    Nick at Nite Thread

    I first got Nickelodeon in 1992, surprised I don't remember Dixie. I remember being able to see Rugrats and Peanuts on Nick at Nite once (it was usually after my bedtime on Sundays), I recall seeing Snoopy's Getting Married Charlie Brown on Nick at Nite, can't remember which Rugrats episode I...

    Little things we've noticed

    Jerry Nelson worked with Jim before Sesame Street, when there wasn't a lot of work for all of Jim's crew, and he had to let him go since he was the newest hire, but would occasionally let him perform when needed. I don't know why he didn't ask him to do Sesame Street until after the first season...

    Richard's first vocal performance on SS

    His first performance with the Muppets was in The Great Santa Claus Switch, and Muppet Wiki says that he did voice a character.

    Little things we've noticed

    Didn't really notice Jim doing a lack of Anything Muppets in season two. Though in season one, the main performers were Jim, Frank, and Caroll, and it seems Caroll didn't get a lot of lead AM roles. Season two brought on Jerry Nelson, so they likely wanted to utilize him a lot. There were...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I found a series about the many shows that have aired on Nickelodeon. The web series is called Nick Knacks. This playlist shows that so far, there are 91 episodes (I've only watched the most recent one, on Looney Tunes). I'll have many hours to catch up (though I guess I don't care about every...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    I’ve been watching this a lot more in the last few months…. And I am really enjoying it a lot more than I did when it first surfaced online. As I keep listening, I feel like one of the backup vocals sounds a bit like the voice Kevin Clash tended to use for young characters (like Sam in Getting...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Somebody got a copy of the first draft of the Follow That Bird script and talks about the differences on YouTube. It is really interesting. Some things I had suspected/wondered about are explained in the script.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I don't expect to really get an answer, but in that daycare episode, Martin Robinson is obviously wearing Bruno (since Irvine is in the trash can), when he enters he makes some kind of grunt sound. Makes me wonder if it was Robinson (since he was in the character) or Caroll Spinney (who was...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    It was trying to be like Blue’s Clues. Nick Jr. aired the same episode all week. I think I saw an article that talked about why they did that with Blue’s Clues, can’t remember if it made it easier to learn when they got the same lesson all five days or if kids liked getting to rewatch the same...

    Cool Counting Collection: MC Style

    Huh. All this time I thought he counted backwards from 20 (maybe other people’s false memory?). I guess I subconsciously continued to assume that after seeing it online.

    He did say that the only kind of rabbit he’s not allergic to is a stewed rabbit. I guess that way he’s unaffected, or maybe he was just going to stew the rabbit for the evil of it and not actually eat it.

    Cool Counting Collection: MC Style

    One thing I didn’t think about until this week: Miami Mice does involve 20, but it’s counting backwards from 20 (kinda fitting for a numbers collection to end with a lesson on counting backwards), but it seems like it’s not as about 20 as I had thought. Going by the Muppet Wiki description and...

    Cool Counting Collection: MC Style

    Now I’m remembering that there’s a three or four part segment where Grover watches as a girl counts to a high number (I think 100). Maybe that could have been good inter spread across the segments (though what points do each part end and begin at?). Or maybe the segment where a girl tells...

    Cool Counting Collection: MC Style

    Good list. I wondered if you'd still include segments that made it to the DVD (part of me wondered if we should have just added one classic clip for each number). Considering the Harvey Kneeslapper segment involved him holding a cookie, it is fitting for "do you want one?" to follow "How Many...

    Nick at Nite Thread

    During the tenth anniversary marathon, there was a special called Those Nick at Nite Promos. I only caught the end of that special when it aired, and for years I have been looking for it online. And just a few nights ago, I found it. Those Nick at Nite Promos - 10 Years of Better Living...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    When I was a kid, I didn't really notice the field trips being educational. I was always excited because it meant we got to spend most of the day out of school (so I find it odd on television when characters tend to dislike these trips). I don't remember many times when we were required to write...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On most of Judd Hirsch's sitcoms, he played a character who had been estranged from his daughter for years before the shows began (including cases where that's not a real big plot point). The first episode of Taxi has Alex call up his daughter in Florida and meet her for the first time since...

    Sketches You Hated as a Kid

    In the past, somebody on this forum said that the reason they only had credits once a week was because they felt the time allotted for end credits could be better used to teach more lessons, but Union rules mandated that they had to have credits at least once a week. I’m not sure how official...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I guess Monsters in Day Care is the most distinctive, as it had Herry visiting children in day care and then goes back to his own monster day care (club house?) to tell them what he learned. Must have been part of the seasons curriculum to show kids in day care.
