I recently read at The Muppet Newsflash that there will be a new series of Sesame Street DVDs called Preschool is Cool! The first such release will come out in July and will be called "ABCs with Elmo". It will include African Alphabet as a bonus feature (I assume it's the Kermit version as...

I've been wondering about Sesame Workshop's master tapes for the inserts. Could there be multiple master copies of various sketches? There are sketches that seem to be edited or altered in certain broadcasts, and I would expect new masters to be made in these cases. But I wonder... Could...

I search general discussions and didn't see any threads about Dr. Seuss in general (I did see some threads, but they were pretty much tied to specific things about Dr. Seuss). So I chose to start one. Some of my favorite Dr. Seuss stories include How the Grinch Stole Christmas, The...

Does anybody know if Sesame Workshop has officially stopped producing new Elmo's World segments? Because I read that the Frogs episode was the only new EW segment to premiere in season 40, and we all know that that was produced for season 39. I guess it doesn't matter if the segment...

I recently saw the "Wizards" episode of Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures, which featured Elmo, and it actually is one of the best in the series. I don't know if Elmo has made any additional appearances or not, but it got me thinking: Should any other Muppet characters besides Bert and Ernie...

Well, I got the new Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures DVD, and while the press releases said it'd have 11 episodes, it actually has 13 (either there was a mistake, or somebody who matters changed their mind and put in more). I have afeeling that it might be the whole "first season", either by...

Are there any particular Sesame Street scenes that you've either seen pictures from or really short clips of (like in a clip montage) that look interesting, but you don't really know what they are about? In the case of many clips we only see a few seconds in a montage, not enough to inform us of...

In a lot of movies and series it seems like fans often root for the main enemy of the production, sometimes preferring the bad guys (or gals) over the good. But what enemies are there that we just don't cheer at? Some of the baddies I don't care more about include... The bad guy from The...

Is it just me, or does it seem like seasosn 6-10 don't really have very many moments that fans consider "classic"? The kinds of stuff that adult fans who aren't neccessarily "hardcore" like us would surely remember? Especially when compared to seasons 1-5 and 11-onward. Because I remember...

On Muppet Babies, Kermit enjoyed going on adventures, and it seemed natural for him. But then I started thinking... Did Kermit care about adventure this much as an adult? After all, there aren't too many times when Kermit seemed to enjoy adventures (mainly Muppet Treasure Island and his roles as...

I've recently noticed that Sesame Street didn't really start to have any real major series-affecting changes until the early 1980s when Mr. Hooper died. Before then, the various changes weren't as significant. Puppets and sets were rebuilt, some characters were recast, characters would come and/...

What song titles do you feel are "unusual" as the titles? Some of the song titles I find unusual, and why: Over, Under, Around, and Through - Seems the title should have been "Around, Over, Under, and Through", or even just "Over and Under and Through". The different order in the title is...

This morning I went to Target and found two exclusive Sesame Street DVDs that hadn't even been announced (seems most Target exclusives don't get announced before the releases), and if you've been skeptical about Warner Home Video releasing DVDs of classic material... Well, your worries are over...

Believe it or not, I just realised yesterday that I know the original Gordon from the test pilots! And after I realised it was him, I also learned some info on his background! Anyway, there was this new guy at my work, who's been there for a few weeks. I thought he looked familiar, but...

It's been announced that a sequel to The Best of Elmo, The Best of Elmo 2, will be released on may 4 2010. And quite a few celebrity appearances have been confirmed for inclusion, some of which only feature Elmo in the chorus. Anyway, I thought I'd start this thread to talk about what...

With the recent Alice in Wonderland movie out, I was wonderign what everybody's favorite versions of the Alice in Wonderland stories are. Of course I figure many of us will mention the Brooke Shields episode of The Muppet Show (put that on my list), and maybe also Dreamchild, the Jim Henson...

After seeing that the opening wide shot in the segment Put Down the Duckie was cut in Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days, it reminded me that I once saw an airing of that segment in season 25 where the beginning was cut. And it got me wodnering... Was it common for that shot to be cut on the...

I've been wondering lately. Abby Cadabby has been on Sesame Street for about four years now. Does anybody think the time would be right for a DVD highlighting the "best of Abby Caddabby"? Does she have enough moments that'd be considered the "best"? There are some real good sketches with...

Well I bought the Elmo's Rainbow and Other Springtime Stories DVD that came out today. It is my first purchase of a Sesame Street DVD compiling post-2002 street stories, and my first purchase of a Warner-released Sesame Street DVD (actually, my second; I got the Follow That Bird DVD last year)...

I checked and didn't see any threads like this, so... Let's talk about that great variety show, SCTV! I have the first three volumes that were released on DVD. I don't have volume 4 (it was very rare for me to even find copies in person) or The Best of the Early Years set. I also saw some of...
