I don't get it... What's so funny about the moon rising in the background as a dog plays the piano? What's "funny" at all about a piano playing dog, besides the sheer absurdity of it?
@NancyDrewGuru It's the Rowlf's reaction. He had to check the title of the piece (Moonlight Sonata, by the way) to figure why the moon was there. NancyDrewGuru, indeed.
(kidding, I just thought it was ironic. Love the name)
I love Julie Andrews, she's done some really good roles! One of her recent ones was the queen in "Princess Diaries" and it's sequel, really good films! She was also wonderful as Mary Poppins, I love the Step In Time scene where she spins around!
The show was taking a bold step using an actual cow in the five-foot platform. Had the cow misbehaved it would've thrown the whole production out of wack, but the cow proved to docile and a trooper through it all.
I second that. The stuff on TV and theaters these days are based more on flatulance and crude sexual humor, that it's not worth going to the movies or renting at the movie libraries or watching TV.
I third that! Why don't they make shows like these any more?!?! There was more fun, imagination, and charm in shows like The Muppet Show than what we see today!
@ilovejoejonasx I agree. Its all 3 second sound bite stuff because the 'people that know' (sic) seem to think that kids just don't have the attention span. The Clangers was a roughly built set with roughly built puppets but with complete stories. I dont know of a kid that was never glued to the set when it was shown. The Muppets is fast moving but there is always a theme.
I was wondering how old Andrews was when she did the program. She looks about the same age as when she did "Sound of Music" which is what the first singing sketch is ment to look like. She is now Dame Julie Andrews which is well deserved!
Cute cow. Funny beaver. Adorable Rowlf.
