    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This was uploaded last June, but I haven't said anything about it here yet... This was most likely the debut of that stock Jerry Nelson announcer spiel recording they'd generally use for the remainder of Sesame Street News's run, back in Season 13. Given it only aired once more in Season 14...

    TV Tropes

    In June 2021, I was suspended from editing on TV Tropes due to substandard grammar. For two years I would post on their "Get Help With English Here" thread to improve my trope grammar skills, and then in August 2023 my suspension was lifted, as long as for longer examples I test them out in the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Interesting how they made an English version of this without the opening title card and theme music. (I've seen "Mysterious Theater" on foreign "Sesame Street" co-productions dubbed into the program's native language and similarly lacking the opening and theme music.) I wonder if there were...

    Disco D vs. D Duah Dua

    My vote goes for "D Duah Duah", or as I call it, "Be My D", as that's what I grew up with as a kid. And yeah, I initially thought Bushman Bill was a little freaky, but it's still a great song, and another instance of the show hiring a professional female vocal group to perform a song for a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Has anyone seen this yet? It's a 16mm master copy of one of my childhood fears: the Yakity Yakity Yak animation! What's interesting is how the Yak's dialogue is clearly a different set of takes than what was heard on the show.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    My mistake; that float was actually retired. But yeah, the way NBC now considers the Radio City Rockettes a bigger attraction in the parade over the floats and balloons is a real shame (like saying "And the rest!") Again, this is why aside from the "Sesame Street" float and a couple other parts...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Not surprisingly, NBC's telecast of the parade skipped a few floats, including the Blue's Clues And You one. Not too surprising, given they now prioritize all the Broadway performances and the Radio City Rockettes over the floats and balloons, even the new ones. (After announcing all the musical...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Of course, I loved seeing Julia in the float with her noise-cancelling headset, along with the brief bit of Oscar refusing to sing along. I also liked the song, since I do enjoy the Nutcracker suite. The way they sung "Best Christmas Ever" to the tune of the Nutcracker Overture reminded me of...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    I just saw a quick glimpse of the "Sesame Street" float before the "Back to the Future" performance. It shouldn't be long now! Of course, up until now, I watched much of the parade on CBS, where they focus more on the actual parade and balloons and floats, and then when it's nearly time for the...

    Hanna-Barbera

    When I read the stories, I hear Papa Bear's 1980s voice (Brian Cummings) alongside Mama Bear's 2000s voice. They seem to fit the characters the best, to me that is. Funny enough, I seem to have done more YouTube Poops of the 2000s series than the 1980s series. Also, after Southern Star was...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This looks to be a rerun from a Season 16 - 19 episode, given the way the "NEWS FLASH" logo zooms in, as was common with reruns of older Sesame Street News segments during those seasons (i.e. segments from the 1970s and early 1980s).

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This has been officially uploaded; probably my favorite instance of Jerry Nelson doing a female voice... I also like the Kevin Clash-voiced bunny that says "Hi, lady!" and "Bye, lady!"

    The Official "I'm looking for/trying to remember a sketch" thread

    I still think that "Fairytale Update" with Rapunzel from the early 90s was originally written in the late 80s as a Sesame Street News segment with Kermit the Frog. But Jim Henson's death led to the script being shelved. But then they dusted it off in Season 24 and re-wrote it without Kermit as a...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    It was kind of intense, along with the kid falling with his piano (of course since he was a Muppet, he probably only got minor injuries), but it did teach me to recognize the word "DANGER" as a young kid, to the point where even at age four I could read and recognize "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" signs...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Heh, it's funny seeing and hearing the Count use one of the Amazing Mumford's magic spells and saying "Ala peanut butter sandwiches!" I wonder if there's an episode where Biff says it? It's also a rare instance when the Count's storm cloud produces rain! His thunder spell probably made the...
