    Defunctland TV is dedicating the entire month of April 2019 to Jim Henson

    I've seen people at Toughpigs point out how odd it is that this series seems to be rushing through events from Sam and Friends to Sesame Street. Make me curious how the rest will turn out. Will it mostly be one show per part? I could see part 2 being primarily Sesame Street, part 3 primarily...

    Huh, I've been thinking his go-to voice was often his Sam the Eagle voice.

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Others have answered, but I am surprised that they hadn't uploaded it sooner. Of course I'm also surprised it hasn't been released on home video by now (usually if they release an example of Grover doing near and far it's always the "Over, Under, Around, and Through" song). And I checked on...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    It seems like Sesame Workshop has stopped posting special anniversary videos for now, but today they posted the classic near and far, and I feel it would have been better if it was a mash-up or (even better) collection of all the "near and far with Grover" bits (but it's just the usual season 6...

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

    I think I've wondered outloud previously about episodes where reruns were edited differently, if they'd include both the original broadcast edits and rerun edits (if they could only do one then I'd prefer the original broadcast version), but now I'm thinking it would be great if they could...

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

    They said that they would be donating episodes, but wouldn't it also be great if they donated digital compilations of all their segments, both broadcast and unbroadcast? I think I've read that they have digitized tape compilations of multiple inserts outside of the episode master...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I know. I was listing a few things that took a long time before anyone uploaded in addition to some that, as far as I know, aren't online, that I thought plenty of members here had copies of.

    Disney+ docuseries to show a behind the scenes of the Muppet movie for the 40th anniversary

    Hopefully season two would include some of the other movies (or could there be more first season episodes planned than what movies have been confirmed?).

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I didn't think the original edit of Sesame Street, Special was particularly rare (I actually used to have two copies taped off PBS in 1988). I thought it just hadn't been uploaded online in full. After all, the special has been released on video (not many Sesame Street things on video have...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    It is a fan-made poll (a collaboration between Toughpigs and The Muppet Mindset),so I don't think the results would really result in too much. Then again, one of them does work for Sesame Workshop, I don't doubt he'd consider showing the big results to the right person. I've seen that you can...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    Just to outdo the quiz, I decided to make a YouTube video of myself naming as many Muppets as I could think of in under five minutes, going by the basic rules of the quiz (mainly "Disney-owned Muppets") but otherwise having no limit. I did start feeling stuck/forgetful towards the last few...

    The Muppet Mindset

    The Muppet Mindset and Tough Pigs have teamed up to do a fan poll for Sesame Street's 50th anniversary. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2019/04/08/somebody-come-and-poll/

    Little things we've noticed

    For years, I was thinking that once the celebrity versions of Put Down the Duckie and Monster in the Mirror were introduced that they stopped showing the original versions without celebrities. But looking at "what links here" on the Muppet Wiki, I see that the non-celebrity version of Put Down...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    I got Ma Bear when trying to type Mahna Mahna.

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    I think the hints get dropped in the same order (I'll have to click and just keep track of the hints) regardless. Two answers are Foo-Foo and Foozie. Whenever I try to type Foozie, it suddenly accepts "Foo-Foo", even though I never actually thought to list Foo-Foo in the quiz (I was surprised...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    Hints occur after they've been given, like "don't forget the electric mayhem" (when all six members are among the first 10-14 I list). Reminds me of a time I made my own game, similar to Outburst, where I list things and people had to guess. I remember making a "name Muppets"-type card, I...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    It is rather awkward. I played the quiz on my phone a few times. Auto-correct kept making incorrect changes on some of the names I listed, yet I saw "spelling error red lines" under things that should have easily been corrected (like when typing Uncle Deadly as "Uncle Deadley", a spelling I keep...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    I just found out yesterday that the next episode, 1554, is a continuation, with Oscar having to cooperate with Luis in order to have the cast leave the can after a night there. I never thought they'd actually show them leaving, I figured it'd just be a given that they would leave, unseen. I...

    Little things we've noticed

    For a while I've noticed that Sesame Workshop doesn't seem to release much on video or online when it comes to Jim Henson's segments from season 21, but I'm starting to think that when it comes to seasons 20-24, not many from each recurring Muppet segment is available on home video or...

    April Fools: Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments coming to DVD in August

    One thing I considered listing as a bonus feature was uncensored outtakes. Among them, in possibly "too far territory", I would have mentioned video footage of a stage light crashing on the set and a spark setting Big Bird's leg on fire (an often-told story, until planning this I never thought...
