    Mr. Rogers Goodbye

    Fred Rogers was awesome. He definitely cared for others, which is part of why we care for him so much. I've been collecting older Mr. Rogers episodes on video. Watching him again makes you realize how much planning went into each episode. He really tried to make subjects easy for children to...

    Snuffy and Big Bird

    There is an episode of "Unpaved" (2040) that is very similar to the scene you describe, only it involves Bob and David rather than Bob and Linda. Is it possible that this is the one you recall? ================================================= http://heroshaven.blogspot.com

    Your Favorite Musicals

    Thanks, Princeton! Cool message board. Since I saw the movie last year, I've become a fan of "Phantom of the Opera." My most recent post at my blog (March 9) involves some recent surprising news about the play. (It's just below the posting about Capt. America's "death")...

    Captain America's Dead!!

    My recent blog posting (March 9) involves Captain America's recent "death," and points to some issues about how we (or rather, the writers) treat comic book characters. If you're a fan of "The Thing," you may enjoy it as well: http://heroshaven.blogspot.com

    "Hey cow, I see you now" film

    It was great fun to see this film again. I remembered it, so it likely was still shown as late as 1976. Yes, it is long, but so what? :) It's a reminder that the show wasn't always fast-paced. There were moments of relative calm, and this was one of them. In fact, it also reminds me of some...

    The many uses of the Sesame Street Garage

    I seem to recall that the inside of the garage was shown at one time - I believe there were some washing machines & dryers for everyone at 123. This was a while ago, so don't hold me to it. :) I do know that in the early to mid 1990s, the garage served as an art studio for Hiroshi, an artist...

    Episode 2159

    Do you have any Sesame St. episodes to trade with? If so, please post them here or in the "Trading Sesame Street episodes" thread. Even if you don't have Sesame St. episodes to trade, it's possible you may have something else on video that someone here would trade with you for. You may want...

    Ever try to get a show sold?

    Yes, keep trying! But here's another idea. . . Remember that much of Jim Henson's early work involved advertising. You may want to consider offering your animation talents in other areas like this. It's possible that other people will see your animation in an advertisement or something like...

    The Big Trip

    You have a great memory, Xerus! I don't remember all of the details that you did, but I do remember this show. It was obviously memorable in many ways, with the street cast appearing on a game show with Guy Smiley. I do remember Guy picking out Big Bird from the audience. He said something like...

    Other songs that I've heard recordings of but never seen...

    "Me got to be blue" was shown at one time. It featured Cookie singing the song in a nature setting and cameo appearances by several blue monsters, including Herry & Grover. "The Opposite Song" featured Chris singing to an anything-muppet girl with long brown hair & long arms. She danced...

    Other songs that I've heard recordings of but never seen...

    I never saw it on Sesame Street either, BUT Ernie and Bert actually did perform a short version of this song on "The Flip Wilson Show!" You may want to keep your eye on the TVLand schedule in case they show this one again.

    Alphabet Album sketches???

    Luckily, the tracks from this album are on the "Do the alphabet" CD, which I think is still available.

    Alphabet Album sketches???

    Hi - The only one on your list that I DO remember being shown is "P-My favorite letter," which was sung by some country anything-muppet folk standing outside a house.

    Other songs that I've heard recordings of but never seen...

    Hi - That's a good list of great old-school songs! Here are the ones that I remember were also shown "live" on the show: Do you like me? - Ernie wakes Bert up in the middle of the night to ask him the question. After the song, Ernie wakes Bert up again to say, "I like you too, Bert." Eight...

    Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

    Not the whole series - just a few select episodes have been chosen for DVD release so far. But I'd love to see some of his earlier (pre 1975) episodes on DVD! A few video tape collectors like me have got a handful of early episodes through trades. The picture quality can often be poor, but a...

    The Art Of The Muppets Exhibit

    I'm in the same boat. I'm hoping that some muppet fans in Arizona will post here & let us know all about the exhibit. If it sounds really good, I might make the trek, but otherwise we may just have to hope and pray that it comes to our area...

    The Art Of The Muppets Exhibit

    I visited the exhibit way back in the day. It was a great time. I had never heard of “Sam and Friends” or “Emmet Otter” until I saw that exhibit. It really gave me a good idea of the history of the muppets. I finally got to see them “in person!” I’m hoping that the upcoming "Jim Henson's...

    My turn to rant.

    At last, a fan! :) Thanks for the kind words, amymoe. If you haven't already, be sure to visit the Square One Fans forum if you want to talk to the real experts about the show.

    My turn to rant.

    I'm with you all on this one. I have a weird hobby of making silly little home movies - sometimes using my old puppets! I've taken a little flack for it, but I love it, so I will continue to do it once in a while. It's fun, and it's not meant to be harmful - I don't see any good reason why I...

    Bob Sings See You Tomorrow to Big Bird.

    Just wanted to confirm that 4121 was shown this morning. "See you tomorrow" was nice, but shorter than the album version. (And it's neat to see all the new things that Big Bird has in his nest area - new bookshelf, Snuffy portrait, etc. Sorry if this is old news, but I don't watch too many of...
