Hello. My name is John. I haven't posted on here in several years...I guess I'm not as a hardcore of a Muppet fan as most of the people on here are. Anyway, I came back here for a reason. I'm a writer for a website called RetroJunk, and I need some assistance for one of my fellow writers. She...

With the talk of appearances by live-action Muppets and the mention of Stan Lee, I'll toss in something else I remember. In the episode "A Punchline To The Tummy", there are live-action cameos by Whoopi Goldberg and the late John Ritter (as themselves being talked to by Baby Gonzo as a talent...

I recall the episode "Elm Street Babies" used footage from the sequel to "Teen Wolf". I think one episode had some clips from "Pee-Wee's Playhouse". Finally, for now, one episode had concert footage of Steve Martin talking about the arrow in his head. Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET"...

When I say that, I mean featured in clips. They used so many...I just want to try and make a list, and I was wondering if you, my fellow "Muppet Babies" fans could help me. This much I do know... They used clips from: The original "Star Wars" trilogy "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" "E.T"...

Look, ernie, I'm only being honest. One of my favorite shows is "Miami Vice", and they used extensive music cues throughout their 5-year run. When it comes to DVD, I expect that a good amount of the music will be edited out. It all comes down to money, and I know that's hard to hear, but...

Haven't been to these boards in a while so the "Muppet Babies" section is new to me, but I don't think we'll be seeing "Muppet Babies" in season sets on DVD anytime soon. Basically, it comes down to rights issues...They used so many movie and TV clips (as well as the occasional bits of music...

Speaking for myself, nobody has ever been bothered by my watching of the program. I'm 21 and I enjoy it more than when I was a kid, since I can pick up on pop-culture references, celebrity cameos and musical cues I wouldn't have otherwise. Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff...

Ralph Nader is protesting Mickey D's ads on the Street? I guess this means we'll never hear his reindition of "People In Your Neighborhood" again. ;) Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff... Points if you caught my reference.

Interesting, but I think fairy tales and nursery rhymes are more the Street's speed. Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff... Meant with no malice...You're a talented kid.

Actually, there was an animated segment I believe was called "Beginning, Middle And An End" that was done in the style of Talking Heads' "And She Was". The singer even sounded like David Byrne (one never knows, with all the celebs the show has attracted, Byrne might've provided vocals...Slim...

The "Sesame Street" actors take outside acting jobs to supplement the income... An example is Roscoe Orman (Gordon). He's made appearances in movies like "F/X" and "Striking Distance" and on TV shows like "Sex And The City" during his many years on the Street. Another example is Sonia...

Greetings, frequent posters...I'm the resident poster-in-hiding manoftheSTREET, and I need to ask a favor for a friend...Specifically, I need to get him screenshots or publicity photos from "Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird". You see, I'm a writer for the website...

Mel Gibson as Hamlet, Martin Riggs and himself... Robert DeNiro demonstrating method acting... Jim Carrey putting his own spin on a Steve Martin routine... Mike Myers as Wayne Campbell, extolling the virtues of reading and hoisting a tuba over his head like Jimi Hendrix...

The Mel Gibson segments... "Hamlet" (performed with Elmo) "Lethal Weapon 3" (Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in character as Riggs and Murtaugh observing a danger sign. Why? Because of a gigantic stone number 3 about to descend on them) Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff

It could NEVER be done... In best-ofs, maybe it could be accomplished. Over 4000 episodes on DVD? No way... Legalities, music rights clearances (they've used music by everyone from Rodgers & Hammerstein to Deep Purple on the show), negotiations with the living who appeared on the show, as...

My mistake... Could somebody merge this into the "Who Would You Like To See Appear On Sesame Street" thread?

(C'mon, Sesame Workshop, where's the press release about the new season?) Oh, as for me... I'd like to see Dan Aykroyd make an appearance. If his fellow "Not Ready For Prime Time Players" Chevy Chase, Laraine Newman and Jane Curtin could be involved with "Street"-related projects, why not...

Oh, I knew it was something along those lines, Boober. I just couldn't recall the name off-hand, so I used the phrase "NASA Spoof", as sort of a holding line. WASA is a spoof of NASA...that's just what I meant...and yes, I get it!:) Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff

Yeah, she did provide the voice of Luna (I'm sorry, I've never seen "Bear In The Big Blue House"). Okay, two Muppet connections... SIGH. First Mr. Rogers, now Lynne Thigpen...SIGH again. Sincerely, John "manoftheSTREET" Kilduff...

Lynne Thigpen, who played the chief on the 1990s PBS series "Where In The World In Carmen Sandiego?", died today of a heart attack at the age of 54. A veteran Broadway actress, she also appeared in quite a few movies, from "The Warriors" (she was the DJ who kept the group going on the streets...
