    Send Dr. Loretta Long Your Stories for Her Book

    yeah, that's what i gather. she said she got the idea because every time someone meets her they always tell her something they remember about watching sesame street or about what sesame street means to them. like "sesame street taught my son how to read" or "i remember watching x episode &...

    Construction Zone

    brownstones were popular in the late 19th century--they don't build new houses in that style or with those materials any more. you're right that they're usually row houses. you do see a lot of single ones these days, but it's generally because it's the only one left standing from that block. and...

    Loretta Long Struck by a Car

    yes, she's fully recovered! you wouldn't even know she had been injured. heck, you wouldn't even know she's been on tv for 40 years--she hasn't changed a bit. although one kid did guess that she had been on Sesame Street for 500 years. she said sometimes it feels like that long, especially when...

    Sesame Street didn't really start having significant changes until the early 1980s

    ah yes, the "extradiegetic" changes, to complete the jargon triad. and not just the ones from other television shows, but other media and technology that vies for the attention of kids and their parents. if we take that into the mix, then we can include their website in the scope of what they...

    Sesame Street didn't really start having significant changes until the early 1980s

    well, we're talking two kinds of changes here. there's the character introductions/departures/life developments, and the changes in the look, sound, and format of the show. in technical terms, the former would be "diegetic" (within the narrative--changes the characters themselves see), and the...

    Canadian Brass and Muppet Music?

    i don't know if they ever covered any muppet music... but i saw them this past december & i told Gene Watts (the trombonist) that I had just been watching their Sesame Street appearances. he said they taped 10 or 12 segments when they were on, so i know there's more than what...

    Chris Cerf is still with the show!

    hmm. ok. because BMI says Cerf, Boylan, and Renzi wrote a song called I Love Words, and ASCAP says Geiss wrote a song called I Love Words. just trying to figure out what's what. btw, at the ssl show, did they only sell that cd, or did they have soundtracks to other currently running shows, too?

    Chris Cerf is still with the show!

    what song are we talking about here? is boylan credited with the lyrics on the soundtrack cd? is renzi credited with anything? at any rate, what songs ARE on the cd, and who are they credited to? maybe you could post it on the muppet wiki's ssl discography page, because the cd isn't even on...

    Chris Cerf is still with the show!

    well, he could be on those panels b/c he knows the book authors rather than b/c he's still with the show. the vee credits could be wrong, too--i seem to think i saw a cd with wrong or impartial credits on it, but can't remember which one or if it was even a ssl or just regular ss. but it...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Weber's overture to Das Liebesverbot...i never noticed how much it sounds like the dot bridge music when the dots go really fast to try to get to 30 before one of them makes a mistake.
