Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
They did do an Inspector Gadget parody. Maurice did a better Gadget than usual. Not only did they have Frank Welker in the voice cast there, they also had Cree Summer voice Penny! (her original voice actress from 1983-1984)
I thought that Sesame skit was FUNNY! They made it a bit reminiscent...

This News Flash is so cool! I love the low-budget special effects used here. It looks like they taped the Lavender Pinocchio Muppet to the cardboard wall and put a hole through the center of the puppet and put a broom through it with the handle...
That's one of the few News Flashes to feature a real human in the skit. Frank Oz performed the Witch, since Jerry Nelson. was the mirror (usually it's Jerry who does the witches). To tell you the truth, I think Frank Oz does a better witch than Jerry.
Another News Flash with Jerry Nelson...
I think they should do some Sesame Street segments about those new digital crosswalk signals with countdown timers on them! I have seen several of them in different cities, and Washington D.C. has them at almost every intersection...
Nice, but unfortunately, it's the "totally hacked" version. I'll have to settle with the copy I taped from Nickelodeon back in 1994.
Anyways, why IS there thunder when the Swedish Chef sees Big Bird? Was the Count counting something or what?
Also for thunder in this special, they don't use...
I saw it On Demand, and I thought it was kind of interesting. Aside from the CGI characters, it almost seems the new segments were taped in the 1980s or 1990s. I was also shocked when I read it was going to be a clip show, but I was glad to see a clip from "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street,"...
Well, it's Christmastime again! Let's begin our discussion about this timely classic, as an annual sort of thing maybe. BTW, I started this thread anyways.
I am SO glad I still have my Nickelodeon copy of the film from 1994, though I will probably never get to see Fozzie's stocking or the...
I also made up my own descriptions for the classic Sesame Street News Flash title cards, in the same style...
Sesame Street News
1st Logo
(1971- present)
Nicknames: "Newsflash logo," "The Cloud outline," "The Bolt," etc.
Logo: On a black background, we see a puffy cloud outline...
Besides a Muppet fan, I am also a member of the Closing Logo Group. We talk about classic logos seen on movies and television. We also write descriptions of logos, too. Here are how they work...
Logo: Describes what happens in it.
SFX: Lists the animation/effects used in the logo...
:D That was very funny! I imagine it would be all animated, with the Muppet performers and Sesame Street cast doing their respective voices for the Sesame characters. I think they would probably look like Joe Mathieu's designs.
Anyways, if this was supposed to be 1972 or 1973 (when the show...
But Snuffy was vising his granny for Christmas in "Elmo Saves Christmas."
I think Roosevelt Franklin would've celebrated Kawanza. But if we needed a current character for that, we could have Hoots the Owl. He DOES sound like a black person (no surprise, since he's performed by Kevin Clash, a...
I'm surprised Kermit the Frog didn't cover this nursery rhyme. So I decided to make this up...
SESAME STREET NEWS FLASH: WEE WILLIE WINKIE
Like most of Kermit’s news reports, we start on the Sesame Street News Flash title card and its theme music.
Announcer: And now, for another...
Here is what happened in this tag:
The Muppet Babies except for Animal were at a table in a fancy restaurant. A waiter (his head is obscured by one of those big silver platters), says "Dinner is served." He shows them the platter, which is a big blob of dough. The babies say, "Mmmmmm!" But then...
I'm pretty sure they replaced the theme on Nickelodeon. They also didn't show the original ending tags; they just showed one in a restaurant and Animal in a big thing of dough.
I saw a few "Sesame Street News Flash" clips on Youtube (they were recently removed by the user). They included a new-to-Youtube one, which was the one about the Witch and her Magic Mirror, and a couple of older ones that were already there; the "Humpty Dumpty" one and the original early 1970s...
Playhouse Disney UK has the original closing theme on Season One episodes. But I think the Little Muppet Monsters theme makes a better Muppet Babies closing theme.
I like the Orange Gold Guy Smiley-type best, as well as the small Hot Pink Anything Muppet used for Prairie Dawn, the Busby Twins, Betty Lou and the Three Little Pigs.
It also seems that Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson used the Large Lavender Live Hand muppet a LOT. I mean, the Count used to be...
