    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 42

    Mixed opinions. I did enjoy the street story and the Justin Beiber parody. But the rest of the show seemed a little... cramped. They only had a small handful of segments, almost no cartoons either. This was obviously due to the street story, Abby's Flying Fairy School and Elmo's World eating up...

    Has "Mysterious Theater" been unofficially banned by SW?

    I have recently noticed, with the new release of the "Sesame Street Spoofs" DVD set, that "Mysterious Theater" had been excluded. Likewise on the "40 Years of Sunny Days" DVD set (I thought they'd include one for one of the 1989-1993 seasons!) Additionally, only one of them is available on...

    My new Scooby-Doo mask!

    Just got this custom full-head latex Scooby-Doo mask in early this week... I really like it! (Yeah, many of you already know I'm a Scooby-Doo fan.) For those wondering where I got it, it was a custom job by a Halloween mask/prop maker. Not bad for a mask that I only purchased for $50 (I love...

    "Toy Story 4" in early planning stages

    NO. I don't want Toy Story to become another DreamWorks-esque cash-cow franchise, especially after last year's masterpiece that was called "Toy Story 3" (in fact, my brother and I went to see it together with some friends to celebrate it being the first Toy Story movie for 10 years!)

    Sesame Street Spoofs coming to DVD July 5

    Not a bad list, I must say. I'm happy "Monsterpiece Theater" made the cut, as well as the classic Sesame Street News "Six Dollar Man" segment. But I am disappointed "Miami Mice" wasn't included; not even "Mysterious Theater!" I guess with the latter, SesameWorkshop figured that it was too scary...

    Why did the Newsflash logo have to change?

    Sort of the same reason "Monsterpiece Theater" or "Super Grover" updated their logos. Plus, you remember the old Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies logos? When they had the classic "bullseye" intros, the colors could vary by release season. Maybe they sometimes varied the logo colors for the season...

    My Sesame Street YouTube Poops:

    OK, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post these in, but some of you may know (such as DrTooth) that I am a YouTube Poop-maker, and I have often used "Sesame Street" clips (both classic and contemporary) as a poop source. Here are the ones I made so far...

    New animated Grover PSA's

    I have to admit, Grover and his mom seem to present these PSAs better than the G.I. Joe team did! (Muppet connection: all G.I. Joe PSAs were by Marvel Productions, which also produced "Muppet Babies!")

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Silly Storytime DVD with Special Guest Reporter Kermit

    If I recall, the "Foot Snugglies" segment is from 1980 or 1981. I know that in most cases the 1974-1984 News Flash sketches used the enlarged version of the logo, and each had a differently-recorded Jerry Nelson announcement (as if every segment had a newly-recorded announcer at the beginning of...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Silly Storytime DVD with Special Guest Reporter Kermit

    Interesting selection. I am also kinda surprised they went with the late 1980s version of the "Rapunzel" News Flash, but then again, this is obviously aimed toward the little ones, unlike the "Sesame Street Old School: Volume 1" DVD release which features the original uncut version. Reusing...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    Looks like no Kermit the Frog appearance this year (outside of the float and balloon), at least on the NBC version. I'm kinda bummed out on that.

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    I only caught the last bit of the Sesame Street float, because my parents insist we have breakfast during that time :attitude: Looks like I didn't miss THAT much this year; Susan seemed absent from the float again. But it's good to see Bob still with the gang on the float. Anyone else...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    Macy's Parade 2010 talkback Well, the parade has officially started with the countdown/cutting of the ribbon, followed by that stock marching band version of "New York, New York" as we are listed all celebrity appearances. It did say at one point "The Beloved Cast of Sesame Street, and the...

    What are you going to be for Halloween?

    For my college's Halloween party, I was Big Bad Wolf Daddy! http://pics.livejournal.com/wile_e2005/pic/0008r5gy This was based off an episode of Disney's "House of Mouse," for those unfamiliar. For a Halloween party I attended tonight, I was Fozzie Bear! I may post a few pics soon.

    RIP Michael J. Smollin

    That is sad he passed away. He's now up with his partner Jon Stone in SesameWorkshop Heaven now. I also remember his illustrations from two semi-sequels to the "Monster at the End of this Book" classic; "Would You Like to Play Hide and Seek in This Book with Lovable, Furry Old Grover?" and...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Wow. My local PBS station was having a test of the Emergency Alert System right before the episode began. At least it wasn't one put out by the cable company (you know, the one with the black background, white scrolling letters and the badly-distorted announcement that interrupts all the...

    Mickey talking to guests at Disneyland

    According to what I heard, Disney's been experimenting with talking characters since the 1960s, but initially had practically no success, or it was very limited, like with certain occasions, such as the Walt Disney World 25th Anniversary in 1996, or the "Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Not exactly classic, but here is the scene with Sherlock Hemlock and Jerry Nelson from Episode 4206: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vccx1QcO4LM I noticed Jerry Nelson's voice in this sounds kinda similar to Floyd Pepper! But then again, it usually does...

    "A tribute to Sherlock"

    As a kid, I mostly remember Sherlock Hemlock from "Mysterious Theater," particularly two sketches I distinctly remember watching, the "Circle Search" and "Missing Toast" ones (the latter was obviously due to the twist ending where Vincent Twice was the culprit, and was my favorite one as a...
