Yep, that's Debbie Hoswell alright. Not only an early character from the early seasons of The Erica Crooks Show but a character from the early 2000s making her one of the first women characters performed by Erica Crooks. She started off as a parody of annoying teenage feminine girly girls that liked annoying music but eventually matured into an intelligent feminist.

The satirical dark comedy adult puppet sketch slapstick comedy show " The Erica Crooks Show " is back for it's Season 16 premiere episode !

Perhaps the INFP is the rarest personality type. Everyone else seems to be more grounded to Earth I suppose. INFPs often feel misunderstood.
Either people find us inspirational or perhaps they question an INFP's existence scientifically.

There's always discussion of this individual person in power or problem, etc. In my opinion, why not get to the root cause of it. It's always " the system is broken but it can be fixed ". Why not new inventions / ideas that's better ? Liberty, equality & peace for all ! 🌎❤️☮️

Featuring Chris Barrie & Steve Nallon.
When I heard about the Warner Bros Discovery merger, I thought, cool, MythBusters on HBO Max :). I didn't expect them to get rid of Classic Sesame Street ! So far, the original Looney Tunes cartoons is still on there. #HBOMaxJustCanceled #hbomax #warnerbrosdiscovery #popculture #mythbusters #looneytunes #classicsesamestreet #animation
If HBO Max gets rid of the exclusive classic era Sesame Street episodes ? Where else do you go ? If HBO Max gets rid of the original Looney Tunes shorts, Warner Bros is NOTHING without them. Why limit distribution ? 📀

Whenever people talk about satire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire & dark humor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_comedy , it's never called what it's called but instead it's a political discussion of what's ok and what isn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QMlQlKhUqw

There's people who enjoyed Fraggle Rock : Back To The Rock. Also all the creative / artistic hard work & effort of any production like this ( especially during the times of the pandemic ) is something to admire & appreciate as well as the advancement in puppetry filmmaking.
It's a reboot ( of a show that already had a general closure ) , " updated for modern times ". What does that exactly mean ?
Is the original problematic ?
We live in an age of streaming services where sometimes the original & reboot / remakes are beside each other ironically.
It's not mean to point out the facts that there's clearly differences between the two. It's called " artistic critique " ( probably more common among nostalgic fans who are the minority of fandom ).
The original had a strong political pacifism aspect to it as well as Jerry Juhl's humor. Back To The Rock is more gentle & the Fraggles talk in teenager slang ( among other things ).
Was the many changes necessary ? A change in modern times ( modern Democrat / Liberal ideology / Millennial & Generation Z " wokeness " ) or was it simply conforming to current demographic market research so it can " SELL " to modern audiences ( commodification ) or BOTH ?
In general, nostalgic fans prefer the quality of the originals ( & sometimes, other times ) which isn't present in the other stuff.
Even though Dave Goelz & Karen Prell returned as well as an episode written by Jocelyn Stevenson, still,
what would Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl, Richard Hunt & Jerry Nelson think ? Even though Frank Oz wasn't apart of Fraggle Rock, he has been outspoken about the changes of The Muppets ( & Sesame Street ) for 10 years now.
During the original 1989 - 1990 Henson / Disney deal , Jim Henson wanted them to understand the uniqueness of how he ran everything.
Would Jim, Richard & the two Jerrys be as outspoken about current times today ?

I've became aware of myself for 15 years total so far. I first came out as Androgyne in late 2007 / 2008 at a time where most people weren't aware of Nonbinary & today many people identify as Nonbinary. The internet was there for me in my self-growth and awareness journey. Becoming aware of myself but having trouble finding the right words & definition. So as a content creator , the other thing that I do is to help bring awareness about the very information that helped me with my self-growth , self-esteem / self-confident / self-love and helped me become more of me than ever before. However through out 2008 - 2013 , I knew I was attracted to female body masculinity ( Butch Lesbians ) and there was that feminine aspect of myself which I struggled to figured out what that meant until I came out as a Transgender Woman near the start of 2013. I was a Lesbian, just Transgender. I struggled looking at myself in the mirror smiling until after I came out.
At the same time, I know exactly how it feels to struggle if it's with my kind hearted mother in poverty surviving on disability income , diagnosed as Neurodivergent / Autism Spectrum / PTSD / ADD / ADHD / Depression / Social Anxiety / Anxiety related & being a victim of hate crime of all sorts all through my life online & offline. Including running away from an abusive, bigoted father & wicked step mother which my mother saved me from taking my life away. It cost me most of my belongings but it was either my stuff or my life, I choose life.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE ! Perhaps I'm not either. _ Erica ( she / her )

The Erica Crooks Show Proudly Celebrates 15 Years of LGBTQ+ Pride !
The satirical puppet / animated cartoon sketch comedy indie film show created by Nonbinary Androgynous Femme Transgender Lesbian Woman " Erica Crooks " has both spread LGBTQ+ awareness especially Nonbinary as well as satirize the bigotry of Transphobia, Homophobia, etc through out the show's history. The show even mirrored back fears of coming out of the closet and helped Erica Crooks come out of the closet first through " artistic expression ". Nonbinary characters have appeared on the show during the second season in 2007. And in 2008, a character who identified as Androgyne / Nonbinary debuted struggling to get people to understand them.
The Erica Crooks Show is much more than a sketch comedy show. It's a show that expresses true human emotions through the art of puppetry & cartoon animation. It's a show that always encouraged anyone to follow their heart, non-conform, and be their true selves. As well as have a satirical laugh at those negative authoritarian brainwashed serious people conformists who disagree because they don't matter !
In 2021, Erica Crooks directed the puppet short film ( featuring the cast of The Erica Crooks Show ) " Let The Show Go On... ( Regardless ) " which featured The Erica Crooks Show's known " Hand " characters who symbolized human like creatures who felt different from the world around them but always wanted to be accepted for who they are. They have been the earliest creation of the show as well as the artwork of Erica Crooks and reflects the heart, meaning & message of it all. YOU ARE NOT ALONE !

