Today's Webtip: Kermit the Angry Frog
Having grown up on Sesame Street, I'm pretty much a sucker for anything involving felt puppets and simple songs. One of my favorite Sesam Street sketches had to have been the Roving Reporter bit. The one that usually started out with "Hi Ho, Kermit theeeeee frog here..."
They were frequently retellings of familiar fairy tales, but with a twist. (Well aside from the fact that they featured a trench coat wearing frog, which is actually twisted enough).
Some broke from the formula. My all time favorite has to be one which pretty much sums up my first couple of years working as a roving radio journalist. Time spent doing man on the street interviews and stuff. On a good night they were brilliant, and the job was more fun than a barrel of whacked out monkeys and jello-pops. But on a bad night...
It turns out that the kiddies over at the Children's Television Workshop have posted loads of videos to YouTube, and one intrepid Mefite has picked out some of the best news reports.
Just in case you feel the need to see more.
