    Questions about anything

    There's a song I recently heard on the radio a few times, although I think I understand enough lyrics, I have trouble finding what the song is via typing in the lyrics. I'm not sure who the singer is, but the lead singer is a woman, and there's a chorus of children. To me it sounds like it...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Forgetful was in street scenes just as often as he was in inserts taking place away from the street (though maybe there were less inserts with him out in the old west by the end of his run).

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Brian Meehl as Alphabet Bates. 1329 Alphabet Bates Makes an O - YouTube While I noticed he seemed to be talking with a French accent in Everybody Makes Mistakes, I wasn't expecting him to also be speaking French on the show. I guess it's good they kept up with the consistency (is there...

    Little things we've noticed

    And of course, Michael Earl was a main performer from 1979-1981 (he has said that during that time, he, Meehl, and Spinney were the only Muppet performers available on a daily basis), and in the late-1980s and early-1990s Camille Bonora was on quite a bit (though none of her characters really...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I am pleasantly surprised that very few segments seem to have been blocked due to being on HBO Max (and I've even seen that some people have uploaded entire episodes, which I have actually resisted watching on YouTube). The Monsterpiece Theater segment The Monsters of Venice has been blocked in...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The theme song from Nearly Departed, a very short-lived sitcom that I didn't really know about until recently (though I did tape something that had a promo for it). Nearly Departed theme and titles - YouTube

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    There have been times when video had been blocked due to having content featured in a documentary or something only to come back later. There was that period when Lions Gate blocked Sesame Street footage that appeared in 20 and Still Counting, and there was a period when segments that were...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've recently learned of a handful of short-lived sitcoms - Jennifer Slept Here, Nearly Departed - where the concept is that somebody died and their spirit continues to live in their old home while a new family lives there, with only one person able to see and hear them. The shows didn't last...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Hey Arnold recast many of the characters, and I never noticed without it being pointed out (currently I can hear differences better). I knew about Arnold’s first recast before I heard it (the others I think I first knew after the episodes aired), one Hey Arnold website reported it with “why...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    It was interesting seeing them make the new characters, seeing them put fabric on blocks of foam. I wasn’t expecting it to be that (but I guess I didn’t really think about It). I was thinking that the puppets were entirely made by what was on the outside, that the fabric was naturally that...

    Little things we've noticed

    In the 1970s, it seems like Jerry performed 90 percent of the recurring characters, then in the 1980s and later, he didn’t get as many new recurring characters on the show, while continuing to do one-shots frequently (and to an extent this seems the case for The Muppets as well, even as many...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    The promos made it seem like it'd be more of a look back at the show in general than it's focus on more important topics that the show has been addressing. Makes me wonder if the network was worried about turning off certain viewers. The second half felt more like I was watching an ABC news...

    Little things we've noticed

    Recently I've seen a few fans on Facebook point out that Jerry Nelson seemed less available in seasons 14-18 (the time when he was performing on Fraggle Rock), which I didn't think he was that scarce. I guess after Fraggle Rock ended, he was able to be on Sesame Street a lot more.

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    I agree, though I don’t know what the right title would be. “A History of Sesame Street’s Diversity” has a nice ring to it, but doesn’t feel entirely accurate to me (I can’t decide if that would reflect the divorce episode, but don’t think it reflects things like Mr. Hooper’s death, and we do...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    Within a half hour I figured that this must be focusing primarily on the moments that were a big deal for the show.

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years of Sunny Days"

    I wasn’t expecting clips from the divorce episode and Mr. Hooper’s death to be shown within the first 12 minutes.

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    And now I find that the end credits sequence to Muppet Moments is on YouTube (and I had been wrong all these years - I thought this one had the season five version of the closing theme but it is the season 3/4 version, I guess they wanted that for the last batch of compilation videos). 1985...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I’ve never been too big on Ed, Edd and Eddy (I tolerated it at best but often found it as annoying as Spongebob), I wonder if it would have been more to my liking if it aired on Nickelodeon. Though it was around that point that I was becoming less interested in new Nickelodeon shows, so maybe...
