Amen! :) But so far, so good for Sesame Workshop. This is a real treat for old-school fans and modern fans alike. They are definitely on the right track. I've been having some issues playing the videos, but I'm guessing that my slow Internet connection is to blame. I hope to try out the site...

Yes, I barely remember that episode as well! It all took place in E&B's apartment. I don't recall it being quite as crowded as it seemed to be on the album, but it did seem to more or less follow the album. I'd estimate it from 1974 or 75 as well. I'd love to see it again!

This album is definitely a real treat for "old school" fans. It features some great funny lines from the cast and some fun songs as well. It's hard to pick a favorite moment, but one of them comes when the girls enter the room where Bert is taking a bath! Then there's "the Limerick song" and...

The list is endless! He's tried wearing earmuffs made out of tin cans, Putting "stop" signs all around his can, and even briefly moving away. There was a "little golden book" put out years ago called "Oscar's book" that featured him trying to think of ways to be left alone. At one point he...

Very cool! I'm glad you both got to meet him. He does seem like a great guy in "real life" as well as on the street. Interesting that he says he likes the "early days" better! :) That may partly be because he had a bigger role in the show back then. But I'm also glad he's still there! It...

I don't know its value, but I do know that there was a series of Sesame Street radios made. At one time my family owned one with a plastic Big Bird, Ernie and Bert all wearing straw hats. Ernie was playing a guitar, Bert a saxaphone. Another radio had just a plastic Ernie and Bert, with the...

I have a little update here. A fellow named Benjamin Wagner is working on a documentary about Fred Rogers. He recently visited the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh, and in a blog posting he confirms that the Mister Rogers puppets are on display there. He writes: The Museum has been home to...

He was definitely a talented actor. And funny! He had a comedic role in "Scavenger Hunt" which suited him well. He indeed will be missed.

I've noticed sometimes that when I import text from one program into another, some of the text will change into question marks. That's basically because the program doesn't know what the text character is. It inserts a question mark to indicate that it was unable to duplicate the character...

Nice list! A few comments: I actually got to see one of the clown dolls used for the "Poltergeist" movie. It was on display in a small toy shop near San Diego. It was sitting atop a shelf of other toys with a small note next to it, along with a few photos from behind-the-scenes of the movie...

I don't have it, but I do remember the clip. I understand why it could scare you! There was this eerie drum music in the background throughout the cartoon, which got louder with the "or will I?" line. I'd like to see it again as well!

How could I forget "Hannah and her sisters!" That's a pretty good one. I agree that "Purple Rose" is a tragic story in many ways. That's sort of the "price it pays" for telling the story. But I also like to think that there is a bit of hope in it. (I'm trying hard not to give anything away...

The song was originally called "My name" or "My name is David", and it appeared on the Sesame Street album "Concert- on stage live!" back in the 1970s. Heralde is right, it was redone in the 1990s with Maya Angelou, Elmo and the two kids. Maya appeared on a few Sesame St. skits, and was the...

Nice lists - hats off to Winslow for mentioning "Purple Rose of Cairo"! That's my favorite of Woody Allen's films. Very memorable and well-done. In "no particular order," here are some of my 80's faves: The Empire Strikes Back Raiders of the Lost Ark E.T. Return of the Jedi Purple...

If you haven't already, pick up Sesame Street Old School volume 2 on DVD. It has a great collection of 1970s episodes & clips. That's the easiest way to get some 1970s episodes. Otherwise, you may want to post in the "Buy, sell or trade" section to see if someone can do a video trade with you.

Yes, I remember Julie from her "Just say Julie" days. That was toward the end of the 1980s & I collect MTV footage from that era. I don't have much (& I don't have any "Just say Julie" eps, sadly) but it's fun to watch footage of the old VJs. If anybody has some that they'd like to trade, please...

Hi Jyllian- Besides the "Old School" DVD set, there really isn't another way to purchase first-season clips. But keep in mind that some early clips were rerun for a long time - into the 1990s in a few cases! Although I don't have them, I remember a few of the skits you listed. If you happen...

No, I believe it came out later (late 1980s to mid 1990s, I'm guessing). I don't recall seeing it in one of the Sesame St. Unpaved episodes. I defer to any video traders or Youtube experts out there. Anyone have this clip?

Sounds familiar. Did the grandfather do some ice fishing (cutting a hole in the ice to catch fish)? I recall a film clip like that. Near the end, they counted up all the fish that they caught.

That's a good question. I've never seen the logo used anywhere other than the end of the old episodes. I wonder if they still have any of them in the vaults somewhere! You can see a pic of Ernie & Bert holding up the logo here: http://classicsesamestreetfans.blogspot.com/
