    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    (watches the sketch) Yow, that animation is pretty freaky! And that mutant rabbit wasn't even running after them, he was just WALKING! The fast rock/drum music is actually pretty cool, though! Except when it went silent when the mutant rabbit went by the trees.

    Why did the Newsflash logo have to change?

    What News Flash segment was it? It could have been an edit on SesameWorkshop's part. Also, with the thread bump, I did a montage of the News Flash logo through the years:

    The "Around the Corner" episodes

    You're right! I DO seem to recall it not having the closing credits for some weird reason, and I was like "Wait a minute, this is a Friday episode! Where's the credit crawl!" I actually seem to recall the Irvie's Blankie rerun was a Friday episode (I think I remember seeing the credits at the...

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 2 now available for download on iTunes

    *does a spit take* Whoa, Episode 3174 has the Red Hot Riding Hood News Flash segment with the map and taxi? That's NEVER been available on the Internet before!!! And it's probably only a matter of time now until that segment shows up on YouTube. And speaking of Kermit's special reports, I...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy to present award at Oscars

    Huh, I've been looking online everywhere, and they're really secretive about who presents what Oscar. I know Kermit and Piggy should be doing one of the song ones, but I wonder who's doing the animation ones? I hope it won't be another snooze-fest like last year!

    Kermit and Miss Piggy to present award at Oscars

    I wonder what award Kermit and Miss Piggy will present? The Academy's being pretty secretive about it! I do kinda hope they do the animated awards. Lately, presenting the awards for Best Animated Film and Short have become incredibly boring. Here's a video from 1993 or 1994 with Bugs and Daffy...

    The "Around the Corner" episodes

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, as these are for mid-to-late 1990s episodes, but I actually remember some Sesame Street episodes from when my brother was younger and still watching the show at that time. Most of them are from Season 28 (1996-1997), or maybe one is from Season...

    Wuv-Luvs!

    Does anyone on this thread remember a genuinely bizarre toy called the "Wuv Luv?" Here is a commercial for them, from 1999-2000: Yes, long story short, it was a toy that ACTUALLY GAVE BIRTH (in an even more graphic manner than the Fuzz Luvs.) A little creepy, and a little gross at the same...

    Caroll Spinney's Big Bird or Matt Vogel's?

    On a few occasions, Matt Vogel would perform in the suit, while Caroll Spinney would dub in the voice. But I still prefer Caroll Spinney as Big Bird through and through. He can even rollerskate and ride a unicycle while playing Big Bird. Now THAT'S impressive!

    Was "Dental Hyjinks" the Muppet Babies series pilot?

    I had recently watched the Muppet Babies episode "Dental Hyjinks" again and I kinda have to agree with some of the YouTube users' comments. This was most likely the series pilot, and once the show was greenlit, "Noisy Neighbors" was produced as the first episode to air. This would make sense...

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Yep, I also noticed Bugs Bunny got a new costume. It looks different from when I saw Bugs at Six Flags New England last year: I also loved seeing Scooby-Doo on the float. He looks the same as when I also saw him at Six Flags, even though Scrappy-Doo was there too:

    Your Thoughts: "The Muppets" Theatrical Film

    I just saw it with my brother and a couple of friends. It was AWESOME! I loved all the references to the classic Muppet movies. It was basically a good old-fashioned musical Muppet film. I especially loved Walter's nonstop screaming bit, the 80s robot's loud modem, Gonzo's self-destructing...

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Well, Abby Cadabby was right next to Murray Monster in that window. I think Murray and Abby are both approaching the same levels of popularity now.

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Yep, it seems like the balloons are becoming less and less of a major parade highlight, in lieu of the constant musical numbers. Am I still the only one who noticed they still play the old 1992-2006 closing credits theme when announcing the Sesame Street float? I wonder why they didn't update...

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Anyone else catch this yet? It was pretty brief and unannounced, but it was still a fun romp. Same float as always, and I could see Alan, Luis, Maria, Bob, etc. on the float. Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster were in the nest, and Murray Monster even had a brief solo! (Sounds like Murray's...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Yeah, Tyler may make a good Placido Flamingo (but usually it seems it's David Rudman that takes over the Richard Hunt characters.) It was kinda weird seeing the 1980s purple wolf puppet used with the same voice and personality of the giant gray wolf from 2007 (especially the singing "Huuuuff...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    Yep, I just simply LOOOOOOVE Halloween! This year I'll probably go to a party as Big Bad Wolf Daddy again, then on the big night I'll just pass out candy wearing my Scooby-Doo mask:

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    I agree, that's a lot more like it. But if they must rerun the segments, rather than show the same seven or eight segments over and over, they could rerun all the ones from the past two seasons, maybe alternate. Then we'd have SOME more variety, if a segment is shown more than once, it will...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    The classic Sesame Street News "Piper's Pickled Peppers" segment but with no Sprout logo on the bottom, and with the original early 1980s NEWS FLASH logo intact (plastered on the Sprout version):
