    So, what do we call Gonzo now?

    That's my opinion as well. Seems like the director killed a great O. Henry-esque twist, and saying "Gonzo is an alien" is like that episode of the Simpsons with Xena in it where she said "anytime you notice something like that, a wizard did it!" A cheap little explanation that seems like...

    Lips is Back!

    All I can remember is the "And Me" line being muttered in a gravelly voice at the end of GMC... think Christian Bale when he says in his grave tone "I AM BATMAN!" Sorta like that. Least that's how I remember it.

    Things That Disappointed You

    Now everyone's got me thinking about the logistics of a working Honker Muppet. I say, it you can make a working Honker doll, (there is one) you can actually make a functioning puppet that makes the sound. problem is, it would either sound like a squeaky toy (like the plush) or it would be very...

    Sesame Street USB drives WITH VIDEO?

    It depends on the price for me... I might just get the Grover one, since it has "A Celebration of Me, Grover" on it.

    US characters IN international co-productions

    Now, this I find pretty odd an observation. For the longest time, most countries, when they got a co-production of SS didn't want to use (or couldn't use) the actual American characters. Even when the African and Chinese co-productions had Elmo and Big Bird characters respectively placed in...

    Things That Disappointed You

    You know... the more I think about it, even if these things DID have functioning mechanisms that actually honked or dinged... would they be audible? Or how audible would they be? Would the microphones even pick them up as ambient noise, or would they just be so faded that they'd have to do ADR...

    Greatest Character Personalities?

    I really think that Oscar has a grandson/nephew figure in Elmo... and that's one of the things that Elmo is good for. Somehow, Big Bird has a much thicker skin when Oscar calls him turkey, or big canary or something like that... Telly actually sees through Oscar's gruff exterior, allowing Oscar...

    Hal Miller, the middle Gordon

    I think the problem with Hal's Gordon is just that. He was Gordon. I guess if he played another adult, or Gordon's brother or cousin or something he would have made more of an impact. But then again, I've only seen that one episode where he was talking to Sam... I guess if I had more footage...

    Things That Disappointed You

    The fact he actually worse those ugly things is disappointment enough for me. Yuckka! He's clumsy AND has no fashion sense. :insatiable:

    Brian Henson comments indepth on the various company sales

    Seems the company is getting all sorts of better... though, as I said, they need some NON-TV/EI animated shows to really throw things back into the good old days. There's a whole Duck-a-verse they can work with... but that's a longer story. They just came off of the "We only care about tweens"...

    Sesame Street USB drives WITH VIDEO?

    Simply amazing... USB drives that come with a VHS/DVD special in them and room to store other files. This may not exactly revolutionize computer video viewing, but they seem pretty cool to me.

    Typo in Sesame Article- not for kids

    Lemme just say, as someone who frequently lets typos slip by, I'm constantly afraid of making that mistake.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    From what I understand, Buster was doing termites to begin with, and Arthur needed him to participate in his project. Buster still would have had to have made a separate presentation AND the written report. I guess it was just something the writers overlooked.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    I don't think there's one person here that actually finds the segment fun, educational, or watchable. Especially after the hundred times they keep showing it. They need to get out there, hire some animators, and do something good with the numbers 13-19.

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Must've been the one about the blizzard ... that was the one they showed yesterday. Speaking of which... anyone remember the episode where Binky was obsessed with collecting Butterflies and all the students were doing bug related projects. Okay, here's what I don't get... Muffy picked bees for...

    Rumor: Oscar living in a recycling bin

    Exactly. Things have gotten much MUCH worse. This seems like something that could go either way... either as a stupid joke someone made, or as some loud mouth peon whining about how everything is so PC, and how we're brainwashing our kids not to be disgusting slobs and litter everywhere. So...

    Cloud Forest and Animal Show Coming to DVD!

    Which is why when I posted it 2 hours earlier here I said "Song of the Cloud Forrest," not Jim Henson Hour. It's a start, I suppose... ties in nicely with Earth Day.
