On alt.tv.sesame-street, someone once mentioned that one of the 1969 shows on SSU had Big Bird being voiced by Jim Henson. I put two and two together, and have deduced that the episode he was referring to was indeed #83 (the one you mentioned). If that's true, then it explains why Big Bird's...

I can; the rights are held by The Jim Henson Company.

Ernie Henson and Bert Oznowicz are pretty good names for E&B...(I think "Oznowicz" is better for Bert than "Oz"...)

Actually, there were no episodes sponsored by 40. It's just that, besides number-specific segments, the aforementioned segments were generic counting segments used in episodes no matter what the sponsor. For the first season, these sort of segments went from 1-10; from 1970 to maybe 1984, they...

On Warrick's FR site, there is a picture of some "naked" Fraggle puppets of Gobo, Red, Wembley, and Boober. However, seeing what the others look like without clothes makes me realize something: Boober is nude on the show! (Well, except for his hat...) And I wonder...could Boober possibly be a...

I know they talk about real events, but the "SS for Adults" was a joke one of the comics made, and they made up a fake clip to go along with it. OK?

It's a joke. After all, Tough Crowd is on COMEDY Central. ;)

Hi, One cartoon I remember from Sesame Street is the "J-train" cartoon with the J locomotive attaching to other cars to make words (it appears in such Unpaved episodes as #1364 and #2257). Now, the voiceover sounds familiar...and I have wondered, does anybody know if the voiceover ("Hey...

I meant in episode #1576, from 1981.

In 1576, Big Bird mentions several relatives, including his Uncle Slim, a cowbird from Montana (who we see at the end of the episode)

I can infer that DFF is going to be on "Walt Disney on the Front Lines," so we will get it this year.

Actually, Q, Y, and 11.

:rolleyes: I don't think that the cancellation of Unpaved is something to kill yourself over. And you and mikealan don't need to keep bringing up the fact that it's gone. We already know, OK? :)

I don't think the ending was changed. The version I saw at the Museum of Television and Radio had the same ending: Lily Tomlin and Dudley Moore discovering they're locked in the theater.

"Hypermarionation." And that project is being done by Gerry Anderson himself, not Parker and Stone.

I saw both series of segments on the show as late as 1992! (And that's when I stopped watching, so I can't vouch for after that.)

You mean like this?

Nope. Barth (who ran a hamburger joint, not a cafeteria) was only played by one person, Les Lye (who played ALL of the adult male roles on the show).

Hi, I recently rediscovered the classic 80s kids' sketch comedy, You Can't Do That on Television (which used to be on Nickelodeon long, long ago), and I was wondering...are there any fans of it here? Come on, somebody here besides me has to have laughed when someone got slimed after saying "I...

Actually, I think Christopher Cerf may have only performed Chris' voice. I mean, I've never heard of him being a puppeteer...
