I think this is incredibly foolish of the Raposo estate. You'd think they'd cut a special deal for Sesame Street. I mean, where else will his great, underappreciated work be heard? I guess they'd rather let his brilliant musical pieces fade into obscurity before they'd charge less money. On the...

Wow, jeffkjoe, are you pulling my leg? That's quite a find! What other episodes do you have in your collection? Maybe we can do some trades. please e-mail me at cdvorak@tulane.edu. Chris

Before the Hal Miller Gordon, before the ill-fated Raul Julia/Charlotte Rae period of SS, there was Miguel. He may be the most obscure adult regular that was ever on the show. I don't see him mentioned very much. There were four adult regulars during the original 1969/1970 season: Gordon...

I'm concerned about this. I wonder if the Sesame Workshop people considered the Unpaved run to be a success or a failure. When Noggin first launched, I believe that the Unpaved series was one of its selling points. When it was ultimately cancelled, the Noggin execs (not the Sesame Workshop...

I watch some of the animated pieces in the old episodes and I'm thinking, how did they come up with this stuff? To what extent do you think the psychedelic/drug culture had an influence on SS, if at all? I'm not just talking about classics like the Racecars/Spies segment that taught about...

I've asked the question before, but not in this forum. Between the years 1972 and 1974, three different actors are playing the role of Gordon. Does anyone remember watching the show around that time? Were you confused or befuddled by these cast changes, or did you not really notice? I would...

Has anyone noticed that different characters have appeal when watching the show in adulthood versus childhood? For example, Big Bird is much less appealing to me now; he was mainly for the kids. However, characters like Bert, Oscar, and Grover are much more interesting now as I notice all the...

Joe Raposo's jazzy, breezy music set to the live action films sort of epitomizes all that is great about classic SS for me. Remove those sections, and you remove much of the "essence" of what made the show so great back then. Does anyone agree?

As fans of David know, the character changed drastically from the 1970s to the 1980s. After going back through the Unpaved episodes, I start to notice changes in David by the time Buffy comes along, in 1977. His voice is starting to get that husky quality that we associate with 80s David, and...

The Elmo character was actually around during the tail end of when I originally watched the show. He had a different voice, sort of like Harry Monster's, husky but at a higher pitch. I'm pretty sure he interacted with Mr. Hooper too... despite what the Special wanted us to believe (maybe they...

Oh, here's: Part 2 of "Streetwise" Article

Quote from archive worker in the above discussion regarding preservation and the Noggin/Unpaved factor: "There were in fact 2 projects. They were started at the same time. The actual preservation project of the entire 30 years content was done by VidiPax and was scheduled to be done in 9...

You're meaning to tell me that all of the SS episodes will be available on the internet, but we won't be able to view them??? OK, we need either: a. One of us to get a job at Sesame Workshop b. One of us to befriend someone who works there Folks, we've got work to do. Let's get to it.

It was kind of an inside joke for hardcore Unpaved fans. Don't feel bad if you don't "get it".

The Count asks, is 9 the number of the day? If 9 had been the number of the day, we would have seen the elusive number 9 falling baker sketch with :sympathy: . Naturally, we forgot to count little you-know-who... so there are 10 monsters! The number of the day is 10! Oh well. There was...

He wrote a children's book too? http://Info

As you can tell from the title, I am desparately looking for an MP3 or some kind of audio copy of this vintage Raposo classic. I believe it was included on the 2nd SS Record, but any version will do. Please reply if this is possible and we can get in contact! :p

It's a shame that SS Unpaved is not on Noggin anymore. There seems to be quite a trading system going now. If you don't mind me tooting my own horn a bit, here's a little internet history. In early 2002, Mark "the Shark" and I had just acquired Noggin around the same time and were...

Wow. The Northern Calloway saga just gets stranger and stranger. Hey Mark!!! :sympathy:
