    Does anyone, by chance, have the means to upload the infamous "red hot I-beam" segment?

    Poor Solomon Grundy

    Frames and dialogue from this cartoon were also reproduced in The Sesame Street Book of People and Things from 1970. Here's one of them: (Sorry for the polka-dot effects; my scanner sometimes does that at low resolutions.)

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Thanks for the clips! It's nice being able to see the classic Barkley credits sequence I remember for the first time in 13 years. Another clip I recognize from watching Sesame Street back in the day is the live-action segment on how cheese is made. I remember the vats and presses, as well as...

    Characters you've felt sorry for

    Bert...particularly when he wants to fall asleep and Ernie keeps him awake by progressively counting sheep, fire engines, and bursting balloons. Slimey the Worm...simply because he had to live with Oscar the Grouch! Fat Blue...he never got the food he wanted, no matter how hard he tried...

    PBS shows

    Usually, PBS shows are dropped (or go on hiatus for a few years, as the case might be) when they face insufficient funding.

    Look what happened to TA's old forum!

    This must be why the vast majority of forums I visit disable guest posting.

    Sesame Street Dream

    I find reading about others' Sesame Street-related dreams to be both fascinating and occasionally hilarious. Just a couple days ago, I had a dream in which Jim Henson (very much alive and well :cry: ) came to the door of our house for a small social gathering holding the Guy Smiley puppet...

    Sesame Street Magazine memories

    What I do find strange is that 3-2-1 Contact magazine apparently debuted in advance of the television show. Here's a picture of the first issue from November 1979, from a completed eBay auction...

    Who's on Facebook?

    Yes, but an e-mail address corresponding with an educational institution is required, at least for the college version.

    Closing theme, anyone?

    It was a RealAudio clip and sounded pretty muddy, too. I did have the foresight to save it to disk a year ago, though.

    [Muppet Christmas Carol] Typeface Font?

    I don't know off-hand (and as far as I know the logo uses custom lettering), but one of these tools might come in handy when identifying this or other "unknown" fonts: http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ http://www.identifont.com/identify.html

    Which SST Character Are You?

    "You scored as Bert. Your (sic) bert!! You live with Ernie and Ernie is constantly bugging you." Somehow this does not surprise me; I see eye to eye with Bert on a lot of things. I had a few annoying roommates in college who made Ernie look like a saint in comparison. :( Not only...

    When did you first hear about the internet?

    In the early '90s, I watched the TV show Newton's Apple regularly on PBS. Ordinarily, there was a brief interlude in the middle of the show where an address to write to was shown on screen. In 1993 or 1994, however, they began to announce that in addition to conventional mail, "Now, you can...
