    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I love Telly's colossal freak-out in the beginning when he mistakes Little Bird for Big Bird...how can one possibly do that, anyhow? Additionally, it's always great to see Little Bird in ANY street scene. Fran Brill really gets to shine in this episode.

    Songs the Electric Mayhem should cover...

    Any Stones song from 1968-1974 would be great...that's when I think they released their best material. "Brown Sugar" would especially work well for the Electric Mayhem: have Floyd on bass and lead vocals, Janice on lead guitar and harmony vocals, Dr. Teeth on piano, Animal on drums, and Zoot on...

    When you need to rant...

    He didn't put it in his first comment, but he added it for his reply. So I'm not sure what to think of that. Other than he seems to be a smug-a** troll.

    When you need to rant...

    Here's a tip for everyone on Facebook, forums, or any other social media site. If you want to say something sarcastic, DON'T. It doesn't work well at all, and doing it just makes you look like an uneducated fool. This happened to me today when one guy commented, "Playing *X&Y piece of music* is...

    The New New Quote Thread

    Steve Vai (the guitarist of Zappa, Whitesnake, and David Lee Roth fame) once told some funny stories about the late great Frank Zappa. Story I: Frank is talking to a girl who auditioned for his band but didn't make the cut. The girl is not taking this very well. Girl: What do you mean I didn't...

    Major Changes in store for Sesame Street Season 46

    To me, that isn't necessarily the case. It seems like they're putting more focus on the younger members like Leela, Chris, and Mando, since they could probably identify with the increasingly younger viewers, and vice-versa. Over the past four to five years, Bob and Susan have slowly been getting...

    What Sesame Street moments made you laugh?

    Frank returns to Sesame Street for 3-5 days each year to shoot new inserts with Bert and Grover. He's also done some one-shot characters from time to time, including the Don Draper Muppet in the "Mad Men" spoof, Clucky Luciano in "Birdwalk Empire," Keith Heartburn in "Heaviest Catch," and Carson...

    What Sesame Street moments made you laugh?

    The common thing I see here are Jim Henson & Frank Oz characters (Kermit, Ernie, Bert, Grover, Cookie Monster). So I guess you really like them a lot! One of my favorite SS sketches EVER is the one where Bert and Ernie go fishing. Ernie catches fish by shouting, "Heeeeeere FIHSY FISHY FISHY" at...

    Your Thoughts: "I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story"

    I finally saw this documentary film...WOW. I love how Caroll & Debbie Spinney's relationship is emphasized, and the depth and innocence shown through Caroll's narration. Great interview material from Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson (RIP), Sonia Manzano, Emilio Delgado, Bob McGrath, Loretta Long, Joan...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    An entertaining and very impressive musical bit with Big Bird, Oscar, and the adult cast...even though David is absent, Mr. MacIntosh is here! It also sounds like Brian Meehl and Michael Earl are playing Gilbert & Sullivan here, instead of Richard Hunt and Martin P. Robinson. @hooperfan Thanks...

    Deena and Pearl

    It wouldn't have been possible. Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson were working on the Muppet Show and various movies in London at the time, so they probably wouldn't have done street scenes in the limited time they had on the Sesame Street set. They would've stuck mostly to shorter inserts (e.g. Bert &...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I certainly didn't see this coming at all. This is truly a sign of the times...Sesame Street pioneered children's TV programming, and now it's a 30-minute program, just like dozens of other TV shows it inspired. It's also a statement about children's attention spans these days. But what is even...

    When you need to rant...

    I suppose I'm not the only one who thinks that this Presidential race has become nothing more than a popularity contest and a circus rolled into one. It seems like ANYONE can run for President these days. I'm not a fan of Donald Trump because he seems to put his foot in his mouth more often than...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Understood. Thanks again, and keep on uploading these great classic SS clips! I especially like this new one. You don't always see characters like Gladys, Snuffy, and the Amazing Mumford featured in the same episode.
