Big Bird on a carousel: I feel like part of the segment with Big Bird on the carousel has been in clip montages (I know it's in the "What a Bird!" montage in the 20th anniversary special) and the image in a few publications (I'm pretty sure that it's in that Big Boy comic on the Muppets)...

I thought of a few more segments from seasons 10 and 11 that Frank Oz did that I forgot to note: In season 10, he did some Anything Muppets in Don Music's Alphabet Song, and I can hear his voice as one of the back-up singers in Twinkle Twinkle. In season 11, he performed some of the Pipet...

In the last couple of days, I have gone through various sketch guides on Muppet Wiki to determine how often Frank Oz performed each year on Sesame Street in seasons 10-19. I'm guessing seasons 10 and 11 are most likely to have a lot of segments where we don't know Frank performed, maybe some AM...

I think the show still aired segments from the 1990s for a few years after the switch to HD in season 39.

I'm sure that after a while, it'd be hard to re-air every segment each season - even back when there were 130 episodes that did not have to dedicate portions of the show to fairly long daily segments like Elmo's World (and even if you ignore all the segments that were officially pulled from...

Oscar thinks Slimy is running away: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2373 This one features "He Lost His Duckie". That page sources info that kids found the singing hard to understand so it was pulled not too long after this airing. But it debuted in season 13 and this episode is from...

I never would have thought "Seven Days" would be a variation of "Eight Days a Week". And when I saw the explanation on what led to this thinking, I couldn't really understand how it's a clue.

Forgetful Jones writes a story: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2051 Man, season 16 had a lot of episodes I really want to see.

Maybe it's just me, and maybe this is something for its own thread, but it seems like Oscar seeing Snuffy in episode 2042 is more epic than any other time before episode 2096 where Snuffy is seen by anyone besides Big Bird. And that's only going by the guide at Muppet Wiki. There had been...

Yet another awesome-sounding episode - Oscar is tasked with finding a winner for the Grouch of the Year Award. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2081

This episode looks cool, a blackout on Sesame Street: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2072 Interestingly, it has the Ernie and Bert blackout sketch, where Oscar seems to be bothered by getting a call about it, but a later street scene shows Oscar liking the blackout.

Yes.

Somehow, I missed the fact that a guide for episode 2099 has been on the wiki for over a week. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2099 There's also a guide for episode 2100 (but not images of all the scenes), so the first week of season 17 is fully guided. I wondered if the whole week...

A few things about that post are incorrect. Disney never owned the rights to Fraggle Rock, Jim Henson's deal to sell the Muppets fell through so Disney didn't own the company from 1991-1997 (they did have the home video rights during those years, though - maybe that's where the confusion...

In the last day I've been watching some YouTube videos of people reading some of the books inspired by Follow That Bird, including Count All the Way to Sesame Street, and one of the only FTB-inspired books I couldn't find such reading videos of is Big Bird Visits the Dodos, but I saw a few...

Haven't really paid attention to how many more season 16 episodes need pages on the wiki, but of the three humans to start believing in Snuffy that season - Gordon, Maria, and Linda - Gordon seems to be the one most enthusiastic about seeing that Snuffy is real. There's an episode where...

Episode 2042 - in which Oscar meets Mr. Snuffleupagus! https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2042 This is an interesting episode. Gordon plans to wait by Oscar's can to meet Snuffy, Oscar wants him away and tries to trick him, and when Gordon reluctantly leaves for a moment, Snuffy shows...

While Junior Gorg was often antagonistic to the Fraggles (usually by keeping them out of the garden or wanting them as a pet, sometimes having violent motives) and Ma Gorg was afraid of the Fraggles (in a similar way to housewives being afraid of mice), Pa Gorg rarely seemed to really dislike or...

I've recently seen that Trash Outta Heaven has appeared in at least two episodes (and the second known appearance isn't a street story repeat). Cool to officially know that the segment was indeed an insert and not just a street scene meant to only air once.

Is it just me, or does it seem like, around season 10, when they started to get more performers to be on the Sesame Street set on a full-time basis, a lot of the newly-introduced characters were primarily used in street scenes and rarely in inserts? A lot of characters during this era were only...
