I can't get into Muppets post Jim Henson. My mom made me a huge Sweetums mask 36 years ago, and I still wear it on Halloween. Nice to see your love of puppetry. And, as I read, anybody who like laugh tracks and the movie Fatso (one of my favorites) has to be a nice guy. Joe, I wouldn't normally be so bold, but since you and I were in a great deal of agreement on Ken's blog, I wanted to pass something along to you. Posting it may not be the best way...as I'm truly not trying to self-promote. But I can't find a way to email you. If you are a fan of MASH (and you may just be a casual one), I co-authored and did the cover for a big, fat 800 page book on the show. I won't type the name of it, here (so as to de emphasize the self-plug angle), but just type my name and MASH on Amazon and it'll pop up. Anyway, you may or may not be interested. I receive no more profits from the sale of it, so I'm just passing along the info to you, in case you're a fan.<br /> By the way, as you mentioned on Ken's blog, yes...that laugh track from the 60's and 70's was used on many shows. There's one particular laugh or guffaw that I always recognize. I like that The Muppet Show utilized a laugh track, as well (or maybe the Muppets in the audience really were laughing!).<br /> Anyway, I enjoyed reading your posts, today. See you around.
