When Jim created the "La Choy" dragon puppet for a TV commercial? Does the dragon still exist? That was pretty big stuff on our old bl/wh TV.

Rolf's appearances on the Andy Williams Show?

When Oscar the Grouch was orange?

I don't actually remember these things as they were long before my time, and I've only seen clips of the LaChoy dragon from specials. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen the actual commercial in it's entirety!

Welcome to MC, by the way!

At the Paley Center for Media (formerly The Museum of TV and Radio) I saw some of the La Choy Dragon commercial pitches made for the food company (rather than the public). The Muppet Whatnot narrator (Jim Henson) says their advertising is going in a new direction. And then in pops the dragon, all loud and crazy. The narrator dryly says, "This is the lovable La Choy Dragon..." Lol
