I still think that the musicians on the show are the same ones as the ones on Avenue Q.
Oh, by the way, last Saturday's episode had a song written by Bobby Lopez and his brother, Billy.
Sutton's episode and "Dr.Basil" are now available on iTunes
Leslie Carrara-Rudolph also posted a bunch of Ginger-centric clips on her website

Anybody watch?
I'm in love with this show
Both "Episodes/Stories" today were great !! The "Aloha Johnny" song (aka "the guilt song" LOL) was hysterical !!!!
Root is just too darn cute !!!!
It seems that Johnny has older sister named Lena
More surprise guest star siblings?
Btw, how cute was that Frog today !!?? The orange guy !!!

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't the "Aloha" one a rerun?
Think that was a new one---- the repeat episodes (I believe) have all been on Sunday, except for maybe "Turbo" Johnny.
No, "Aloha" was new
All the episodes stay together in twos so they wouldn't randomly mix and match them

I JUST read about that on Leslie Carrara's newsletter, so I missed it.
I had no idea he was going to be on. I couldn't sleep and was channel surfing and heard the 'Sprites' theme song and thankfully the guy had said that John would be up next. It was an adorable interview. I taped it but I have no way of getting it onto the comuter, otherwise I would.
I LOVE this show. I have a 4-year old cousin, and whenever I'm at home and the show comes on, she always pulls me to the TV. We sing along to every song that we know (oh gosh she knows SO MANY); she is just amazed at Johnny and his sprites. She loves them so much that her #2 goal in life is to be on Johnny and the Sprites. (after becoming the Pink Power Ranger, of course haha)
I MUST have Root Plush----- NOW !!!!
Ok... who wrote the "Pass Thru the Portal" song???
EXCELLENT !!!

I have a feeling that the Sprites will probably become Disney characters at MGM within the next year or so

I hope so!
And I hope the show comes over to us over here in England.
When ET opened, someone asked Elaine May what she thought of the Speiberg movie. Her response:
"I couldn't wait for that little puppet to die."
With all due respect, I have had a lifelong issue with fur balls that speak and sing in a squeaky and enthusiastic manner.
My apologies.

Old News: IT GOT PICKED UP FOR A SECOND SEASON!!! YAAAYYY!!!
I'm a little late on this one (watching eps on itunes instead of waking up early on the weekends), but I too thought Go Through the Portal was a wonderful song. In fact the whole "Root of Passage" was perhaps my favorite half-episode so far. Root is just adorable, so yay or him being featured, I loved the song, and John sang it as a solo, allowing him to show off his voice.
Also love the little in-jokes in the shows, i. e. "not a key change" during Sprites Sleepover.
And I don't think I posted it here, Seymour is Batley! I'm not way too excited about that btw.
Was watching the repeated episode last week, when John was sick-
Love the part when he picks up that green furball, Carl, instead of the phone by accident---
I was laughing like a big moron--- wife still wants to know what I found funny about it.
So My roommates thought I was crazy for tivoing this show but it is amazing. Love it. The into the portal song was simply amazing.
Anyone watching ? Wow, what a great song !! Think it was called "Time To Wake Up"- John showing off that falsetto !!
