Okay, I love TV puppets...I loved these shows with human and puppet characters much more than cartoons as a kid.
My hands down favorite was Pee-Wees Playhouse, with Chairy. "Get Outta Bed, there'll be no more napping!"

I'll give an awesome virtual prize to the first person who can tell me who these two dudes from "The Muppet Show" are named.

Not really news... but it's big. And probably one of the better kids shows on the air today.

This goes along with the story that I posted in 4.0 about Meatless Mondays in Baltimore schools
Jon Stewart ended an interview with climate-change contrarian and Super Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt on Monday night by noting, "I've apparently frightened our audience by suggesting that conservation isn't the only way out of any of the problems of the world. I sincerely apologize."
He added, "And I do also believe that we should just eat vegetables."

POOR Miss Piggy. Like most aging stars in Hollywood, that prima donna pig, along with most of her Muppet pals, has struggled to find substantial roles. Almost nobody under the age of 30 remembers “Pigs in Space.” All everyone wants to talk about is this Hannah Montana person.

Lady Gaga has been flaunting her love for all things Muppet for a few months, from her Animal skirt to her date with Kermit the Frog at the VMAs. And now Katy Perry has gotten in on the act, turning up today at Jean Charles Castelbejac’s fashion show in a festive frock printed with all our favorite fuzzy friends. We love that pop music has room for two whimsical fashionistas, but we can’t help but compare their dresses.

Barry's colonoscopy journal:
======================
I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy.
A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis ..
Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner.

I've been feeling very nostalgic lately, so I figured I'd post some of the things that I remember fondly.
1. "My So-Called Life"
Even though I was 19 when this show first aired on NBC, I was OBSESSED with this show about high school sophomores.
