    Simon Soundman appreciation thread

    It makes sense; they're both made out of the same puppet pattern, and they're both voiced by Jerry Nelson. And some people commenting on that skit actually thought that was Fat Blue in that skit when they were younger! Yes, Simon Soundman was awesome. He kinda reminded me of Gerald...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Here's one... Usually I wasn't bothered by Natalie the Cow. But her moo in "Boogie Woogie Piggies" at one part freaked the **** out of me as a kid! (Pardon my language). It's when they first show Chip (or is it Dip?) doing the tango with a sheep. It didn't sound like one of her normal sounds...

    The Official "I'm looking for/trying to remember a sketch" thread

    I seem to remember a Grover skit from when I was little. Grover was, I think, on the brick wall, and I believe it was on a black background and he was talking about the letter "R." There was a white "R" next to him. Grover mentioned at one part that "R" is the first letter in the word "rocket,"...

    REJECTED SST Old School Disclaimers

    "The skits presented in this DVD set are uncut and may contain questionable imitative behavior. Please review these segments before showing them to your child." (Hey, I know this because they left Prince Charming's "OH SHUT UP!" at the end of the Rapunzel News Flash segment intact.)

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 39

    I assume the Fix It Shop was moved to another building on Sesame Street, much like the Furry Arms Hotel was after the Around the Corner set was dropped.

    Sesame Street Dream

    Whoa. Well I think it's good to have someone who grew up with Sesame Street in the early-mid 1970s on this forum! Sometimes it seems many of us here grew up with the 1980s/1990s Sesame Street (like I did, I grew up with the early 1990s version).

    Goodfeathers

    I always loved the Goodfeathers when I was a kid. Seeing Pesto start a fight always made me smile or laugh, the way he'd shout "THAT'S IT!" and the next thing you know there'd be a huge fight cloud! And Bobby's "Are you lookin' at me?"/"Are you talkin' to me?"/"Are you quacking at me?" (he said...

    Eddie Deezen

    I DID find him annoying as the Caliph in "Scooby-Doo's Arabian Nights," but that whole movie was awful anyways (it was a rip-off of "Tiny Toon Adventures" and "Animaniacs," IMHO), and I remember when Gibby Norton showed up in an episode of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" I was checking out, I...

    Caroll Spinney, Season 40 Article

    In the first appearance I couldn't even tell it was Jerry Nelson OR Caroll Spinney due to the heavy modulation. Heck, even Fran Brill would've done just as good a job with Sam the Robot! Besides, Jerry Nelson WAS also performing Snuffy at that time (the front half)

    What if Sesame Street was ANIMATED ?

    That might work. And if it were animated in the 1970s, DePatie-Freleng could've done an animated Sesame Street series. (DePatie-Freleng was the old name for Marvel Productions). Also, Joe Raposo worked for DePatie-Freleng before; he scored "Halloween is Grinch Night" and "Pontoffel Pock, Where...

    SST Episode Outline: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street (an adaptation)

    SESAME STREET EPISODE LAYOUT: Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street NOTE: This will be done as a modern-style episode like the past season, since I think adapting a book like this would seem to be better suited as a single street story, IMO. This episode is adapted from the Golden Book...

    The animator of the first episodes....

    That is pretty neat. However, I recently found out the 1986 (or was it 1987?) opening sequence was also animated by Toei as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwaddpsKdKg Even though by this time the Japanese animators got more comfortable with the characters and made their movements...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets Letters to Santa

    I DVRd the special, watching it right now as I speak. Pretty cool special, and great to see that the Muppets still got it, even in 2008! I loved the relationship of Gonzo and Clara, and Fozzie was awesome as usual! Eric Jacobson did a very good job with Piggy and Fozzie, at some points I...

    1991-1993 Transitional Years

    I believe most of those changes occured due to when Teletape went bankrupt, forcing the CTW crew to move the Sesame Street set to the Kaufman Astoria studios. The show's main opening and closing credits weren't the only titles that changed that year either. "Monsterpiece Theater" and "The...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yes, that was the intro to Mysterious Theater. It was parodying the scene in the real "Mystery!" intro at the :10 mark in this clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAmGsM4Dids As a kid I thought the "Mysterious Theater" intro was a little freaky, but I wasn't scared of Vincent Twice...
