    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    I recently saw a YouTube comment (I think it was on an upload of "The U/V Salesman") from somebody who said that Caroll felt claustophobic when performing in Anything Muppet segments. If that's true then it seems weird... In those Muppet inserts, it seems there's plenty of room to move around...

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    Considering that in the early years it was common for segments to use pre-recorded vocals on non-song segments (even if all the characters were only used in that one segment, meaning it wouldn't matter what they sound like), I wonder why they didn't have Loretta Long just dub the spoken dialogue...

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    Maybe because it was done on Sesame Street first? It seems like nothing that was done on Sesame Street was remade for variety show appearances (yeah, a few songs written for the show would be done again on the show and other appearances, but that doesn't count). Though Mahna Mahna premiered on...

    Questions about anything

    Or maybe the smurfs are all attracted to Smurfette without the attraction being for sexual reasons (I know, hard to believe...). But yeah, I was going to also say that just because Smurf women presumably can't have babies doesn't mean that Smurfs can't mate (I bet that would be any teenage...

    "Land of Gorch" Revisited

    Which sketch did you see? I like the ones that I saw, but I've read that the problem was that the SNL writers usually wrote them, but didn't want to write them (to the point that they actually drew straws to determine who wrote that week's sketch). Jim Henson did end up writing one of the...

    Questions about anything

    Are there any websites like The Muppet Mindset and The Mickey Mindset, where in addition to articles from the webmasters, the fans can also send in articles? That seems like a concept that should catch on with other fanbases. I'd like to see a Looney Tunes website like that.

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    I knew that Wanda the Witch was somehow involved in this. When Muppet Wiki first compiled episode guides taken from CTW Archives material, the page for the first five episodes included descriptions from detailed program guides (I think the first week of shows was the only ones from the first...

    Did any albums have...

    Dang it I still wasn't completely clear on what I meant. Okay, let's see if I can do this... I meant albums that had tracks originally recorded for the album, in addition to tracks from previous albums and/or audio tracks from the show itself.

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds

    I've wondered that about certain "holy grail" clips. Back when Henson #1 was unavailable to us, I had wondered if that one wouldn't be that great, but it turned out to be one of my top five favorite "baker films". And when I finally saw the original People in Your Neighborhood (with a postman...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    This morning, I found one of the biggest holy grails of Sesame Street on YouTube: The rare "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"!

    Did any albums have...

    I meant if there were any that had tracks recorded specifically for the album (not album debuts of the TV broadcast audio tracks).

    Which characters were in the most sought-after rare clips?

    Here's some more: Cookie Monster Weather map (I think this is the one that appears on a TV in that film insert that shows kids playing followed by adults doing jobs that are similar) Herbert Birdsfoot tests Cookie Monster (in English) Sherlock Hemlock helps Ernie find out who took his cookies...

    Did any albums have...

    So most Sesame Street albums were either new recordings or a collection of pre-existing material (whether the recordings were on previous albums or taken from the shows recordings), but have there ever been any Sesame Street albums that had both existing recordings and original recordings?

    What Muppet Fans Are Thinking About

    Lately, I've realized that the two Sesame Street albums The Sesame Street Book and Record and Sesame Street 2 are the only ones to not be tied to a theme, I guess because they are two of the earliest Sesame Street albums (though there were a few in-between them). Most albums were themed...

    For the first time on YouTube ever...

    I've been thinking about how Oscar's refusal to move thwarts Ronald Grump's plans... Maybe this special should have had something with the cast being really annoyed by Oscar, so they would really show their appreciation of Oscar when he saves the street. I wonder if Oscar was aware of the...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Which characters were in the most sought-after rare clips?

    Here's something that's been on my mind today: Which characters have been in the highest number of rare clips that we really want to see? I thought I'd try to tally up some for me. Of course, it's probably a given that characters who were primarily "street scene characters" (Big Bird, Oscar...

    The Adults and Snuffy

    Actually, I know that on Time for Beany, Cecil was originally only seen by Beany, with the others thinking Cecil was an imaginary friend, before the character was finally seen by the others (which I guess happened before the animated Beany and Cecil series). I don't know if the captain or other...
