    Why did the Newsflash logo have to change?

    Sort of the same reason "Monsterpiece Theater" or "Super Grover" updated their logos. Plus, you remember the old Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies logos? When they had the classic "bullseye" intros, the colors could vary by release season. Maybe they sometimes varied the logo colors for the season...

    My Sesame Street YouTube Poops:

    OK, I'm not sure if this is the right sub-forum to post these in, but some of you may know (such as DrTooth) that I am a YouTube Poop-maker, and I have often used "Sesame Street" clips (both classic and contemporary) as a poop source. Here are the ones I made so far...

    New animated Grover PSA's

    I have to admit, Grover and his mom seem to present these PSAs better than the G.I. Joe team did! (Muppet connection: all G.I. Joe PSAs were by Marvel Productions, which also produced "Muppet Babies!")

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Silly Storytime DVD with Special Guest Reporter Kermit

    If I recall, the "Foot Snugglies" segment is from 1980 or 1981. I know that in most cases the 1974-1984 News Flash sketches used the enlarged version of the logo, and each had a differently-recorded Jerry Nelson announcement (as if every segment had a newly-recorded announcer at the beginning of...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Silly Storytime DVD with Special Guest Reporter Kermit

    Interesting selection. I am also kinda surprised they went with the late 1980s version of the "Rapunzel" News Flash, but then again, this is obviously aimed toward the little ones, unlike the "Sesame Street Old School: Volume 1" DVD release which features the original uncut version. Reusing...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    Looks like no Kermit the Frog appearance this year (outside of the float and balloon), at least on the NBC version. I'm kinda bummed out on that.

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    I only caught the last bit of the Sesame Street float, because my parents insist we have breakfast during that time :attitude: Looks like I didn't miss THAT much this year; Susan seemed absent from the float again. But it's good to see Bob still with the gang on the float. Anyone else...

    Muppets at Macy's Thanksgiving Parade

    Macy's Parade 2010 talkback Well, the parade has officially started with the countdown/cutting of the ribbon, followed by that stock marching band version of "New York, New York" as we are listed all celebrity appearances. It did say at one point "The Beloved Cast of Sesame Street, and the...

    What are you going to be for Halloween?

    OK, here's a pic of me as Fozzie Bear, with my brother as Kermit and his girlfriend as Miss Piggy: http://pics.livejournal.com/wile_e2005/pic/00090p66

    What are you going to be for Halloween?

    For my college's Halloween party, I was Big Bad Wolf Daddy! http://pics.livejournal.com/wile_e2005/pic/0008r5gy This was based off an episode of Disney's "House of Mouse," for those unfamiliar. For a Halloween party I attended tonight, I was Fozzie Bear! I may post a few pics soon.

    RIP Michael J. Smollin

    That is sad he passed away. He's now up with his partner Jon Stone in SesameWorkshop Heaven now. I also remember his illustrations from two semi-sequels to the "Monster at the End of this Book" classic; "Would You Like to Play Hide and Seek in This Book with Lovable, Furry Old Grover?" and...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 41

    Wow. My local PBS station was having a test of the Emergency Alert System right before the episode began. At least it wasn't one put out by the cable company (you know, the one with the black background, white scrolling letters and the badly-distorted announcement that interrupts all the...

    Mickey talking to guests at Disneyland

    According to what I heard, Disney's been experimenting with talking characters since the 1960s, but initially had practically no success, or it was very limited, like with certain occasions, such as the Walt Disney World 25th Anniversary in 1996, or the "Muppets on Location: Days of Swine and...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Not exactly classic, but here is the scene with Sherlock Hemlock and Jerry Nelson from Episode 4206: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vccx1QcO4LM I noticed Jerry Nelson's voice in this sounds kinda similar to Floyd Pepper! But then again, it usually does...

    "A tribute to Sherlock"

    As a kid, I mostly remember Sherlock Hemlock from "Mysterious Theater," particularly two sketches I distinctly remember watching, the "Circle Search" and "Missing Toast" ones (the latter was obviously due to the twist ending where Vincent Twice was the culprit, and was my favorite one as a...

    The Twiddlebugs' Smoke Detector

    Pretty irritating smoke detector sound. I thought real ones were much more higher-pitched? And usually they go BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEEP! or, if it's post-1996, they sound in Code-3, like many modern fire alarms do. I remember Hooper's store had a pretty realistic-sounding smoke detector (in...

    Sneak Peak: Sesame Street's Pinball Number Count remake

    It may not be the original animation, but at least they finally brought back the classic song! :D Usually I don't mind when they remake classic skits, such as Ernie's "Rubber Duckie" from 1998, or the new version of the "La-la-la" song that takes place in Ernie and Bert's apartment instead of...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    The Aspergers' episode was really good! Especially since I have it myself, I could relate to it. I, too, am surprised "Arthur" is still going on. It started when I was in third grade, and now I am graduating college and they are STILL making new episodes! Of course, I also love making...

    Any Closing Logos Fans?

    I remember that! It would always appear at least once when CN would have that "Looney Tunes Show" block on weekend mornings in 2001-2003. And usually this Looney Tunes logo would show up on a crappy non-Chuck Jones Road Runner cartoon, or the Speedy Gonzales vs. Daffy Duck shorts. Then there was...

    The "Upstairs, Downstairs" debate!

    "Upstairs, Downstairs" does look a bit older than "Me, Claudius", with a different chair that Cookie Monster is sitting on instead of the yellow one, and its much longer-than-usual length. But the main difference is that "Me Claudius" is quite different from the usual Monsterpiece Theater fare...
