    Annoying Characters

    Very late to the game here, but one character that grates on my nerves is Marvin Suggs (the Whatnot who regularly whaled on the Muppaphones in TMS). I find his voice (Which Oz described as designed to be very annoying) extremely irritating. His entire demeanor is unpleasant (understandably so...

    (Just a heads up--Ruahnna's post is included in the quote, if you're wondering where it is). And let me say, oh my Gosh I am so sorry if anyone thought I was stating that things should be done only one particular way.

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hello all, I, like many of you and others, grew up watching Sesame Street. As a small child I adored Elmo (I had a little plastic Elmo figurine I carried around everywhere) and read Grover's "There's a Monster in this book" children's book over and over. But as I grew older I went further...
