    Little things we've noticed

    I was looking at the "what links here" feature on some photos at the Muppet Wiki, which can show all wiki pages that include pictures from certain Sesame Street segments. Since there's pages for every episode since season 20, with only a handful of post-season 20 pages with incomplete...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    Okay I've looked at some fairly recent uploads of clips from the 1970s and 1980s, and have noticed a bit of fuzziness in movement. I've noticed it the most in their most recently-uploaded classic clip ("Bert wants to play a game"), with a little fuzziness at parts of the screen where movement...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    Come to think of it, I have noticed some clips look a lot better on DVD than Sesame Workshop's official uploads. And there are cases where I feel certain clips look worse on DVD then when Sesame Workshop uploaded them (the only one I can think of right now is the first two releases of Kermit...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In Back to the Future Part III, when Doc accidentally brings up Marty's future car accident, which had not yet happened to Marty, Marty asks what accident and Doc decides not to say on grounds that he shouldn't know too much about his own future, Marty asks "what is wrong with my future?"...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    The original post did only say "digitize" but nothing of restoring or remastering. Hmm, I wonder how often Sesame Workshop restores/remasters footage, or if there really is a need. Whenever something old is released on DVD/digital or whenever Sesame Workshop uploads an old clip online, the...

    Little things we've noticed

    Thinking about the Old School DVDs and Sesame Street Classics on iTunes, it seems like Sesame Street Classics has a more random selection of episodes. Of course it helps that the Old School volumes all stick to the format of season premiers (and quite a few of them do seem like notable episodes...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    I noticed that, also noticed that a few of those other episodes already had pages, taken from incomplete copies (so we were soooooo close to early Elmo....). I don't think Sesame Street Canada removed things for being too American (can't really think of many Sesame Street segments about...

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    I thought they already digitized every episode a long time ago.

    Did Milo counting go up to 20?

    I also know that some episodes from seasons 29-32 or so had PBS reruns that replaced certain segments, with some segments only airing as part of the rerun versions and never in a true original version of an episode.

    Did Milo counting go up to 20?

    Looking at the Milo Counting page on Muppet Wiki, after every episode past season 20 has a page and most of those episodes have complete guides, I see that there was never a higher number than 13. I'm also surprised to see that there was no 10 segment, when all other numbers between 7 and 13 got...

    Steve Whitmire 2018 Convention Appearances

    Today I went to see Steve Whitmire at Louisville Supercon, that was fun. I believe it's the first time I've been to a convention. Not to mention the first time I met somebody who has officially worked for the Muppet, got a picture taken with them, and got their autograph. When I arrived, he...

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    Last night I posted a wishlist of potential "All Time Favorites" albums, and now I see that the albums have already been released and their contents on the wiki. So they're "All-Time Favorites 1" and "All-Time Favorites 2", and it seems like they're primarily re-organized versions of Platinum...

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    I saw a press release that mentioned "All Time Favorites", not sure if that's intended as a line of releases like the recent "letters" line or just a stand-alone release, but I have been thinking about it, as if it were a series of character spotlight releases. I know some of the recent "letters...

    Emmet Otter Soundtrack Coming 11/2/2018

    So I hadn't really listened to the song much until recently, but now that I'm listening to "Born in a Trunk" so much now, I now realize that it's about the trunk of a tree that was chopped to make a stage. All this time, I assumed the trunk in the song was the kind of trunk used for...

    Which Sesame Street storyline should come to DVD/Blu-ray?

    Just last night, I thought of something that would make for a great 50th anniversary set, though it'd probably appeal to the hardcore fans a lot more than casual audiences (if that matters): A disc or set containing 50 inserts or street scenes that haven't been seen in years. Meaning ones that...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but after seeing the "first appearance" of many early Elmo segments being episodes from season 12 or later, even if they're known to have been taped during season 11, I must wonder, was "We're All Monsters" the only Elmo insert that was broadcast...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    A few interesting things I recently found in Muppet Wiki's guides based on the trusted sources: Jim Henson's E claymation actually aired after season one, I think it was in episode 163. The first season show content had "DUMP" by that segment, I thought all those "DUMP" notes happened during the...

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like whenever Bruno makes a live appearance or appears on location, he's on rollerskates. Makes me wonder if he ever rollerskated in a scene on the regular street set.

    Little things we've noticed

    I wonder how likely Disney is at this time to want to ask Whitmire to participate in something for the Muppets (though I don't doubt he'd take the opportunity).

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    Last month they started Sesame Street Catalog and put out some new compilations (with no previously-unreleased tracks), I wonder if they're just re-naming that or if this is a completely different thing (the press release does mention those albums that were just recently released). One thing...
