    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    No, Bobby wasn't in Ernest Goes to Camp. The chefs, Jake and Eddy, were played by Galaird Sartain (who played Bobby's fat brother Chuck in Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest Goes to Jail, and Hey Vern It's Ernest) and Daniel Butler (who also played Earl the barber, Ernest's tongue, and a robot on...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Ever since I read that this set only has five extra clips per season, I thought it'd be cool if Sesame Workshop put out a single-disc release of segments from 1979-1984, maybe call it "Old School Lite" (I'd like to see such a single-disc release of bonus clips from the first 15 seasons). It...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    So... Does the "Dr. Nobel Price Umbrella" behind-the-scenes clip correspond to anything that appears in this set? All other behind-the-scenes clips do. Wow, it looks like none of the bonus clips include The Count or Herry (unless they are part of "the cast" in Trash Outta Heaven). Considering...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Regarding season 12 having 4 instead of 5 clips, I wonder if that was an oversight. I noticed that on the Honk Around the Clock page lists Old School Volume 3 as a video release yet that's Honk Around the Clock is not listed on the page. According to Muppet Wiki's Sesame Street News Flash...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    Thinking about how some people will want to sell celebrity autographs, particularly if the celebrities have died and are worth millions, I remember back in my days thinking if I met any of my favorites I'd have to be sure to get multiple autographs (at least one for me to always keep and the...

    My favorite animated films include Snow White, Pinnocchio, Dumbo, Fun and Fancy Free, 101 Dalmations, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, The Aristocats, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldren, A Goofy Movie (it's a shame Pocahauntas got more publicity), Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mickey's Three...

    Calvin and Hobbes

    With all the talk about Calvin and Hobbes in the Family Circus movie thread I thought it'd be good to see if there was an actual Calvin and Hobbes thread here (or to start one if there wasn't). The first time I saw Calvin was on one of those unlicensed images where it appeared Calvin was...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    It was in 1995 and I don't remember everything. And although I had seen some of the Ernest movies I wasn't that big of a fan yet and didn't remember Bobby from any of them (and the only ones I had seen were ones he was in). In fact I think that experience is what made me a bigger fan of Ernest...

    Calvin and Hobbes

    I have several of the Calvin and Hobbes books, and have been rereading them a bit recently. I enjoyed one storyline which seems to have a number of twists. It starts off with Calvin ready to turn in his math homework, only for the numbers to leave the paper and the paper to catch on fire...

    Muppeteers' MC User Names

    I recall him mentioning in an interview on The MuppetCast that he kept forgetting his password. I'm a little surprised nobody's mentioned that Michael Earl Davis has posted here, using his own name as his user name.

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    I had no idea that celebrities actually charged autographs (I know that some refuse to give them. Many years ago I read a newspaper article about celebrities who do and don't give autographs, and it mentioned one in particular who has body guards who prevent fans from asking). Then again, I...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Actually if the opening was cut for purposes of marathon watching (how often do people "marathon watch" shows on DVD, anyway? And I think I'd still want to see the opening and closing if I was "marathon watching") the opening should be on the first episodes of both discs. Was the same opening...

    I Miss the Munsters :(

    I recall reading in the Nick at Nite 1997 calendar that it was considered too expensive to film in color and that the characters were considered too ugly for color.

    I wonder if the recent Fraggle Rock music video with Ben Fold Five will be included on one of the rereleases.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    If there is a fourth Old School volume, I think it should do what is (apparrently) being done with the "Goodbye, Mr. Hooper" episode here, include the street scenes from certain episodes in addition to full episodes and classic cuts. Assuming volume 4 focuses on seasons 16-20, it'd be most...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    That was a good review. I had no idea this was going to have bonus features (even if the bonuses aren't much, considering they're also on the CD release).

    Jerry Juhl and MTM

    Well, we all know that Jim wasn't as involved with Fraggle Rock as other productions, and during the 1980s Jim was busy with many projects at the same time (I think the red book site has mentioned a few times that Jim would spend weekends flying from his new york office to toronto and then to...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Looking online, the Cab Calloway number is a parody, so I assume that shouldn't be a problem, and I thought that all Beethoven music had become public domain long before Sesame Street even started. Still, I wonder if it's really due to any celebrity appearances. Though I think all of the...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I had no idea the Barkley segment was a song. I had seen an "in and out" segment with Barkley and Maria, which I don't remember including any singing, and then I read here that that segment was a remake of a segment with Luis. Well, we have just five more days until the big day (which...
