A number of classic episodes from seasons 1, 10, and 20 are available on iTunes now. I think they're under a heading called "Sesame Street Classics: Volume 1". I haven't downloaded any yet (I have quite a few things to do today), but browsing through it includes Telly's debut appearance, a...

I thought it might be fun to speculate on the timeline of the Monsterpiece Theater segments, to try to figure out the years various installments premiered, and to note when certain changes might have occurred. Season 11 - the premiere of Me, Claudias (according to the 40th anniversary DVD)...

I thought I'd talk a bit about the Sesame Street song "Write it Down". Sesamestreet.org recently added the rap version with Maria, Luis, David, and Forgetful Jones: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/48c26e7b-233d-4db6-a090-30fbcb81db30/write_it_down It is a good...

Considering the current long wait between The Muppet Show's third and fourth season DVD releases (when we still don't know when season 4 will come out), I thought it'd be fun to start a thread about TV shows that had season sets on DVD, then the releases stopped for many years before the next...

Acording to Tough Pigs The Muppets Take Manhattan and Muppets From Space might be getting a blu-ray release this year. It was pointed out on Tough Pigs that the source for the announcement mentioned some actor who wasn't associated with either film, which makes the news a bit suspicious. But if...

I read that after two years of waiting season 9 of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is coming to DVD this august (I think the 16th). We'll have one more season to go after this.

Today sesamestreet.org has FINALLY added some clips with Aristotle. We can all finally hear his voice and get to know his personality. http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/7b4f04f6-8710-49b8-9871-b3968fa7dcc1/aristotle_makes_lunch...

There's a number of TV memories I have from when I was really young, but considering they were things I haven't seen in suhc a long time, and haven't found on YouTube or any additional info over, it's possible these memories are just dreams. But in case they're not, I thought I'd start a thread...

The "News Flash" logo in the Sesame Street News title card changed quite a few times over the years. But for the most part all that changed was the colors on the logo. Size may have changed a few times, though I'm unsure. But why did the colors change? I can see why the original pink logo...

Well, I haven't posted any "vs." threads in a few weeks, so today I thought I'd ask, which of the two Monsterpiece Theater segments starrign Grover and Herry do you like better, "Chariots of Fur" or "ABCD Blue"? Chariots of Fur...

Well, Weird Al Yankovic's next album, Alpocolypse, is coming out on June 21 of this year. Here's a video promoting it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0YJpwKwinE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Lately I've been a bit curious about the Play-Along Video entitled "Peek-a-Boo". I rented it once a long time ago and hadn't remembered too much about it. I remembered it having only a small amount of Muppets and not being too good. And, not counting Fraggle Rock (or certain Sesame Street...

Today I thought I'd ask which Ernie and Bert fishing sketch you like better, Ernie's fish call (aka "Here fishy fishy fishy!") or the one where Ernie catches fish while Bert doesn't. Here's the fish call sketch...

I don't know if there's any other big Bob Newhart fans here, but I thought I'd start a thread for that great comedian and television actor, Bob Newhart. Of course, I've mostly seen his work in television: The Bob Newhart Show, Newhart, even Bob and George & Leo. It seems he didn't star in...

It's often been noted that when it comes to behind-the-scenes information, Jim Henson didn't keep many secrets, and was usually willing to explain how things were done. But on occasion there have been instances where he remarked that the viewers would have to figure them out for themselves...

Something just occurred to me recently: It seems like season four of The Muppet Show didn't really have very many changes. It's pretty much the only season with no new regular Muppet performers (depending on whether you'd count Karen Prell, Brian Meehl and Betsy Baytos as regular in season...

I found this clip of Kermit being interviewed about the 20th anniversary, and talking about the Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting special. http://www.theinsider.com/news/39349_Pop_Culture_Rewind_Jim_Henson_and_Kermit_Talk_Sesame_Street_20th_Anniversary/

I've been wondering something about scriptwriting for awhile. When a movie or TV show has multiple writers, and it's not a variety or sketch comedy show, do all of the writers usually get together to type parts of the script at a time? Do writers sometimes type certain scenes on seperate...

Chapter 1 The Electric Mayhem was on a road tour, and one night on the way to their next gig Dr. Teeth had an announcement. "Everybody", said Dr. Teeth as he was driving, "We're not going to stay at a hotel tonight." "What?", said the other. "Like, why not?", asked Janice...

Recently, I've noticed that, in the US, before Jim Henson's death in 1990 pretty much all video deals were short-lived and seemed to focus on a single type of video. In other countries, companies such as Virgin Video and Palace released more productions on video (including some specials that...
