Actually Sesame Street changed quite a bit when they added Elmo's World, which was designed to mimic Blue's Clues somewhat. Originally Sesame Street was designed to be like educational commercials for kids. Bang bang bang. Rapid little bits so the TV generation would stay tuned. I'm glad I got a couple years of Sesame Street on tape before they added the ultra dull Elmo's World.
I got Hec and JZ a nearly complete run of Bone. You can't go wrong with comic books.
Woot! It was a welcome gift. Though JZ hoarded them all first.
I am loving that Nutty is already taunting other teams for their mediocrity and Hillenbrand-having.
I am not loving the news from Nutty about comebackers to the face since Emmett will probably be pitching this year.
I loved all the monsters, but I loved Oscar the best.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.
From the article on Oscar, the contents of his can:
a pool with a dolphin named Ripper
He's a Buffista!
I knew I loved him.
Elmo's World is too long. But as I said, the whole show seems fairly predictably paced now: opening bit, alphabet and letter of the day, another skit, number of the day, Grover's multi-culti bit, Elmo's World, and finally Super Gordon.
ION, I think the makers of the B.C. comic are Billy Idol fans.

the new album is called Devil's Playground, and it was released the same week this comic came out.
The Sesame Street "near...far" just gave me the first true happy I've had all day.
During a road trip from Seattle to San Francisco, my best friend and I borrowed someone's massive (this was the early 90's) video camera, and we had way too much fun with the zoom (near.....far!) on the way. It was especially funny when in the Redwoods. Actually, it is probably only really funny to me, but the memory of that trip gave me a huge warm fuzzy.
Thanks msbelle and amych!
Ok, the Royals are in last place now, but they could still end the season in some other place that isn't last.
Kathy, I associate the Inchworm song with the old Hans Christian Andersen film starring Danny Kaye. I'm pretty sure that's where it comes from. Well, at least for me, in my head, I always hear Danny Kaye singing it.
Really? Oh, well, I guess that doesn't surprise me--"Mahna Mahna" was a cover version, too. I just never heard it without seeing the Inchworm muppet moving along.
For me, my favorite monster was Sweetums. I love him, especially in The Muppet Movie.
