    Ask Ken at Palisades

    I have to agreewith Jamie (most of the way). My priorities are a bit different but Unle Deadly and Lips are my two top choices forfor characters not set in stone for next year. then Kazager, JP Grosse, and George and acatully I think I would like to see a Blue Frackle. I think Palisades could...

    Sesame Street Season 33 reruns

    And Elmo has appeared in the "Dancin' SmartyPants" video. I don't remember when Seasons 3 and 4 are supposed to air. I think it's like 7 new episodes next month and another 7 in '03. incidentally, Kathy Mullen and Peter Linz are no longer with the show (Peter had scheduling conflicts with...

    Dog City

    yes, it was part of the Jim Henson character and the dog Jim played was Bugsy Them. Rowlf also appeared and narrated it. it was probably one of the funniest specials the Muppets ever did!!!! Incidentally, the hero was a character named Ace Yu (played by Kevin Clash). Basically Ace inherits a...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    ken what strikes me as funny with people asking you about the wedding figures is A) we WILL all have accesss to a Kermit in Tux (maybe a bit different but stil kermit in a tux) and B) You yourself have said that if the ine continues one thin you'd like to do is a movie line in which case a...

    Sesame Street Season 33 reruns

    Yes, My understanding is that they've reduced the number of eps SS makes from like 50 to 30. This has been a sad continuing trend for the last few years. I don't know the exact numbers off-hand. Hopefully one of our occaisional 'lurkers" will post this info. On a similar note, Between the...

    The Muppets Valentines Special

    Warrick hey bud, Yes, there is a song there. she sings "how much is that Doggy in the window?" (I think) I saw it once at the Museum of Tv and Radio in NYC. Believe me, when I say, there is a reason this song is cut!!! Mia Farrow, whilst many other things, was not a gifted vocal...

    Electric Mayhem

    I thkn the reason they;ve been pushed back is that all you rally have is Floyd and Zoot. Frank's not around so much and Animal is such a spontaneous character, it's tough to do him justic and have him dubbed in. Jim and richard are no longer with us so no Janice, no teeth, and Lips never...
