    Does anybody think you're weird for watching Sesame Street?

    For what it's worth, the few non-Henson shows I watch regularly are animated satires like the ones other fans have brought up: King of the Hill, Futurama, and South Park to name a few. Give me intelligent humor any day, no matter what the "official" target audience is supposed to be like: I...

    The Giant Sesame Seed of Sesame Street

    Keep up the good work; this is one--one heck of a great fanscript so far! :batty: Ah-ah-ah! [SFX: cue thunder and lightning]

    Looking for SS Episode #1091: "The Gang Arrives in Hawaii" (1977)

    I have the Unpaved episode available as a movie file (either Windows Media or QuickTime--take your pick!). If you could convert an episode to some format I can play on this PC, I'd be very willing to make the trade.

    Your Thoughts: New Smilies

    Hmmm...Grover also seems appropriate for a :hug: smiley (which I'd love to see eventually); he does enjoy hugging other Muppets and kids! On a related note, are there any unused Muppets who'd be the best choice for :awww: or :cute: ?

    Does anybody think you're weird for watching Sesame Street?

    I'm lucky I live in a private room in this nursing home, so I can keep my doors closed and the volume down on my TV: nobody's said anything so far about my watching Sesame Street, but goodness knows WHAT they think of a 39-year-old with no kids doing it!

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Since most PBS stations aired Sesame Street during the school week originally, the special closing credits ran on Fridays (not Sundays). I grew up watching it in the early 70s, but kept watching on and off until the big format change in Season 28. And yes, Barkley hiding behind the tree...

    Lots of MUP3's, Wanna Trade?

    What's this I read.... ...about a Swedish Sesame Street album? Someone mentioned having it a few pages back in this thread; as a Swedish-speaking fan of the show, I'm tempted to make a trade myself. (All I can offer in return are movie files, though--both short clips and some full-length...

    Do you think of Sesame Street as a real street?

    Which means you're probably right about a "realistic" Sesame Street; 123 and both of the shops would probably get torn down first. Those buildings have defined the neighborhood on that show for years! It's a shame the big-name Hollywood studios have enough money to do a better job with the...

    Top 5 Retired Sesame Street Muppets

    My top 5 picks: 5. Guy Smiley. The newer Muppet game-show hosts don't hold a candle to him; relegating him to that "Double GetWordy" spot between PBS Kids shows is a terrible shame. 4. The Amazing Mumford. Yes, Abby Cadabby has taken over the "botched magic" street stories now; but I...

    Do you think of Sesame Street as a real street?

    As someone who's seen her own city's "downtown" constantly being rebuilt for upscale residents, I can understand that; if the Workshop writers decided to get that realistic, though, the TV show wouldn't last another week. Good point! I can imagine a smaller town having street areas like...

    Do you think of Sesame Street as a real street?

    Darn, you should've taken pictures of the street sign and posted a link...

    Do you think of Sesame Street as a real street?

    Sesame Street used to feel like a "real street with altered physics" when I watched the show as a girl. But the new design in so many places (Big Bird's nest area, for one) makes Sesame Street look more like the inside of a kindergarten classroom; and the way characters interact now does...

    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    If the comments on YouTube are reliable enough to prove anything, the disclaimers are a load of bull. I see a lot of fans leaving remarks like "My four-year-old likes the old episodes a lot better than what's on PBS today"; for all the kids who complain about Elmo's absence, there are at least...
