I was also going to say that the song Elmo played during that segment I mention, it actually went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1975.

During the bluegrass segment, does it sound like Elmo is playing John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy"? ~Ben

Thank you! ~Ben

Does anyone know what episode contains the musical sequence wherein Fozzie Bear is "Bear Brown" and plays the upright bass, and Scooter and Skeeter on cellos? Thank you, Ben Edge (BigBirdABCDEFGH)

Back by popular demand, it's our third installment in the Old School series, covering 1979-1984. In this set you'll see your Sesame Street friends on and off the Street! Remember when everyone surprised Maria in Puerto Rico for her birthday? Or when Snuffy and Gordon ran the New York City...

I can't think of any off-hand right now. Still waiting...

For many years, according to the never-so-trustworthy Wikipedia, the target viewing age has been 3-5 yrs. of age (preschool), but in the years after 1998, with the debut of the Elmo's World segment, the target age actually dropped to 2-3 yrs. (pre-kindergarten). If anyone else knows better...

Hi, I have a curious question about both the target age gap (the people watching the show at home) and the age gap of the children (aside from the regularly-appearing kid stars, such as Miles) who participate on each and every episode of Sesame Street through the years: is it true that much of...

Is it true that each Sesame Street episode is usually taped one month prior to its intended air date? Some episodes were actually taped only one day before it was scheduled to air. If anyone could give me the exact answer as to episode shooting durations, please reply. ~Ben

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWP42HDsV2M Does anyone here know why this episode of Global Grover turns up on episode 4062 instead of the one where he's in Mongolia? I watched this particular episode twice on Sprout On Demand, and it is this clip where Asha dances on stilts to a song called...

One part of this particular segment is devoted to a bunch of people playing the "Alphabet Song/Twinkle Twinkle Little Star/Baa Baa Black Sheep" melody. It starts first with a black boy with a mohawk playing a piano; then goes to a black girl with braids playing a violin; then shifts to some...

I need help determining whether or not the solo on the "Pinball Number Count" segments for numbers 3, 8 and 11 is done on an electric guitar or, perhaps, the Wurlitzer model EP200 electric piano??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wurlitzer_electric_piano I know there is an electric piano heard in...

I wonder if we could petition to get the following "Old School" volumes released on DVD in the future? *Volume 3 (1979-1984) *Volume 4 (1984-1989) *Volume 5 (1989-1994) *Volume 6 (1994-1999) I would be all for volumes 3, 4 and 5, since Volume 6 would be intended for those people who mainly...

I also want to point out this film segment re-appeared on episodes 2484 (1987-88 season) and 3937 (2001 season). ~Ben

Since when will the rights be cleared as to the "Happy Birthday to You" song during one part of this particular sketch? That popular song, about celebrating one's birthday, is copyrighted. My favorite parts of this episode (first seen on episode 3826): *Some girl is playing a kazoo made out of...
