juliana - I was JUST coming to post that one!

Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That sketch always made me laugh like I don't even know what.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
And pretty much anything from Statler and Waldorf.
I was snide even as a 7-year-old, so my favorite bits were Statler and Waldorf.
And I'll tell you something about me and TV as a kid: I *know* I watched the Muppet Show, every Sunday at 7:00, but I can't remember anything specific from it. At all. Y'all keep naming these bits, and they sound vaguely familiar, but not enough for me to really remember them.
Same thing with Gilligan's Island and the Brady Bunch -- I watched them after school every single day for, like, 8 years or more. And I can't remember anything except the Gilligan's Island "To Be or Not to Be" song and the Brady Bunch episode where the vase gets broken and they glue it back together and then spend dinner freaking out that it will shatter. Oh! And the Brady Bunch where they get a pay phone because someone (one of the girls, I assume) was spending too much time on the phone.
That's it. Eight years and that's all I remember. I think when I started watching Buffy, it recorded over all the Muppets/Gilligans Island/Brady Bunch in the TiVO of my brain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's why there's YouTube.

Saturday nights in the mid-70s were all CBS for us, from The Muppet Show at 6:30, through Bob Newhart Show, Mary Tyler Moore, and whatever other two sitcoms were on at the time, and then finishing with Carol Burnett at 9:00. I remember a lot of those four shows in particular, mostly because of the happy memories of the whole family gathered around watching together.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've marked ALL the Muppet posts so that I can watch tonight!
Then report back to us on which ones you remember.

Several of my friends have acquired DVD sets of that show. I should politely inquire as to whether they would like to share....

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Everyone keeps mentioning my favorite Muppet skits; however, Jilli added my 2 favorite of all. The Alice Cooper skit is classic!

One of the most fun bits of the LAF2F was Saturday Morning cartoons and everybody singing along with the Animaniacs.
