    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    I'm not that surprised. It's been widely sourced that Richard Hunt disliked performing Elmo and threw him to another performer. I always suspected it was shortly after he took over the character. The sources say that he took over Elmo after Meehl left (though that could have been an inaccuracy...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    Seasons 2 and 3. Also season 6. Just last year, when I was looking at how much coverage each season had, I found it interesting that only the premier had a full guide on the wiki. The Toughpigs "50 at 50" article on season six also talks about how rare the season is (in terms of full...

    The Monkees General Discussion

    I remember when The Monkees was on Nick at Nite during Block Party Summer in 1997. I hadn't seen the show before, and it was interesting because I don't think Nick at Nite showed it outside of Monkee Mondays. There wasn't a week-long marathon to welcome the show (which by 1997 was unheard of for...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    The various press releases also confirmed the NYC Marathon with Gordon and Snuffy will be included, and I think the Vulture article said that it'll have Snuffy's debut (but will it just be the two scenes involving his introduction or all of the street scenes?). I sure do hope we get a few...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I totally miscounted there. I meant episode 2100. Can't believe I thought 3000 came (immediately) after 2099.

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    I know it's too late now, but in thinking about what versions of various segments that have been redone many times over the years (including ones where every version has been released on video), it would have been cool if Sesame Workshop had fans vote online for what versions of certain songs...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For a while, I had been wondering if the original (aired) version of the "Imagination" song from Sesame Street actually ends with that sequence where balloons fall all over Sesame Street or if that was just part of Bedtime Stories and Songs. I'm not sure if any of us (besides Scarecroe) has a...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    And now there's a guide for episode 2098, which has Bob giving Snuffy music lessons and Big Bird being fed up with him spending time with the others and wishing they'd never met him. I guess the post I saw long ago was conflating the two (actually, I vaguely recalled reading about Bob giving...

    The "You know what?" thread

    A long time ago, shortly after the release of The Best of Sesame Street Spoofs!, one fan started a thread wondering if Sesame Workshop was intentionally keeping Mysterious Theater segments from being available to fans, in part because none were on that DVD sets (I've been debating over whether...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Yesterday a guide for episode 2097, the first one after the cast saw Snuffy was revealed. I remember seeing a fan talk about that episode a long time ago on the forum, in fact in the early days of the wiki I started a page for the episode based on the post but later requested it be deleted...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    I had thought it'd be cool if this had a segment or two from the upcoming 50th season (like how I thought 40 Years of Sunny Days should have some season 40 segments... and it did!), but I realized that the Solange appearance was made for season 49 but hasn't aired yet. Assuming it will...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I have't posted in this thread for a bit of a while, but a few interesting episode pages have recently made their way to the wiki. There's episode 415, in which Snuffy brings a Snuffleupagus-sized trash can to the street and Oscar considers moving into it. It was later remade as episode 1911...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    And it seems like a lot of humanoid characters either have messy hair or their hair starts out combed/smooth but it gets messy as they move their heads (and I;m referring to short-haired characters here, like Guy Smiley).

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    I'm pretty sure that Scott hasn't been given copies of every episode not yet fully guided and pictured on the wiki (I saw him mention in one thread that he was expecting to get a certain episode later this year), but I wonder if he's been able to pick what episodes he gets or if he gets them at...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Lately, I keep having that grand music that plays in The Great Muppet Caper just before "Hey, a Movie!" in my head. The music/part between when the balloon crash lands and Gonzo saying "what a fantastic beginning!" I believe this music also plays in The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years when...

    Caroll Spinney: The Farewell Tour

    I wonder if she meant people who run/write articles for the website (I believe that Joe started working for Sesame Workshop before her retirement), or members of the forum (I signed up a long time ago, but while I've been able to post on other Delphi forums, it never let me log in to the...

    Little things we've noticed

    Looking at Muppet Wiki's "what links here" for a number of images, it seems like when a character does a new version of their signature song, the old version doesn't really air again. I'm mainly referring to when it's just the original character doing a new rendition, not if a celebrity does...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    Speaking of the last episode of season 6 being repeated street scenes, lately I have been wondering if maybe the season finales should have been basically "highlight reels" for the season. Not an obvious retrospective (the street story/scenes would be new and more or less like an average street...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    Yes, I was being sarcastic (and playing along with a few posts). I had thought about taking the joke further and saying that elves would give fans the option of either all episodes but 847 or they would only get that one and their memories of all other episodes they've seen would be erased...
