    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    That Emmy appearance was interesting. Is it just me, or was Buster being performed by Richard Hunt in that appearance? It doesn't sound like Marty's voice for the character. It is interesting that Jim was able to perform there while Frank didn't, since this was a few years before he became a...

    Who Built Lips?

    One thing has hit me previously. Could it be that they wanted to know who built Lips because they needed to rebuild him? Perhaps to ask for what material was used? I was thinking that the Lips seen in 2011 was new, and Steve Whitmire talked about him getting rebuilt for the new show as if the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I don't think Rhapsody Rabbit is a very good cartoon. Of course I haven't watched it in years, and recently I have been watching and gaining a little appreciation for some WB shorts that I hadn't really been a big fan of before, maybe I'll like it better if I were to watch it now. Most of the...

    Questions about anything

    Regardless of how difficult copying was, or how uncommon it was back then for anybody to have two VCRs, the chances of piracy would be the same whether the videos were for purchase or just for rent. Anybody know if there were any video releases that have only been available for rent and never...

    And they weren't worried that people would just copy rented videos?

    The "You know what?" thread

    Is it just me, or are the majority of the most iconic Looney Tunes shorts directed by Chuck Jones? Cartoons like What's Opera, Doc?, The Rabbit of Seville, Duck Amuck, Duck Dogers, One Froggy Evening, and the hunters trilogy all seem to be among the best-known Looney Tunes shorts, ones known by...

    Questions about anything

    I've read that when home video began, many video releases were rental-only. I know video was expensive at the beginning, but did so many early releases have to be rental-only? Couldn't companies have made the videos available for sale if retailers wanted to make them for sale? Like just produce...

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    Here's a list of what I think would make a good disc 1, based on what I think of as "essential" (and I'll try not to list personal favorites that, otherwise, I don't really see as essential). Disc 1 Rubber Duckie Elmo's Ducks Henson #3 The Count and Cookie Monster Co-Operate The Alligator King...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    Yeah, it'd be wonderful if I had the kind of job that could make all these April Fools threads (and wishlists) a reality.

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    There's a similar idea I had for an April fools thread, actually thought of it a few years ago, one where Sesame Workshop was having a home video survey. In this idea, Sesame Workshop would have asked fans to vote on different kinds of video releases, one per day, and when clicking on each one...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    Part of my inspiration for this came after hearing that FXX shows multi-hour blocks/mini-marathons of The Simpsons every day, often with themed blocks (at least on days leading to the newest episodes). At one point in development of this April fools joke, I thought about saying that Freeform...

    April Fools: New Muppet Show Online!

    I had debated over whether the show would be called "The Muppets Show Online" or "The Muppets Online Show".

    April Fools: New Muppet Show Online!

    Okay, here's some ideas I had that I didn't say in my first post. I had considered saying that the first two episodes were already online, as opposed to just the first. I was going to say that the first episode's end credits sequence would take place backstage, with Walter complaining that...

    RED ALERT! "The Muppets" fans need to contact ABC **NOW**!!

    I thought about that, but changed my mind. I had a few things in mind for an April Fools Thread for the second season. In fact, long before I knew that the first season would just have 16 episodes and end before this day, I had some plans for later in the season, if not the season finale. I...

    April Fools: "Muppets Summer" coming to Freeform

    Today, I was thinking about how ABC Family changed its name to Freeform, and wondered how they got away with dropping "family" from the title (as many places say that the channel legally has to have that word in the title regardless of who owns it), so I decided to try to look it up, and I found...

    April Fools: New Facebook opportunity to help with Sesame Street DVD

    The Sesame Street Facebook page has posted a new opportunity to help out with a future Sesame Street DVD set, much like they did in 2008 for 40 Years of Sunny Days (I know, that was the Sesame Workshop Facebook page as opposed to the Sesame Street page) and in 2012 for Best of Friends. But this...

    Will HBO have any Classic Sesame Street episodes?

    The DVD release of The Cookie Thief includes a season 34 episode as a bonus, and The Spanish Word of the Day is also removed from that as well (could it be a Sprout copy?).
