Ideally, I like onion rings. The problem is the only major fast-food chain I know of that normally serves them is Burger King, and Burger King onion rings leave something to be desired.

I don't care. They're both great. The only French fries I personally abhor from a major fast food chain are Hardee's.

No, he's this animated kid. (Sorry for the weird polka-dot effect; my scanner sometimes does that at low resolutions).

I would expect that the actual skit seen on Sesame Street was different. I believe a lot of the sketches had dialog edited or changed to be appropriate for the subject of the book. All the cheerleaders are wearing shirts with the letter "F." As a side note, doesn't the rightmost muppet seen...

In the Book of People and Things: *Ernie takes a bath in his bathtub Rosie. (I believe this segment was from the very first episode) *Solomon Grundy washes part of his body every day of the week. (ditto) *Kermit talks about the different ways people can feel, with happy and sad faced...

Here's a photo I scanned in from The Sesame Street Book of People and Things containing the original Gordon, a blue & red mailbox, and an orange Oscar!

At this moment: "Sweaters" by Laurie Anderson, on the album Big Science.

I used to have one of those. The color-coding below the keys helped when I wanted to play one of the songs in the booklet it originally came with.

My avatar is an abstract drawing of Big Bird holding a flower, as seen on the cover of The Sesame Street Book of Shapes (1970).

With a little help from eBay, I was able to acquire this set of five Sesame Street books from 1970. I had owned the Sesame Street Book of Shapes and the Sesame Street Book of People and Things when I was younger, although the books didn't appear to survive a household move four years ago...

One feature that distinguished the original Bert puppet (at least from the current) was a nose that drooped down when seen from the side. Did Ernie's outfit change from the original orange-and-purple-striped sweater to the red-and-blue striped one he wears today at the same time he was rebuilt?

My favorite segment involving Grover is the one where he works a shift at O'Brien's Fast Food, and Fat Blue has to reach out and grab the food as it goes by...fast! Too funny.

I had forgotten about that skit, but it all came back to me now! I thought that was hilarious when I first saw it!

You can hear lots of insults by playing the "35 Years of Sesame Street Trash" trivia game.

I believe PrimeStar sold out to DirecTV circa 1999, and the service was phased out.

Although I'm usually keen to pay close attention to things like these, the only long credits sequence I distinctly remember from watching Sesame Street in the late '80s and very early '90s was the "Barkley and kids in the park" sequence (which I loved) accompanied by the wailing harmonica...

I'd like it even more if it had the letters "CTW" in the semicircle on top instead of "123." :p

My question is, if the Educational and Informational programming stipulation dates back to 1990, why did the (e|i) on-screen bug surface only a week and a half ago?

To be honest I wasn't a big fan of Ghostwriter when it was in production: I thought it was a notch or two down from the quality of Sesame Street or Square One TV, and only watched it sporadically. I've come to appreciate it a bit more over the years: It helped reinforce problem-solving...

In the meantime, we have a DVD set of The Electric Company to look forward to, coming early next year: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=20055 http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=21704 I feel that Sesame Workshop's plan may be to release the best-of Electric...
