Welcome to the quest. :) I'm also looking for episodes from about that era. If you don't have any Sesame St. episodes to trade with, it's possible that you may have something else on video that someone would want. You may want to consider putting together a trade list of what you have to...

Understand that I'm a "computer video newbie" in many ways, but I will try to help out: Unless your camera gives you another option, you are probably stuck with using Quicktime to view the video files. If you're uncomfortable downloading conversion software (and I don't blame you!) , you may...

That sounds about right - my earliest Sesame memories are from 1975 or so, and I don't recall seeing the opening cartoons back then. The first time I recall seeing one was when they showed it in an "Unpaved" episode.

Another cool strip! :) Thanks for sharing that one. Say, does anybody remember the B.C. Thanksgiving and Christmas TV specials? They're pretty old now, but I remember the Thanksgiving one was shown in the 1970s and the Christmas one in the late 80s, I think.

That's hillarious! :) Thanks for sharing that one. I also was lucky enough to read some of the B.C. paperbacks when I was younger. I remember enjoying the strip very much & I still try to read it whenever I get to read the funnies. Johnny Hart was a great talent, and until we see him again, he...

Me too! Although even having just clips would be quite amazing, assuming it was a large enough library of clips to choose from. We'll just have to wait & see how it all turns out.

Just a few quick thoughts from a college grad: College is not perfect. It does not guarantee a job later on. While you will learn a lot, college often does not teach you the truly important things. On the other hand, college can help quite a bit. It can give you a taste of what certain...

You're on to something, Muppet Dude! I do remember one more example of Herry saying "ya." It's in the "Sesame Street cook book" from the early 1980s, I think. A cartoon Herry is telling Guy Smiley how many people a certain dish will serve. Herry replies something like, "This will serve one. Ya."...

Thanks for that, D'Snowth! That's probably actually what would have happened. Though they may have been sad at losing their prized possessions, they would have been glad to remember why they gave them up in the first place. Very cool!

This had better not be an early April Fool's Day joke, ssetta. . . :) Thanks for letting us know! As anytimepally said, there definitely is a potential for great things here. What would REALLY be cool would be if we could somehow search for specific skits or episodes by inputting keywords or...

With the old Fisher-Price Sesame Street playsets, Mr. Hooper's apartment was just above his store. (At least I assume it was his, since it had a portrait of Big Bird on the wall that was signed something like, "To my good friend, Mr. Blooper.") :) Of course, that doesn't mean that that is...

Yes indeed, this is great news! I'm considering biting the bullet and going into the world of iPods. But I'm hoping somebody can help an iTunes newbie answer a question. . . I have been told that it's not possible to save an iTunes video onto a DVD or VHS. On the other hand, I've been told...

Sounds cool! I was surprised to learn that a number of movies have been made into stage musicals within the last few years, including "Mary Poppins," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie." Sounds like a trend.

Thank you both for your good wishes. I'll save some cake for you! :)

I do remember this episode & I THINK it may have been shown as a "123 Sesame Street" on Noggin. A fun episode. Perhaps someone can confirm something for me. When they go to the bird sanctuary to look for a home for Floyd, they meet up with a female birdwatcher with dark hair & glasses. I am...

He's referring to my birthday. Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, the "Ides of March" is the day that Julius Caesar was killed by Brutus, prompting him (in the play) to say the classic line, "Et tu, Brute?" (You too, Brutus?) Thought it was my birthday. . . :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March

No, but it was definitely a fun show. Similar to the CTW-produced "3-2-1 Contact." Here's a link to more about it: http://www.newtonsapple.tv/

Cool memories! Thanks for sharing the story of Gina's "debut." I don't remember it, but I do remember some of her early appearances on the show. I remember seeing that one on Noggin as well - It was first shown after Gina had debuted on the show (whenever that was). She was a "supporting"...

I'm sure no offense was intended. This is just a total "shot in the dark," so it may not be what you're looking for, but there was a Sesame Street animated clip of a tall guy with a short mustache. It was set to a limerick that went like this: A jolly old fellow named Joe Once said to...

I enjoy it, but I also enjoy thrift store shopping once in a while. I never find anything REALLY valuable, but I do ocassionally find some small treasures. And I can usually afford them. :)
