    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    When I read the DVD Talk review and saw that one of the bonus clips mentioned was Rainy Day Song, I thought the song title sounded familiar, though I thought it was a song sung by Bob (forgetting that that one is from the early 1970s). Then I looked it up on Muppet Wiki, and seeing the image...

    See the "A" icon? That's text color. If you change the text to white, text will appear invisible. The only way to make white text visible is to highlight. And that's how you can hide spoilers.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Do the episodes have introductions like the first two sets do? Are there any "disclaimers" that the set is intended for nostalgiac adults? I feel like there's a way but not entirely sure.

    Top ten lines from the Back to the Future trilogy: 10. "Great Scott!" "I know, this is heavy." 9. "Nobody... Calls me... Chicken" 8. "Hey, Chuck, it's Marvin. You're cousin, Marvin Berry. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well listen to this!" 7. "What do you mean you've seen it? It's...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I'm pretty sure I know what that is. I've seen the back cover which has an image and I know it was in season 11.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Doesn't the booklet list the bonus segments? Does the set contain any "Teeny Little Super Guy" segments? Does the set include any of the following rare characters from this era: Aristotle, Deena and Pearl, or Leslie Mostly? I know that many older episodes have the theme music playing at...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Here's another review: http://www.ksitetv.com/dvd-reviews/dvd-review-sesame-street-old-school-volume-3/17376 It doesn't mention what bonus segments are included, but it does mention something unfortunate: The episodes are presented without the original opening sequence. I don't know why that...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I wonder if that would include the "Goodbye, Mr. Hooper" storyline, though the review and packaging seem to refer to it seperate from the "extra clips". I thought the review text specifically referred to those as the only behind-the-scenes clips. Maybe the "more" refers to other bonus...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Hopefully there'll be more clips than just what was listed there. The review lists them as "highlights", which suggests it's not all of them. So there's only four behind-the-scenes clips included? Still, good to know that three of them are behind-the-scenes footage not on the 40th anniversary...

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    And I hope this means Lionsgate will stop taking down Henson-owned clips (though I've read that videos have been taken down because of copyright claims from companies that USED TO have temporary rights to content in the video long before YouTube was invented). I only have the first season of...

    Yeah, I think the last strip had to do with the geekier fan learning the news that the Henson children bought back the company. I think I read on the forum that there were plans for a great series of strips, can't remember what was actually said (at the time I had the feeling it was something...

    Family Circus movie (facepalm)

    I haven't really noticed there being more Peanuts merchandise than there had been in the past decade, though I do notice the Peanuts merchandise.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    The reason it wasn't higher on my list of the best comic strips is because when I think of the Muppets, I usually don't think of the comic strip (as far as licensed products go I very likely think of the Palisades figures and Boom comic books before thinking of the strip). Also, I didn't grow up...

    Family Circus movie (facepalm)

    I haven't really noticed much Garfield merchandise in the last year (only books and DVDs). I haven't neccessarily been looking for Garfield merchandise, but if the strip was over-licensed I should have seen a lot of stuff without looking for it. When I read about Bill Watterson's lack of...

    Jim Henson's Early years of success

    Sam and Friends was only seen in the Washington, D.C. area. The Muppets' first national television appearance was on The Tonight Show. Not sure how they got to become national. Maybe it was word-of-mouth popularity from Washington, D.C. I don't know what led to Jim being offered his own...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    The character was recently revived for a new comic strip series simply titled Opus, but he'd originated in a comic strip called Bloom County. I think the newer Opus strips feature other characters from the Bloom County strip, which ended a long time ago (I want to say 1994, but I'm not sure)...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    For a long time I thought the comic strip was called "Opus n Bill". I guess part of that has to do with the "A Wish for Wings That Work" special starring them (I think they were billed that way).

    Where exactly did Doc live?

    I've wondered that as well. I think in one of the animated episodes he gets ready for bed and goes out the front door of the workshop. Especially odd since we only see one room of the workshop and no other parts of his home.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Well, I don't really care for "What's Opera, Doc?" too much, aside from the "kill the wabbit" song (though in recent years I've come to appreciate the animation better). I was never too fond of the short when I was a kid, and since growing up I feel it's overrated (I know, "and Duck Amuck, Duck...
