Kitten doesn't like people who talk about themselves in the third person. ;)<BR/><BR/>How do you like the Old School DVDs? I've been thinking about picking up a copy for myself. Oh, and Bob is my favorite human on the Street. He seems like he's just as warm off camera as he is on.<BR/><BR/>Amber: I'm a Big Bird fan too. I read Caroll Spinney's memoir last year (he's the puppeteer who plays Big Bird). It's a charming little book. I will never forgive Elmo for stealing Big Bird's thunder.Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387217950712644169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-17992122341350838722009-02-03T23:36:00.000-05:002009-02-03T23:36:00.000-05:00Aww, now that's one book I'm gonna hafta delve int...Aww, now that's one book I'm gonna hafta delve into myself.

LOL!<BR/><BR/>My favorites are Grover and Ernie. I also was fond of Barkley.<BR/><BR/>This seems like a book I have to get for my hubby. We love Sesame Street. We own the Old School DVDs.<BR/><BR/>Bob is from NJ and about 5yrs ago my best friend and I took his parking spot at the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus. We knew it was him because we were following him to his car since we were in dire need for a spot. When he got in the car, we were screaming out the window "BOB!!" and he looked at us, smiled and waved as he was driving away. Too funny!Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906184490587749493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-60815065109750519352009-02-03T20:29:00.000-05:002009-02-03T20:29:00.000-05:00Rahul: The book mentioned that Sesame Street has m...Rahul: The book mentioned that Sesame Street has many international versions, but didn't talk much about it. I hope this author writes a sequel, because it would be great to learn more about what went into the international shows.<BR/><BR/>Drollgirl: The author doesn't directly state this, but you get the feeling from the text that no one at the Jim Henson Company has ever fully recovered from Jim's death, professionally or emotionally. He writes a lot about the sales to Disney and the company in Germany. You also get the feeling that the Henson Company is still lost without its leader, nearly 20 years after his death.<BR/><BR/>Vickie: One of the reasons they aired the show on Thanksgiving was that, the producers reasoned, families would be together to talk about it. Sadly, in my family, this reasoning backfired.<BR/><BR/>Blonde Duck: Howdy! Thanks for stopping by again.<BR/><BR/>Yaya: Let me know your thoughts once you've read this.Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387217950712644169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-8227191413018270892009-02-03T16:34:00.000-05:002009-02-03T16:34:00.000-05:00Very cool, I'm definitely gonna read this one.Very cool, I'm definitely gonna read this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-87463657870393790342009-02-03T14:38:00.000-05:002009-02-03T14:38:00.000-05:00Stopped in to say hello!

I still get a warm fuzzy feeling when I happen to pass it channel surfing. I love Elmo, so did my older daughter.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe PBS aired that sad episode during Thanksgiving!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096758413292331253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-16844591491037179562009-02-03T00:18:00.000-05:002009-02-03T00:18:00.000-05:00sounds like a fascinating read! my sister used to...sounds like a fascinating read! <BR/><BR/>my sister used to work for henson. it is quite a crew of dedicated, creative and fun people, but jim is missed VERY MUCH.drollgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098844996589898590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133929039186110257.post-80007179933884337402009-02-02T23:53:00.000-05:002009-02-02T23:53:00.000-05:00It's Indian version is called Galli Galli Sim Sim ...It's Indian version is called Galli Galli Sim Sim :-)..............................https://www.blogger.com/profile/08136275611209250517noreply@blogger.com
