06.29.08 by Widge @ 8:52 pm I know we've got a lot of George Carlin these days, but I don't think we're offending anybody. Except Fred Phelps. And we know he can't actually read, so it's all good. Here's Carlin's guest appearance from Welcome Back Kotter from February 17, 1977. This is off the second season, which is not available on DVD yet. And a quick note: I know the episode looks like it's turning into a lobster bucket, but relax, that's all good too. Direct link for the feedreaders. Categorized as: TV

06.29.08 by Widge @ 2:15 am If I had time to watch television (or indeed, if I still had cable--that might help too), I'd make time to watch both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Because everything I see from them is brilliant. But alas, I have no life. Never become a webmaster--that is my advice to you. Regardless, Mark Evanier posted this from Colbert...and it's positively sublime. Categorized as: TV

06.27.08 by Widge @ 8:08 pm  Kermit Love was an artist who you knew even if you didn't know you knew him. The LaChoy Dragon was one of his creations with Jim Henson and he built Big Bird and Snuffy for Sesame Street. He portrayed the live-action Willy, the hot dog vendor, on the show. He also designed the Snuggle bear. Beyond Muppets, he also did costume design work over the course of his career with Orson Welles, Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine, among others. He passed away due to heart failure at age 91. You can find more info at the Muppet Wiki. Thanks for everything, Kermit. Rest well. Categorized as: TV
