    Carlo Alban's greatest fear while working on Sesame

    That's just what I've read. *shrug*

    Carlo Alban's greatest fear while working on Sesame

    Except for maybe the first guy who did Tinky Winky; I read that once that whole "Tinky Winky is a gay role model" controversy really took off when the show came to America, they fired him for the way he played the character, and was really upset over that, because he actually liked the job, and...

    Carlo Alban's greatest fear while working on Sesame

    Well, not everybody can be a Jim Varney: here was a man who was also a Shakespearan actor, had a genius IQ, and ended up being pigeon-holed as Ernest... but he really didn't mind, because he knew people, especially kids, really loved Ernest, so that's what made the role worth-while. It's nice...

    Happy Birthday Sarge and Ziffel

    Hopefully Ziffel will join the ranks of the "old timers" whom have made comebacks in recent months, just like Sarge. :) Happy birthday to both y'all, hope you guys have good ones.

    No way, Jose! The last thing Muppet Central needs right now is for it to jump on that bandwagon that every single other website on the internet has jumped on in the past couple of years where they completely overhaul their layout for no apparent reason, and often times not for the better...

    Carlo Alban's greatest fear while working on Sesame

    heralde is right: Northern Calloway was, unfortunately, quite mentally unstable, the only reason he was still on the show was similar to Carlo's fear, to avoid having any kind of public humiliation that "Sesame Street's 'David' in trouble", etc, and they made sure he had like a supervisor, or a...

    What in the world is going on around here?

    Hooray, now it's NOT just me who's having these problems! :excited: I think the problems can be excused for right now, considering MC is in the process of being updated and upgraded, etc.

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    I bet Joe Murray must be ecstatic, considering he's been trying to buy back the rights to Rocko for a while now for this very reason: so fans can have official, legit DVD releases; I understand he was well aware that there were bootlegs being sold and such, but was happy that "SOMEBODY is giving...

    Carlo Alban's greatest fear while working on Sesame

    Maybe a misprint? Either way, this is an interesting read, and in a way, I feel sorry for having to live in fear the way he did: you never really think about what kind of inner "demons" are the people you see on TV having to live with while they work, and yeah, I can understand how...

    Indeed, you did a great job on it Jamie.

    I've always enjoyed that too, mainly because of how gritty and old-school it looks.

    Was it Grover doing a lecture on knees, with Maria?

    Wild Thornberries DVD (interesting development)

    http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Rockos-Modern-Life-Season-1-Box-Art/15126 But... what do they mean this set contains all of the episodes from the first season "out of four that aired"? Season One had 13 episodes, like every other season of every other show. Or, are they refering to the...

    Ohhhh wait... I just happened to think... What are the chances of the episodes being released on DVD UNedited? :o

    Anybody Know Anything About Dreams?

    Holy crap, I thought maybe Ed was back to his mind games, and once again, changed the title of my thread for no reason, but no... I actually had NO recollection of starting this thread, at all! O.O Actually, I'd prefer it if the thread was deleted altogether... I think the newer one is better...

    What do you know about dreams?

    I look at it this way: our "biggest wishes" and "biggest fears" that they say make up a majority of our dreams are more psychological than metaphorical/rhetorical. Something that's really deep in our subconscience, that we really ponder on in regards to our lives, present or future, something...

    MC Forum Awards #7 Nominations/Final Voting Ballot

    I think basically every single thing I previously said has been misinterpreted, and taken out of context... Right, I've started up a group that only my friends can join, where all we do is go around and complain about other groups of people who stick to their own ways around here... That...

    The Chipmunks

    One thing that's interesting though, that's sort of a dramatic reversal of all this... Back in the mid 70s (I think), Ross Jr. actually collaborated with the creators of The Nutty Squirrels on new albums for that group... and it's crystal clear that The Nutty Squirrels were a knockoff of The...
