This movie features a rare instance of Sesame Street doing product placement advertising. When Oscar and Maria are deciding where to have supper, Oscar complains that for lunch, Maria had to go and choose a place called "Friendly's". That bit makes me laugh every time, because it's so unlike a...

I wouldn't say he didn't enjoy writing for Sesame Street-on the contrary, I think he enjoyed it very much. What I am saying was that he may have gotten frustrated that he wasn't being regarded as a "serious" composer/lyricist. I tell you, if I were a Broadway producer, and if Joe were still...

A genius indeed, and even to this day, the residents of Fall River Massachusetts still consider Joe a favorite son.

I think Joe was feeling like he had been pigeon-holed into only writing music for children's television. He wanted people to know that he could do more than that, specifically write for the theater. Unfortunately for Joe, his two main theatrical projects: RAGGEDY ANN and A WONDERFUL LIFE were...

I saw both of these on youtube.com. You might find them there:-).

Clownophobes beware! johnnytbird has uploaded the film of the 10 clowns getting out of the AMC Gremlin!

Point taken, Princeton-I hadn't thoiught of that. I'm still concerned that the book is going to try too hard to be funny, however. I'm hoping the script writers trust the material enough.

I am friends with Peter Filichia of The New Jersey Star Ledger and theatermania.com. I had lunch with him around Thanksgiving, and we discussed his views on SISTER ACT. I'm sorry to say I'm not encouraged by what I heard. First of all, they took the show out of present day and set it in the...

My favorite has to be "Mystery Mix-Up". The prize descriptions are absolutely priceless, and as the contestant is playing the game, Frank Oz almost has the contestant sounding like a decorator: "This O would look very pretty over here...."

Don't forget the beautiful "Flying" song. One of my favorite Joe ballads.

I love her music. I particularly love the "wall of sound" her songs had. It's easy to forget that she was a huge part of the British Invasion.

Yes, I am Catholic, and a happy one at that:-)

Sunday Mornings 11AM, that's where you'll find me. I'm also a Eucharistic minister and greeter.

Let's not forget the "beginning/end" comparison films. They selected production music cues that seemed to have a natural break in them that they were able to use to stop the film and show the beginning of the action. Then, they'd speed up the film while the main part of the cue would play...

Bob was the last connection to my childhood. While I wish him a happy retirement, and continued good health, I still feel a very deep sense of loss. PRICE will never be the same for me again.

Ring the bells! Sound the drums! Someone has finally uploaded the 5 tap dancers-subtraction clip. JACKPOT!!!!! Thank you johnnytbird4789! Those ladies haven't changed a bit:-D

The Jazzy Triangle!!!! Thank you so much, NantoSeiken. It's just been added to my favorites, along with the "X" cartoon with the light guitar music, The Bear and the Bees counting cartoon, "Which Came First, The Chicken or the Egg", and "Simon Soundman's Song". I feel like I hit the jackpot:-).

I didn't think HAIRSPRAY as a musical was a good idea until I heard the demo tracks on the website back in 2002, now it's a favorite musical of mine.

I'm surprised this got a green light. I seem to recall reading that Audrey Seuss Geisel was so unhappy with the previous movies, that she would never give permission for another. Truthfully, I would've loved to see SEUSSICAL get a CG movie treatment, but that's me...

First rule of putting a show on the air: IMITATION IS THE ONLY FORM OF PROGRAMMING. Corrollary to the first rule: EXECUTIVES DON'T CARE IF THE IMITATORS FAIL, THEY'LL JNUST PROGRAM MORE. I miss GOOD syndicated game shows. I'm tired of Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy!, and Family Feud is OK...
