I just read on MSN that Brad Delp, the singer with the amazing voice from the 70's powerhouse group "Boston" died Friday at the age of 55. Brad was also, if I am remembering correctly, in a group in the early 90's called "RTZ", but maybe that was someone that just sounded a lot like him. I...

Just a note to let everyone know that Bud Lucky, animator of such classic Sesame sketches as Ladybug Picnic, is featured prominantly on the Incredibles DVD that comes out tomorrow. I was surprised just now looking over the bonus features, that they included a great new Pixar short called...

Recently, my wife and I were in the local public library. In the basement is the childrens' section in one half, which I was in with our daughter. The other half is a constant book sale and newspaper archive going back to the early 1960's. My wife was sneaking around in that half for a while...

I did it! I did it! I so did it! I received my copy of Muppet Family Christmas in the mail today here in Canada, from the UK, and now I have a working, UNEDITED, region ZERO DVD (plays anywhere in the world kind-of-thing) copy for anyone who can play PAL (UK, 25 fps) DVD's on their...

It's a new show on Nick Jr. and my daughter is going completely nuts for it, so I thought I'd check it out. Turns out there's some extremely well-built puppets and some great 2- or 3-person puppetry going on! It's very enjoyable to watch. Anyone else seen it? eric

This just passed through my mind the other day and it's really vague... Is there an Ernie and Bert sketch involving a shawl? Something about Ernie putting one on Bert for some reason? Help! eric

Hey everyone. Sorry if I haven't been keeping up with what's going on here on the Forum, but since we moved (I know this sounds like I'm spoiled...) the dial-up connection is so slow it's hardly worth using. I just go on every once in a while to see if the world is still here and reply to my...

Well, the move went fine, our stuff arrived, and I'm in the middle of cleaning up those LPs. (Sesame Disco is first, and I'm in mid-clean now...) I want it to sound good for everyone, as I know a lot of people haven't heard this wonderful album, and there's no way it's going to be released...

Tonight my 3-year-old daughter came up to me with a sock on her hand. She started smiling, and of course, I'm curious. I ask, "What?" She replied, (with the sock) "Scrap Fyap!" We played like that for a while and she seems to have a knack for it! (For a preschooler, that is!) What a nut...

I found an old original VHS of "Doozer Music" yesterday. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but wanted to see if anyone was interested. The box is in OK condition, looks like it was from a rental place, but all stickers have been removed, some a little carelessly, but doesn't effect...

As fans of the entire Henson genre, does anyone know what we call ourselves? Star Trek fans are privvy to the term "Trekkies" (or "Trekkers, depending on who you ask), but we have nothing. Tonight, a friend of mine suggested the following and I got a huge kick out of it...tell me what you...

I'm getting very frustrated trying to find games (on cassette) for my CoCo2! Those of you with this particular classic computer will know what I'm talking about. I have a perfectly working unit, with joysticks, and 1 game (on a ROM cartridge!) and the programming book that came with it in...

How on EARTH do you pass the DUMBEST things on to your children? I received some more Unpaved's today and my daughter and I were enjoying them all day. Of course, I was wondering when the "Daddy Dear" sketch would come up and how I would react. I mean, it always made me feel sad as a kid at...

To all of my Canadian post-pals....Happy Thanksgiving this weekend! Hope everyone has a nice holiday. In Canada (just before any of you ask) I believe that Thanksgiving is in October to celebrate the fall harvest. So, Happy Thanksgiving, eh! later eric

I think I've come up with a good idea for those of us with VCD capabilities. I've noticed a lot of you have large lists of video files either in mpg or avi format already. I, myself, have started the task of converting my classic skits to VCD ready format. Therefore, someone needs only to...

On Friday CTS in Toronto was showing the Don Knotts episode of TMS and of course I had it on all the TV's at work, because it's bright and colourful, draws attention to the TV's, and, um, I may be taping it for myself. Anyway, 2 small boys (I'm guessing between 7 and 10 years old) come running...

Anyone know if the Vend-A-Face segments were pulled from the reruns of TMS? I've been taping as many as I can and haven't run into any yet, and it's one of my favourites! Also, if so, WHY? And, oh yeah, why were the original openings pulled from the first season? This may have been...

Hey, does anyone have some decent (i.e. not too muffled) audio versions of : 1) Jazzy Spies (I like the vocals best in "6" but any good copy will do...are there even any out there? I've only heard muffly ones) 2) Capital "I" (Mine skips) I'm interested in putting together my own version of...

Hey! I'm new to the forum and would like to set up some trades of VCDs of Unpaved and the like with other collectors. I have a couple of out-of-print videos available and a couple of episodes of Muppet Show not released on video as of yet, all on VCD. Here are some of my more interesting...
