I think it was a parody of commercials in general, not a specific one.

One thing I’ve noticed is that in the transition before Do De Rubber Duck, there’s a sound clip of Bert making a pigeon noise. Audio of a Rubber Duckie squeaking and/or Ernie laughing would have been more appropriate for here. Makes me wonder if they planned to include Doin’ the Pigeon or some...

I wonder if there should have been some "character captions" for the "What's the Name of That Muppet?" section, since it seems to be asking a question. Many of the characters are referred to by name in their segments, but a handful (Lefty, Little Jerry and the Monotones) are not. Or maybe during...

I thought it was said that they would include some unaired segments (besides "Snuffy's parents get a divorce") as well as segments that aired but not very often. If they didn't air at all, then they probably wouldn't have an episode number to find the video copies (right now I'm trying to...

I decided to tally up how many segments each character (well, most of them) appear in disc 1: Big Bird - 6 Elmo - 10 Ernie - 14 Bert - 10 Cookie Monster - 13 Grover - 13 Herry Monster - 5 Telly Monster - 6 Abby Cadabbby - 6 Zoe - 4 Rosita - 5 The Count - 4 Kermit - 6 Oscar - 6 Guy Smiley - 2...

It'd be ridiculous to make a wishlist if I won't be going, but there is so much I hope get shown. Starship Surprise, Forgetful Jones On a Roll with Cowboy Cole, Alphabet Polka, some Leslie Mostly and Deena and Pearl sketches (looking at "what links here" at Muppet Wiki, I recently found that, as...

I wonder if that event will have the whole episodes or just street scenes, though given that it's to showcase "lost" Sesame, they would be better off just showing the street scenes (I wonder if there is a mastered version of "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" with inserts; they tested it with...

I wonder if Toughpigs will have a review of this. Since Joe helped put it together, it'd be unfair for him to review the set, but Ryan still could (not to mention Toughpigs has a number of other contributors). In fact, The Muppet Mindset hasn't reviewed the set, either. I've checked and have...

Episode 441 has images: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0441 We can finally see what the Muppet version of Officer Krumpky looks like (and we learn that the Muppet was performed by Jerry Nelson as opposed to Frank Oz, perhaps an error due to the fact that Oz would portray the human...

Today I decided to watch "Bob's Brother". When I first saw that Jeff Goldblum would be on this set, my reaction was "that's cool, at least one street story that hasn't been officially available since its original season", without being that excited, but in watching, it is an amazing episode. I...

So will the show start being available only for streaming and not broadcast (until they can air on PBS)? I wonder if this will be like Netflix, where for original series, they put out every episode of the season at once as opposed to putting out one new episode at a time.

Some more tallys - how many segments from each year listed (I'm going by the year (not season) listed in the review, which goes by broadcast year; I do know off-hand which season but some I don't): 1969 - 1 1970 - 5 1971 - 2 1972 - 7 1973 - 1 1974 - 3 1975 - 2 1976 - 1 1977 - 2 1978 - 5...

I would expect Sesame Workshop to provide the footage, though. I doubt the Henson Company Archives have much Sesame Street video content in their archives (they most likely have copies of all Jim Henson's films, and Out to Lunch, 20 and Still Counting, and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland...

I'd been thinking about that as well. Though I put 1969 with the 1970s. Seems like most of the celebrity guests appeared in widescreen HD segments. The only ones in fullframe segments, not counting street stories, are Madeline Kahn, Patti LeBelle, and REM. I don't think so. They're not...

The review says to think of this set more like a sampler than a full course meal. Couldn't you say the same about most of the other collectors-market Sesame releases? It's said in the interview that there should have been a Mr. Hooper-focused street story. While the set lacks one, Mr. Hooper...

Clearly changes had been made after the initial announcements. Various articles and the trailers include Patti LeBelle singing "Gospel Alphabet", but it instead has "How I Miss My X" (upon seeing it listed, I skipped straight to that part to see if it was a mistake). As for other things...

I set the alarm clock for early this morning and set out to everywhere I can think of that would have it (and now I'm thinking of a few places I've overlooked), and I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere (including places like Target, which list it on their site). Then I decided to...

An on-screen appearance by Alphabet Bates. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1461 So far the characters wiki page doesn't say who performed Dominique. I'm hoping this is just an oversight and not a case where the voice is hard to determine (I assume she had dialogue in this episode).

I started watching America's Funniest Home Videos and America's Funniest People around 1991, at the time time I was starting to get into Full House. With both shows being hosted by a Full House male adult, that made Jesse my least favorite of the three male leads (just because he didn't host...

Today I've been trying to determine if there are more Monsterpiece Theater segments on DVD or more DVDs containing Monsterpiece Theater, not counting bonus videos on DVD or iTunes releases, and it is tied - 8 segments, 8 releases (counting the upcoming 50 Years and Counting). The 8 on DVD...
