    The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    They used it in 2005, 2006 and 2007. And each time, they played the theme song to "What's New Scooby-Doo" underneath. Could this mean the original "Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?" theme could be NO MORE in the future? :cry: It's sort of akin to replacing the original Looney Tunes/Merrie...

    The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    The sad truth is, Macy's doesn't seem to care much about the balloons anymore, at least the NBC broadcast. When they announce the parade line-up, they just save the balloons for last (but before Santa, of course.)

    The 86th Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Muppet-wise, from what I heard, so far it's going to be the Sesame Street Float again, and the Kermit the Frog balloon. I don't know if they're going to have Kermit himself at the parade though. Even though during the opening (when they play that stock marching band rendition of "New York, New...

    Halloween is just around the corner

    I've already got a few plans up my sleeve! I'm going to attend a few Halloween parties this year, plus on Halloween night I'll just pass out candy while in costume, and watch various Halloween cartoons (like "Garfield's Halloween Adventure," or "Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School.") My costume is a...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    OK, long story short, I LOVED the street story that debunks the infamous "Veggie Monster" rumors. It seems this episode was written with the fans in mind, and all the others that believed those rumors.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    So far "Elmo the Musical" seems a bit more professionally-made...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Is it just me, or was Murray Monster practically shouting his lines for the Word on the Street? (which was "Nibble") The opening sequence is the same one we've been seeing since Season 40. Nothing has been changed on it. Cookie Monster's voice sounds different for some reason. Even my ear...

    Remembering Jerry Nelson (July 10, 1934-August 23, 2012)

    Hey, so did I! Checked the email on my MacBook, and made a similar reaction!

    Questions about the ending to Golden Book Video of "Wanted: The Great Cookie Thief"

    Sorry about the long reply... 1. He was running AWAY from the town, heading for another one. 2. The sun was supposed to be setting as it was apparently afternoon at the start of the story.

    "Wanted: the Great Cookie Thief" now an iOS app!

    Felt like sharing this here: This actually reminds me a lot of the 1985 Golden Book Video adaptation of the same book, complete with identical partial animation effects (except they actually have their lips move now, too) and even the same "Nobody knows the problem we have" song! I also...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yes, the Magic Mirror was indeed Jerry Nelson. I do kinda remember the mirror weirding me out a bit with his live-action human face. The "I Beam" never had a menacing voice in it, but it's likely it was added at one time.

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Ernie's great counting thing is slowly driving Bert crazy. At the end, Bert just finally snaps, he yells and runs to the table and bangs his head on it several times, then runs toward the camera screaming, then we can hear him run out and slam the door! I could see a reason why they'd cut that...

    A visual idea on "Bert's R Machine..."

    One of my favorite things on the Muppet Alphabet Album when I was a kid was the classic "Bert's R Machine" segment. Since it was never made into a sketch on the show, I made up what it would probably have looked like... (The scene opens in Ernie and Bert’s apartment living room. Bert has some...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Heh, I always thought that would often be cut because they were worried kids would imitate Bert there, because of how he banged his head on the table several times (ala Don Music!) before running into the camera and out the apartment!

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    (watches the sketch) Yow, that animation is pretty freaky! And that mutant rabbit wasn't even running after them, he was just WALKING! The fast rock/drum music is actually pretty cool, though! Except when it went silent when the mutant rabbit went by the trees.

    Why did the Newsflash logo have to change?

    What News Flash segment was it? It could have been an edit on SesameWorkshop's part. Also, with the thread bump, I did a montage of the News Flash logo through the years:

    The "Around the Corner" episodes

    You're right! I DO seem to recall it not having the closing credits for some weird reason, and I was like "Wait a minute, this is a Friday episode! Where's the credit crawl!" I actually seem to recall the Irvie's Blankie rerun was a Friday episode (I think I remember seeing the credits at the...

    Sesame Street Classic Episodes Vol. 2 now available for download on iTunes

    *does a spit take* Whoa, Episode 3174 has the Red Hot Riding Hood News Flash segment with the map and taxi? That's NEVER been available on the Internet before!!! And it's probably only a matter of time now until that segment shows up on YouTube. And speaking of Kermit's special reports, I...

    Kermit and Miss Piggy to present award at Oscars

    Huh, I've been looking online everywhere, and they're really secretive about who presents what Oscar. I know Kermit and Piggy should be doing one of the song ones, but I wonder who's doing the animation ones? I hope it won't be another snooze-fest like last year!
