Of course with Elmo being the star, his clip comes first. What's interesting is how Cookie Monster's debut in the first episode comes immediately after, followed by Abby Cadabby's debut. Sometimes it seems Cookie Monster is Elmo's biggest co-star, sometimes it's Abby, and sometimes both Cookie...

Finally, I never thought I'd see this again! I remember this from when I was little. It's like listening to Jessica Rabbit read a bedtime story.

And yep, such sound effects would often be done live as the show was being taped! Dick Maitland gets interviewed in this podcast from Sound Ideas...

A very interesting episode of the "Tonebenders" podcast from Sound Ideas about sound design on "Sesame Street", with interviews with Steve "Major" Giammaria and Dick Maitland!

Over a year old, but I felt like sharing something interesting the official "Family Guy" TwitterX account did: https://fixupx.com/AniDom/status/1966208971468886323 They actually made a re-post of SesameWorkshop's official post of the 1972 "I Can Remember" animated sketch, with the time Peter...

Of course, since Jim Henson had a knack for performing game show host Muppets (i.e. Guy Smiley) and apparently a preference for live-hand puppets over rod ones, it's not too surprising he performed Pat Playjacks.

It's interesting to think of reasons why certain segments would stop being rerun, not really because of controversies or anything. It's pretty clear those two segments where Count von Count uses hypnotic powers to get his way were phased out in the late 1980s because they heavily clash with the...

That was my blog entry! That was cool you got to see the show as a kid in the 70s. I was always curious about it. And yeah, some of those Looney Tunes character costumes REALLY pale in comparison to the ones used at the Six Flags parks, or the really good new ones at Warner Bros. World in Abu...

I enjoyed several episodes of the show, even if it was trying to be "totally radical". I like Sam's computer expertise and Twister's videography skills, and there were some genuinely funny episodes (such as "Double-O Twistervision" where the gang makes their own action spy movie, "Beach Boyz and...

That also explains why many "Sesame Street" picture books only focus on the Muppets, often featuring them as the only characters, with various Anything Muppets to fill any human roles. And even if any of the human cast members appear, it's often only one of them, such as Susan in "Everyone Makes...

I remember that. There were a few times where I would comment that I could tell which episode the clip came from by what was seen before, but I wouldn't request to upload any clips from said episode!

A subversion, where I added "Inspector Gadget" music to another classic "Sesame Street" moment several kids found to be creepy... I especially like how it came out after Kermit broke Humpty Dumpty again, the way that particular music track plays out.

The English version makes WAY more sense: Even with that somewhat uneasy thing we usually got with Etienne Delessert's artwork and animation, it's a fun little musical number about how eggs have a distinct oval shape. And just like I speculated, it works in the message about not counting your...

Regarding David Rudman, I've noticed the Airplane Muppet in the "Elmo's World" segment about Public Transportation sounds a LOT like Scooter. Yet Rudman didn't actually start performing Scooter until ten years after that segment was made! Though it's entirely possible Rudman was unavailable in...

Even Baby Bear's new puppet design in Season 30 was a big improvement, actually looking like a young bear cub, the way his face was shaped along with the little hair tuft on his head. Felt more unique and had more personality compared to basically looking like a generic bear Muppet before then.