There's patriots who find it disrespectful when
people say HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY &
celebrate it like the 4th of July aka
Remember - Honor - Respect .
Patriotism / Nationalism Kneel for the Cross,
Stand & Salute to the flag, it's nothing more but
Authoritarian Right CRAP !
Sure we are grateful for what Liberty & Equality
we have but why must we be brainwashed into
this Authoritarian Right religion into believing
that War & Violence means
freedom, equality , security & all things good?
No one is superior to anyone !
Authoritarianism is the problem,
Anti-Authoritarianism is the solution.
Anarchism just means YOU WANT MORE
AND NOTHING BUT THE BEST THAT LIFE
CAN OFFER AND BEYOND WHAT
A WESTERN SO CALLED FREE COUNTRY CAN OFFER !
#anarchist #anarchism #antiauthoritarian #antiauthoritarianism #philosophy #anticapitalism #antinationalism #antipatriotism #spirituality #wisdom
It shouldn't be Liberty against Equality or Equality against Liberty. It should be a balance of both. If we find that common ground despite our differences, know what we want Universally / Internationally & keep it simple, we can work towards that better future better than any sort of complicated scientific analysis, hatred of anyone and anything that is perceived as Anti-Science, etc. It needs to have the approach of Love & Peace, not Hate & Fear ! Besides, when we are calm, we can think clearly. Sure people can find practical usefulness in meditation but to be a closed minded conspiracist ranting about how anything that's not the Authoritarian Left / Old Left being evil agenda is clearly hate and fear mongering. And the idea that Revolution can't be non-violence and peaceful and anything THEY disagree with and THEY feel they are in the legit Hierarchical Authority to destroy and silence voices ? I DISAGREE COMPLETELY !
Sure we all want truth and we are tired of being lied to. We are tired and sick of all the suffering in the world, especially our own personal lives as apart of the masses. Yes there is anger regarding the injustice of it all. But once again, I personally don't think the Authoritarian Left is the correct direction. Capitalism remains a problem BUT it shouldn't be separated from Authoritarianism because without it, Capitalism doesn't exist. Without Authoritarian Hierarchical power over others, Capitalism doesn't even exist. So therefore PEACE ! IT'S REALLY THAT SIMPLE !

Could you imagine a fluffy version of Oscar the Grouch singing Taylor Swift's " Shake it Off " but it's about recycling ? Is " I Love Trash " problematic, taboo, controversial & cancel culture now ? :(
Oscar the friendly recycle monster ? I don't think so.
Someone could easily look at the current version / new video and be like " Oh how cute ! Oscar & Grover are dancing together, that means they are FRIENDS ! AWWW ! "
That's not what it was like in the original !
THIS IS Oscar & Grover in the original ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXBkJC-Zscg
So is this ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_QVPdWstIk
Oscar was beyond a GROUCH ! It's no wonder he was thrown down the stairs ! https://youtu.be/USUjEXfTqf4?t=603
Even before " One of these things is not like the other " , Oscar's brother says " F**kin' SICK ! " https://youtu.be/xGYil8o88H4?t=569
Oscar even insulted advertisers in front of a nervous Dick Cavett.
https://youtu.be/Q65fKWU9S-U?t=684
Everything is LITERALLY reboot , changed , commodified , cancel culture , controversial & problematic.
Perhaps Oscar's trash can insults the scientific / objective minded.
It's a paranormal supernatural phenomenon vortex of some sort !
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Oscar%27s_trash_can
Sesame Street has changed since the 1990s ( Tickle Me Elmo era ) due to competition to keep the show on the air after 20 something episodes ( it's mentioned in the book Street Gang ).
Whenever people see puppets, people IMMEDIATELY think " little kids stuff ". More so regarding people's general perception of Sesame Street. That's right it's still called Sesame Street, not ELMO'S WORLD !
The art of Puppetry has a tradition in satire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBCvG1AXU8
And the original Sesame Street ( & The Muppets in general ) were VERY FUNNY & ENTERTAINING !
Anyway the whole idea of Oscar the Grouch becoming Oscar the friendly recycle monster reminds me of how Cookie Monster could be seen as " Veggie Monster ".
https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Is_Cookie_Monster_now_the_Veggie_Monster%3F?so=search
The current version just confirms everyone's stereotypical view on this show for " little kids ".
Classic Sesame Street / Old School Sesame Street was TOTALLY DIFFERENT !
There's lots of stuff that's entertaining for adults. It's comedy, rock & pop music, etc. The Muppets were known for general audiences because that's how the entertainment industry used to be.
I talk about this further in my essay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-6HwK2t3I4
Yes, there was a philosophy of community in the mix as well ( even if it wasn't clearly specifically Anarchism / Leftism ).
