I agree Burr was doing smart/funny puppetry on national TV before The Muppets hit the big time. The thing that really makes me say WOWs that he performed Kukla & Ollie all by himself.

I attended a lecture given by Caroll Spinney last week at Miami University. Many college students were nearly begging for early Sesame Street on DVD. He suggested writing to Sesame Workshop. I registered with the HTF to add my 2 cents on classic Sesame DVD releases. Best of boxsets would...

Great news, but... I canceled SCI FI because they canceled Farscape (and Lexx, Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, and Good Vs. Evil). I'll wait for the DVD. :grouchy:

Gooby looks really cool, do you perform with him or are you just a builder? Tell us more about the puppetry scene Down Under, is there a Sesame Street (or a SS style) program on TV? I am sure you have seen Farscape, it is made in Australia too. Puppet Power! (click on my sig to learn...

Me too I am also from the first generation of Sesame viewers, infact my wife and I are too old to be Generstion X so about 8 years ago I began saying we are from the Sesame Street Generation. I guess that could mean anyone who watched the show in the last 35 years...oh well it still sounds...

How about DVDs? Can anyone guess why old episodes aren't being released on DVD? My guess is money. If anyone has any insight into this, please share it with us. thanks :)

You've got the best available I would love to see Sesame Workshop release complete seasons of Sesame Street on DVD starting with the first show from 1969. :)

Not so special Although Elmo doesn't annoy me as much as he does others, I could have done with less of him. I would have liked to have seen more of the cast/puppets "remembering" old neighbors (Mr. Hooper, David, Ruthie) old Muppets (S.A.M., Little Bird, Roosevelt Franklin, and Don Music)...

Big Bird on Flip Wilson DVD Caroll Spinney performed as Big Bird & Oscar the Grouch on several of Flip Wilson's variety shows in the early 70's. There is a DVD available from Rhino :grouchy:

I have not seen it, but I am sure that it's not the official Big Bird but a look alike used to lampoon The Muppets. See this thread

Jim's message to his children "Please watch out for each other and love and forgive everybody. It's a good life, enjoy it" I think that this sentence speaks volumes.

Although I am a fan of "classic" Sesame, I am looking forward to this special. What I really want is DVDs from the first season, when I watched it as a kid. :)

Cool! I am thinking of attending, since Bloomington is within driving distance from my home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Anyone else going? :confused:

You bet! I am so excited to meet Caroll again. I met him when I was a child in the early 70's. :grouchy:

You are as young as you feel. I find that our society puts too much importance on age. What does "act your age" mean anyway? Everyone is different, so everyone acts different for "their age". I belive that people force themselves to act "older", and avoid or forget the things that brought...

Old? What's that? I am 39 years young, and often forget my age...then my back aches ;)
