    Disco D vs. D Duah Dua

    My vote goes for "D Duah Duah", or as I call it, "Be My D", as that's what I grew up with as a kid. And yeah, I initially thought Bushman Bill was a little freaky, but it's still a great song, and another instance of the show hiring a professional female vocal group to perform a song for a...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Has anyone seen this yet? It's a 16mm master copy of one of my childhood fears: the Yakity Yakity Yak animation! What's interesting is how the Yak's dialogue is clearly a different set of takes than what was heard on the show.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    My mistake; that float was actually retired. But yeah, the way NBC now considers the Radio City Rockettes a bigger attraction in the parade over the floats and balloons is a real shame (like saying "And the rest!") Again, this is why aside from the "Sesame Street" float and a couple other parts...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Not surprisingly, NBC's telecast of the parade skipped a few floats, including the Blue's Clues And You one. Not too surprising, given they now prioritize all the Broadway performances and the Radio City Rockettes over the floats and balloons, even the new ones. (After announcing all the musical...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Of course, I loved seeing Julia in the float with her noise-cancelling headset, along with the brief bit of Oscar refusing to sing along. I also liked the song, since I do enjoy the Nutcracker suite. The way they sung "Best Christmas Ever" to the tune of the Nutcracker Overture reminded me of...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    I just saw a quick glimpse of the "Sesame Street" float before the "Back to the Future" performance. It shouldn't be long now! Of course, up until now, I watched much of the parade on CBS, where they focus more on the actual parade and balloons and floats, and then when it's nearly time for the...

    Hanna-Barbera

    When I read the stories, I hear Papa Bear's 1980s voice (Brian Cummings) alongside Mama Bear's 2000s voice. They seem to fit the characters the best, to me that is. Funny enough, I seem to have done more YouTube Poops of the 2000s series than the 1980s series. Also, after Southern Star was...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This looks to be a rerun from a Season 16 - 19 episode, given the way the "NEWS FLASH" logo zooms in, as was common with reruns of older Sesame Street News segments during those seasons (i.e. segments from the 1970s and early 1980s).

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This has been officially uploaded; probably my favorite instance of Jerry Nelson doing a female voice... I also like the Kevin Clash-voiced bunny that says "Hi, lady!" and "Bye, lady!"

    The Official "I'm looking for/trying to remember a sketch" thread

    I still think that "Fairytale Update" with Rapunzel from the early 90s was originally written in the late 80s as a Sesame Street News segment with Kermit the Frog. But Jim Henson's death led to the script being shelved. But then they dusted it off in Season 24 and re-wrote it without Kermit as a...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    It was kind of intense, along with the kid falling with his piano (of course since he was a Muppet, he probably only got minor injuries), but it did teach me to recognize the word "DANGER" as a young kid, to the point where even at age four I could read and recognize "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE" signs...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Heh, it's funny seeing and hearing the Count use one of the Amazing Mumford's magic spells and saying "Ala peanut butter sandwiches!" I wonder if there's an episode where Biff says it? It's also a rare instance when the Count's storm cloud produces rain! His thunder spell probably made the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Now how did this slip past my radar, especially since I'm subscribed to this guy? (He's just my age and we're both on the spectrum!) The English song heard here does seem less creepy than what was heard in the Arabic dub, sounding more like a hoedown number here. The hen's animation is a tad...

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    I will admit that Indian tapestry background the "12" floats around on at the end looks really nice, even if that bit does go on for some time. Yeah, I wasn't expecting THAT much from this segment, not like Episode 847 or something. I figured it wouldn't be super-scary or something, but I...

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    Yeah, like I said, it goes on for much too long and is pretty slow-paced. I'm betting THAT'S why they eventually stopped airing it in the early 80s.

    Does anyone remember this weird bit?

    Here it is! Geez, does it go on for quite a while. It's nearly three minutes long. No wonder many found it so unsettling!

    This has finally been uploaded! Geez, it does go on for quite a while... nearly three minutes long! I can see why many found it unsettling.

    Lloyd Morrisett (1929-2023)

    That's too bad. I read about his story in the "Street Gang" book, and how his little daughter was fascinated by television and he wondered if it could be used to teach preschool-aged children.

    HBO Max removes nearly 200 Sesame Street episodes, modern specials, and the Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo

    On a similar note, HBO Max just removed all the "Looney Tunes" cartoon shorts from 1951 to 2004. And that included a lot of their best titles! Of course, David Zaslav is to blame once again, in another one of his signature controversial moves, and I bring that up in this vlog where I also...
