Big Bird in China is an actual special that aired in 1983. Inspired by a trip of China that Big Bird actor Caroll Spinney took to film a Bob Hope special, the special features the famed Sesame Street character as he, along with his pet dog and a Chinese girl, search the country for clues to find a legendary phoenix.

With the introduction of TiVo, a big controversy in recent years is the product's ability to allow the user to fast forward the commercials. Since advertising plays a big role in funding the networks the cash needed to produce various shows, there's a fear that a lot of people converting to TiVo will result in a major loss of revenue. To help deal with the situation, TiVo has begun testing "pop- up" ads in which a static images ad would appear when a person fast forwards certain commercials.

What did they call it last time they referred to it? Wild Life in the Large Metropolitan Area?

The original concept and the spoof are both hilarious. The first time I saw an add for "Pimp my Ride", I thought it was a joke. When the show actually started, I couldn't believe it.

Is it just me or does anyone else think that Mahoney's performance as the Terwilliger Pater familias (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_familias) was rather odd?

I can connect Grammer's and Pierce's voices with their Frasier characters but Mahoney's accent was just not right somehow. It had no connection with Martin Crane at all.
