    Alan Muraoka in new CVS Commercial

    Keep your eyes peeled for a CVS commercial featuring a middle-aged lady getting around her local CVS on a segway... because her pharmacist in the commercial is none other than Hooper's Store proprietor, Alan! I've noticed Alan has been doing ads in the past couple of years or so, like this...

    Facts That Don't Add Up

    Well, from what I understand, regarding Marilyn was that she did start out as both a puppeteer and doing the voices as well, though I believe she couldn't quite get the hang of the puppetry aspect, but Jim was impressed with her vocal talent, that he kept her on to exclusively do voices.

    Kevin in other puppet shows?

    He sure did, matter of fact, he was a part of Captain Kangaroo for a while, both as a puppeteer, and as an on-screen actor (playing "Kevin the College Student"). Another great example is The Great Space Coaster, in which he played the obnoxious Goriddle Gorilla, who sounds identical to Hoots...

    Skits of the Early 70s

    Sort of similarly, in the Red Riding Hood Newsflash, Frank was each of the people who came to Grandma's cottage: the mailman, the salesman, and finally the woodsman. On a similar note, has anyone besides me noticed that most of the time whenever Frank does a one-short AM character, he almost...

    Do you miss high school?

    On the subject of yearbooks, the schools in this town had become incredibly cheap with them... the last time I hada somewhat decent yearbook was Grade 6, however, all of the photos were black-and-white (except for the seniors). Grade 7, the school couldn't even afford to do yearbooks, so what...

    I Want Answers...

    You know, this has been going on for years, but now, I really want to know something... Why is it that half the time I post a new thread on this forum, the titles are changed? I don't see this happening very much to anyone else here, but it seems to happen to me all the time, whether it's...

    How Times Have Changed...

    Oh lord... >< I don't know about THAT, lol. I mean I did see the movie once, mainly because I'm more familiar with her actor husband Allan (Sidney Freedman on M*A*S*H).. now that I believe goes on my list of one of the freakiest/creepiest movies of all time, lol.

    Skits of the Early 70s

    This is something that's just recently crossed my mind regarding skits and inserts of the early 70s... It seems like quite often, the skits would consist of multiple characters, five, six, or more, and of course, with that many characters, there's bound to be at least that many performers as...

    Do you miss high school?

    Something to take into consideration was that high school was considerably different in our parents' time... heck, school in general was different in our parents' time... when my parents were in school, it was just like on Leave it to Beaver; I've lost count of how many times my mother's...

    Ghostbusters (1984) returning to big screen for October 2011

    The last I heard, they were remaking the movie as well (oh, shocker), and all but Bill Murray agreed to reprise their roles.

    What If?

    I remember watching a lengthily interview with Caroll talking about how Jim spoke of his dream of doing TMS even before SST went on the air; at the same time, I remember Caroll also mentioning having certain doubts about being able to be a decent performer on TMS, especially as far as full body...

    This is the final straw...

    It was in our local paper, not sure if there's anything on the web that I can cite, but I can definitely look.

    This is the final straw...

    Enough is too much. Ever since Obama won the election, the GOP has been the BIGGEST bunch of sore losers on the face on this planet, and ever since the president took the oath of office, they've stopped at nothing to try and go over his head in order to continue with their regime of driving...

    How Times Have Changed...

    Despite having a bit of a nasally twang, Zooey has a great voice, and can sing really well, IMO; though I do kind of agree that as an actress, she is a bit of a female equivilant of Steve Carrell, Bob Crane, Vince Vaughn, and those other guys who are always usually stiff and wooden in their...

    Commercial rant time...

    Eh, one can't help but notice often times how you and Drtooth kind of get sidetracked in a thread over the current topic of the discussion, lol. But, at the same time, you're two of the more insightful and opinionated members we have here, so it's all worth reading just the same. :)

    I HATE when people don't understand!

    You know, before Tommie was put to sleep, and she was so sick, I went to vet, after vet, after vet, from "pet emergency hospital" to "pet emergency hospital", only to be met with the repeated stock answer, "Oh, well, see, we don't really treat bunnies, you need a specialist for bunnies since...

    Commercial rant time...

    Okey-doke, here's my latest commercial rant, and I'm wondering how either of the Drtooth-heralde brigade feels about it... Here we are living in a time period where the entire world is over a panic, because of all these "doomsday" signs from Wall Street that, "OMG! WE'RE HEADING INTO A...
