    When did this begin?

    I've watched enough Season 35 and Season 36 episodes to notice a trend: the topic of "Elmo's World" is usually linked to the main story on the street. The one which aired today (Grover teaching a school for would-be superheroes) had cast members rescuing an H from a tree nearby; the "EW"...

    Things-of-the-day, international style

    Most Sesame Street veterans on this forum remember the end-of-show announcement "Sesame Street was brought to you today by..."; the writers are still using that phrase even though the show has changed its format drastically. (Those letter/number spots no longer feel like network TV commercials...

    "Doo-wop 15" clip wanted

    If anyone has copied that clip into a format my PC can read (.wmv is best, but I can also handle .avi files)...I'd appreciate that very much. I'm willing to trade a few comedy clips from my own machine for that one; unfortunately, the only Sesame-related one I have is fairly common. P.S...

    Classic street segment about O

    Does anybody else have a clearer memory of this 70s segment? Several cast members are comparing circular objects to the letter O, after which each object is ruined in some way. I forget who the human characters were, but Oscar was one of the Muppets appearing in this sketch. A donut which...

    N is for New Yawkah

    Does anyone else remember this cartoon from the 70s? A small man grunts "Unnnh!" repeatedly, pushing an enormous capital letter N along as oppressively slow synthesizer music plays in the background. The melody ends as the N drops away with a crash. Finally, the man who had moved the letter...

    ...and by the word "surprise" (not really!)

    Believe it or not, I recall one early 90s episode (regular, not a holiday or anniversary special) which aired no clips about a specific letter or number until the last 15-20 minutes. After being kept in suspense for so long, I wondered whether the writers were going for another "brought to you...

    Alphaquest clip I'd have loved to "C"...

    [MUSIC: the "Alphaquest" theme plays, as a nameless GIRL searches the hallway for a new lettered door. A door marked "c" glows in the end, and the Girl opens it...] C.... [The GIRL finds herself in a living room, with one corner dominated by a large couch; the couch is overstuffed and...

    "Letter censorship" stories

    I've known of at least three Sesame Street bits (on TV and/or in books) that share the same basic plot: The central character dislikes one letter of the alphabet and tries to abolish that letter. When the CC gets his/her wish, important objects and/or people disappear (sometimes by magic...

    "Hugging": rough ideas for a Sesame fanscript

    I don't have a full plot, just a few Muppet scenes and a list of "filler" clips that would fit the theme. For now, I'm undecided whether this should imitate a video release or a "regular" episode complete with sponsors-of-the-day.... Central Muppet characters: Rosita (she loves to hug, based...

    Eight-episode weirdness (and a fanscript)

    "That's eight! Eight episodes in a row! Ah-ah-ah!" [SFX: maniacal laughter, thunder and lightning] Do any of you remember a string of eight consecutive episodes in which the letter X was a sponsor? I personally saw that on TV at the end of the "two letters/one number" years (though the exact...

    I could have sworn...

    Somehow, I dimly recall a 70s episode being "brought to you today by the entire alphabet"--with no numbers mentioned at all, and no specific letters flashed onscreen. Back when the late, great CTW forums existed, someone said they recalled "no episode NOT sponsored by a number"; I might be...
