Oz actually did do a few segments for Season 31 (not sure if they were voice only or if he was actually on set), but they were mostly those weird linking segments with Bert and Bernice and the ones with Grover in front of a purple background. That’s also him as Cookie in the new version of “What...

Does anyone else remember the Saturday Night Live sketch where Taraji P. Henson crosses over with Sesame Street? It aired in April 2015, during the early stages of filming for Season 46. So, technically, the new sets for that year actually debuted on some random SNL sketch!

I’ve barely watched any of the HBO episodes, but from what I’ve seen, a big liability to the show is the 30-minute running time. Having a whole hour used to work to their favor, but now, they think children can’t handle slow moments anymore, so they cut it down.

Man, this really sucks. We’ll never be able to hear that beautiful singing voice again.

That was indeed the intention. Here’s what Muppet Wiki has to say: “The curriculum for Season 7 focuses on children with learning disabilities through segments based on research by the Joseph P. Kennedy Foundation. The segments will be presented each Wednesday during the first 20 minutes of the...

Happy to be of service. You never know what you might find online.

I was browsing the American Archive of Public Broadcasting website, and I came across a promo video for Wichita’s PBS station which features a brief scene from Episode 1350: https://americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-aacip-99939ba6b21 Yeah, I know this isn’t a YouTube video, but I doubt we’ll ever...

Same here. I was the only kid in my Kindergarten class who knew how to read, and it was all thanks to this show.

These puppets look like they were taken out of Gerry Anderson’s trash bin, and the music was produced by a Casio keyboard (I know this because I have that exact keyboard).

Well, they’ve succeeded in doing that. They’ve repackaged the series into short 10-15 segments called “Reading Between the Lions”, one of which you can see here: Note that this one includes a scene from one of the missing episodes. There’s also a bunch of non-BTL stuff in it that I don’t know...

Hey, is that orange monster supposed to be Frazzle?

After a long hiatus, I've come back with another filming location. This was seen in the intro sequence from at least 1978 until some time in the mid-80's. The location is next to the McGraw-Hill Building between W 48th and W 49th Streets. In case you're wondering, it's still there. I took...

This is the intersection of Winchell Mountain Road and Pulver Road just east of Millerton, NY

The SS Muppets are appearing on my local news station at noon today! I'm probably going to be out of the house at that time so I recorded it for later

This is around the intersection of Central Park West and 81st Street.
