So did Sesame Workshop provide transportation costs, or did you have to pay for that yourself (of course I don't know whether or not you live in the basic area)? They "joked" about Muppet Wiki being wrong about Fran Brill performing Miss Muffet in the Let's Eat video? I haven't seen that...

Congratulations. During your visit, did you happen to ask if there are more plans than what we know for the 45th anniversary?

According to the review at The Mickey Mindset, Henson did co-produce the film. http://mickeymindset.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/review-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day/ I do want to see this movie, but I don't know when I'll have the time.

There's many movies and TV shows that weren't successful that have examples of "retroactive recognition" that eventually become cult favorites because somebody in the cast became a bigger star years later. I wonder if there should be a trope for works that are more-or-less the opposite: Shows...

So whenever there's a Saturday Night Live release spotlighting the best of a certain cast member or host, do they need permission from the spotlighted individual (or their estate) to make such a release? I'm guessing they don't need permission to put their material on the video, and the featured...

It's interesting, you say in the book that he ran it like a great businessman, while Street Gang says that he didn't run the company like a great businessman. Though in Street Gang it says that because he couldn't get himself to fire anybody (though he clearly did arrange for Jack Burns to be...

Well, the Numeric Con street story was great, but very few of the inserts were. There was only one Muppet insert, with a fish counting to five (interestingly, it's the only Muppet clip that shows up on sesamestreet.org in a search for "Henson", but Jim Henson is not credited for performing...

I realized that today is officially The Count's birthday, which Sesame Street noted on its official Facebook page. I sort of wish today's "throwback thursday" clip would have been a rare Count segment, though the one we got today was great as well.

Well I got Elmo's Super Numbers this morning and am watching it right now. It has the Numeric Con street story intercut with number segments. So far, most of the segments aren't exactly memorable (there are exceptions, like the 1 Limeric sung by Christopher Cerf). So far no Muppet number inserts...

Sesame Workshop added another rare clip I had never heard of (and I'm surprised it has already been added this early in the morning):

It's a shame that these aren't packaged with a 45th anniversary logo.

So The Name Game is copyrighted.... But with so many names that can be used, would any cover be required to pay a licensing fee, or would they normally fall under free use parody? I know the song was a pop song, which I only remember hearing once, with the singer singing some "name game"...

Vampires don't have reflections, but is that enough for their clothes to not have reflections? I would think maybe their outfits would show up in the mirror, but they don't. So maybe it's too difficult a film trick (though it'd probably be easier to do today). Maybe clothes loses its reflection...

So in the Child Play movies, Chuckie is part of a line of "Good Guy" dolls, which also includes such names as Oscar and Tommy... Yet they all look identical. What's the deal with this? If they're going to have different names, why not different looks as well?

If they release more, I wonder what characters would be more likely to be included: "old school" or "modern"? Does Funko normally do these in "series"? I know that when Funko released additional Muppet toys the company only put out two new ones, is this the case whenever any Funko line continues...

Well, it's been announced that Funko will release a series of vinyl Sesame Street figures, starting with a Super Grover exclusive, and a full series being released in 2015, consisting of Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Oscar, and The Count. http://www.toughpigs.com/funko-ss/

Something I just realized: In one segment, Scred comes on stage dressed as a bee, only for that week's bee sketch to be cut from the show. He says it was going to be an all-bee version of The Andry Griffin Show, with Scred playing the role of Aunt Bee. And yet that's really the only bee-related...

I wonder if there's an index for "opposite" tropes, meaning two or more separate tropes that are opposites of each other, like "Screw the rules, I have money!" and "Screw the money, I have rules!" (and there are a few other "screw the rules, I..." tropes).

Lately, Sesame Workshop has been putting out special compilation "collections" on YouTube, themed around different topics. I wonder if any of these will feature any rare clips not available at sesamestreet.org or Sesame Workshop's YouTube channels (or even some clips that aren't exactly rare but...

I'd never heard of that one before (could it have been mentioned in guides on the wiki and I just don't remember? I'm pretty sure it hadn;t been on the Cookie Monster and Ernie sketches page before today). It feels like a first season sketch, since Ernie addresses Cookie Monster as "monster" and...
