    Carroll Spinney and Big Bird

    Carroll Spinney has an understudy. His name is Matt Vogel and he primarily does Big Bird during JTE. SOMETIMES also during the street scenes as well. He does a good job.

    Learning About Letters / Learning About Numbers

    My daughter was watching the previews of other Sesame Street DVD's section on her new Elmo's World DVD, and I didn't realize how good Learning About Letters and Learning About Numbers look! Learning About Letters' preview featured Ernie and Bert's "La La La" from 1971 and Learning about...

    Mr. Hooper's death

    Will Lee, who played Mr. Hooper, died in 1982. SESAME STREET didn't mention Mr. Hooper's death until Thanksgiving Day 1983 (probably b/c it was such a delicate issue and it takes so long for episodes to be make it to the air). Mr. Hooper left his store to David, who worked there until...

    Zoe's tutu

    The reason why Zoe wears a tutu (in my opinion) is to give her more of an identity. Otherwise, without it, she's just another female monster, like Lulu.

    Ladybugs and alligators cartoon

    I believe this cartoon was made around 1971. Sesame Street's cartoons were very psychedelic back then. God knows how the artists thought these ideas up.

    The Sesame Street 20th Anniversary Special

    Ahhhhh, "SESAME STREET: 20 YEARS AND COUNTING." Probably THE best of the anniversary shows. For those of you too young to have watched it in 1989, my condolences.

    The Sesame Street 20th Anniversary Special

    That's correct. The same thing happened when they flashed Cookie Monster, Grover, and Herry Monster. Of course Frank Oz couldn't be operating BOTH Cookie and Grover at the same time right? So that's why the caption showed: "And also starring David Rudman" because, I'm guessing, he was...

    Sesame Songs and Sketches on DVD

    Do the Alphabet has only 2 classic sketches: Dee Dee Dee from 1972 with Ernie and Cookie Monster and the 1971 J-Friends with Jim Henson, Jerry Nelson, Fran Brill, and Frank Oz as Anything Muppets. Everything else is new stuff.

    The Sesame Street 20th Anniversary Special

    Shalla mentioned that she was a student at U.Texas on the track team. Fanny was at the Wharton School of Business at U.Penn studying International Business. This, of course, was back in 1989, so things could have changed. And at the end, everyone sang "Sing." What was really cool...

    What bothered me about Season 35...

    But we never see Susan or Luis. Man, Luis ALWAYS gets the shaft! The two humans, not including Gabi and Miles, most regularly seen on SESAME STREET are: _______ and _________ (fill in blanks).

    Sesame Street Week

    I'll try to post pictures soon, but lemme just give a quick review of SESAME PLACE from having been there twice: SESAME PLACE IS fun, if you have a small child to take with you. Seriously, the park doesn't give a lot of things for people over the age of 10 to do. And if you don't have swim...

    Oscar's Softer side

    Two instances: 1) Back in the late 1970's, Oscar's trash can was either stolen or taken away accidentally by the sanitation dept. He was so distraught that Luis and Maria decided to take a newer garbage can and "dirty" it up just like Oscar's old one by banging dents into it and rolling...

    Sesame Street Week

    I will. One note: They do have an okay recreation of the TV show's set in the park, but I noticed they took down the Sesame Street sign off the lamppost. Perhaps some hooligans kicked it off or something.

    Sesame Street Week

    Actually, I wasn't aware that the exhibit had opened already. I went to the exhibit when it was at the San Jose Children's Museum last year. Now THAT was fun. Even had a re-creation of 123 Sesame Street and everything.

    Sesame Street Week

    Can't think of a more Sesame Street-themed week for us. On Sunday, we went to Pennsylvania to the one and only SESAME PLACE, which is a dream come true for any child under 5. Our daughter loved it. Especially ELMO'S WORLD LIVE! And now, this Saturday, we're going to see SESAME STREET...

    Jazzy Spies #9

    If any of you want to see the actual artwork used in the Jazzy Spies series, from #2 through #10, then buy THE SESAME STREET BOOK OF NUMBERS from Time-Life Books, copyright 1970. Very psychedelic. Ebay has it. It's looooooonnnng out of print.

    Sesame Street on ET: Identify the episode

    To answer your question, the animated letter sketch featured in "E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial" is the B is for bandit, boy, and baseball bat, narrated by Casey Kasem. This Sesame piece dates back to 1969. Also appearing in E.T. is the skit from the mid-seventies where Big Bird tries to count...
