    The Twiddlebugs' Smoke Detector

    Pretty irritating smoke detector sound. I thought real ones were much more higher-pitched? And usually they go BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEP! or, if it's post-1996, they sound in Code-3, like many modern fire alarms do. I remember Hooper's store had a pretty realistic-sounding smoke detector (in...

    Sneak Peak: Sesame Street's Pinball Number Count remake

    It may not be the original animation, but at least they finally brought back the classic song! :D Usually I don't mind when they remake classic skits, such as Ernie's "Rubber Duckie" from 1998, or the new version of the "La-la-la" song that takes place in Ernie and Bert's apartment instead of...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The Aspergers' episode was really good! Especially since I have it myself, I could relate to it. I, too, am surprised "Arthur" is still going on. It started when I was in third grade, and now I am graduating college and they are STILL making new episodes! Of course, I also love making...

    Any Closing Logos Fans?

    I remember that! It would always appear at least once when CN would have that "Looney Tunes Show" block on weekend mornings in 2001-2003. And usually this Looney Tunes logo would show up on a crappy non-Chuck Jones Road Runner cartoon, or the Speedy Gonzales vs. Daffy Duck shorts. Then there was...

    The "Upstairs, Downstairs" debate!

    "Upstairs, Downstairs" does look a bit older than "Me, Claudius", with a different chair that Cookie Monster is sitting on instead of the yellow one, and its much longer-than-usual length. But the main difference is that "Me Claudius" is quite different from the usual Monsterpiece Theater fare...

    The "Upstairs, Downstairs" debate!

    Ah, so "Me Claudius" is from 1979? That wouldn't surprise me. I think "Upstairs, Downstairs" is actually from 1980-1981, but I remember a Muppet Wiki member commenting he had a 1982 episode that had "Upstairs, Downstairs" on it, so we know it is definitely at least from the early '80s. But I...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Was it THIS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tHaSNPGGyk That version is indeed the one with the original 1970s News Flash logo intact. But when I meant YouTube I meant this Humpty Dumpty one, where if you look closely when it fades to Kermit and company, you can make out part of the old...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    The Foot Snugglies segment on YouTube has the mid 1970s/early 1980s News Flash logo, like when it first aired in 1980-1981. This version is somewhat identical to the 1986 logo but is a bit larger, and has two black stars and two yellow stars, instead of four yellow stars. CTW used this version...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLYk77T9oAM Someone uploaded the News Flash sketch about Sleeping Beauty's kiss. Even though this was recorded by being shot in front of a TV, this is the DVD version;unlike the official version on YouTube, it uses the 1986 News Flash title card instead of the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Ugh. First it was Noggin. Then it was the "Really Rosie" videos he uploaded. Oh well, he should eventually be back ;)

    A Sesame Street Thriller

    Thread bump: Since my old YT account got suspended (NOT because of this video), here it is again but with some newer clips added (such as the infamous "I-beam" and the Yip-Yip Martians) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kZaXh2l1XA

    Sesame Street Dream

    Had another strange SS-related dream last night. I was browsing on YouTube, and found a strange version of the "I-Beam" clip, which involved it being mostly the same, but at one point as the music was continuing, it cut to Oscar the Grouchsaying "Now this is MY kind of thing!" or something like...

    Your Thoughts: Kermit at the Macy's Parade

    Kermit's duet with Tiffany near the end was pretty good! Could it be that Kermit is becoming a regular Macy's parade guest star? I HOPE SO!

    The Sesame Street gang annual Macy's Thanksgiving Parade apperance...

    I saw it. Not bad, though we had another pixillation glitch on my part like in 2007, but luckily it was brief and during when no one was singing. It was great to see Bob leading the kids singing again, but it's too bad Barkley and Herry didn't make it this year :( They also used the new Zoe...

    What's the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" NBC theme song called?

    I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade again and I wanted to know what the marching music they always play after the "Let's have a parade!" is called. It's not "Seventy Six Trombones," that's for sure. It's always like... Da, da, daa-dada, da, da, daa-dada... etc. It starts in...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 40

    Regarding that Baby Bird episode, I thought the Placido Flamingo book by Richard Hunt was a clever touch! As was Caroll Spinney's cameo appearance in the episode about Stinky's birthday. As for the new "Murray Has a Little Lamb," sure we still have the annoying extended opening theme, but I'm...

    Grover works for Amtrak! (a Waiter Grover fan-fic)

    This is inspired by the "Real Wheels" video "There Goes a Train," which had a scene that reminded me of the old "Waiter Grover" skits. So here you go... (We start on live-action stock footage of a modern Amtrak Superliner train speeding through the countryside. Then we fade into the dining...
