    kermits NEWS FLASH

    The "Tortoise and the Hare" skit did not feature a logo. And neither did a few 1974-1975 News Flashes. The Weather Report skit also didn't have a logo either. The one with Kermit and the little girl is a Muppet-Kid moment instead of a News Flash, so the opening doesn't show up. However, the...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    Well, a few skits around the mid-70s didn't have a logo originally. The "Tortoise and the Hare" Sesame Street Sports skit didn't have a logo either. However, the Rapunzel skit and the other News Flashes from 1971 had logos from the start (most of them have the one with the cloud and lightning...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    I hope it will be full. It can be seen on Youtube. I wonder why they cut it. Is it because it has the Sesame Street News theme heard over the ending? If the video kept in the "NEWS FLASH" logos, then they could play the full skit. But the chances are probable that this skit on the DVD will have...

    Sesame Street Thanksgiving

    It is kinda funny, but when it comes to Sesame and Thanksgiving, I like this better... http://www.offthemark.com/Images/sundays/sunday10.gif

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    It could be a factual error. I mean, the set's including the Pinball Number Count, which didn't appear until 1977! And the Rapunzel skit OBVIOUSLY looks and sounds like it is one of the very first special reports Kermit did (that were in the News Flash series, not counting the "Tortoise and the...

    Sam the Machine's on Youtube... Youtube... Youtube... *thud* Thank you.

    Mod's Note: Link was removed by youtube.com This is the first time I saw Sam the Machine, and I thought he was very strange! The 70s was a strange decade when it came to introducing new Muppets. It is also actually hard to believe that Sam the Machine is a Muppet! His features were very cool...

    Muppet Babies Video Storybooks

    I found this clip on Youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVuNlZC97Pk I must admit, it looks pretty cool! It'd be even more neat if I could see the full animated sequences accompanying it. The animation is MUCH better than the Golden Book Videos with Sesame stories (these MB videos...

    Muppet Babies Music Video I made on Google Video

    Thanks. :D I've always liked the cartoon Muppet Babies voices rather than the live-action Muppet Babies voices (no offense).

    Mumford and Prarie Dawn

    One song with Fran Brill's Prairie Dawn voice is "The Question Song." It was also made into a skit on the show, featuring a Lavender Anything Muppet girl with long brown hair and playing a guitar (Grover is there, too, of course). When I was little and heard the song, I used to think it was...

    Muppet Babies Music Video I made on Google Video

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=210224911422893724 This is what I get when I cross boredom, a copy of the Muppet Babies sequence from "The Muppets Take Manhattan," an audio file of the Muppet Babies theme song, some pictures from Muppet Wiki, and Windows Movie Maker. Remember, I...

    The Best of The Count

    I know that on the skit with the blocks (which was, by the way, the Count's very first appearance on the show), the music was done on a pipe organ sort of thing to give it a more Transylvanian feel. In the other skits (such as the one with the Count counting flowers and when the Bats go on...

    Monsterpiece Theater Question

    A good way to tell if the skit is going to have Alistar Cookie's pipe is to see if it has the Union Jack opening at the beginning, seen on 1982-1991 sketches. That "39 Stairs" skit must be from the mid-to-late 80s. Anyways, did they cut the pipe from the video release of the 1988 "Sesame...

    kermits NEWS FLASH

    It's a bit more complicated than you think. Until the late 90s, they continued regularly showing the News Flash segments. If one was very lucky, he or she would be able to watch a really old Sesame Street News skit from the early to mid 1970s! But in 2001, Sesame Workshop bought the rights to...

    Heeeeere's HERRY!

    The Herry-style wolf was seen on Sesame Street News Flash skits until the mid-80s. Just go to Youtube and seach "sesame wolf" and you'll see. The Big Bad Wolf DID appear on an Ernie and Bert skit, the one with Ernie's disguise kit. But the book version had Frazzle in place of the Big Bad Wolf. I...

    The "Next Muppet on Family Guy" thread

    I'd love to see the show do a parody of Sesame Street News. After Peter introduces the flashback (he could say something like "this is even better than that Sesame Street News report!") it would cut to the NEWS FLASH title card we all know with its theme music (and maybe Jerry Nelson could do...

    Sesame Street News: Count Dracula

    Well, since it's October, I thought I'd put reporter Kermit the Frog in Transylvania. Here it is... The Sesame Street News Flash logo appears and its theme music is heard. Announcer (Jerry Nelson): We take you now to Kermit the Frog with another fast-breaking news story! The scene fades...

    Heeeeere's HERRY!

    I LOVED Herry Monster as a kid! His look was cute and his voice was funny! But it always puzzled me why in the books, Herry Monster wore pants (most illustrators depicted him clad in white-and-pink striped pants, but Tom Cooke's illustrations of Herry had him in purple pants with orange spots)...

    Captain Vegetable's only sketch?

    Yay, it's in English! But is it just me, or are most of the rabbits on "Sesame Street" made out of old Anything Muppets? I mean, Captain Vegetable is obviously made out of a Lavender-type Muppet, like Herbert Birdsfoot.

    Charachters who have been performed by 3 different people

    Yes. Jerry Nelson is his main performer, but in a few 80s News Flash skits, Kevin Clash did his voice. Joey Mazzarino also occasionally does his voice, too

    Sesame Skit - The Count Counts Butterflies

    Here's my try at writing a classic-style Sesame Street skit. If it actually existed, the butterflies would be played by real, live butterflies like this: http://www.laspilitas.com/butterflies/Butterflies_and_Moths/Western_tiger_swallowtail/western_tiger_swallowtail_on_a_lobilia_1.jpg THE...
