Interestingly, when I first learned info on episodes 2-5, that was the one that I most wanted to see for its plot. It was high on my wishlist of street stories. I've been thinking about posting a list in the "top ten anything" thread on episodes I learned about from the "trusted sources" (not...

Thinking more about Jim Henson's last Sesame Street segments... The heavy and light game is one of the only times when Ernie initiates a game and Bert is actually excited about playing one of Ernie's games at the start. Nobody really knew that Jim Henson wouldn't have much time left (though...

Top ten official Sesame Street 50th anniversary “collection” videos I’d like to see on YouTube: 10. A “People in Your Neighborhood” collection, perhaps showing an hour or more of various different segments 9. A collection of segments produced but never aired on the show 8. A collection...

I just found a plot description for Awesome Alphabet Collection, it sounds like it will contain new linking footage. Though technically it doesn't say if there'll be clips from the show or if all the segments are created for the DVD, but there will be focus on each letter.

At first when I saw that color image I thought somebody just computer colorized the existing black and white photo which is similar (which I don't think Muppet Wiki would allow if it was altered).

Thinking more about how Elmo had a name and personality in street scenes during those early years but was treated more like a generic monster in inserts, it seems like the same could be said about Maurice Monster. There's a handful of episodes where a Maurice Monster is involved in the plot...

Not only am I happy, but I am happy that they uploaded a Miami Mice segment period, when Sesame Workshop previously hasn't officially uploaded any of them online before or put any on DVD (it's unfortunate Miami Mice was mentioned in press releases for the Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! DVDs when...

Yeah, those were presented in fullframe instead of widescreen (it is interesting that they continue to release the fullframe versions). If they're hesitant about releasing things where some is presented in widescreen and some in fullframe, it'd be great if they could at least put more fullframe...

After learning so many first appearances via Muppet Wiki's "trusted sources", I wondered if the years would be that valuable, but there are a few where I didn't know the date. That Miami Mice was listed with 1986 (I know the one with Kermit was taped during the 1985-1986 season, not sure if they...

Famous or famous-ish people I have met: Bill Byrge, who played Bobby in the Ernest movies, actually came to my class when I was in the fifth grade. I had actually seen most of the movies he was in but didn't really remember his character (during that meeting, I was mistakenly under the...

Disney often puts out various "through the years" things showing the many different forms of Mickey Mouse. But often, when the original Mickey Mouse is shown, he's depicted as wearing the steamboat worker hat from Steamboat Willie, even though that was only in one short and the original...

Top ten scenes/lines from Space Jam: 10. Bugs thinking he's easily tricked the Nerdlucks only to get a big surprise. 9. Spit shine! 8. Michael Jordan being sent down the golf hole, Stan points his camera at Bill Murray who tells him "don't point that camera at me!" 7. Swackhammer deciding to...

He has said that Twitter ended up being a lot more time consuming that he expected, and I believe he said that he couldn't respond to everyone. I have asked him a few questions on Twitter. He hasn't responded to any that I posted, but has replied to/liked a few of my comments to tweets sent...

Thinking a bit about the Bert and Ernie sketches that were produced in season 21, it's fitting that one of Frank Oz's last performances as Bert alongside Ernie is one where Bert is genre-savvy enough to be aware that as soon as he wants to play the game that Ernie will be ready to end, while...

If you're referring to the episodes being donated to the American Archives of Public Broadcasting (and I might have gotten the thing wrong - the thing with locations in Boston and Washington, DC), they're not being remastered, just digitized (I thought all episodes were digitized long ago - at...

Didn't realize those are just clip montages. I knew the timeline one was, and the celebrity spoof segments, the others I either hadn't watched or just skipped around a bit to see what's included (without realizing they're not full clips).

ssetta can just make a lot of appointments.

Lately Sesame Street has been doing montages/collections to celebrate the 50th anniversary. Sesame Workshop has released a number of these kinds of "collections" online before, but I wonder how likely Sesame Workshop would be to include clips in these kinds of collections the the company hasn't...

The next release is Awesome Alphabet Collection on May 7. Muppet Wiki doesn't have any info on content yet, but the cover features Elmo and Abby Cadabby. I really hope this one has a wide range of alphabet-related segments from the shows 50-year-history, but the last several alphabet-themed...

Hmm, any idea if that wiki considers anything "lost" if the only way to see it is at Paley Center for Media or another museum that screens content to the public (maybe even content that this archive already has)? The Jim Henson Legacy sometimes includes clips from Out to Lunch at screenings, I...
