Since Joe Raposo also scored Dr. Seuss TV specials in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the famous Emmy-winning "Halloween is Grinch Night," I couldn't resist making this!

That isn't a new Big Bad Wolf puppet; it's been around since at least the late 1980s: Not sure who voiced the wolf here, though; it was probably Tyler Bunch again. Matt Vogel would've probably used a more Jerry Nelson-esque voice for the wolf...

Looking at the library of segments Sesame Street had over the years, I remember how they would teach about "DON'T WALK" and "WALK," as seen in these... But times have changed, and this includes the pedestrian crossing signals. Many of them across the country were upgraded, so now they...

I hate to burst your bubble, but the voice was pre-recorded... :(

All that segment seemed to teach was about the old cartoon "hide behind a tree to avoid an enemy" routine. Plus, the giant rabbit didn't seem to be THAT much of a threat; it was just walking the whole time! Were the kids afraid the mutant rabbit would squash them? The music was pretty cool...

I am also wondering if maybe this segment was on the infamous "Wicked Witch of the West" episode from 1976? The segment probably did exist back then, and it could have been added to compliment the fear curriculum.

That segment sure was freaky. Good thing I didn't see it when I was watching the show in the early 1990s. I think it was still rerun quite a bit until the end of the "Around the Corner" era. I feature it in my YouTube Poop of "A Muppet Family Christmas," with the sound of a crowd gasping when it...

No I'm not :p

I'm not sure. The show has always been experimental. Heck, you compare an episode from 1987 with an episode from 1971 and you're gonna notice several differences! But as for a year when they really changed, I'm gonna have to go with 1993. By this point, they had to compete with Barney, hence...

Rare early Elmo's World segment about public transportation... Since when do jet planes have Model-T horns? (Also note David Rudman's voice for said plane; very similar to his Scooter voice!) ;)

Not bad! Ryan does seem like he'd be a good Elmo replacement. After all, they finally recast the Count, but he was a bit easier to recast than Elmo...

How about "Songs from Mother Goose," produced by Golden Book Video in 1987? It has a REALLY bad-looking Mother Goose puppet!

Exactly. I recently had this Sesame Street News segment make its YouTube debut: As long as it's just a segment and not a full episode that may be OK...

They did that at the start of the parade, at least. Previously we'd get "The cast of Sesame Street... and the Muppets!" That caused major confusion on my brother...

So does our dad. He wants us to have Thanksgiving breakfast at a certain planned time, as if he knows what's going to happen on the parade then! He's made me miss the Sesame Street float from 2008 to 2010!

Oh yeah, and again they played the 1992-2006 Sesame Street credits theme when announcing the Sesame Street float. I guess they aren't going to update it for a LONG time... When the Pikachu balloon was on, again they played the original Pokemon theme. Even with over 600 Pokemon now, that theme...

I noticed Count von Count was more in the shadows in the building mock-up. Maybe he hadn't put on his sunblock yet? :batty:

Sesame Street float is on right now! Elmo and Abby Cadabby are in the nest with Big Bird. Bob's on the float with them, looking as active as he has since the early 1990s, and Murray Monster got a solo too! Ack, make that TWO solos!

OK, they spent a minute on the Kermit the Frog balloon, right after the big pilgrim turkey float. Not bad!

So does my dad, even though he doesn't like the cheesy musical numbers either. And like I said, they didn't bother to say much about the balloons during the parade intro... At least we already ate breakfast so I can't miss the Sesame Street float like my parents would usually make us in the past...
