Over the years many segments have been released on video and/or DVD many times. Many of them are classic and pretty much expected to be rereleased every so often (C is for Cookie, Rubber Duckie, The Alligator King), while others seem a bit random to release so much (Marilyn Horne's "C is for...

It seems like the openign scenes in many of the season premieres reintroduced many of the characters. While this seems like a good idea, I wonder if there was really a point to it. After all, as far as I know reruns were still shown daily between the season finale and premiere, so it's not like...

Today I've been listening to the album version of "A Celebration of Me, Grover!" for the first time in a few years. And while listening to "I Have Feet", I must wonder, was that actually done on the show? Somehow I think we won't know until somebody comes across the copy (most likely if...

I'm sure many of us have heard Muppet songs on albums before we ever saw the actual visual performances, so I wonder, did any of us really wonder what actually went on in the music performances we heard first and saw later? When I got the album Muppet Hits, I foolishly assumed most of the...

I don't know if many of you would know the answer to this, but I've just got to ask in case. When movies or TV shows or whatever have alternate endings shot, and it was always intended to include multiple endings (and not a change due to test screenings like "Little Shop of Horrors"), do the...

I thought I'd start a thread for commercials we might remember, but not what the commercials were advertising. One particular commercial, which I think was for some kind of desert, showed two boys having a staring contest. At one point one of them turned one eye to the left while keeping the...

I thought I'd start a thread to discuss performers who seem to essentially be "hand me down" performers, who seem to have taken over more characters than they had originated. The two most obvious are Eric Jacobson and Matt Vogel, as they are sort of understudies. Eric Jacobson performs most...

At the beginning of Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, Kermit tells Bill Cosby that he is on his way to ask the question of the day, and upon hearing this, Bill Cosby says "I've always wanted to do this..." But wait a minute... Bill Cosby always wanted to answer the question of the day...

I found out recently that a script that Jim Henson and Jerry Juhl worked on during the 1950s and 1960s will be adapted into a comic book by Archia (or whatever the name of the company releasing Henson comic books is). The script was titled "Tale of Sand", and is reportedly different from...

I've noticed somethign ironic that happens in The Muppets' Valentine Show. When Mia Farrow enters, Brewster asks "How was your trip over here from England?" And yet a few years later, The Muppet Show would be produced in England and for many guests the traveling would be the other way...

I thought I'd start a thread about the recurring segment Alphabet Chat, hosted by Mr. Chatterly. It seems like only a handful of segments were made; known segments involve the letters O, R, L, B, and H. Like Alistair Cookie, Mr. Chatterly is one of the few Sesame Street Muppets to smoke a pipe...

I've been thinking about the segment where Snuffy says the alphabet with Joey http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_player/-/pgpv/videoplayer/0/a61e008e-154a-11dd-8ea8-a3d2ac25b65b/snuffy_and_joey_alphabet Anyway, this segment is a bit interesting, if you compare it to the more well-known...

Well the new DVD Preschool is Cool: ABCs with Elmo has come out today. I am watching it right now, and so far it's a bit mediocre. So far all of the segments shown involve the whole alphabet, instead of individual segments, but a picture from "A's Anatomy" is on the back of the package. Also on...

Chapter 1 One day Grover was standing by an elevador, dressed in his elevador operator uniform. "Hello there", said Grover, "It is I, your furry, cute friend, Grover. Today, I am working as an elevador operator. It is one of my many jobs, you know." Just then Mr. Johnson came by...

I've been thinking latley, are there any speciffic Muppet productions that fans see as either overrated or underrated? I'm not talking about individual segments, songs, characters, or episodes of shows, but actual productions like movies or specials or such. Because I can't really think of...

After DW McKim posted a few "Watch Along" entries on his blog I was inspired to do a similar post here, regarding the first episode of sesame street (and yes, I did ask DW for permission to do a post similar to his blog feature, and he did grant me permission). A few things to keep in mind...

Well it's been reported that two new Sesame Street video games are coming to the Nintendo Wii and DS. One of them is Cookie Monster's Counting Carnival, and the other is Elmo's A-to-Zoo. The Wii versions will include special remote covers of Cookie Monster and Elmo, respectively. The covers will...

It's been a month and such a thread hasn't been started. I just got it recently, so I thought we'd start a thread about The Best of Elmo 2. I don't think it was very bad, though it's not the best Sesame Street direct-to-video release. It's a lot better than Being Green and Cookie Monster's...

I've been wondering, is Rowlf still copyrighted/trademarked? I know that a character trademark is good as long as the character is still being used, and throughout the 1990s there were long periods where Rowlf wasn't used. I don't know how long a character can go without being used to still be...

Hulu just added a Twiddlebugs sketch that I hadn't heard of before, and it wasn't listed at Muppet Wiki (until I just added the info). http://www.hulu.com/watch/152696/sesame-street-the-twiddlebugs-smoke-detector#s-p1-sr-i1 This was a great sketch. I wonder who performed the Twiddlebug...
