For some reason, every video on YouTube is coming up unavailable now. More technical difficulties, or Sesame Workshop protesting "cease and desist"? (I'd try some personal, public-domain stuff just to make sure.)

I doubt it, but I can always hope: the modernized set looks more like a day-care center or a kindergarten classroom, not like the inner-city street that inspired the show's name.

Is this the same kid who insisted on substituting "Cookie Monster" for some of the letter names, by any chance?

Very true, though I'd like to see them fix something other than toasters if the shop does return. (This would be the perfect opportunity to remake the "repeating H on TV" sketch, too: Ernie and Bert lug the set over, Luis plugs it in...and he and Maria remove the H-stuff from inside this time.)

I was born in early '69, when most of the few existing Muppets were still minor characters on variety shows. And I still remember when CTW (no name change yet) wasn't licensing Cookie Monster's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Grover's Grape Juice, and "Tickle Me" character dolls...they wanted Henson's...

That "STOP!" clip would be near the top of my list if you'd asked people about live-action clips generally. Keep those classic memories coming, folks...

[MUSIC: the "Alphaquest" theme plays, as a nameless GIRL searches the hallway for a new lettered door. A door marked "c" glows in the end, and the Girl opens it...] C.... [The GIRL finds herself in a living room, with one corner dominated by a large couch; the couch is overstuffed and...

I've known of at least three Sesame Street bits (on TV and/or in books) that share the same basic plot: The central character dislikes one letter of the alphabet and tries to abolish that letter. When the CC gets his/her wish, important objects and/or people disappear (sometimes by magic...

I'd need confirmation from a Sesame Workshop insider before I believe that: as much as I'd like to see the Fix-It Shop return, I've heard other rumors about Sesame Street that proved false.

Considering BD's propensity to eat almost anything, and his Cookie Monster-like voice...I always thought he was Cookie when I watched those sketches as a girl. Years later, a question on Jeopardy! claimed that "Beautiful Day" was an older name for Cookie Monster; he supposedly adopted the new...

Olivia was one of my favorite "new" humans--a confident woman who enjoyed being around both children and adults, had a job outside the home, and expressed her emotions without being a drama queen. It's a shame her actress left the show; does anyone here know why she did?

Did someone say "Swedish"? I've seen the animations that Soul H identifies as Swedish, on both Sesame Street and a similar "homegrown" program for Swedish children. No, not Svenska Sesam; the title of the other show translates as "Five Ants Is More than Four Elephants". That would certainly...

OK, here are my faves for every number: 0: the Señor Cero clips (politically incorrect, but a cute pun) 1: recent cartoon with a girl getting a 1 off a shelf; she hugs it and sighs, "My ONE and only! 2: "Two Is My Favorite Number" (Awwwww!) 3: Classic live-action film with the ball moving...

Part 2 of my list: my top ten-or-more "complete alphabet" clips. #1: ABCDEF...Cookie Monster! (Only Jim Henson could salvage an outtake and turn it into a priceless classic...) #2: The Madrigal Alphabet (a.k.a. the Fairy Alphabet): a female chorus sings letters to an orchestral...

Here's part 1 of my "alphabet favorites" list: a favorite clip for each specific letter. A: The Ape & A cartoon (The train to Spain was late today...) B: Boy & his Bear Bosco (making "bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles" in the tub...enough to fill the screen eventually) C: C is for...

I remember some other pictures the children made with those shapes: a boat (presumably a steamboat, since one child said "Toot toot!") a house a four-petaled flower (which someone described as a "pretty beauty flower")

Awww...is that one listed in the episode guide on the Muppet Wiki? I've been hunting for a link since last night. Darn, the Zizzy Zoomers should've made a surprise cameo on that episode (since Zoe hadn't been created yet). :zany: Maybe that was the one which also declared the entire...

I remember a lot of fairy-tale newsflashes, but none based on that particular one. As far as I know, Hansel and Gretel first appeared on Sesame Street during the episode about Baby Bear's first day of school.

I don't have a full plot, just a few Muppet scenes and a list of "filler" clips that would fit the theme. For now, I'm undecided whether this should imitate a video release or a "regular" episode complete with sponsors-of-the-day.... Central Muppet characters: Rosita (she loves to hug, based...

I recall that Oscar was harrassed by Muppetized words twice during that episode: The words "peanut butter" looked as if they were embossed onto a solid block of the stuff; they kept repeating "Peanut...but-ter" in a low, thick voice. The word "dog" was shaggy and spotted like a Dalmatian; it...
