Well, I saw according to the Muppet Wiki that on DVD, the "Public Transporation" segment of "Elmo's World" had the Peanuts theme replaced during Dorothy's fantasy of Elmo flying a plane, AND the "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" theme replaced during the fantasy of Elmo driving the train. Unfortunately...

Though now I'm not entirely sure if that is true. The episode that aired after it, Episode 0848, does have the "Cracks" segment, so I don't know if they'd show the same cartoon segment two episodes in a row. But maybe it's gone one of those really freaky cartoons by Etienne Delessert, like the...

You know, the way "Sesame Street" has changed a lot with the reduced length reminds me of when something similar happened to "Big Bag," another CTW-produced show that aired on Cartoon Network in the 90s (for those who don't remember.) The first season in 1996 had 13 hour-length episodes, each...

Since many of them are being found online lately, I thought I'd bring them up. One artist/animator that has contributed some really strange/bizarre/creepy "Sesame Street" cartoons would have to be Swiss illustrator Etienne Delessert, in 1973-1974. Generally, these cartoons only run for 30...

That's sad! I remember he also did the "Chariots of Fur" theme, the "Mysterious Theater" and "Caveperson Days" theme, and others. I also enjoyed the "Peligro" song. He and Danny Epstein also did the music for the "Sesame Street Start-to-Read" videos produced by Random House Home Video.

Nope; they didn't play ANY Sesame Street theme this year. They did seem to change a bit more music in it as well; the parade theme music went back to being the theme to "New York, New York", but instead of the marching band rendition, it sounded more similar to the Frank Sinatra version but...

The float has just come on, and they performed their song with QuestLove! The only Muppet who got any solos was Elmo, though, and the only human cast member of the show I recognized on the float was Alan... Man, am I the only one who was watching this year?

When they announced the lineup, they mentioned "The Cast and Muppets of Sesame Street!" FINALLY they do it the right way, instead of the old confusing ways they'd announce them. But other than that, they almost ignored the floats and balloons, saving them as an afterthought of sorts. They just...

The other "male" face morph cartoon has been uploaded! REALLY surreal...

I noticed one of the poll options saying when the show dropped from 130 episodes a season to 26. I will say that with Season 30, they dropped it to 65 episodes a season because of how introducing "Elmo's World" changed the tooling of the show enough that older episodes from prior seasons could...

It looks like ever since the 2011 Muppets film, Uncle Deadly has become one of the semi-main characters now! Hopefully if Disney makes new Muppet plushies soon, they'll make one of Uncle Deadly too!

The Sesame Street News segment with Kermit and the Five Little Pigs is back on YouTube! However, it's got the copyright-bypassing video-stabilization effect (the copy of Episode 0812 it was taken from already had it), but it's still good to see it again, with Jerry Nelson trying to hide the fact...

I don't want it to really go off-topic, but these changes seem to invoke a certain song...

Another good case is Warner Bros.'s "Wabbit: a Looney Tunes Production" and "Be Cool Scooby-Doo" going to air on Boomerang, instead of regular Cartoon Network. Only a small percentage of people in America get Boomerang, so this means the shows may wind up getting low ratings.

They could make them into spinoffs or something. Make "Elmo the Musical" into a separate half-hour show or something. But it is indeed the end of an era...

Great news: Tiny Dancer has uploaded the elusive "face morph" cartoon! I can see how it freaked out quite a few people; this was obviously made before loud synthesizer sounds like those became common in the household with early video game consoles. (I immediately thought "Nintendo" when I...

Uh, I thought the Pokemon Center became "Nintendo World" in 2006, selling both Mario and Pokemon merchandise and other stuff as well. It was like that when I last went there in December 2006.

No there wasn't, from what I saw. Besides, the NBC coverage doesn't seem to care about the balloons much anymore. When announcing the parade lineup at the start, they completely ignored the balloons as if they weren't there! I guess it's a tradition that is going to die soon...

That was Rosita! It's been a while since she had a solo in the parade, I think. And Count, yes I have an internal mental clock when it comes to this parade, too. And of course, ol' Oscar didn't want to sing with them.

That was unusual: when they started the parade, they did NOT play the signature theme to "New York, New York" like they have for previous years. Instead they got a new theme song. What was up with that? Just mainly tuning into it now to see the Sesame float. When they announced it, it said on...
