Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
I liked how they added Count von Count in MADtv form, but the skit didn't make me laugh. However, I DID take the liberty of taking screencaps of it for the Muppet Wiki entry...

Yeah, I hate the way it just says "Sesame Street Muppets" now. It should at least say "Jim Henson's Sesame Street Muppets," even if they don't credit Jim Henson in the Muppeteer cast list
Yep. In my Creative Dramatics class for my project on something related to Childrens' Dramatics, I did it on the history of Sesame Street! I did a PowerPoint slideshow, then I played a montage of Sesame Street intro sequences (we had already seen the 1969-1992 opening, so my montage included the...
As for the Turtles, I know in the second season, A-1 Productions did the animation, but in subsequent seasons I am not entirely sure who did the rest of the animation. I know Wang Film Productions did some TMNT animation in the early 1990s, and I think Akom may have been involved at one point.
Yeah, I noticed that too. In fact, I recognized a few other familiar voices in some Golden Book Videos...

Hamilton (the first pig) sounds a LOT like Greg Berg doing the voice.

I'm sure some of you remember those goofy Sesame Street-related "storybook video" tapes that Golden Book Video released in 1985: "Three Sesame Street Stories" and "Five Sesame Street Stories" (both later combined into an hour-long video entitled "Eight Super Sesame Street Stories"). Well, last...
Apologize for bumping this thread, but...

The game show host in this "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (the DiC version) episode's voice sounds like a dead-ringer for Gary Owens. Was that actually him doing the voice?
The reason for that was because the audio was taken from a record album that had a track with Cookie Monster and "another monster" that Jim Henson voiced. I guess they decided to use the Herry puppet for that one, though Jerry Nelson has been Herry's performer since Day One.
Herry Monster has always been one of my favorites ever since I was little. He IS cute, and Jerry Nelson did a great job voicing him.
I remember how in the books and on merchandise, Herry Monster almost always wore pants. Usually they would be white with pink stripes (though Tom Cooke often...
I've always loved Hoots the Owl ever since I was a kid. He was definitely cool. I also liked his realistic owl-like eyes and the moving eyelid mechanism. Wasn't he one of the first SS Muppets that could actually blink and all that stuff?
Wasn't too big on the variation in the "Cookie is a...
It makes sense; they're both made out of the same puppet pattern, and they're both voiced by Jerry Nelson. And some people commenting on that skit actually thought that was Fat Blue in that skit when they were younger!
Yes, Simon Soundman was awesome. He kinda reminded me of Gerald...
Here's one...
Usually I wasn't bothered by Natalie the Cow. But her moo in "Boogie Woogie Piggies" at one part freaked the **** out of me as a kid! (Pardon my language). It's when they first show Chip (or is it Dip?) doing the tango with a sheep. It didn't sound like one of her normal sounds...
I seem to remember a Grover skit from when I was little. Grover was, I think, on the brick wall, and I believe it was on a black background and he was talking about the letter "R." There was a white "R" next to him. Grover mentioned at one part that "R" is the first letter in the word "rocket,"...
"The skits presented in this DVD set are uncut and may contain questionable imitative behavior. Please review these segments before showing them to your child."
(Hey, I know this because they left Prince Charming's "OH SHUT UP!" at the end of the Rapunzel News Flash segment intact.)
I assume the Fix It Shop was moved to another building on Sesame Street, much like the Furry Arms Hotel was after the Around the Corner set was dropped.
Whoa.
Well I think it's good to have someone who grew up with Sesame Street in the early-mid 1970s on this forum! Sometimes it seems many of us here grew up with the 1980s/1990s Sesame Street (like I did, I grew up with the early 1990s version).
