    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    I will admit that Indian tapestry background the "12" floats around on at the end looks really nice, even if that bit does go on for some time. Yeah, I wasn't expecting THAT much from this segment, not like Episode 847 or something. I figured it wouldn't be super-scary or something, but I...

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    Yeah, like I said, it goes on for much too long and is pretty slow-paced. I'm betting THAT'S why they eventually stopped airing it in the early 80s.

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    Here it is! Geez, does it go on for quite a while. It's nearly three minutes long. No wonder many found it so unsettling!

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This has finally been uploaded! Geez, it does go on for quite a while... nearly three minutes long! I can see why many found it unsettling.

    Lloyd Morrisett (1929-2023)

    That's too bad. I read about his story in the "Street Gang" book, and how his little daughter was fascinated by television and he wondered if it could be used to teach preschool-aged children.

    HBO Max removes nearly 200 Sesame Street episodes, modern specials, and the Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo

    On a similar note, HBO Max just removed all the "Looney Tunes" cartoon shorts from 1951 to 2004. And that included a lot of their best titles! Of course, David Zaslav is to blame once again, in another one of his signature controversial moves, and I bring that up in this vlog where I also...

    Remembering Bob McGrath (June 13, 1932-December 4, 2022)

    Oh, man! It's bad enough that Emilio Delgado (Luis) dies this spring, but now Bob McGrath too? R.I.P. to two prominent male "Sesame Street" figures from my childhood... :cry:

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    I think they still have that policy with no kids under 12 being allowed on the floats due to the COVID thing. So, no kid dancers. And of course, when announcing the "Sesame Street" float, they kick it off with the instrumental track based on the Season 40-45 arrangements of the opening theme...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Ahhhh, HERE comes the Sesame Street float on NBC! It came in kind of late this year; then again things were already a little different this year, with them doing the "Let's Have a Parade" countdown right before the Tom Turkey float crosses the Macy's stage. Of course, I loved seeing Julia on...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    First, I started watching the parade on CBS, where they give better coverage of the floats and balloons, compared to NBC virtually ignoring those in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and all the Broadway musical numbers. I also saw a brief glimpse of the Sesame Street float on CBS's coverage...

    Your Thoughts: Fraggle Rock at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    I enjoyed seeing Uncle Traveling Matt's little segment in the parade! Did anyone catch that, too?

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    50 years ago today, the very first Sesame Street News segment premiered on episode 409 (the "Rapunzel" one). So here's a revised compilation I put together on how the Sesame Street News logo has changed over the years, including some rare variations (what with over 70 of these fast-breaking news...

    YouTube Poops

    Today's my birthday, so in honor of the occasion I uploaded what is obviously the very first YouTube Poop ever made of anything relating to "Big Bag" (Cartoon Network's short-lived preschool series from 1996-98 co-produced with CTW)... Pooping obscure animation has always been a specialty of...

    The Nostalgia Critic Thread Lives Again!

    Well, this year's NostalgiaWeen was another disappointment. Just reviews of horror movies, something the Nostalgia Critic already does year round (i.e. FreakShow Cinema). It's like "Halloween is Grinch Night" or "Toy Story of Terror" in that it has nothing to actually do with Halloween (now we...

    YouTube Poops

    I recently remastered a YTP I made ten years ago, of the late 1960s Warner Bros.- Seven Arts cartoons... This is partly due to the 20th anniversary of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" (which I consider the spiritual successor to these cartoons, especially since the same company produced both) and...

    Yep, I noticed that too. Maybe one day they'll be available on streaming again...

    HBO Max removes nearly 200 Sesame Street episodes, modern specials, and the Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo

    Not just "Sesame Street," but HBO Max also has a great library of Looney Tunes shorts, not just the newer series but LOTS of classics from 1931 to 2004. Even cartoons that Boomerang's (currently dormant) streaming service doesn't want to touch. (Still no Speedy Gonzales, though.) And they're all...

    Scooby-Doo and the Muppet Babies' Hassle in the Castle!

    Here's another one of my combining a classic "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episode with the original Muppet Babies; this time, the tots accompany the gang in the classic mystery "Hassle in the Castle!" I used a few bits from the "Muppet Babies" episode "Muppetland," largely due to Gonzo's spooky...
