Well, actually, I think the trick/joke was on Jim too. Frank was the director and he cast an authentic reverend to play the reverend in the movie playing the part of... you get the picture. Go to 5:58 -- Jim Henson: "You see, Kermit and I don't think that he's married, you see? Piggy and...

What a busy day! Kermit's been on... NBC-Washington http://www.nbcwashington.com/video/#!/on-air/as-seen-on/Tracee-s-Kermit-Exclusive/134840158 CBS News- Washington http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7390195n#ixzz1fJ985IPH CNN with Wolf Blitzer http://www.toughpigs.com/frog-wolf/

To take it a step further, Walter has TMTM on DVD too. http://zapp5.staticworld.net/images/article/2011/11/eg_007_020_comp_v032.0026-5242603.jpg

Hi guys, I too assumed that the codes meant season-sketch. Based on the (very) few sources I've seen, my next guess is that the second number represents the tape reel it would be recorded on. It isn't too far-fetched to imagine them cutting costs by using remaining space on an old reel from...

Hi all, I got the same e-mail from Sesame Workshop. It's not the first time they've asked people to sponsor an initiative through American Express's program. I'm sure that any increase in funding is welcome and could increase production values somewhat. Also, we all know that funding isn't...

Those Christmas clips weren't there in the first few days. They're new.

Sesame Workshop is NOT on the list of struck companies on the WGA web site. Of course, that's no guarantee of anything. It's probable for Sesame projects that are subcontracted, like inserts, or The New Electric Company. Unfortunately, I think putting together new compilation shows counts as...

Here's a preview revealing some of the bonus clips: http://store.sesameworkshop.org/product/show/30214

Actually all the descriptions in the guide come from the official CTW documents. Those are the legal/production titles of the songs and sketches.

Sadly, the "Carraway Street" parody is contained in Episode 172, which is one of the 24 (of 230) episodes that has not yet surfaced from collectors. I didn't remember it at all, and this description is the best I've seen. I wasn't even sure if it was a Muppet segment or a parody. (Over at...

In the history someone cited that Unpaved p. 42 says directly that he "died of cancer." Then someone reversed the edit. We also know, as told on the next page, that Caroll Spinney spoke with Will Lee, apparently on the set, while Lee was "very ill" and four days before death. So, it was not an...

I'm not "gone;" I just tend to work on it in spurts and waves. I guess it's been about a month now, hasn't it? I don't know why, but this time when I took my leave everyone else stopped also. I guess there are just so many Wiki projects at this point... Thank you to whoever put up Episode...

Today marks 20 years since Square One TV premiered. That was a PBS show all about math. If anyone wants to come, I'm trying to get some fans of the show to visit the Museum of TV & Radio in New York tomorrow (Sat.), meeting at noon. You can read more about it and celebrate the anniversary...

I had tons of SS items, especially of the books. My favorite, though, was the Sesame Street Alphabet Roadway. In fact, I'd like to be playing with it right now.

It seems the entire Wikia.com is down. I checked the Wikipedia discussion page concerning Wikia, and it appears there have been brief outages before. So, I'll think positively.
