Here is Outline number 115, in which Gordon explains air and Big Bird gets singing lessons from Bob. Plus, Grover shows loud and quiet, Guy Smiley honors a loaf of bread, and Simon Soundman sings a song. Sesame Street Old School Outline 115 Season 7: Gordon teaches the kids about air/Bob...

Hi-ho! I'm back after a three-month hiatus. Here is outline number 114, in which one of Mumford's tricks goes awry (as usual). Plus, Ernie and Bert share jellybeans, and Cookie Monster stars in "The Monster's Three Wishes." Sesame Street Old School Outline 114 Season 9: Mumford shrinks...

On the same note, I noticed that one of the Oscar puppets used in season 25-26 had a crooked mouth.

Rock 'n' roll at its finest...the Rolling Stones play "When the Whip Comes Down," live in 1982.

This can be seen in one of the cheerleading skits from Season 1.

This made me smile a lot. And also...I think someone's cutting onions in here. EDIT: Sofi also gave Jaheim a pair of socks, a shirt, and the backpack in which everything came in. Faith in humanity restored...

Finally, it's over 70 degrees here! Winter was too long for me this year.

My three most iconic Big Bird designs: 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s

The Tough Pigs website used to have an Ugly Toy contest...these would have been fantastic entries in my opinion.

Then you must have been a fan of the Sesame Street News Flashes. ...... Sorry, I'll go now.

I remember seeing this video a while ago. Ricky just burst out laughing like a hyena for a good twenty seconds or so. Honestly, he was no match for Kevin that day. If I recall, Kevin ended up laughing at one of his own jokes, but amazingly he remained in character and emitted Elmo's...

Here's a secret: Richard was wearing a shock collar under his bandana. Coincidentally, the song is called "Danger"...heh...

I have a question for MC members who have studied the puppetry styles of the Sesame Street performers. Which puppeteer do you think is/was the best at ad-libbing? I think that Frank Oz is, has been, and always will be the king of Muppet ad-libs, given his performances as Cookie Monster...

I got some exercise for the first time in a while! Rode a stationary bike and used a rowing machine. ***Tip: when working out, listen to the Foo Fighters. They've got some top-quality music that really gets the adrenaline going, at least for me anyway.
