It's been reported at The Muppet Newsflash that a number of new Sesame Street DVDs wil be coming soon. We already know about Dinosaurs and Elmo's World: Summer Vacation, and it had already been reported that Elmo's Christmas Countdown will be coming this fall/ winter. But the report mentions...

The CTW Archive documents for "First Season Show Content" list a number of letter segments with "crossover" in the title (for example, "Crossover H"). Many of them note that Gordon and Bob appear, but does anybody know what these segments are?

Let's discuss the first season claymation segments for various letters of the alphabet, which Jim Henson worked on. I know that he provided voices in the Q, S, and U segments, and the Muppet Wiki talk page for University of Maryland includes all first season show content pages, which list pretty...

Has anybody ever seen a video called Camp Its-Among-Us? I am not sure if the title is right, but it's a puppet video about aids. It starts with a group of puppet kids on a bus going to camp. One of the kids tells the kid he's sitting with that he's heard that somebody who is going to the camp...

(Harvey Kneeslaper is laughing, then notices the viewer) Harvey Kneeslaper: Oh, helo there! (giggles) I've got this grea tjoke, see. I've got some exploding cigars, and a lighter. I am going to find somebody, and offer that person a cigar, but when that person smokes the cigar, it'll explode...

(Don Music is at the piano, playing and singing a "new" song...) Don Music: (singing) It's not easy being green.... (a knock is heard at the door) Don Music: Oh, it's not easy being yellow, either. (gets up from the piano and walks to the door) Oh, I'll never get it right... Not if...

Has anybody noticed that on some fo Guy Smiley's game shows, there are no prizes announced? Some of the game shows that don't announce prizes are: Name That Sound: Mr. Honker (Guy tells Mr. Honker that if he guesses all three sounds, he'll be very happy and proud of himself) Happiness Begins...

Does anybody know if the sketch What's My Job? might have been the first appearance of Sonny Friendly? Perhaps to show Guy Smiley with another game show host, and maybe after that it was decided to make Sonny Friendly a semi-regular character, whenever a game show host was needed but Jim Henson...

Was the main curriculum for seasons 21 and 22 (and possibly afew seasons later) protecting the environment? Looking at Muppet Wiki, it seems like a lot of episodes from this season have some sort of focus on the environment. There's one episode where Telly tries to guess who will get the Good...

There have been a numbe rof short-lived television shows over the eyars. Many have been released on DVD, but there are some that still haven't been released. Some may be cult shows, others may be infamous, and yet others may not have any fans at all. Does anybody know anything about the...

It seems like there were a few different cheerleader segments on the same subjects, possibly made at the same time, which don't have much difference. For example, there are five F cheers. Two of them have the lead cheerleader (is that what you'd call the leader in a group of cheerleaders?)...

(a big room is filed with Muppets, as an instrumental version of "This Frog" plays in the background) Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the 6000th post of Minor Muppetz! (the Muppets cheer) Announcer: And Minor Muppetz wanted to have a big ceremony for the occassion. He's...

Does anybody know if the various segments on Sesame Street are officially titled? I've seen a few different sources for various titles, and it seems like many are often different. Among the "sources" for titles are the first season show content (found at the University of Maryland, as well as in...

I thought it might be great to post a survey-type post about the possibilities of Old School volumes 3 and 4. Assuming that those sets will include the next ten season premieres altogether. now, this is not official, and our answers won't be what Sesame Workshop considers (well, not now... Maybe...

Does it seem to you like many supporting/ minor characters who were around in new material for nearly two whole decades (or maybe two and a half decades) were not in very many sketches? It seems like some characters might have only appeared in one new sketch a year, or maybe a few sketches in...

In the sketch where Telly sold (or attempted to sell) Kermit a headwarmer, was Telly performed by Brian Muehl or Martin Robinson? I thought I'd read somewhere (maybe Boober Gorg's tape trading website... though I don't participate in trades, I do look at these kinds of websites) that the sketch...

I've noticed something about part 1 of the three-part sketch where Grover wants to promote the number 2. Grover has six people, including Kermit, count to 2. It's obvious that most of the performers are performing twqo characters at once, I guess Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt were two of them...

At one point, the intros and outros of the Monsterpiece Theater segments were replaced so that Alistar Cookie no longer had a pipe. I don't know exactly when this happened, but I think it would have been when the opening was remade. I think Alistar Cookie stopped using a pipe for a few years...

It seems to me like Gladys the Cow, Fred the Wonder Horse, and Buster the Horse all started out as generic animal characters, before having regular names and personalities. I beleive Muppet Wiki mentions that Gladys was around for years before he was given a name and established...

Recently, I realised that there haven't been any Sesame Street videos or DVDs themed around outer space. I was thinking that this would be a good idea for a DVD release. There are many space-themed Sesame Street sketches that could be included, including the Spaceship Surprise sketches, anything...
