This looks to be a rerun from a Season 16 - 19 episode, given the way the "NEWS FLASH" logo zooms in, as was common with reruns of older Sesame Street News segments during those seasons (i.e. segments from the 1970s and early 1980s).

This has been officially uploaded; probably my favorite instance of Jerry Nelson doing a female voice... I also like the Kevin Clash-voiced bunny that says "Hi, lady!" and "Bye, lady!"

I still think that "Fairytale Update" with Rapunzel from the early 90s was originally written in the late 80s as a Sesame Street News segment with Kermit the Frog. But Jim Henson's death led to the script being shelved. But then they dusted it off in Season 24 and re-wrote it without Kermit as a...

It was kind of intense, along with the kid falling with his piano (of course since he was a Muppet, he probably only got minor injuries), but it did teach me to recognize the word "DANGER" as a young kid, to the point where even at age four I could read and recognize "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" signs...

Heh, it's funny seeing and hearing the Count use one of the Amazing Mumford's magic spells and saying "Ala peanut butter sandwiches!" I wonder if there's an episode where Biff says it? It's also a rare instance when the Count's storm cloud produces rain! His thunder spell probably made the...

Now how did this slip past my radar, especially since I'm subscribed to this guy? (He's just my age and we're both on the spectrum!) The English song heard here does seem less creepy than what was heard in the Arabic dub, sounding more like a hoedown number here. The hen's animation is a tad...

Recently gave the classic "Toys Gone Wild" an HD remaster...

I will admit that Indian tapestry background the "12" floats around on at the end looks really nice, even if that bit does go on for some time. Yeah, I wasn't expecting THAT much from this segment, not like Episode 847 or something. I figured it wouldn't be super-scary or something, but I...

Yeah, like I said, it goes on for much too long and is pretty slow-paced. I'm betting THAT'S why they eventually stopped airing it in the early 80s.

Here it is! Geez, does it go on for quite a while. It's nearly three minutes long. No wonder many found it so unsettling!

This has finally been uploaded! Geez, it does go on for quite a while... nearly three minutes long! I can see why many found it unsettling.

That's too bad. I read about his story in the "Street Gang" book, and how his little daughter was fascinated by television and he wondered if it could be used to teach preschool-aged children.

On a similar note, HBO Max just removed all the "Looney Tunes" cartoon shorts from 1951 to 2004. And that included a lot of their best titles! Of course, David Zaslav is to blame once again, in another one of his signature controversial moves, and I bring that up in this vlog where I also...

Oh, man! It's bad enough that Emilio Delgado (Luis) dies this spring, but now Bob McGrath too? R.I.P. to two prominent male "Sesame Street" figures from my childhood... :cry:

Re-uploaded this timely Sesame Street News segment for the holiday season...

I think they still have that policy with no kids under 12 being allowed on the floats due to the COVID thing. So, no kid dancers. And of course, when announcing the "Sesame Street" float, they kick it off with the instrumental track based on the Season 40-45 arrangements of the opening theme...

Ahhhh, HERE comes the Sesame Street float on NBC! It came in kind of late this year; then again things were already a little different this year, with them doing the "Let's Have a Parade" countdown right before the Tom Turkey float crosses the Macy's stage. Of course, I loved seeing Julia on...

First, I started watching the parade on CBS, where they give better coverage of the floats and balloons, compared to NBC virtually ignoring those in favor of the Radio City Rockettes and all the Broadway musical numbers. I also saw a brief glimpse of the Sesame Street float on CBS's coverage...

I enjoyed seeing Uncle Traveling Matt's little segment in the parade! Did anyone catch that, too?

50 years ago today, the very first Sesame Street News segment premiered on episode 409 (the "Rapunzel" one). So here's a revised compilation I put together on how the Sesame Street News logo has changed over the years, including some rare variations (what with over 70 of these fast-breaking news...
