The RHLC!

That he does.

It's always intrigued me, the way he said that all of his characters contain some aspect of himself. We just went over the personalities of some of his other characters, like Scooter, Gunge, Forgetful Jones and so on, but I'm still wondering where Beaker came from. Perhaps Beaker is the expression of Richard's secret insecurities...either that or memories of a high school chemistry class gone awry?

I have to admit, I have also pondered on where Beaker came from. In many ways he actually seems outside of Richard's typical preference (though he is loud, that probably helped!). I think your theory makes sense, MN, about inner insecurities. I said awhile back that maybe Beaker represented being different, misunderstood. Richard did seem pleased when a fan noticed Beaker wasn't as stupid as people thought.

Beaker isn't that stupid, he can be pretty wicked at times. I think Beaker came from, yeah, insecurities, more specifically the part of Richard that wasn't necessarily understood. But I don't think he was working through these insecurities, I think he was celebrating these insecurities with a memorable character.

Wait, what's this thing in New Jersey in January with Sesame Street? Can people go to it? I can't figure out this site.

Edit: All right never mind I get it. I am sooo going.

That's what I love about the Muppets, how they celebrate being different and a little odd in such a beautiful and universal way. And you know, Jane did say Richard was a bit underestimated as a kid, when he was simply trying to observe the world around him.

Cool Meep! So you figured out how to get tickets? I think I'm going to try as well.

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

Yeah, I'm going to try to go, too - so maybe it'll be a little RHLC convention. Or as Sam would put it, a weirdo convention.

That would be awesome if that could happen! It does look like tickets have to be bought quickly though!

I like how they said the emphasis is an adult point of view of Sesame Street. I'm amazed this point of view is finally being noticed!

I noticed on youtube, a comment was once left: "Richard hunt deserved a news tribute. He was my favorite after Jim." And it got 9 approvals!

Looking at that exchange between Forgetful and Clementine, you've really got to admire Clementine, for having a lot of patience with Forgetful. And I love that line, "Aw, Gene Autry, I can never forget you." I'll bet that was thrown in for the adults watching.

Yup, of course Clementine could also be annoyed that FJ remembers Gene Autrey before her, lol. It does parallel, I think, most girls' frustration with their boyfriends/husbands!

Btw here is the site for the Sesame Street event. It explains the event and where to go to order tickets. I would recommend doing it quickly as I don't think tickets are guaranteed if you wait too long.

Yeah I think I just reserved mine...they were very vague about it. "Maybe you just got your tickets", etc. It would suck driving all the way to Jersey to discover that I didn't even...but no matter, I probably got them.

Was that your confirmation email or just the message you got after ordering? I would suggest emailing the box office and asking for sure (boxoffice@wpunj.edu). I did that and they got back to me.
