    Sesame Street Old School DVD's: Not For Kids

    Big Bird an "acid casualty?" Gordon a potential sex offender? 1969 Sesame Street bad because iPods hadn't been invented and the 123 building needed renovation? :boo: That guy has one heckuva sick sense of humor; no TV show is perfect, but to blame his own jaded and cynical outlook on a show...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I apologize for not having a copy of Episode 1091; the collection of episodes I downloaded a few years ago was missing that one. :o

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Fear isn't the only negative reaction that some of the old clips can inspire: I was never frightened by the "lost kid/yo-yo master" or the "King Minus" clips when I was a girl, but I certainly felt sorry for the main characters. (No wonder poor ol' Minus subtracted himself out of existence at...

    Sesame Street Spectacular Show

    The unicorn classic was a cool choice; I love the way you can mix old and new material without making it clash. Bravo!

    why did the chicken cross the road?

    That clip aired sometime in the 80s...I thought the duck's missing the point was pretty funny. :D

    ExcUse me, bUt yoU left one vowel oUt by mistake when yoU picked clips to go between the scenes. Otherwise, this is pretty decent work... :)

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Count me in for that link, please... Never having seen the "Learning About Letters" DVD, I'm basing my opinion on your description: It does seem odd that an alphabet-teaching collection would exclude some letters, show multiple skits for another letter, and put one letter clip out of order at...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 38

    Awww! There is hope for Sesame Street, if this generation of children still considers Grover huggable...:flirt:

    Custom DVDs from Sesame Workshop: can anyone confirm?

    That's exactly the sketch my friend is looking for, so I wrote to Sesame Workshop hoping that they could set me straight about that claim. If it's true, then there just might be a way to get hold of the Song of One sketch legitimately without waiting for a commercial re-release.

    Custom DVDs from Sesame Workshop: can anyone confirm?

    A month or two ago, I dimly recall reading that Sesame Workshop is willing to do customized DVDs with up to ten video clips (at $5 per clip). They don't advertise this offer on their website, but someone on the inside mentioned that it's been done. Could the qualified folks out there confirm...

    Question about David's departure:

    No problem; I'm always willing to help a fellow fan whenever I'm able. :)

    Old sesame street clips

    Awww, thank you... :) I doubt you'll ever see any first-season episodes between #1 and #8, though, unless you know someone with access to the master tapes at the old CTW archives. Noggin released only a few hundred old episodes (total) as part of Sesame Street Unpaved, and typically edited...

    What puppeteers go through.

    I bet Caroll Spinney and Matt Vogel both pray that fan doesn't malfunction when there are human actors nearby... :concern:

    Question about David's departure:

    David's death wasn't mentioned on Sesame Street because the character never died; Northern Calloway was written off the show several months before he actually died of cancer. No cover-up was involved, just a matter of timing...

    Old sesame street clips

    Thankfully, I've been able to collect some movie files of some Sesame Street Unpaved episodes (many of them never made it to DVD). I currently have about 30 files in my collection, and am working out a trade for more--keep your fingers crossed!

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Funny thing is, that clip (complete with the angry repetition of "14") wasn't originally made for Sesame Street; it was made for an unrelated kids' show in Sweden, the one that CTW eventually got the "Swedish number animations" from. The untranslated version sounds just as disconcerting to me...

    Happy Birthday to Sesame Street!

    I put up a couple of birthday-related clips on YouTube (more'll be coming) and watched Old School Volume 2 today. I'm also trying to work out some episode trades with a few online buddies, so the fan club site will have more to share... As long as there's TV in some form, I pray that Sesame...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 2

    Oh heck yeah; Sony Wonder at least let people skip the ads in Volume 1. I cursed when I couldn't get past them in Volume 2...having corporate sponsors on their TV program is bad enough, but spending five unavoidable minutes on DVD ads makes Sesame Workshop look as if all they care about is...
