I'd define classic Sesame Street as "Season 1 until Henson's death"; the show took its first dive after that. But yes, a general "vintage CTW" block that covered many shows would draw a lot of nostalgic adults in. Imagine TEC Mondays, 3-2-1 Contact Tuesdays, and so on...

Please, I hope Wisconsin public TV carries the new channel...

My cleaned-up list of ideas... https://www.facebook.com/notes/ingeborg-nord%C3%A9n/silly-idea-the-sesame-street-tarot/1196276320393291

Hmmm. Wonder what a more Sesame-specific deck might look like? I did a Google search for "Sesame Street Tarot" but didn't find more than a few individual fan-drawn cards. So far, these ideas come to mind -- Fool: Ernie (crazy logic, always off on his own adventures) with a laundry basket...

Amen. The new set design made a lot of needless changes IMO (Elmo having to squish into Susan and Gordon's place -- what the [bleep]?!) But those doors were there (1) to give the street an inner-city look, and (2) to hint at the symbolism behind the show's name. (Learning is like a magic...

Whoever it was may have seen the "crumpled napkin" variant in #355 (Noggin kept that in) and thought the napkin was an iceberg.

A few memories from the early 90s: Rosita (who still had wings back then) is upset that she can't fly; the adults on the street comfort her, showing Rosita other things her wings were good for. The show ended with Rosita giving Maria a big wing-hug... (Where's an "awww" smiley when you need...

In the words of Grover, "I am so embarrassed!" Setting the history of Sesame Street to music (especially someone else's music) was a lot harder than I thought; unfortunately, the rhythm and rhyme in the original song made it impossible to fit the Around the Corner reference where it belonged.

DrTooth: I agree that Sesame Workshop should be trying to protect profits, considering their budget problems. Penalizing us for posting full episodes is fine, up to a point. If the Workshop hasn't already offered a show for sale, and if some third-party distributor doesn't object to certain...

Because of a copyright complaint from Sesame Workshop, I have voluntarily closed both of my old accounts (which deletes all former uploads in the process). I did create a new account (justlooking12313) to continue watching/commenting on other clips; however, I apologize for any problems that the...

The Norwegian user who contributed so many Sesam Stasjon clips to YouTube is back with a new account-- http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAE7A330F13F524C0 If you understand any Scandinavian language and you're a Sesame Street old-schooler, most of the uploads on that list are a major...

As often as I've joked about Elmo hogging Sesame Street, I realize that Muppet characters who grow that popular are unlikely to get dropped from the show forever. Whether Kevin Clash is a misunderstood victim or a heinous criminal, the target audience for Sesame Street doesn't equate "Clash the...

Most of the long-time members here know I'm not a major fan of Elmo; despite that, I still worry about whether Sesame Street will survive so much negative press. The Workshop has had to face Jerry Nelson's death, Romney's "I love Big Bird" disclaimer, Hurricane Sandy hitting New York--and now...

And a hand can YANK, as poor Kermit discovered the hard way at the end!

(Before I continue: Sorry to spam the thread here, but since I'm writing about three unrelated aspects of Season 43 I thought it justified three separate posts. :o ) Two classic bits that I wish the Season 43 writers had left as they have been for decades-- "One of These Things (Is Not Like...

On a more serious note: I admit I enjoy the fake ad bits at the end of this season's episodes. Since the letter/number "sponsorships" originally poked fun at the brief sponsor credits on commercial TV, it's logical that Sesame Street would write longer, detailed spoofs of its own longer...

Agreed! As much as I dislike seeing Sesame Street carved up into several mini-shows starring one character, those "Elmo: the Musical" sketches are both funnier and more educational than "Elmo's World" ever was. There's still a predictable structure, but none of it feels like pointless filler...

What's your YouTube screenname--same as the one you use here? I wanted to take a look but couldn't find your channel.

And 1079 for Big Bird winning the trip, right? :) I vaguely recall watching that episode on Grandma's TV when I was a girl, but never saw the rest of the Hawaiian story arc until I began collecting old episodes online. If Sesame Workshop does decide to offer all the relevant episodes for...

I remember a Honolulu journalist e-mailing me about those plans to release the Hawaiian week on DVD; she'd noticed my original uploads to YouTube and wanted to tell me that Buffy Sainte-Marie had signed the release you mentioned. It's too bad that Genius' financial problems ruined the deal...
