UFO episodes from Unsolved Mysteries. They were the best, weren’t they. Robert Stack’s hosting style—he could read computer code and make it seem grim and disturbing.

Three things define the early 90s for me: The Simpsons, grunge music, and Twin Peaks.
I was 13: not a kid anymore, not really a teen yet; I mean not the kind of teen you are when you’re 16. I used to ride to school on my bike thinking about Twin Peaks: the music, characters, scenes, the warm visuals, the whispering trees, just the strange, otherworldly sense around it. The suspense was murder. Everything seemed charged with mystery, even traffic lights and ceiling fans. Twin Peaks is the shadow version of America’s can-do optimism.
That’s where my head was for about a year, I was constantly thinking about Twin Peaks. None of the other kids in my class watched the show, so it felt like my own dream world. Nobody knew but me. But then it has been like that for most of my life.
Images from Jim Henson’s 1989 film noir, Dog City.
Jim himself was very pleased with it, calling it one of his favorite shows. And it indeed has to rank as one of the best things he did: you see it and realize what the modern Muppets often are missing. A little mayhem, a little anarchy, bad puns, a heart.
Rowlf featured in it too, by the way. And Fraggle Rock’s Sprocket appears, he gets thrown out of a bar.
*1970s music*
The terrifying intro to terrifying children’s series, CHILDREN OF THE STONES (1977). You’d think twice about going anywhere near standing stones after the eerie, discordant banshee wailing that accompanied these shots.
I always thought there was something sinister about the Gorgs from FRAGGLE ROCK, in their derelict, make-believe kingdom. The later design of Ma though obviously was an improvement over the early version (last image).
Some vintage SESAME STREET.
A few international Big Birds, from: Spain, Turkey, Holland, again Holland (an earlier version, and the one I remember), Portugal, and Mexico.
A few fonts and things from WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971). I always thought the candy in the film looked so unappetizing. Like jars of painted kidney stones. The chocolate river in the factory seemed filled with baby diarrhea or something, or like the murky stream near a refinery. But anyway—the film is a classic of course, and Gene Wilder is supreme in it: a cordial demon.
