I'm pretty sure it was Matt Vogel doing the bird in that one. At least, that's how Big Bird is credited in imdb.com for Sesame 4-D.

Hey Secret Squirrel - Thanks for your reply - And this is why I have such respect for Jerry Nelson, Carroll Spinney - the fact that these two artists can keep their hands over their heads for so long - I can't even do it when i try the same movements at home for the same duration of the...

123 Sesame Street episodes are simply re-runs of regular Sesame Street episodes from PBS from 5 years ago. Right now, 123 Sesame covers the 2000-2001 season, when the show's format was different - the street scenes were longer and ran through the entire show. Also, there were more classic...

I'm sorry. I meant to say that the Grover/Lena Horne song "How Do You Do?" is on Celebration of Me, Grover DVD.

By the way, if you wanna own these two Grover sketches, the Grover/Lena Horne song is on "Learning About Letters" and the Grover/Madeline Kahn song is on "Sing Along" Both are excellent.

Yes, Mike. I was alive during the 1970's and 1980's when there were episodes were Susan would DRIVE her car into the garage. Why, you don't believe me?

This skit can be found on the DVD "Sesame Street Karaoke" It's towards the end of the program.

Any Muppeteers out there? Here are a couple questions that struck me while watching TMS: S1: 1) What kind of endurance levels does one have to keep their hands above their heads for such large amounts of time? I recently was watching the Grover skit from 1970 where he sings "Over...

You know what my favorite part is on the entire box set? The end credits of MUPPET SHOW: SEX AND VIOLENCE. The camera zooms out and you can see the Muppeteers performing the puppets!!!!! I've never seen footage of Fran Brill, Richard Hunt, and Jerry Nelson behind the scenes...

Seems like an odd marriage of two franchises.

Where were you when you heard Jim Henson died? I think it's akin to hearing that Reagan was shot or the Challenger blowing up. I was a sophomore at Cornell when my mom casually told over the phone, and man was I floored. The single most influential man of my generation - for me- was...

Bill Cosby called it a "carriage house" on the 20th anniversary special, but it was a garage. I believe Susan kept her VW bug in there once, but now she keeps it to the right of Big Bird's house.

Grover falls over backwards a lot too. Even to this day, they have him ending with a faint. What's with Frank Oz's characters fainting?

Judging by Ernie and Bert's appearance, this skit was made in either 1971 or 1972.

Maria was introduced on the 1971 premiere, talking with Big Bird about the letter "M".

Nope. That version, with the Baby Seal voiced by Joe Raposo, never made it to the show.

Getting Ready for School has a 1970 Cookie Monster sketch where he learns how to read the word "SCHOOL" as well as an 80's EXIT cartoon. Big Bird Gets Lost has NO sketches. It's just Big Bird and Maria from the late 80's early 90's. If you want classic sketches, I highly, highly, highly...

Those were clearly from 1969.

I read about Sonia Manzano saying that she found Oscar's "Skinny" moniker flattering, in some magazine article. And the whole skinny thing COULD be viewed as unpleasant, with these Lindsay Lohan/Calista Flockhart/Lara Flynn Boyle anorexic looks, but of course Sonia never got THAT skinny!

And don't forget when THE ELECTRIC COMPANY cast crossed over to Sesame Street and vice versa. I remember a show from the mid 1970's where Easy Reader (Morgan Freeman) was talking to Gordon on the steps, Crank was talking with Oscar, and Pedro (Luis Avalos) was talking to Luis. And vice...
