    Yes, Skeeter8, there was a version of Carmen Sandiego as a live game show on PBS. But didn't you wonder why there weren't any of the characters from the actual computer games? I mean, there were no appearances by: Lynn Gweeny Nosmo King Astro Fissix Bea Miupscotti Miles Long Rhoda...

    Well, seeing as how the example put forth comes from two different NBC shows, I don't see where they might have a problem with it. Granted, you have to keep clear the distinction between the Friends character and the ER character, but this doesn't seem to be that a great an obstacle because...

    Well, if Sesame Workshop's character creations team is reading this thread I personally doubt that they'd be able to pull that off. The reason I say so is because there'd be copyright problems with Broderbond Co. over that name. The reason I see this problem arising is that these guys are the...

    Character Questions 2003

    Don't worry about Millicent, see I got it right didn't I? A similar point of peevishness is when I get a reply post from a forum member calling me County. So I completely understand. Now here's another question maybe you could help me out with. You say that you know the sketch with Elmo and...

    Character Questions 2003

    Thanks for responding Miliscent, and not taking offense when I asked for the correct reference to that character's name. Rest assured that now, with proper confirmation, Parker has been added to the Muppet Listing. The reason I ask about Alistair Cookie and the Great Nineteeny is because these...

    Character Questions 2003

    Miliscent, not to doubt your word... But can you please confirm that Parker is his name? Please cite your sources. This is the blue monster that appeared with Elmo both dressed as gauchos for a song sung by Linda Ronstadt, right? BTW: Just asking if you think that Alistair Cookie and the...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Luke, thanks for the link to the pertinent FAQ. Still waiting for Ken to respond since it's Monday now, but based on his response I might try using the "Contact Us at Palisades Toys" customer services form to see if the door's still open for a replacement Animal figure. BTW: Not having a Tour...

    Character Questions 2003

    OK, here's a question for all you hardcore SS fans. There's the classic sketch with Snow White and the Six Dwarves. How would you classify these dwarves in a master character listing? Would you just place the lot of them as one entry under "The Six Dwarves"? Or would you list each one of...

    Anyone win a white tux Rowlf?

    FYI fozziebear900: Here's the skinny on the White Tux Rowlf. Palisades made about 300 of these figures as their industry exclusive at American International ToyFair's 2003 convention. After handing out the figures already promised to their industry contacts, the guys at Palisades still had a...

    Animal's Articulation

    Don't see why Ken couldn't help you out too, Dave. You'll just have to wait till Monday like me for him to get in touch with you and set up some sort of dialogue about the problem with Animal. Wouldn't hurt to drop him a line that you're seeking help with the same situation as myself, though...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Luke, thanks for the tip, but I couldn't find any section dealing with product replacements in the FAQ over at the Palisades forum. The one FAQ I did find had only links to questions dealing with User Maintenance and General Board Etiquette. There was nothing there about figure replacements...

    Animal's Articulation

    Dave, you're a little too late. The second Animal figure, the one I bought from ZackAttack, has his left hand and both feet fully-functional regarding their articulation. Unfortunately, the right hand snapped off. Currently looking to get in touch with Palisades Toys for a replacement or...

    Ask Ken at Palisades

    Ken, sent you an E-mail earlier today, but I'm genuinely interested in trying to get a replacement S2 Animal figure. Would it be feasible at all to ask you for the replacement figure? If not, then who do I have to contact about such matters? What step-by-step instructions should I follow to...

    Does Anybody Know Paul and Michael?

    Greetings from the Count! There's something that I wanted to ask about after seeing the latest episode of Sesame Street Unpaved. This was probably the fifth episode in the Hawaiian vacation episodes. There was a sketch with two live human characters named Paul and Michael. Can't say for sure...

    Animal's Articulation

    Maybe this thread will get more attention over her at MC rather than at Palisades, or maybe I just want to hedge my bets with other members responses to this problem. My collection now has a second S2 regular Animal figure, but only his left hand has full turning articulation. Stuck the figure...

    Does anyone remember Alphabet Chat?

    Too late for me to add anything new, but I'll try anyway. The character in question's name is indeed Mr. Chatterly, host of Alphabet Chat. Byron, this is the only sketch to use a sort of round-styled alphabet song sung in a sort of Gregorian chant tune. Mystery Theater had no such song, it...

    Daily Show Muppet Reference

    Don't really know if this should be a thread on its own or if it should be placed witin any other already-existing thread, but here's the point. On yesterday's episode of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, there was a nice Muppet-related joke. Basically, there's one of the members of British...
