Whatever happened to this guy? I can understand why Jesse didn't work out...he doesn't seem to have much chemistry with the Muppets, or even Gina for that matter. But this makes me wonder...what if Gina and Jesse's relationship progressed? Neither Gina nor Jesse definitely say they love each...

51... Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 9: Oscar’s pet flea sings opera/Olivia and Gordon’s argument Sponsors: H, P, 8 Scene 1: Bob is about to give a singing lesson…at Oscar’s trashcan. As it turns out, the lesson is for Oscar’s pet flea Fernando. Bob laughs out loud: “Oscar...

Some thoughts about the now-legendary "Maria & Luis's Wedding" episode which I've just rewatched: I know that Alaina Reed had left Sesame Street by 1988...but I can't help thinking that if she hadn't, Olivia might have been Maria's maid-of-honor for the wedding. Although that could have...

50...holy moly. Since I've reached the big 5-0, this one is a Frank Oz/Caroll Spinney showcase. They're the only Muppeteers who still perform on SS after nearly 50 years. Enjoy! Sesame Street Old School Outline 50 Season 9: Cookie Monster solves a problem/The cast presents opposites...

A blizzard has hit the north...so that's the perfect opportunity to write a snowy-day outline. This is number 49. Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 7: A snowy day on Sesame Street Sponsors: C, U, 11 Scene 1: The show opens with a shot of the street during a light snowfall. Bob...

Fozzie Bear: SHAME ON YOU! I thought we were in this thing together. I'm just as scared as you are, but this HAS to be done! We don't want the bad guys to win! We've GOT to do this for justice, for freedom, for honesty! (long pause and patriotic music begins playing) Scooter: Boy, do I feel...

Let's not forget the "Surprise" clip that so many fans have been talking about, with Big Bird, Grover, Mr. Hooper, Gordon, Maria, and others. If that ever surfaces, I will literally drop everything and watch it ten times in a row. And while I also wondered where these classic episodes were...

I'm back again. I've been working on this one on-and-off for a month. Here it is...number 48. Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 10: Biff fails to read the street signs/The Count counts Oscar’s trash/A day of sign language Sponsors: O, P, 9 Scene 1: Luis greets the viewer at the...

It reached 63 degrees here in New York...unusually warm. With the way things have been for the past couple years, it will probably be bitterly cold in January and February.

Great selection, but I wish there were more Muppet songs: "Rubber Duckie," "I Love Trash," "Being Green," "C is for Cookie," "The Song of the Count," and "The People in Your Neighborhood"...there were countless Muppet songs that helped make the show such a success. I agree that it's hard to...

Did you hear the joke about the broken pencil? No? Well, then there's no point to it. Did you hear the one about the fifteen-foot-high fence? You haven't? Well, it would have gone over your head anyway.

Kris Kringle-cut fries!

Bumping this thread. Most of you know how the original Snuffleupagus puppet looked from 1971-1972. He was modified in late 1972 to look more like he does today. I found a listing on ebay for a SS Little People figurine of Snuffy. Look at what this person did...

From Frank Zappa's 1985 concert documentary "Does Humor Belong in Music." Reporter: You're against drugs, so why do you smoke cigarettes? Frank Zappa: Well to me, a cigarette is food. Reporter: Does humor belong in music? FZ: I think so! It belongs in everyday life...unless the Republicans...

The irony is that Olivia never officially met Snuffy (I don't think she was in episode 2096), but there's a later clip where she interacts with Alice and Uncle Wally...and Snuffy is right next to them! Some continuity issues there, I suppose. I think Alaina started doing the 227 show in Los...

Sesame Street has always had a pretty even balance of older and younger cast members. In the early days, that dynamic was established with people like Mr. Hooper and David. But of course SS has had to change to fit the times, and nowadays children ages 2-4 don't seem to connect with people like...

Those Waiter Grover sketches have some great lines, indeed. "Singe an itty-bitty, Charlie!" ---Grover. This later becomes... "Okay Charlie! BROIL THE BIGGIE!!!" (from the big and little hamburgers skit) "He O'fainted." ---Grover (from the fast food skit) "That does it! From now on, I'm...

Here's a classic Zappa tune played at superhuman speed. Arthur Barrow (bass) and Vinnie Colaiuta (drums) are monsters. It really blows my mind.

47! Sesame Street Old School Outline Season 7: Sherlock Hemlock solves mysteries/Oscar tries to trick Herry Monster Sponsors: H, U, 6 Scene 1: Sherlock Hemlock is ready to solve mysteries on Sesame Street. He observes as Susan steps off the bus and goes to her apartment, but she does not...

I finally saw this episode and...I think Jim Henson would be proud. Pros: This series has great adult humor, which was part of Jim's original intention in creating the Muppets. Yet it has something that older kids can enjoy, too. Also, the Muppets are still the same old quirky, lovable family...
