    Trading Sesame Street Episodes

    Hi Rob - You may already know about this, but the Sesame Street Block Party blog includes downloads of many older Sesame Street albums. You can find it here: http://sesamestreetblockparty.blogspot.com/ Some of those albums include the soundtracks to skits from the show. If you don't...

    Trading Sesame Street Episodes

    I don't have it, but amazingly I do remember some of it. Notably, there's a skit with Kermit and Grover (as "Grover Kanover", an Evel Kinevel parody). It's another real treasure, and I wish you luck. Please let us know if you find it. I wish I could have seen those clips on YouTube before they...

    Trading Sesame Street Episodes

    That's a real treasure. This episode involves Bob's long lost brother Minneapolis coming to visit. Minneapolis is a parody of Indiana Jones, and he, Big Bird, Snuffy and Bob go on an Indiana Jones-like adventure together. I'd love to trade with you for this when you're ready. I'll send you a...

    Breaking news! New Electric Company Series from PBS

    I agree- I'll always enjoy the "original" best, but from what I've seen so far on the Web, it looks like this show will be pretty fun. I'm looking forward to catching a few episodes soon.

    What are your favorite TV shows of all-time?

    Indeed, it's not an easy question to answer. It's great that many of us have long lists of shows. It shows how unique we are. But here are some of mine: Sesame Street (preferably pre-Elmo's World) Mister Rogers Electric Company Happy Days Muppet Show M*A*S*H Popeye/Bugs Bunny cartoons...

    Southern California may see sub-freezing temperatures

    Just a quick weather update: Yesterday (Wednesday) was definitely bad. The rain returned, and it was very cold and very windy. Due to the wind, it felt like the rain was hitting me on the side instead of coming from above! I had to hold my umbrella to the left instead of holding it straight up...

    Southern California may see sub-freezing temperatures

    That's a nice song, but it's not quite true. :) It RARELY rains in Southern California. That's actually a big problem for us. Many of us are trying to conserve as much water as we can. Some fire hydrants around here are painted purple, signifying that they are filled with re-treated waste water...

    Southern California may see sub-freezing temperatures

    I'm not far from the San Diego/Los Angeles area. It was definitely rainy yesterday, but it is slowly going away - it was cold today, but not too bad. Although for Southern Californians, 30 to 40 degrees is considered "freezing." :) Thankfully, the worst seems to be over, and we should slowly get...

    Sesame Street Little People

    Let me add more praise about your site! You've done a great job of creating your own "little people." Not that I know of, but it's a good idea! In the meantime, you can do a search in Google images for "Sesame Street little people" and you'll find a few shots of them. Here's one...

    Freddy and Rubber Ducky

    Cool, thanks for the tip! It's a bit before my time too, but there's always the chance that it could appear at a garage or estate sale or something like that.

    Thurl Ravenscroft

    Thanks, Xerus, for the very cool list! I knew about many of those roles, but I was surprised to realize that he could be heard in "South Pacific" and "Snoopy Come Home!" But I recognized his voice immediately when I remembered those scenes. David O'neal over at the Disneyland "Extinct...

    Comics?

    I'm a big comics fan as well. My favorites include Peanuts, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Pearls Before Swine. I don't read them all every day, but I like to read them from time to time. I also like comic books, but I think I enjoy the characters more than I do collecting the comics. For...

    Freddy and Rubber Ducky

    Many years ago, a friend of mine showed me a rubber duckie that looked exactly like the one you see on classic Sesame Street! I have no idea how he got it. It was white with orange spots, not yellow as the later duckies were. It did not squeak. There was a small hole at the bottom of it, but I...

    What year did you begin to loose interest in the show.

    Obviously, by the time I became a teenager, a lot of other things were going on, and my interest began to fade. I never completely lost interest- I just stopped watching the show. By the time Maria and Luis married, I was pretty much out of the loop and just checking in once in a while. I did...

    My day with Caroll Spinney in Framingham MA today!

    Awesome! Thanks for the cool story and the cool photos. I'd sure love to meet him someday as well.

    Which SST DVD's are worth buying?

    "Sing Along" is a good choice - it also features David! You may already have it, but "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street" has been released to DVD. A true classic! Also features Mr. Hooper and David. One I enjoy is "Sleepytime stories and songs" (AKA Bedtime Stories & Songs). It includes the...

    Sesame Conference

    Hi- I’m guessing that this is the gathering you mentioned. It took place in San Francisco and featured Grover. There’s a picture of Abby in the article as well. I hadn’t heard anything about it either. (Someone at Sesame Workshop needs to create an appearances calendar.) Check it out...

    SST 40th Anniversary Event

    Right - Video cameras are so small these days that you could put one in your jacket pocket! It's likely someone might try, but as you said, it's hard to tell how tight security will be. I've had circumstances when I brought along my video camera to certain events with high security. As I...
