    "Wanted: the Great Cookie Thief" now an iOS app!

    Felt like sharing this here: This actually reminds me a lot of the 1985 Golden Book Video adaptation of the same book, complete with identical partial animation effects (except they actually have their lips move now, too) and even the same "Nobody knows the problem we have" song! I also...

    A visual idea on "Bert's R Machine..."

    One of my favorite things on the Muppet Alphabet Album when I was a kid was the classic "Bert's R Machine" segment. Since it was never made into a sketch on the show, I made up what it would probably have looked like... (The scene opens in Ernie and Bert’s apartment living room. Bert has some...

    The "Around the Corner" episodes

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this, as these are for mid-to-late 1990s episodes, but I actually remember some Sesame Street episodes from when my brother was younger and still watching the show at that time. Most of them are from Season 28 (1996-1997), or maybe one is from Season...

    Wuv-Luvs!

    Does anyone on this thread remember a genuinely bizarre toy called the "Wuv Luv?" Here is a commercial for them, from 1999-2000: Yes, long story short, it was a toy that ACTUALLY GAVE BIRTH (in an even more graphic manner than the Fuzz Luvs.) A little creepy, and a little gross at the same...

    Was "Dental Hyjinks" the Muppet Babies series pilot?

    I had recently watched the Muppet Babies episode "Dental Hyjinks" again and I kinda have to agree with some of the YouTube users' comments. This was most likely the series pilot, and once the show was greenlit, "Noisy Neighbors" was produced as the first episode to air. This would make sense...

    Sesame Street at the Macy's Parade - 2011

    Anyone else catch this yet? It was pretty brief and unannounced, but it was still a fun romp. Same float as always, and I could see Alan, Luis, Maria, Bob, etc. on the float. Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster were in the nest, and Murray Monster even had a brief solo! (Sounds like Murray's...

    Fake news article about SS being scary for kids!

    OK, I don't know what I was thinking when I came up with this... :insatiable: PARENTS FIND SESAME STREET FRIGHTENING FOR KIDS! By Alan Smithers 8/29/1997 Recent members of the S.N.U.H. Parents’ group have been picketing outside the offices of Children’s Television Workshop in New York City...

    Has "Mysterious Theater" been unofficially banned by SW?

    I have recently noticed, with the new release of the "Sesame Street Spoofs" DVD set, that "Mysterious Theater" had been excluded. Likewise on the "40 Years of Sunny Days" DVD set (I thought they'd include one for one of the 1989-1993 seasons!) Additionally, only one of them is available on...

    My new Scooby-Doo mask!

    Just got this custom full-head latex Scooby-Doo mask in early this week... I really like it! (Yeah, many of you already know I'm a Scooby-Doo fan.) For those wondering where I got it, it was a custom job by a Halloween mask/prop maker. Not bad for a mask that I only purchased for $50 (I love...

    My Sesame Street YouTube Poops:

    OK, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post these in, but some of you may know (such as DrTooth) that I am a YouTube Poop-maker, and I have often used "Sesame Street" clips (both classic and contemporary) as a poop source. Here are the ones I made so far...

    What's the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" NBC theme song called?

    I was watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade again and I wanted to know what the marching music they always play after the "Let's have a parade!" is called. It's not "Seventy Six Trombones," that's for sure. It's always like... Da, da, daa-dada, da, da, daa-dada... etc. It starts in...

    Grover works for Amtrak! (a Waiter Grover fan-fic)

    This is inspired by the "Real Wheels" video "There Goes a Train," which had a scene that reminded me of the old "Waiter Grover" skits. So here you go... (We start on live-action stock footage of a modern Amtrak Superliner train speeding through the countryside. Then we fade into the dining...

    Updated version of Ernie and Bert's Appliance War!

    Now that the original version of the 1969 skit about Bert and Ernie's blackout is on YouTube, I have taken the liberty of doing my "modernized" version of the skit... (We start on Ernie and Bert watching TV, a rather loud DVD of some old Western movie.) Bert: Hey Ernie… Ernie I’m tired...

    I did a project on the history of SST in college this week!

    Yep. In my Creative Dramatics class for my project on something related to Childrens' Dramatics, I did it on the history of Sesame Street! I did a PowerPoint slideshow, then I played a montage of Sesame Street intro sequences (we had already seen the 1969-1992 opening, so my montage included the...

    The Sesame Street Golden Book Video Discussion Thread!

    I'm sure some of you remember those goofy Sesame Street-related "storybook video" tapes that Golden Book Video released in 1985: "Three Sesame Street Stories" and "Five Sesame Street Stories" (both later combined into an hour-long video entitled "Eight Super Sesame Street Stories"). Well, last...

    SST Episode Outline: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street (an adaptation)

    SESAME STREET EPISODE LAYOUT: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street NOTE: This will be done as a modern-style episode like the past season, since I think adapting a book like this would seem to be better suited as a single street story, IMO. This episode is adapted from the Golden Book...

    A parody on "Five Sesame Street Stories" my friend and I did

    A good friend of mine and I are doing a MST3K-type series of YouTube videos we call "Golden Book Video Killers." It is hosted by Disney's Grumpy and WB's Daffy Duck (brought to life via Chuckimation) who riff on those old Golden Book Videos (the ones with the cheesy limited partial animation...

    Evolution of Sesame Street segment title cards

    I noticed that some of the long-running recurring Sesame Street sketches that used title cards had them replaced or modified over time. I will list the ones I know... SUPER GROVER 1973-1992 title card: The most well-known intro, where we start on a close up of the "G" shield as we zoom out...
