Does Disney hope to buy the rights to Sesame Street? If not, did Disney include a copyright notice anywhere in the game saying that the Yip Yip Martians are owned by Sesame Workshop?

The Wikipedia article on bubble pipes says bubble pipes existed when "Alphabet Chat" and "Monsterpiece Theater" sketches debuted.

It's kind of too close to the real thing and in fact considered mock smoking. I have seen children's media in which they have made characters smoke bubble pipes instead of the real thing, and we kind of know it's supposed to be smoking. In fact, people I have talked to agree that bubble pipes...

So why aren't there flies buzzing all over the lender when the lender says "And you won't find a better offer anywhere" and "It really is an exceptional offer"?

Does "literally smell BS", "they might not have also smelled it" and "smelling correctly" refer to not believing what this bank has said, or does it refer to the feces of a male cow from a farm behind the bank?

Well, why would other people at that bank smell BS?

What does "that smell" in Lenny's line at the end of the commercial refer to? And why is Lenny asking if anybody else at that bank smells BS?

But the current generation of children who watch the current version of Sesame Street wouldn't necessarily know that it was once a co-production of Henson. And the people who were at the age for Sesame Street (and watched it) in the first few years that Disney owned the Muppets are now adults...

Here's a Lending Tree commercial in which the mascot for Lending Tree, Lenny, was built by Jim Henson Creature Shop: 1. Why does Lenny take a whiff after listening to what the lender says in the commercial? 2. When Lenny says"I smell BS" does he mean that he smells the feces of a male cow...

We know that the rights to the term "Muppet" were included in the sale of the Muppet characters from the Jim Henson Company to Disney in 2004. Three years earlier, the rights to the Sesame Street characters which had previously been co-owned by both Sesame Workshop (in those days it was called...

As a matter of fact, Season 30 was what the book "Sesame Street Unpaved" was written in time for, and that's how I know that Don Music was abandoned because of complaints from parents that kids were imitating Don Music's head-banging.

I was thinking the same thing-If Sesame Workshop still has the complaints from parents about children imitating Don Music's head-banging that got Don Music abandoned, maybe they could put them online.

Yes, he did. It's in episode 2035 and 2285.

Well, did the inundation of complaints from parents about kids imitating Don Music's head banging come before or after the death of Don Music's performer, Dick Hunt?

When Sing Yourself Silly came to DVD, they kept the Don Music segment in there. In fact, I was surprised they kept it because it came to DVD AFTER the character was discontinued because of complaints about kids imitating his head-banging.

Muppet Wikia says that in 2001 Mattel produced a See n Say of People in Your Neighborhood. One of the pictures to point the arrow at and pull the lever was Prairie Dawn as a judge. Does anybody know what the See n Say would say if one aimed the arrow at the aforementioned picture and pulled...

I hope they wouldn't do that. I didn't like the running gag of adults not believing Big Bird about Snuffy. Since I have read about why the running gag ended (they were worried this was teaching kids "Don't tell your parents if something unusual happened, they won't believe you"), I would want...

I wonder if that's why at the end of 1999 well into 2000 the Boston PBS affiliate WGBH 2 aired Sesame Street at 5 PM on its sister channel WGBX select 44, which in those days aired programming for adults the majority of the weekday, while the main channel (WGBH 2) aired programming for kids from...

Yes, I remember the P-Pals from when I was a kid. I also remember in 1997 there was a set of clips in between PBS shows called Read Earth that used to recommend books to the audience. Some of them were The Wump World by Bill Peet, The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. Can somebody please upload these Read...

fuzzygobo, if you were too old to watch the Richard Scarry videos that I mentioned, how did you know they existed?
