Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
What was great about the early Sesame Street the years I watched it (roughly the first six years or so) is a parent could watch it with a kid and both could be entertained. There were jokes and references for the adults which kids wouldn't necessarily get.
When I got the Noggin channel and...
This is something that's always puzzled me. The second season was the only time Sesame Street had three extra weeks' worth of shows. For Season 1, there was exactly enough time to cycle through all 130 shows twice (they actually aired more than twice if you figure in two showings per weekday and...
Thank you, I'll try that. Wow. I know I have all the Unpaved shows, but while I recorded a lot of 123s, I didn't succeed in getting all of them. I transferred all the Unpaveds to DVD-R years ago but didn't bother with the 123s so I guess it's back to the tapes if I can dig them out.
I do...
First, I want to say thank you to whoever maintains the wealth of information at the Muppet Wikia site.
I appreciate all the info about the various scenes, Muppet segments and animated clips, where they first appeared or when their earliest "known" appearance was, etc.

One thing I didn't even realize until a few days ago -- and I only just saw the clip after reading about it for years -- although people often bemoan how they didn't "deal with" Mr. Calloway's real-life death like they did for Mr. Hooper -- at the time the episode aired where it was explained...
Anyone here remember this? I remembered seeing him pushing the cart and recognizing him as the guy who plays Mr. Hooper. I have looked for this on You Tube before, never found it until now. (Of course, I haven't looked consistently every day.)
You never know what you'll find out there...
Thanks for that link. Looking at it, I just noticed it says show #1736 was taped 11/29/1982. I wonder when the very last scenes of Will Lee as Mr. Hooper were taped. It puzzled me at the time why it took them nearly a year to address his death on the show. Of course, I wasn't thinking about the...
Hi there -- I have read through this thread and found it interesting, even though this was probably past my time watching the show (I'm 51). I have no new into info to add regarding the episode in question, but just a comment regarding the references to episodes only being aired twice and then...
Can someone sort a few things out for me regarding Roosevelt Franklin:
Matt Robinson continued to perform Roosevelt for a time after he stopped playing Gordon, right?
Roscoe Orman voiced Hardhead Henry Harris, is that correct? And Orman definitely worked with Robinson, at least on these...
