    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    I've finished uploading all twenty-six of my complete Unpaved episodes to upfile.com, thanks to dude111. They're in .wmv format, so you'll need Windows Media Player or another compatible program to watch them. Here's what I've got available; I'd love more episodes in a PC-friendly format, if...

    Sesame Street Season 38 Preview

    I agree: Dinner Theatre had its funny moments, but the segments took too long and were sometimes a bit hard to believe. (A kid knowing so much about the nutritional content of peas and broccoli...or praising zucchini more extravagantly than most kids would their favorite snack food? Good...

    Sesame Street Season 38 Preview

    Great thinking, since the Two-Headed Monster did sound out words pretty often. One more classic that would fit the new theme perfectly: In the 80s and 90s, some of the human cast did a show-tune parody about reading material. Two variants existed (one with books/newspapers/magazines, the other...

    Sesame Street Season 38 Preview

    Let's hope the producers keep their word (no pun intended) this time. Literacy and school readiness used to be the dominant goals of Sesame Street; it's been a long time since the Workshop did more than an occasional "school" episode and the letter of the day. Adding a word of the...

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Actually, that last line before the repeated verse is "Happy people like...What a wonderful..." It's a shame that kids watching Sesame Street today will never hear that part, though. Back in the 90s, the animated closing credits at least included the bridge in the instrumental theme song; now...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I've got a copy in my clip archives, along with others from the same episode: The Best of Episode 355. They're all in .mp4 format, so you'll need a player that can handle that type of file (like QuickTime).

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    Thanks; I've got eleven of my full episodes uploaded now (nearly half), but I'll wait until all of them are up before I post the links. All twenty-six are "as is", the way I downloaded them off the Web--including a few skipped spots and picture problems that existed on the original poster's...

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    I lost the password to my blog on that site and can't get it mailed to me; there isn't even a help or contact link to handle situations like that. The FTP may still be worth using, even if it's slow (90 minutes to upload my full copy of Episode 1?); just don't expect any blog updates. *shrug*

    New Elmo's World Ideas

    I've had an "Elmo's World" idea in the back of my mind, too...about my favorite topic, hugging. Some of the details I've worked out: When Elmo answers the door at the beginning, several of his Muppet friends give him a hug. Dorothy's bowl would have a figurine of two hugging children. The...

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    Finally, the Best of Episode 1095 is finished (the last day in Hawaii, with Cody's birthday party). I've separated the street scenes from everything else again, because of file-size restrictions on my host. My revamped clip collections from #276 and #536--coming soon to a computer near...

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    My hosting service has had similar problems before (with links to other users' accounts, not just mine); still, I hope the file with the other clips gets through to you soon. If you still can't download them by this time tomorrow, I'll go ahead and re-upload the non-street-scene file then.

    Searching for "Mt. Snuffle-upagus"

    After following this thread, I'm wondering about three things: Is Mt. Namahana visible from the site of the reservation where the Sesame Street cast stayed? Does its profile resemble "Mt. Snuffy" enough for the special-effects crew to tweak the shot, without the whole thing looking fake? If...

    Attention, everyone: I'm halfway to senior membership as of my latest post in the "Sesame Street" forum.

    How is just "Sesame" enough to know one means Sesame Street?

    A lot of TV fans will call their favorite show by a shortened name. To use two non-Muppet examples: I've heard "Star Trek" called just "Trek", and "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" called just "Millionaire". The "Sesame" short form has existed since I was in kindergarten, at least. :-)

    Favorite Sesame Street Monsters

    I'd classify grouches (and Forgs, and Snuffleupaguses) as members of a "monster kingdom" in the Muppet universe: they look and act like other monsters, they don't represent any real-world species, and they don't fit neatly into another fictional category (like aliens or fairies).

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    I should've run test downloads on the #1094 files; if they don't come through, I'll delete and repost the whole set. As for the sound problems with the Best of #276, I'm surprised because the clips all had sound when I added them to the archive. Still, I'm willing to re-edit the set and upload...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I've captured it as a Flash video; please let me know where to send the clip, and whether I need to send it in a different format. (I also captured a few hundred others that way, including some that got pulled; if you have more requests, feel free to add them in your mail!)

    Classic SS clip archive updated!

    I'm nearly finished with the "trip to Hawaii" episodes by now; tonight I just uploaded the Best of #1094 (the street scenes and everything else). I'll start adding the unaltered clips from #536 next week, as soon as the Hawaiian clip files are finished. Enjoy!
