    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I noticed one of the poll options saying when the show dropped from 130 episodes a season to 26. I will say that with Season 30, they dropped it to 65 episodes a season because of how introducing "Elmo's World" changed the tooling of the show enough that older episodes from prior seasons could...

    The Muppets SPOILER Thread

    It looks like ever since the 2011 Muppets film, Uncle Deadly has become one of the semi-main characters now! Hopefully if Disney makes new Muppet plushies soon, they'll make one of Uncle Deadly too!

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    The Sesame Street News segment with Kermit and the Five Little Pigs is back on YouTube! However, it's got the copyright-bypassing video-stabilization effect (the copy of Episode 0812 it was taken from already had it), but it's still good to see it again, with Jerry Nelson trying to hide the fact...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Another good case is Warner Bros.'s "Wabbit: a Looney Tunes Production" and "Be Cool Scooby-Doo" going to air on Boomerang, instead of regular Cartoon Network. Only a small percentage of people in America get Boomerang, so this means the shows may wind up getting low ratings.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    They could make them into spinoffs or something. Make "Elmo the Musical" into a separate half-hour show or something. But it is indeed the end of an era...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Great news: Tiny Dancer has uploaded the elusive "face morph" cartoon! I can see how it freaked out quite a few people; this was obviously made before loud synthesizer sounds like those became common in the household with early video game consoles. (I immediately thought "Nintendo" when I...

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    Uh, I thought the Pokemon Center became "Nintendo World" in 2006, selling both Mario and Pokemon merchandise and other stuff as well. It was like that when I last went there in December 2006.

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    No there wasn't, from what I saw. Besides, the NBC coverage doesn't seem to care about the balloons much anymore. When announcing the parade lineup at the start, they completely ignored the balloons as if they weren't there! I guess it's a tradition that is going to die soon...

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    That was Rosita! It's been a while since she had a solo in the parade, I think. And Count, yes I have an internal mental clock when it comes to this parade, too. And of course, ol' Oscar didn't want to sing with them.

    TV Alert: Sesame Street at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

    That was unusual: when they started the parade, they did NOT play the signature theme to "New York, New York" like they have for previous years. Instead they got a new theme song. What was up with that? Just mainly tuning into it now to see the Sesame float. When they announced it, it said on...

    Abby Cadabby plugs "5 Hour Energy!"

    This is based off an annoying commercial I have to see every day I work at Walmart, and there was a part that reminded me of a certain Sesame Street Muppet, I thought I'd let her take a stab at it! ... (The setting's in front of the 123 Sesame Street apartment. Abby Cadabby stands next to a...

    Sesame Street Season 45 Episode 4501 - School for Chickens

    Interesting they changed the format again a bit, but it's kind of about time. I wonder how long they will also continue to use the 2009 intro? I'll probably give it maybe two more years before they replace it again...

    New Mexico episodes

    How nice! I hope you don't mind if I then take the News Flash segment about the Five Little Pigs and upload it onto my YouTube channel as a separate video, so that can be back on YouTube again!

    Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

    The Humpty Dumpty news segment now has the original black-and-white "NEWS FLASH" logo at the start; initially it had the 1986 logo tacked onto the beginning (and you could briefly see part of the old logo when fading into the segment), this version is still used on the official Sesame Street...

    Arthur - Where is the Show Going?

    Yeah, it's sad about the loss of Mr. Haney's voice actor. His voice was noticeably old-sounding in Season 16's "Get Smart." Miss Turner (the librarian)'s voice actress is also sounding pretty old nowadays, too. However, compare Season 17 with Season 16. The animation is slightly improved: the...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    As for "M is for Mystery," Sesame Workshop seems really hesitant to release "Mysterious Theater" onto home video (maybe they think it will scare kids?) A mystery-themed DVD like this would be a PERFECT way to release one of them to home video (hopefully the "Missing Cat" one.) Or if not, maybe...
