    Einsner demoted today

    No, it is the whole board. That's why I voted to withhold 4 of them on my proxies. They are lacking people with creative vision, and that is the problem. See, Eisner is great for finding ways to cut costs and he has been saving the company money. But that can go too far, as evidenced now. He's...

    Special Indian Puppet Show in Maryland

    I have some friends who go to College Park. I wonder if they'll go. I'm imagining they chose that venue becuase it was Jim's alma mater? Jessica

    Einsner demoted today

    That would be George Mitchell, former senator of (Maine, I think?). He's now chairman, Eisner is still going strong as CEO.

    Einsner demoted today

    It actually happened right after the shareholder meeting on Wednesday. Eisner is still CEO, just not chairman as well. That honor goes to Eisner's puppet George Mitchell. I think the move was to show the public that the Disney board listens. But it's still not enough - Eisner AND Mitchell need...

    Listen on-line to Disney Shareholders Meeting

    Walt had two daughters who later married, and I know some of them worked with the company for a while, but I know of no one else who is a direct descendent of either Roy O. or Walt who is now working for the company or may at some point. Jessica

    Listen on-line to Disney Shareholders Meeting

    Roy can not take the CEO/Chairman role due to his age. This was the initial problem, when the board forced him to leave last November as he was over the retirement age. Mr. Disney is in his mid-70's, so unless they drastically changed the requirements, I don't think there is anyway he could be...

    Listen on-line to Disney Shareholders Meeting

    Actually - no CEO has ever lasted with an against vote higher than 28%. Eisner's was 43%. He was voted in again because there was no one to take his place at this time. Either he steps down gracefully on his own account, the board kicks him out due to such a large no-confidence vote, or at next...

    Will the Muppets be at the 2004 Disney Christmas Parade?

    They already have walk-around Muppets at Disney World (not sure about Disneyland). I've seen Kermit and Miss Piggy hanging around MuppetVision. They were just kind of standing there, no one really caring. Made me sad... :cry: I hope we do see the Muppets at the Christmas parade - and I for...

    Sesame's Dr. Phil parody to premiere February 20

    Who was the voice Dr. Feel sounded so familiar! Was it indeed Steve doing the voice? Jessica

    Kinfolk from Sesame Country

    Perhaps I should clarify. See, I have a stereo with a record player, a tape player, and a CD player all in one. The tape player has the ability to record from the record player and the CD player. But when I just tried to record off of the record player, the tape recorder would not work - rather...

    I just saw those skits the other day. I love them! Course, anything with Bert and Ernie is the best! :) Jessica

    Kinfolk from Sesame Country

    I do have a record player, but it's at home, and she is with me at school. I do not have a record player in my dorm room. Jessica

    Kinfolk from Sesame Country

    Does anyone have an mp3 or wav file of "Kinfolk" from Sesame Country? I wanted to play it for my roommate (looonnng story...) and I was going to make a tape copy from my record. However, I just discovered that the tape player doesn't want to record - just eat the tapes. So now I have no way of...

    Sesame Unpaved on Noggin

    I get Noggin from our local cable company's digital cable service. It's more advanced than "regular cable" so if you're staying in a hotel or the like, I would doubt they would have it. I hope you can catch some episodes! My mom and I are having a blast reminiscing about past skits. I saw...

    New Members: Please Post and Introduce Yourself

    Hi everyone! While I am a new member I've been lurking around on the boards for a few months. I finally decided I should take the plunge and register! I've been a Muppet fan since my first episode of SS. I've gone off and on with my fascination, finally culminating with my "Muppet...

    The official, "Remember this?" thread

    Hello! Hi everyone! While I'm a new member on the boards, I've been lurking around for a few months. But I have this SS skit in my head that I remember from when I watched SS as a little kid. It had a bunch of kids (at least 3) were walking across this street when a paint truck went by...
