April Fools: Out to Lunch on YouTube

[minor muppetz]

Somebody has finally found the rare Sesame Street/Electric Company crossover special "Out to Lunch" and has posted it all on YouTube! This user also claims to have a copy of the rare "Sesame Street at Night" special and the second test pilot and intends on uploading those two very soon as well.

Here's a listing of what video links I really posted, in case any of those get removed (or in case the links won't work for certain people).

The first link posted was to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" (that's right, I rickrolled some of you). The second link was a clip of the flower shop scene from the infamous movie The Room. The third link was to a video I made, Yucky Sharms. And the fourth link was a spanish-language car commercial, showing how Speedy Gonzales gets his speed.

so your saying that thier is a person that has found some sesame street material and they are going to upload it on you tube, would thier be a name that it goes under, and i wonder if that is a april fools joke or some random prank.

I thought it was obvious this was an april fools joke, due to the "Happy April Fools Day" line at the very bottom and the fact that the links go to different videos (and in my second post here I said what the links were, in case any get taken down).

How difficult would it be to find this special? Who is the best person to contact to see if they have this special?

I would expect ABC or Sesame Workshop to be the best. Though a few months ago I saw a post somewhere where someone contacted Sesame Workshop, learned that ABC owns the rights to the special, contacted ABC, and was told that ABC had no trace of the special.

A few clips were recently shown at some Henson event, so I'd assume that The Jim Henson Company has a copy in its archives.

I've read that back in 2006 somebody uploaded a few clips from the special, only for them to be taken down. Anybody remember the channel name? I assume it's not anybody from here, Tough Pigs, or Muppet Wiki... And if I'm right then it'd be weird that somebody who isn't us has a copy of the special.

The clips were part of a Sesame screening, so I don't think the JHC owns it.

How can we get copies of it from the companies though?
