    Peanut butter and crayons

    Just about any Wegman dogs live action I love. They're so weird. I don't know how he does that with his dogs. When I had a dog, I couldn't get her to sit still -- forget about dressing the up in weird costumes!

    What films scare us the most?

    (mentioned this before) The one where the two little girls are playing with the dollhouse and the two cats come crashing through it. Also the orange ball going on the metal roller coaster thing, when it gets ground up at the end. Those two aren't really scary, but they sure bothered me as...

    Wegman Dogs

    I didn't know Wegman had his own videos. I only knew his work from the still dog photos. I bet they're really weird. I'll have to try and track some down.

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    I have to admit, when I heard that they were changing the format, I was disappointed. Then I watched the way my 18 mo old daughter watches the new SS versus the Classic SS. Since the viewing audience of SS has gotten younger (my guess is that there's too much other programming for the...

    Furry Arms

    I was watching yesterday's (Wed feb 19) afternoon (3:30P) 1-2-3 Sesame episode on Noggin, and a Furry Arms sketch was the main story (Benny (is that his name?) the Bunny bellhop greases everything with chicken fat). Furry Arms is after my time, so wasn't familiar with it. It reminded me of...

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    Interesting point about producers not wanting to face the wrath of angry parents! And it's probably too hard to write on two levels (kids & adults) without offending SOMEBODY.

    Worst animated sketch ever!

    Don't recall that sketch. I tend to block out bad segments and only remember the good ones!

    how dumb!!!

    I'd send you SSU tapes if I could remember to tape them in the first place. :o I'm sure there's a lot financial reasons there isn't a CTW network. After all, creating TV networks cost millions and millions of dollars and if they don't feel they can make a profit out of it (I'm sure they did...

    Wegman Dogs

    OK, so now I'm curious about the Wegman dog clips. What years were they done? They're so strange, I love them! What are some of the clips? Off the top of my head: 6 dogs in a canoe Dogs build a #1 I know there's tons more, but it's late and my brain isn't working.....

    Not apropos of anything

    Hope my kid (18 mo) is similarly over-exposed. Right now she has to scream BOX! DUCK! every time she sees Journey to Ernie.

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    Like some folks mentioned before, the classic characters work on two levels, one for kids, one for adults. The newer characters seem geared strictly for kids....and really little ones, too! No doubt part of that was a conscious decision since the target audience keeps getting younger (my...

    Yup, some of us do have lives and little toddlers to look after, so can't be chained to the computer 24/7. ;)

    Top 10 Alphabet Segments!!!

    I like celebrity guest sements, so a couple from this year... Liam Neeson w/Ernie & rubber duckie Ray Charles w/a variety of celeb clips Although the Christopher Reeve ABC segment disturbed me a bit. Not sure why....

    Monsterpiece Theater

    They occasionally (VERY occasionally!) put a Monsterpiece Theater segment in during "Monster Time". Guess there's only so much Monster Clubhouse anybody can take in one week!

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    For me, personally, part of it is nostalgia. The other part for me is that these characters don't seem to have as much, well, CHARACTER as the older ones. They seem to be targeted to the under-three segment. The new ones don't seem to have the same level of sophistication with a sense of...

    Was the number pinball machine only shown on Unpaved?

    I believe I have #11 shown during Number of the Day from the current season.

    Sesame Street

    They scatter a few retro segments through the show. (Monster Time, Number/Letter of the Day, Journey to Ernie) Just not enough, IMO. Of course, since Elmo's World takes up 1/2 the show, not enough time to get more in, I guess!

    Snuffy Memories

    Snuffy was "imaginary" until 1986??? My goodness! That was the year I graduated from HIGH SCHOOL!!

    Snuffy Memories

    Was anyone else bothered as a kid by the fact that when Snuffy was introduced only Big Bird could see him because he used to wander off and everyone thought Snuffy was imaginary? That used to really upset me! How long was it before the rest of the cast started seeing Snuffy?

    Monsterpiece Theater

    Trying to figure out what classics were done on Monsterpiece Theater: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Guys and Dolls The King and I Cyrano DeBergerac Gone With the Wind 39 Steps (?) What else? These are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head.....
