And I thought he was saying seasons 22 and 23 were the same.

I know fans have had a copy of the Hooper's Store re-opening for years, but I think this is the first time the entire street story was online (the Don Music clip had been available on its own, and I want to say I'd seen another scene online but can't remember). There's some things that I...

Maybe if Jim Henson was on set for the taping of that episode.

One thing I have wondered about. The page on lost episodes points out that certain lost street scenes survive as German dubs. Do we know if Sesame Workshop still has copies of all international dubs in storage or if those just survive because fans happened to record the episodes? I guess it...

Even then, somebody could have recorded it off television while Sesame Workshop lost a useable copy.

Who knows? It doesn't seem like many people recorded season 11 episodes in 1979-1980, but that doesn't mean nobody did (maybe they just haven't come forward yet). After all, there is somebody who recorded and uploaded a number of season 10 episodes back in 1978-1979 (and the fans were not aware...

For those who would happily dump one episode for a different guest, would you replace the whole episode, or just the guest star parts?

Yeah, I don't know why, but I thought some of the animal orchestra actions were a bit scary, but I can't really remember which ones were scary or unnerving (and I've been thinking people don't forget what scared them). Sesame Street Special had a number of things that either scared me or I...

So they've cut down on the celebrities in six years. Though during this time there have been two celebrity montage segments (Rubber Duckie and that counting to 50 by 5 segment). I keep feeling like there's another that I can't quite think of. Even with them cutting down on parodies, it is...

While I haven't watched much of the show since the move to HBO, I feel like they didn't really cut back on celebrity appearances. Seems they still have those as often as before (aside from dropping the daily Word of the Day segments).

Does Piri's name appear in the credits? Since the fans didn't know it was Piri instead of Petey, I assume the credits would have spelled it as Petey. I think the wiki had the actors name credited (which I forget off-hand), if so that would have come from something that would list his character...

If only they'd release the Playhouse Video compilations, Children's Songs and Stories has Friendship, The Gnu, and scenes from the Brooke Shields episode (I wonder if they'd need to renegotiate those, considering they had cleared the rights for the original home video releases).

One thing I thought about is that Disney just didn't want to confirm the reason to Toughpigs while they did confirm the lack of Brooke Shields is music rights issues. They could have lied and said both were due to music rights, how would the fans be able to check on that (they didn't even say...

Looking at the Muppet Wiki page on Tee Collins, the main body of the article mentions an "X-xylophone" segment he did, with a quote saying "it was hard coming up with a happy word for the letter X" (and now the link it's sourced from no longer works). But then there's a gallery of his segments...

I dreamt I was watching a stage production of The Frog Prince, and it was a bit extended from the special. As I woke up this morning I thought I could even detail the whole thing from start to finish, but now I'm starting to forget some. But there were three instances where Robin went to the...

Watching all those street scenes with Don Music, it seems he didn't bang on the head that often in street scenes as he did in the sketches with Kermit. I thought about asking "geeze, did he ever bang his head on the piano in the street scenes?" But I see that he did in his last appearance (which...

In that one with Bob, Susan, and Telly, when Don introduces himself at the beginning ("They call me Mr. Music. Why? Well, because that's my name. Don Music to be exact. And by coincidence I happen to play music, sing music, and write music") should have been his debut appearance, but it came...

I saw the YouTube comments later.

I was slightly thrown off. It said "1972 street scenes" and I mistakenly thought it was street scenes from the year 1972. It is kind of distinctive when episode numbers match years that the show has been on the air.

I watched the show when it was originally on. I don't think I knew anyone else who really watched it (well, I think it was on at 8 in the morning, not sure how likely others are up that early.... I wonder how I got up that early, as I didn't use an alarm clock and don't remember asking my...
