Even though I'm basically guessing, I have a hunch the 1992 re-recording of Sam Pottle's theme to "Monsterpiece Theater" was orchestrated by Dave Conner. It sounds like something he would've done, with that lush orchestral feel.

I've seen that thumbnail as well. I knew right off the bat it was just a digitally-colorized version of that photo we've seen numerous times before, and figured it was another video explaining about how that episode is currently lost. Plus, I can tell that footage was edited, since the witch...

Back on topic, here's another one of those bizarre Etienne Delessert cartoons from either 1973 or 1974 that hasn't been found in English yet. I'm guessing it's a reimagining of the fable with the moral "Don't count your chickens before they've hatched." I wonder if this is partly where the...

Definitely Grover. But I've noticed how Frank Oz has a tendency to ham up virtually all Muppet characters he performs, including on "Sesame Street." Grover has many hammy moments, but so does Cookie Monster, and Bert sometimes does as well. And then there's all those minor and one-off characters...

I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being similar to the Paul Lynde Halloween Special that Margaret Hamilton reprised her role as the Wicked Witch of the West in, ALSO from 1976... Though in this, the Wicked Witch is a bit more comical and fun-loving compared to her truly terrifying portrayal...

And I'm also reminded of when PBS unofficially banned Episode 3833 from being rerun due to how CTW and PBS found it a bit too scary, where Telly keeps seeing a mysterious alien-like "X" appear out of fog and it references "The X-Files" quite a bit. BUT, it resurfaced on cable some years...

Yeah, I was wondering if any other "nightmare fuel" segments were included, like some of Etienne Delessert's really bizarre cartoons (such as the ogre face on a hill with the Irish music, the mutant rabbit chasing kids to fast rock music, or the "face morph" ones), the Crack Master (though given...

Pretty cool! Bob doesn't look that much different from how he did in the 1990s. Hard to believe he's 86, and he's still going strong. He's just amazing.

This morning, SesameWorkshop uploaded a fun new video to the official Sesame Street YouTube channel... Gordon reads us the 1992 Sesame Street book "We're Different, We're the Same." Elmo and Abby Cadabby make a few appearances too. It's a nice little video, and I especially enjoyed it as I...

I noticed according to Wikipedia and the Muppet Wiki that the airdates for Season 7 and 8 seem somewhat in accurate. Well, on Wikipedia the airdates for Season 8 seem accurate, but it says Season 7 began airing on December 2, 1989 with "It's Only Pretendo." I don't think that's true. Consider...

Funny that happened around the time I made this video talking about YouTube and copyrights...

That would be a pretty clever touch. I'v'e also thought of an idea for a new Mysterious Theater host: Diana Pigg! As you'd expect, she would be a pig version of Diana Rigg, wearing a black dress, and maybe at the start of her introduction and end of her closing she'd be eating out of a pigs' trough!

I am certain you are joking...

I may have mentioned before that the "Yakity Yakity Yak" scared me as a kid with the way the yak goes nuts and charges at the screen, breaking it. Well, Episode 3012 made it worse for me: after the crash and everything is black, the "NEWS FLASH" logo rapidly ZOOMS in right after! It's almost as...

SesameWorkshop has uploaded the infamous News Flash 3-part segment about Kermit and the snowstorm, in high definition no less! It even includes Kermit's "I'M GONNA GET YA HARVEY KNEESLAPPER!"

I don't know if it's just me, but I noticed Jim Henson performed a LOT of Large Lavender Live Hand Anything Muppet minor/one-off characters.

Oh yes; I'll still be living in my same hometown. It won't affect my Internet activity at all.

Oh, but I do! I just haven't had much time to do as many lately as we are preparing to move to a new house, just in time for Christmas.

Doug Walker has reviewed "A Muppet Family Christmas!" Pretty fun stuff. He even gave the Swedish Chef fake subtitles, just like in my YouTube Poop I did of the special five years ago in memory of Jerry Nelson.

Oh I see. I was kind of thinking of how for a long time actual kids would appear on "Sesame Street," but ever since the recent reformatting I don't know how often that happens anymore. I even remember how in the 70s, the kids would see with Mr. Snuffleupagus and play with him, even before the...
