Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I thought of including a few others, but these were the ones who stuck outmost in my mind at the time.

Oh never mind, I should have read the poll question more carefully! The Krofft's are alive and well as far as I know. But really they may as well be dead since no one has seen anything produced by them since the 1970's. LOL Any of you remember The Bugaloos, Pufnstuf, Land of the Lost? Hmm maybe they are just characters I made up in my head to get through my strange childhood. LOL.

hmmm...had to go with Jim Henson, because the poll wasn't for "Best all around human being in a long, long time", which Mr. Rogers would be the champ :*)...In the Baltimore viewing area we had "Professor Kools Fun School", school taught by a local media person dressed as a clown...was terrified thats where I had to go to school...Fox 45 had "Capt. Chesapeake", with his sidekick puppet Moandy the Sea Monster (vague reference to "Chessie", the Chesapeake Bays' answer to the Loch Ness Monster)...got his autograph when I was seven...signed "To Matt, Ahoy Crewmember!"...Moms told him 3 times what my name was...he was *hiccup* distracted I guess...On a bright note we did have "Romper Room" with Miss Sally...Everyone remembers Doobie, as in "do be a good bee"....

My vote was for Shari Lewis. What magic she created with sock puppets! I never once growing up felt like they were puppets. They were alive, you could see the emotions in the puppets and I could relate to them.
They got in trouble doing all the bad things real kids do. Best of all, Shari showed them love and that they would always be loved no matter what they did. Made me realize that I could be loved even though I didn't always do good things.
No strings, no one else to work the puppets, no other voice actors. Shari did it all with love, and finesse. I truly admired the woman when I grew up and realized that they were sock puppets and that she was able to perform that well.
Not technologically advanced, but she gets my vote for the love and the magic.
