    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Looks like there is an eighth season episode that is lost that was not previously noted.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    One of the big criticisms of the first Nintendo Entertainment System game is that Krang does not appear. But today I read in a TMNT Facebook group that they developed the game before the show premiered in Japan, and didn't have much to go by outside of the show bible. I wonder how far along in...

    Little things we've noticed

    Considering that Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting aired on a Friday night, known as the "friday night death slot", and was in the same time slot as The Jim Henson Hour, which was known for having low ratings (seems it was often last in its timeslot and among the lowest ratings for the week)...

    Little things we've noticed

    Muppet Wiki only confirms a handful of performers in the Adventure number. I was watching last night, and I really don't think Jerry Nelson was performing the Count, though his voice is heard. I'd also be surprised if Frank Oz did Grover there. Don't know who did Ernie, the performance looks...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    In an almost-reversal of how some segments had their last two showings years apart, there's a New York remote segment called Pop Ons, first seen in episode 1315, a season 10 episode. It only aired three times - first in season 10, then once in season 17, and its final airing in season 18...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I wonder how that mix-up occurred.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    It was already explained a few posts ago, but they had two different categories. Sesame Street Episode Guides was for pages that had a full rundown, while Sesame Street Episodes was for any episode (including incomplete information).

    The "You know what?" thread

    Here's a commercial I saw when I was a kid, for Ace Treasure Trolls, which had jewels in their bellies and I think were supposed to be toys to wish on. The commercial made me think so (for a long time I thought they were called Wishing Trolls). 1992 Ace Treasure Trolls Commercial - YouTube...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I saw a post somewhere on the Toughpigs forum, they saw memos from the CTW Archives saying that he'd caused some behaviorial trouble at the location of a public appearance, and that he'd asked for a raise that they denied him. He was interviewed in a book about Jim Henson? Do you recall what...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    It would be great if I could see an official statement that certain segments were indeed just retired for no reason. There are some segments I think of as all-time-classics that were last shown in the 1980s or early 1990s that I feel should have been shown again before season 32, that don’t seem...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    Season 20, the first season without any new Olivia content, repeated at least one street story that she was part of.

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    I wonder how natural it is if segments just stop showing. Yeah, many segments were pulled for either being dated or controversial, and segments with former cast members were pulled, and some segments failed to really teach the kids. It's possible some royalty/residual deals expired (were any...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    Somewhere on the wiki, it says they were not shown at all in season 3. I have heard something about the segments briefly being pulled before they decided to run them again.

    The "You know what?" thread

    I’ve heard that the first few episodes of Dinosaurs originally had a laugh track, removed from later broadcasts and home video releases (why must they alter things for video releases???). I don’t think that is mentioned on the wiki, I recall talking about this somewhere (maybe this forum). but...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I believe that the wiki administrators who were given access to scripts and video materials were informed by the ones who sent the stuff that the episodes were lost or missing (of course some episodes previously reported as lost in the article have ended up being available at the AAPB, so who...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Caddyshack and The Sandlot both have memorable pool scenes, and yet both also have something involving Babe Ruth (in Caddyshack, it's the candybar, while in The Sandlot, it's his autograph on the baseball).

    Questions about anything

    Lately I have been wondering, if a movie is released in theaters with an animated short, is it better for the short to come with a movie that the studio has a lot of faith in, or one that the studio does not expect to be a big hit? Recently I read a quote from Paul Terry, saying that in the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Ever since seeing it in the chapter stops on Sesame Street: Old School Volume 1, I've learned that many official listings of titles list Sesame Street News segments as "Kermit News", though it's always referred to as "Sesame Street News" and the title card reads "News Flash". Kermit never refers...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Where did the Big Bird clip they used come from? Is it an episode or segment that has been released commercially, online through Sesame Workshop, or on HBO Max? I really don’t know where that clip comes from (though it’s clearly not a 1970s clip).
