This week is Wilkins and Wontkins. They said they would be including pre-Sesame Street characters, but I guess this is the first ones definitely owned by The Jim Henson Company.

I kept being surprised as I watched The Jim Henson Hour episode. At first I thought it would cover all the remaining characters, then they said it would mainly be Vicki, Leon, and Lindbergh, then they talked a little about the remaining Solid Foam, then it was taken over by talk about Zhondra...

I also found that one of the Tubi edits (forget which episode) leaves out Seven Monsters. Making me wonder if they needed to work out a deal with Maurice Sendak (or someone else who worked on it) or if they are left out for the same reasons they stopped airing. It is sad that animation segments...

Today I watched the season 30 episode where a garden is built, and the Tubi version leaves in The Alphabet Song, which features Ellen DeGeneres among the celebrities. Don't know if it's different when it's just a small part vs. a starring role in a segment, but she's not completely left out of...

It would be a little cool if when they swap episodes, they have a little focus on certain characters when choosing (of course they're most likely not choosing episodes based on whether the same fan favorites are in them). Like if all episodes in the next batch included some Biff and Sully...

Wow, and HBO Max put classic episodes on so soon after an Ellen DeGeneres segment was included on the DVD release of Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration. Surprised they didn't just cut her scene (more surprised they otherwise included the whole season).

Obviously.

Alan Muraoka revealed on Facebook that next season on Sesame Street, Alan will sell Hooper's Store (but will still be a regular). The store will be sold to descendants of Mr. Hooper's family, once again putting Hooper's Store under Hooper ownership. We'll get a whole Hooper family running...

Today is the day. I skimmed through the list of episodes, did not notice any that were not on HBO Max (I did focus more on season 22 and under).

So has Ellen done something controversial in recent years? I looked at the guide and her segment easily could have been cut if that's the problem.

For a few months at the end of last year and start of this year, I downloaded songs from the album Fair is Fair, a few months ago I finally finished it. And Fair is Fair is a great album. I'd say it's underrated, doesn't really come up often. It feels like the kind of variety of the show. We...

We have just one day to see what all is included (off-hand I don't know how many season 1-38 episodes were on HBO Max so I don't know if it's all of those).

I don't really know the "why" of it. In thinking about it, I wonder if I would have felt this way if the podcasts were posted on the day the characters were announced (like the first episode). In thinking more, the official celebration gave us a lot more than the podcast (though the podcast...

I meant to post here sooner but kept forgetting, but the Miss Mousey episode was a good one, with somebody portraying Miss Mosey like she's a real person. The current one is Nigel (the director), that is a good one as well.

I feel like this second season of the podcast is a little less exciting than the officially-approved first season. The podcast went along with an actual publicity stunt from The Muppet Studios, where the character was announced and then the podcast came two days later. Now that it's just the...
