step Dad was very concerned that Mom would get some 'looks'. Mom was excited that she may get some 'looks'! And the baby thing...my coworker did not help...

    Shirley Bassey episode

    Well, yeah, our cook has children who were raised on SS. She said if they misbehaved, the prime punishment was that they weren't allowed to watch it! Her and I have had some nice little discussions concerning it. I lent her (and hoped to God she'll return them!) the A&E Biography on it, the...

    What Muppets scared you as a child?

    The ghosts that swirled around Crystal Gayle in TMS literally made me run upstairs crying. And also on TMS was that silver and black creature with the long pointed beak thing and the black holes for eyes. He creeped me out. Then there was a skit in SS that was about the ocean and this creepy...

    What Are You Going To Be On Halloween On 10-31-04?

    I work at a daycare and my coworkers have all decided it would be cute to go out as babies. Ugh. Pigtails and freckles and a bib and a bottle or soother. Sorry, it's just so expected of us, I guess. I need to figure a way to make mine look a little less conventional. Now my Mom and...

    Skit info s'il vous plait!

    Yes, yes! Of course! And his name was Dada? Hhmm. Thanks for the clarification.

    Skit info s'il vous plait!

    HI again! OKay, I know that Sam the Robot was on Sesame Street, could someone tell me about some skits he was in to jog my memory of how he behaved or spoke? And some info on Bif and Sully skits would be cool too. I remember the one with Bif and the painter who was showing off his...

    Kermit's facial expressions

    Haha! You're right about Dr.Teeth! Smiled just thinking about it, actually! :D Okay, who else... Fozzie Bear somehow managed to always look genuinely embarassed and so "Aaa, c'mon guys..." It helped with the eyelids. Animal! He did some great expressions, especially after a wild...

    Looks like a good enough place for this...

    I was looking for a good place to post this, but I figured everyone hangs out here now and again, so here I am. I pitched an idea to a friend to do a radio program on songs from singers and bands who have performed on SS and TMS. He's intrigued and would like to know what could fill the...
