Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

Zoe debuted in 1992, the year they switched taping studios and the year they started using that crazy Calypso opening theme and the current closing credits. "Around the Corner" didn't come until a year later. Also, unlike other newer commonly-seen Muppets, Zoe is performed by one of the...

The new one from last Sunday. In it, the Simpsons' dog (Santa's Little Helper) becomes a police dog.

Sawing14s uploaded the early 1970s Sesame Street News Flash about Kermit witnessing the Wolf chasing Red Riding Hood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1aAlg8_sTw I'm also surprised that Richard Hunt performed Red Riding Hood instead of Frank Oz. Normally in these News Flash segments Jerry...

I just saw a Sesame Street reference on "The Simpsons" tonight! They had a blue sweatshirt with Big Bird killing Elmo!

OK, I am sorry. I just say that some of these changes are quite possible and can be done.

OK, today I saw Episode 4129 of "Sesame Street." It was a slight improvement over the 2004 episode I saw. I also got to see the full version of the current opening theme. It is basically another remix of the old "Sesame Street" intro but with more instruments, and of course, including the...

That Newsflash about the Count's cannonballs wound NEVER be made! It would be deemed as too scary for kids. Besides, the Count would NEVER be violent to Kermit! But the one about the Count's grandfather clock I could definitely see as a skit. OK, so a couple of nights ago, I had a REALLY odd...

The new opening was a slight change, but the rest of the show was unaffected. "Around the Corner" was a big change, because they introduced loads of new characters that were partially unneccesary and kept doing plots about the AtC location, and the use of the new theme didn't help. The 1998...

I can see why Kevin Clash did several singing characters... he was the first REAL African-American Muppeteer, if I'm not mistaken

Also, the corporate motto for Chuck E. Cheese is "Where a kid can be a kid." (I don't know if it still is.) However, the commercials for Chuck E. Cheese say "The real cool place to be a kid." Yet the PBS bumpers for Chuck E. Cheese claim it as "PBS Kids, where a kid can be a kid." Google...

Another thing is "The Song of the Count" on the Old School DVD set. They say it's from 1972 while all other sources say it's from 1974. The "Rapunzel" skit, also labeled as from 1972, is probably from 1971. I think the reason they chose the Rapunzel skit for that DVD set is because it was...

That video is now called "Sleepytime Stories and Songs." I grew up with it as a kid and enjoyed seeing the characters in it. "If Moon Was Cookie" was such a nice, calm-sounding song. If only I could find the year it debuted. I am guessing it is from between 1978 and 1986 since it looks like it's...

Here's an unusual Mysterious Theater skit. Vincent Twice's room looks DIFFERENT here! Also, it doesn't have the "Mysterious Theater" title card. Was it cut off by mistake? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM9BhHRpI_Y

Maybe the reasons why I didn't particularly enjoy the "Around the Corner" era was because of the hundreds of new characters they introduced, like Stinky the Stinkweed and Sherry Netherland... they also tried to make Betty Lou a major character, and not just appearing in songs and in the books...

I stopped watching the show regularly around early 1993, I think, so I was lucky to not watch most of the Around the Corner episodes. I grew up with the 1990-1993 years, which was pretty good. But I know the Furry Arms Hotel makes some occasional appearances nowadays. Perhaps they moved to a...

I know something that might be outdated now... There are several Sesame Street crosswalk-safety skits featuring the older crosswalk signals with the words "WALK" and "DON'T WALK." Not a lot of those signals exist around America anymore (ESPECIALLY in New York City). So maybe they should make...

That was totally awesome! I really loved it. I read those On My Way with Sesame Street books when I was a kid!

I can see how Sesame Street needs to focus more on other ways to stay healthy than sensible eating. Also, they should go back to using the long version of the theme the show is famous for. While the current opening has a good rendition of the theme music (similar to the 1998 theme), the only...

Yeah, recasting Oscar's gonna be difficult! But I think it'd be totally easy to recast Harvey Kneeslapper... they could just use Eric Jacobson!
