    Little things we've noticed

    Just because he wasn't voicing characters yet does not mean he wasn't involved with writing songs yet. Thinking a bit about the Monotones, even though it was common for one of the regular voices to be absent, I wonder if instead of Richard Hunt they should have had another of the songwriters...

    Looking at the page and editing history for Blue Bird, I feel I should have clicked on the sourced link, as the page previously only mentioned a little of what Rick Lyon said about Blue Bird. Though the whole quote has been there for months. Back when I only knew of him being dropped because...

    Could have been his opportunity to do more (I don’t think the voice actor did much on Sesame Street, either).

    I should check Muppet Wiki because that was not on the page last time I checked (which was a while ago). Blue Bird kind of sounds like a Kevin Clash character, though I know Clash didn’t do the voice. I wonder why they had it be a separate voice actor as opposed to Rick Lyon.

    This is the first I heard about Caroll Spinney hating the segment (I guess that’s why they didn’t have him play Blue Bird). i don’t really remember the character from when I was a kid though I was actively watching the show then (and it seems like the kind of thing that should have stood out...

    So glad to see a Blue Bird segment. I wonder what it was that made the segments too expensive. The chromo key opening sequence? Having to film outdoors? The need for extras and guest actors?

    I can't wait. Will you be listing the contents of the various marathons the show has had as well?

    That sure is sad (and I really like that SMV logo sequence).

    Little things we've noticed

    Makes me wonder if they thought the intro was too long and decided to just shorten it before completely dropping it. Though starting that way is a rather awkward edit as well. I wonder if some of the edited segments as presented on the site were edited that way on the show at some point. I...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I wonder if that unicycle man cameo was what Caroll Spinney talked about in an “I Am Big Bird” bonus feature where he discussed appearing in magician attire (which could have been the other cameo we know about or could have been this).

    Questions about anything

    Okay. I started wondering if that was likely. I don’t think many would rent so many at once (especially not if it’s more runtime than the return date).

    Questions about anything

    Back in the days of video rentals, were there limits on how many videos and video games could be rented at a time (like, if a person had enough money, could they rent 40 videos in one weekend)?

    Little things we've noticed

    So recently in the classic clips on YouTube thread we were talking a little bit about the two Chrissy's (of the Alphabeats and Monotones) and how the writers most likely didn't care too much about consistency/minutia on such minor characters back then. But it seems they were a little...

    I don't think it was about him living with his parents, I'm thinking more that he seemed to be treated like a child over what his siblings did. I should probably watch that again to see what he actually said. And I did ask that, knowing that Ernie and Bert live together without parents but...

    Little things we've noticed

    While watching Wet Paint recently, I only now notice that the keyboard player plays the instrument with his nose. And the keyboard player is a human AM, not a cow. I guess they were trying to make him cow-like.

    I thought it was odd, with Gina being the fan of Little Jerry, that they'd have Big Jeffy and Chrissy competing to be Gina's prom date, as she's such a fan of Little Jerry and would probably rather be his date. But I guess you could say that she's a big fan of the group but really had the crush...

    Little things we've noticed

    Recently when I watched the episode where Hooper's Store re-opens, at the end we just see Biff and Sully before Biff calls for Stella. And this was kind of done in "This Song's For the Birds", when Biff doesn't realize at first that Stella isn't there and he has to call for her. I wonder if that...

    Just watched the episode with Elmo filling in for Little Jerry. I had previously thought it was odd. Little Jerry wasn't really appearing often at the time, and the group was rarely referred to by name in their old inserts. With Little Chrissy (the one of Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats)...

    Gina had better luck meeting her hero a few seasons earlier. But then again, I don’t think she wanted to sing with the band (even if she does sing better than Mike).
