Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
Sesame Street. I was raised on it, I will always love it, and as far as I’m concerned, it can do no wrong. What? Come on now, well made children’s programming never hurt anyone and we all know that moderation and moderation are the keys, yo. Anyway. I’m all grown up now so I prefer [...]
If you thought you had to take your kids to political rallies and demonstrations to turn them into good socialists, you’re dead wrong. All you have to do is park them in front of the television. “I like Jack Layton,” he said pointing at the big orange signs we passed on the way to school [...]
The powers-that-be at Sesame Street have been denying for years that Bert and Ernie are, you know, a couple – those separate beds should be the giveaway, no? – but here’s a thought: just because they’re not a couple doesn’t mean that one or the other of them isn’t gay, right? Which means that this [...]
Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canadians. I know that it seems ridiculous to our American friends to have Turkey Day before Hallowe’en, but you know Canadians: we like to be different. Speaking of different, have you seen this version of the now infamous Old Spice commercial? That’s right, it’s Grover as the Old Spice guy and [...]
Who the hell cares whether or not Sesame Street ever airs that Katy Perry segment? Not me. Not when they have VAMPIRES. MUPPET VAMPIRES. Sure, Sesame Street has had the Count for, like, forever – which, yes, puts it years ahead of Joss Whedon – but this True Blood spoof is definitive proof that when [...]
I dare you to not feel uplifted after watching this. I also dare you to not tap your toes. I’m not going to dare you to not get a little weepy, because that’s probably just me.
In case you needed more proof that Canada is awesome, have a look at what you can do in Florenceville, New Brunswick starting this month: That’s a Sesame Street maze, which I think is awesome, although I know it won’t be for everybody. Like, say, people who are afraid of mazes. Which, you might be, [...]
The Muppets make me happy, just purely and simply happy. Growing up with them has provided me with many a happy television-related memory, and in the pop culture museum of my heart they are placed alongside treasures like Charlie’s Angels, The Bionic Woman, Donny & Marie, and Land of the Lost. But the Muppets and [...]
Did you watch the premiere of the new season of Mad Men the other night? Did you drink a martini while you watched? Did you find yourself wondering what it would look like if Jim Henson had done Mad Men? Were you drunk when you imagined that? Does it matter? Why are we still even [...]
If you do nothing else today, be sure to take one minute and fifty-four seconds to watch this ‘modern-day’ Sesame Street video clip. Shot somewhere around the mid to late 90s, it features two Weimaraners baking homemade loaves of bread, and it’s gone… wait for it!… straight to the dogs.
Who’s your favourite Muppet?
