    Least likeable Sesame character?

    There were a few moments outside Monster Clubhouse where Marty played Horatio. One of them that sticks out was Elmo's World of Wild Animals (mainly because I remember his truck was raised a little too high, and you could see a black gloved hand raising the rod).

    These are a few of my favorite things...

    For the two new ones... Favorite Emoticon on MC: :wisdom: :insatiable: :super: Favorite Expression: This one's a toughie, because at times I can be philisophical... but, I think I'll just name the one I use the most: "Change is a dangerous thing... unless approved by me first". And now, I...

    The "I Did Something Stupid Today" Thread

    Basically, I was looking through some OOOOLD posts and threads around here as of late, and all I have to say is this... how in the world did you guys put up with me all these years? Seriously, I was a nutjob back in the day, I can see how I made so many enemies with that over-obsession I had...

    Hal Smith

    After rewatching Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You?, I'm pretty sure Hal was also the voice of McGillicuddy's supervisor, the "Good Fairy in Chief".

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    Most of the time, in cartoons or comics, you have spoof products... like, I believe in the Get Fuzzy, the popular burger joint is "MacDougals". Oddly enough, I remember one time I did a bit of unusual product placements in a fanfic I wrote: I refered to Doritos, Cheetos, and Fritos by...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    True enough. Biggest example I can think of is Alvin, Simon, and Theodore eating Honeynut Cheerios for breakfast in The Chipmunk Adventure... I don't believe I've ever seen product placement in a cartoon in quite that same fashion before or since.

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    It's true. In one of my past lives, I lived in the stoneage and smoked about five packs a day, and lived to the ripe old age of 32.

    The Jim Henson Company Puppets to perform at the 2011 Grammys

    That's a problem that a lot of franchises deal with after they've been around for so long, not just the Muppets. I've said it before, but there's difference between character development, and changing a character's personality: with character development, a character grows from the events...

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    I dunno... had it continued through the 70s, I would've liked to have seen Radar hawk some grape nehi at us, lol.

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    This sort of campaign has been around since the early days of TV. Matter of fact, wasn't it because of this "campaign", that TV characters stopped doing their own show's sponsors' commercials back in the 60s? I mean you look on YouTube, you see Andy and Barney selling Grape Nuts, the Beverly...

    D'Snowth's Scale Model of Sesame Street

    As of now, the Information Center that was at the end of the alley next to Big Bird's nest has been renamed the Travel Agency, and has moved to the location next to Hooper's; the Fix-It Shop has gone out of business.

    Least likeable Sesame character?

    Of course... he's been with the Muppets for two decades, and hasn't had a steady signature character like the other performers. Stinky the Stinkweed isn't a regular character, neither is Papa Bear, and Horatio has interchangable performers and personality (aside from Joey, Marty plays him as a...

    Mars Needs Moms

    I couldn't tell what Mars Needs Moms was supposed to be, I've seen commercials on TV, but it starts out like a movie trailer, then it turns into a car commercial, then back to being a movie trailer, so I have no idea.

    *Sigh* It's That Time of the Decade Again...

    I doubt that. Each time it comes up it looks like it's going to happen this time, but then it turns out otherwise. So, I mean, what's the program this time? More of the fatcats sitting on their shiney hineys saying, "Eh, let's ax PBS, we have no use for it", while others are saying, "Kill...

    The Jim Henson Company Puppets to perform at the 2011 Grammys

    50 years ago, you were prohibited from showing two people in the same bed on TV. 50 years later, that's all you see when you turn on the TV.
