I have to say it was the best episode of Sesame Street I've ever seen - and I've been watching SS on and off for 30 years. The "On the street" segment was absolutely stupendous: touching and fun. Karaoke was a terrific idea for bringing all the characters together at the opening, and...

Here's what I just recieved from the Sesame Street newsletter: ***SESAME STREET BEAT The new Sesame Street season begins next week! On Monday, it’s Karaoke night at Hooper’s and everyone is getting ready to sing! As usual, Telly is very nervous, but his pal Baby Bear is right there by...

When I was working as a puppeteer in Cincinnati I might have met him. I always wanted to find out if he was the man who came to my show and encouraged me to continue performing; I worked for another five years because of him. The man I met said he was headed to New York City, where he was...

She's also in the fairly recent video "The Great Computer Caper"

I don't know if this is it, but it wouldn't be difficult to pre-record the voice and have it run off a DAT, just as you would do sound effects in live theatre. The sound board op just has to be on their toes. Of course, that's assuming that they aren't letting the kids in on the...

As whats-her-annoying-name would say - "Definitely!" Children's shows can be immune to "going out on a low" syndrome; I think kid's performers are more invested in a single project than other performers are, and I also think that there are many people in the talent pool out there keeping it...

I don't think mixing seasons matters to kids - look at Mr. Rogers They're now showing episodes from the late 80's, back when his hair still was salt-and-pepper. My son doesn't care. I do like that they seem to be keeping individual seasons together, and I think that's the key - show 1 "new"...

Folks, if all of this is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn't) then we all need to start a letter-writing campaign to PBS. Anybody want to come up with some text? I have been pretty dissapointed with the new PBS Kids lineup; strikes me that they're cutting corners a little too...

Padum- pum, CSHHH! LOL

Bob's apartment showed up this last season; I think it's still above the store - he and Linda don't seem to be together (didn't that come up as an issue years ago?). The episode where Zoe learns to play the trombone is largely acted out in his apartment. Also he sticks his head out the...

I love Alan, too ! You know, it's a testament to Sesame Street that they hire people who might not make it on Broadway despite the fact that they are loaded with talent. What a great place to showcase talent for talent's sake and not have to consider whether a person is physically "right" for...

Well...mine's going to PRESCHOOL in the fall... Sorry; just being catty. Still curious what people with older kids have to say - you know, early grade-school.

Can't go there with you! 'Course it was the only show we watched as a family (my parents weren't particularly into Battlestar Galactica, Wonder Woman, or The Love Boat - and time has mostly been on their side) and maybe that's why I loved it so much. I can't wait until my son's old enough...

Pino, that's great! I love the clip of "Rubber Ducky" and the giant Ernie in the tub!

Well... I was born in 1967, (creak...creak) raised on a steady diet of both SS and TMC, and I have to agree with dcfboss. Not that I don't love Kermit on TMC; he was probably the only character that could have pulled the whole thing together. But you have to admit, although he was the host...

I remember those from when I was a kid - I saw the one on this season, too. I think there are more of them, with similar Rube Goldberg-style machines

My husband's comment: "It's Ross Perot and the Fruit Stripe Gum icon!"

Funny, nobody's mentioned Big Bird! You know, I gotta go with where my loyalties are, but it wouldn't be Sesame Street without him!

Another thought Though not used often on the muppets (dunno about Sweetums) Henson productions is famous for another type of animation that they used primarily in Dinosaurs, called a WALDO (I don't know what the acronym is for, but you may find it in a search engine) I remember seeing a...

To add to the more information than you need category... Sorry, just haven't talked about this in years, and I'm having fun. The biggest hurdle I had to overcome when learning muppet-style puppets was that you have to move your thumb DOWN, not your fingers up, as is natural when making a...
