I was reading Carroll Spinney's autobio the other day, and he mentioned that when he joined the Muppets in 1969, he really wasn't making enough to make ends meet, especially living in New York City. It was more for the love of the craft - the trade - rather than the money. And I agree. Who...

HarveyK: It's: "A loaf of bread, a CONTAINER of milk, and a stick of butter."

Hey Pug: You're in luck. The Sesame DVD: "ROCK AND ROLL!" with Count on the cover has the song "Telephone Rock" from the 1970's. It's not much, but it's a start.

I understand that you're very passionate about Sesame Street, Mike, but don't come into a thread and act like a moderator and rain on everyone's parade by asking: "who cares?" What, do you think that every thread has to meet your satisfaction? Gee whiz.... Now, back to your regularly...

Because this is an open forum? SHEESH!

Looking back at old SESAME STREET shows, what do you think is the most DATED skit or film shown on the show? My top three: 1) Bob singing "Good Morning Sunshine" back in season one in 1969 2) The Jazzy Spies numbers 3) Stevie Wonder sings "123, Sesame Street" back in 1973 What's...

I asked Carroll Spinney that question when he was signing my book and he told me that moved from Teletape Studios (the old converted movie theater on 81st and Broadway in Manhattan) to the Kaufman-Astoria studio in Queens in 1992 when the show went "around the corner." The changes in the...

There is an appearance by Batman, Robin, and the Joker from a 1970 episode. The premise is: The Joker is robbing a bank, with the Dynamic Duo in pursuit, and tries to escape...but winds up falling into a manhole. Reason? He didn't look both ways before crossing. If I have time I can...

I think all of the next generation Sesame Street Muppeteers have been doing a bang-up job as understudies for maestros Spinney, Oz, Henson, etc. So, my question is this: <b>Which Muppeteer does the best job as an understudy?</b> Is it: Matt Vogel as Big Bird? Steve Whitmire as...

Does anyone know where I can see or get a copy of the SESAME STREET movie trailer: "Don't forget to watch the movie?"

Hi: I'm interested in any PLAY WITH ME SESAME episodes (in very good quality) on VHS, but if you have them transferred onto DVD, even better! I have a personal collection of almost every SESAME STREET UNPAVED show from 1969 to 1989. I'd be willing to transfer them to a DVD for a trade...

Yeah Carroll Spinney can claim that Oscar is the same original green muppet. HOWEVER. If you watch the 1970-1971 2nd season episodes, you will notice that Oscar, while green, is much fluffier than he would be in later years. So there are three versions of Oscar (at least).....although...

No, I think he means AFTER those still photographs of the cast holding the signs. Remember that funky 1970's guitar riff they used to play over those end title cards: "SESAME STREET AND THE SESAME STREET SIGN ARE TRADEMARKS OF THE CHILDREN'S TELEVISION WORKSHOP." I'm sure that guy...

The trio that sang 1977's "Disco 'D'" was most likely: Richard Hunt, Christopher Cerf, and Jeffrey Moss.

If you want <b>CLASSIC SESAME STREET</b>, you can do no wrong by buying: <b>LEARNING ABOUT LETTERS</b> and <b>LEARNING ABOUT NUMBERS</b> on DVD. I've got a 2 year old daughter, so I don't feel bad about buying this in the first place, but man! It's a hidden treasure of OLD SESAME...

Yeah, well there is a late 70's or early 80's episode of UNPAVED where Big Bird's on a unicycle at the very very end. You gotta admit, Carroll is talented - riding a unicycle and roller skating with the bird puppet on?

The answer to your question is: No, they never sang the middle part "It's a magic carpet ride" during the opening theme. The lyrics have always been sung without the middle bridge since 1969. The only time you'll hear the middle part of the theme is the instrumental over the end credits...

I'm pretty sure the villain is not a Frank Oz voice, and in fact, I'd put good money on betting that the villain and the FBI agent's voices are one and the same.

Hey: Try and see if you can answer these hard Sesame Street trivia questions: 1) Who owns Barkley the dog? 2) What kind of subject did Bob teach before music? 3) What is Mr. Hooper's first name? 4) What is Susan and Gordon's last name? 5) What is Maria and Luis' last name...

If you can buy the great A & E Biography episode on Sesame Street from the A&E store, you can see Eric Jacobsen performing Bert in a behind-the-scenes footage of a skit with him, Ernie, and Telly.
