Actually, she did appear in the graduation episode, if memory serves.

You just gave me nightmares of a hip-hop version.

The fate of the show depends on the quality of the creative personnel that are in place when that day comes. The current team seems to me to be doing rather well.

I think it probably would be jarring to see Hooper's store run by a different person every day. Besides, the more recent shows make use of the most up-to-date research, so they would probably just rerun the shows after a certain point (now, for example, they use shows from season 34 on).

Okay, that was during the time I had outgrown the show, and my computer for some reason does not have sound (I think it happened when I replaced my hard drive) so was it a newfangled arrangement of the old theme, or did they have a different melody and lyrics?

Well, with only twenty-six episodes a year, they have trouble getting enough use out of the humans they have. Besides, didn't they just add Marco?

Don't forget, Sesame Street isn't just a show, it's a laboratory. As long as the research is current (and PBS doesn't run out of money) they should be able to continue for a long time. Besides, if the show were in danger of going away, we wouldn't be seeing all these ancillary materials...

$30 per average set *2 half-hours per hour (SS episodes are longer than sitcoms) /24 episodes (the norm for sitcom seasons of a certain vintage; earlier shows have more, later ones have fewer) *4134 episodes (as of the end of season 37) = a third of my gross annual salary. Besides, if...

I didn't mean Barbara Eden specifically, I meant hard-to-replace stars in general.

I guess that's why nobody's remade I Love Lucy yet.

True, but that was before the character's voice had solidified; they were performing in different octaves. Jacobson's Piggy voice is much closer to Oz's.

I was just curious, as that period of the show's history was between the time I outgrew the show and when I rediscovered it as an adult. I've been able to figure out from written descriptions and pictures where the other locations were, but that one I'm not 100% sure.

Part of the problem there is that southern cuisine was developed for people who got more exercise in the course of their daily lives than we today do trying. Abby almost seemed to be leaning that way. Maybe it was just the voice. If they want to prepare kids for school, I as a teacher think...

Maybe it's just me, but somehow I think the Elmo's World format just works better as a series of several fifteen-minute segments, each focused on an individual topic, than as a single ninety-minute movie. I mean, you'd have to find a topic that could sustain that length. Now a movie featuring...

Comnsidering Ernie's still around, I don't think we have anything to worry about there. I, myself, am cautiously optimistic about the movie. I won't succumb to hype (and thus set myself up for disappointment), but the fact that Zappa knows what the show is about gives me hope that it won't be...

I think I once read something to the effect that such doors were once used as a fence around construction zones.

That one makes good practical sense, actually. I, myself, have been wondering just what that tire swing that appears and disappears for the same reason is supposed to be hanging from. I recently noticed something else: In older episodes, and this season, the bottom of the stairs in the arbor...

And where exactly would that be?

Every week, sometimes twice a week. And yes.
