This man had a very gentle voice and sang on several songs from the late 1970s / early 1980s. It was not Joe Raposo. Songs include: What's It Like To Be In School All By Myself (Well, Why Not?) Listen or You'll Be Missin' Does anyone know who wrote/sang these?

I was born in 1976, and probably started watching the series in late 1977, although I doubt that I'd be able to remember any episodes before 1979. I stopped watching regularly around 1983, so you might say I was one of the last of the purely "Hooper era" viewers. I remember wondering why he...

Actually, there was a changeover scene on screen for both Gordon transitions. Unfortunately these episodes were not included on Noggin. In episode 405, it is revealed that Gordon is in fact a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. When a Time Lord is killed, rather than dying, he is able to...

Geoffrey, I hope this isn't just a rumor!!!!

I'm not sure who it is, but putting that lady in the same episode with a blistering Stevie Wonder performance of "Superstition" made the song even more lame than it already would have been.

Boober_Gorg, you've got my support! (You already know that) ;)

His musical style represented the true spirit of SS to me. The 2nd muppet movie, The Great Muppet Caper, was scored completely by Raposo. It's worth checking out for the "Couldn't We Ride" segment alone. It was one of the best songs he ever wrote, and it would have easily worked as a SS film...

This was featured on an Unpaved episode, wasn't it?

Northern was such a young, cool, talented guy when he first joined the show, but he obviously had a lot of problems later on. It was sad the way his health and demeanor declined. He left a great legacy of work on Sesame Street that is, sadly, not very accessible to the general public. Hopefully...

Does anyone have this Cookie Monster skit? I've been looking for this one forever!

Sesame Mike, you have one fabulous memory. How old were you when you saw these shows?

Hey Count, I'd be glad to do that for you, except for the fact that it has probably already been done. Do a search of Jazzy Spies or Racecars Spies on this very forum, and you'll get descriptions of many, if not all, of the segments of this animated series. If you still have some gaps, let me...

I don't think there was a #1 Jazzy Racecars/Spies, because #10 includes characters from each of the numbers of the series. There are no characters unaccounted for (all appear in #2-9), so it's unlikely that they did a #1. However, I guess it's remotely possible that #1 didn't have a character or...

Hi All, I'd like to trade for the VH1 Sesame Street A-Z musical special that aired a few years ago. For trading, I have: All 67 Unpaved episodes in high quality. A number of rare SS specials. A few 80s non-Noggin episodes and a large collection of non-Noggin clips. If you have the...

How does that work? Can you order specific clips from them? Who do you contact? What do they charge?

If you don't mind me asking, how did you obtain this?

I almost wonder sometimes if it isn't a matter of pride.... Most of the people working on the current show were not part of the crew of the original show. They are overshadowed by the creative giants of the early years (Henson, Oz, Raposo, Moss, etc.) and often criticized by "old-time" fans...

Is it me, or is that a young Ted Koppel shown dancing with a lady in the live action film with the Raposo song "Two is you and me"?

I was thinking about this earlier today. Suppose a DVD set could be done for each season (pipe dreams, I know...). Each season set would be comprised of : 1. The "best of" street scenes for that year 2. Animations and live action introduced for the first time on that particular year This...

Based on the images of Joe Raposo from a documentary I have, he seems to make an appearance in several of the live action films for which he composed the music: "Everybody Sleeps" immediately comes to mind (at the very end: the man sleeping on the bench as the train goes by). Can anyone confirm...
