The most rare and pricey ones seem to be the four that were sold separately from the sets: Herry, Prairie, Sherlock, and Snuffy. Of course, they're all vintage , so any could go high in a bidding war on eBay. Grover also seems to be difficult to find with no damage to his face. I would start...

You know, as stated before, "Year Without A Santa Claus" is one of my all time favorite Christmas specials. Yet, there are some parts of it that always seemed odd to me: Santa is worried that no one believes in him, yet his existence seems to be common knowledge in the news that reports he's...

Yes, the interesting about the Electric Company magazine is that its publication began while the show was in its prime, yet continued to be published some time after the EC was canceled. You can always spot the post-cancellation issues because all the characters from the show are missing.

Sesame Street magazine was great during the time that I read it. There were several interesting stories about interactions between characters that are every bit a part of Sesame Street history to me as skits on the show. They also had some cool games and activities in those magazines, like...

Actually, that's not the Fisher Price Little People Sesame Street set. It's another Sesame Street set from a different toy line; I'm not sure which one. There were actually several miniature Sesame Street sets made throughout the years by different toy companies. I'm not sure if there are any...

Ah, now we're talking about one of my favorite vintage Sesame Street toy sets! One slight correction: Herry Monster, Sherlock Hemlock, Prairie Dawn, and Snuffy did not come with either set. They were sold separately on a blister card. It was a delightful line of Sesame Street toys from the...

Yeah, "Year Without A Santa Claus" may have become somewhat obscure too, but it's probably better remembered than the two specials that I previously named. It was actually both the Snow Miser and the Heat Miser who stole the show with their catchy songs. Ironic that they were both relatively...

Most people are familiar with the regularly featured Christmas specials, many by Rankin and Bass, such as "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer." However, some may not know that there was an earlier cartoon version of "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer" for theatrical...

I'm learning how to play the triangle.

You didn't miss it. You were right there. :)

The skit with the hand putting eggs and one cookie in the carton was also sometimes shown without the Ernie and Cookie sketch afterwards.

That verse was particular to the Two Headed Monster in the 1980's Sing Along on the roof.

And what's the name of that song? ;)

I know that's what they say, yet in my local phone book, there are over 30 businesses listed under "Television & Radio-Service & Repair." But, let's say that ultimately people are throwing things away more and not getting them repaired as much; is that a good thing? A throw away society...

Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.

I don't know if it was the same actress, but Maria's mother was also at her wedding. The verse that she sang in the song said, "I wish her father would have lived to see this day; he would be so proud", so obviously her father was deceased by that time. It wasn't clear where her parents were...

It's okay. We have moderators to tell us when we're getting off topic.

Just because we never saw her parents doesn't mean they couldn't have been there. Also, some teenagers (especially those in their late teens) get their own apartments. Bear made reference to an A & E Biography where Sonia Manzano said that she played Maria as a teenager; that supports the...

I watched the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special last night on DVD at a friend's house and just realized something. Snoopy and Woodstock held out on those kids. Sure, they helped the kids make popcorn, toast, etc., but after everyone left on the bus, the two animals pull out a great big turkey...

I love the way Sesame Street used to put in some realism in its skits like a bunch of big guys wanting to pick on little guys, but then had a resolution that worked for everyone. It reminds me of a situation that happened in my freshman year at high school in P.E. class. The school was well...
