I was at Target today and saw that there's a new Sesame Street DVD, which I don't think we knew about previously. The shelf that had it actually had a flyer saying that it came out on november 10. I didn't buy it, but the title was Elmo and Friends: The Magic Quest and Other Tales (or something...

While watching the "invisible ice cream cone" sketch, I have been wondering if the invisible ice cream cone was actually a scam. On one hand, when Ernie asks Lefty what flavor it is, Lefty thinks for a second before saying "chocolate", and when Ernie mentions his favorite flavor, Lefty just...

I've been wondering, was the trash can that Bruno carried actually Oscar's? It was probably a different prop can, but I wonder whether it was Oscar's can in show continuity. After all, when Oscar is normally in his trash can, the lid pops open and stays that way. When Bruno carried the trash...

The Arts Beat blog at nytimes.com is now giving fans the chance to ask Caroll Spinney and Carol-Lynn... Something, can't remember the last name, any questions we want about Sesame Street. Interestingly there are more than 500 unanswered questions posted...

In case you don't know, this week tough pigs has reviewed all of the Sesame Street anniversary specials, including Sesame Street's All-STar 25th Birthday: Stars and Streets Forever. This one does seem to be a bit rare compared to the others. It's never been released on video or DVD (and neither...

In the sketch where Mr. Johnson orders a hamburger, he is dsapointed at how small the small hamburgers are. But recently, Burger King sold "mini-burgers". I never actually had any of those to eat, but I think they might have been similar in size to the small hamburgers at Charlie's Restaurant...

In most waiter Grover sketches, Mr. Johnson often complains about Grover's service. But one thing that he seems to overlook is the fact that it seems to only take Grover a few seconds after ordering to bring his food to him. Think about it... He makes his order, Grover goes through the doors...

Has anybody noticed how in many sketches from season two, Herry Monster made unexpected appearances at the end, often as a surprise appearance? In many of them the main characters thought he was someone to be afraid of, when he had other intentions. I'll list the various season two...

I've been wondering, how many Jim Henson Video releases had promos found during the previews of videos? Here is a list of the ones I know of: The Muppet Movie (found on It's the Muppets: Meet the Muppets, The Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Babies: Explore with Us, and others) The Great...

When Sesame Street, Special was released on video under the title "Put Down the Duckie", a number of scenes were edited or altered. However, I'm wondering, is Put Down the Duckie shown the way it originally was in the broadcast version, or does this video feature the altered version? I believe...

I don't have the GMC soundtrack but I heard the soundtrack version on TMS 25th anniversary album, and I just have to wonder, who's idea was it to include most of the dialogue during the middle of the number? In many of the songs from the movies which featured spoken dialogue, the dialogue would...

I've been wondering, why are songs on various soundtrack albums rerecorded? After all, pretty much all Muppet songs are pre-recorded before they are filmed/ tapped. Can't those tracks be used? It seems like many of the tracks on the various Muppet Show albums are the same used on the show...

Alistar Cookie: Good evening. Me Alistar Cookie. Welcome to Monsterpiece Theater. Tonight, me present fishy tale called "Everybody Hates Fish". (a group of for monsters are behind a table at a resturaunt. Grover is their waiter) Monster #1: Bring us our food! Monster #2: Yeah! We're...

Many fans see the Muppets as being like a close family. The writer of Muppet Robin Hood mentioned this in his Tough Pigs interview, when discussing the difficulty of casting Muppets as villians. Jim Lewis also kind of commented on this in the Ask Jim Lewis thread, when asked about Fleet...

Does anybody have any idea when Prairie Dawn became a major character? It seems like she was a lot more minor during the first 20-something seasons. Seems like she was just barely more major than Betty Lou was on the show. This could be due to the fact that Fran Brill seemed to work on the show...

I have a feeling that others will make their own fan fiction stories for the 40th anniversary, and it's rumored that there won't be an actual 40th anniversary special. If there's not a special outside of the two-DVD set, then this is the next best thing. Maybe. This will be written more like an...

Looking at Michael Earl's page on Muppet Wiki, I found a link to his myspace page, and found a video clip that can be found on youtube, listed as "You Seen a V Around Here?" It features two characters, a little boy and a fat blue man. The boy asks the man if he's seen his V. I couldn't identify...

Enjoy this outline! Chapter 1 Dr. Bunsen Honeydew was backstage at the Muppet theater, looking for Beaker, who was hiding so that he wouldn't have to try out Bunsen's latest invention. "Hey, has anybody seen Beaker?", asked Bunsen. "No, I haven't seen him", said Kermit. "I'm...

Let's talk about The American Revolution sketches. As far as I know, there were only three of them, and all three can be viewed at sesamestreet.org (sesame workshop also uploaded two of those three on youtube and hulu). The best one is easily The National Bird, with many of the main Sesame...

Kathy26 suggested this idea to me a few weeks ago, and I had very little interest until now. She suggested some guets stars, and I'm sorry to say that only a few that she suggested are going to be included, while a few of my favorites will also be included. This will be an outline, and will be...
