I assume you mean the one with the V getting drawn with draftsman's equipment, then cut from purple construction paper. If you do, then that clip is at least a year old: I've spotted it in some Season 38 shows.

That deserves to be a DVD set in its own right, like the trip weeks...possibly cut down to street scenes and the "Worms in Space" letter/number bits.

That might work with the first two or three seasons, since those DID repeat inserts a lot...but during the later years, I'd say that inserts and street scenes were becoming equally important. Whichever organization these "top 10" discs used--straight-through play or turning the inserts into...

A lot of fans have wished that entire seasons of Sesame Street's "classic" years were available on DVD. Of course, the length of an older season (130 episodes!) makes that impractical with today's costs and technology. The complete-season boxed sets that I've seen for commercial TV shows (like...

If nothing else convinces Sesame Workshop to release more classic material on DVD, this should... [Kermit voice]YAAAAY![/Kermit voice]

Absolutely! I may have grown up in the Volume 1/Volume 2 years, but fans who saw Big Bird cry over Mr. Hooper when they were in kindergarten deserve to have their own "real" Old School collection. The only trouble is, what would it take for Sesame Workshop to set aside the money and time for a...

Been looking for this alphabet song One letter segment that I'll never get out of my head is the "Alphabet Polka" song; at least two versions have been performed as part of a street scene. Both begin with these lines-- A and B and C and D E and F and how 'bout G? Hey! Do the Alphabet Polka...

Elmo's mother was named Gladys in the "Birthdays" episode of EW, but I don't know whether to accept that as Sesame Street canon; that scene of Elmo's parents waiting for the baby in the hospital was Dorothy's imagination, after all.

Sad, but true: the best we could hope for now is a remake of the "Ladybugs' Picnic" sketch in a different style and medium (not more cheesy sand/paper cutout CGI, heaven forbid)! I was glad to see a brief reference in the bug-shelter scene, too--although it would've been even better to have a...

Of those three choices, I most prefer the "Cookie Monster" idea: he's existed in some form since Episode 1, he's still appearing in new sketches/stories, and he's probably the most recognized "old school" Muppet worldwide. The "Abby/Big Bird with a kid" image would be my second choice; it...

If (heaven forbid) that happens in my lifetime, some fan ought to do a tribute special: "We're Sure Gonna Miss You, Sesame Street!" :wisdom:

Kermit's best throwaway line: "Anybody got a letter Q?" (spoken to the camera after a whole interview full of P-words). :)

Elmo has become less likable and less of a "team player" than he was in the 80s/early 90s. Still, I can hardly blame the character (or Kevin Clash) for that trend; the writers and producers are just adapting to Elmo as a superstar with his own regular show-in-a-show. On the other hand, I...

Thank you so much; here's a BIG HUG for your trouble...:flirt:

*nods sadly* If Sesame Workshop didn't have to worry so much about merchandising tie-ins to stay out of debt, maybe the producers wouldn't feel compelled to push the popular characters and neglect the others.

You're not the only one who thought Harvey's wild hair, rolling eyes, and shrill laugh were scary. I thought he looked downright psychotic, as if the jokes he'd play off-camera were more sinister than cute. :eek:

Cookie Monster has tried to eat Kermit, Guy Smiley, and a few other Muppets way back in the early years; he's even tried to eat a Muppetized letter O this season. :insatiable: So having someone like Animal run loose on the Street, with Kermit desperately trying to keep one hop ahead on his...

Importing kidvid characters into a show for older audiences can work if it's done right; but importing PG-rated characters into a show for preschoolers is much harder to do. (When a gritty cop-show celebrity appears on Sesame Street, he doesn't talk about solving murder cases; some of the...

That would affect the Muppet Show more than it would Sesame Street, of course; even before the breakup, only one character (Kermit) appeared regularly on both shows. I do think it's sad that Kermit's relegated to the same 3-4 old clips now; maybe if they were allowed to share the frog as freely...

By mentioning that the "walk/don't walk" lessons from Sesame Street's earlier years were out of date (because signals with words are rarer than they used to be). Sorry about the thread-hijacking...
