Hopefully the Abby segments won't be in EVERY episode, similar to how "Ernie and Bert's Great Adventures" isn't in every episode (great segment series BTW, and I was happy to finally see them last year when they showed them as part of "Sesame Street!") I think a good idea would be to alternate...

Actually, I heard that there IS going to be a new Scooby-Doo TV series for 2009, entitled "Scooby-Doo - Mystery Inc." Not much details, but I hope it's better than the insult that was "What's New Scooby-Doo." Ever since Warner Bros. Animation took over producing Scooby-Doo cartoons in 1998...

They have that 1990s "WALK/DON'T WALK" skit I remember! The one that has the fast jazzy rock music and the kids saying "Walk" and "DON'T walk!"

WooT! I always love it when they make Halloween rubber masks and costumes of characters like that! But now on to my judging... The Kermit the Frog adult costume is pretty interesting, I have to admit. It does stink that it doesn't come with the feet and that the mask only covers the front of...

It's a good thing I never saw the I-Beam skit when I was little. It had a Nightmare scare factor! The dark setting, red-hot I beam and that dramatic music score (that sounds like something that would accompany a war movie!), not to mention that video freeze at the end as a drumroll is heard...

1989. BTW, I saw the I-Beam there too. I was surprised they decided to put it under "Science and Technology." I thought it would've been in the Letters/Alphabet heading. I guess CTW finally figured it out that it isn't as good to show as part of teaching the letter "I." (I have heard rumors...

It might be because of the unavailability of certain voices. For instance, Sonia Manzano was unavailable to voice Maria in "Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street," and if Fran Brill voiced Maria using the voice she used in the video, kids would instantly know it's not really Maria, so they...

Now that the original version of the 1969 skit about Bert and Ernie's blackout is on YouTube, I have taken the liberty of doing my "modernized" version of the skit... (We start on Ernie and Bert watching TV, a rather loud DVD of some old Western movie.) Bert: Hey Ernie… Ernie I’m tired...

Yay, it's Bert and Ernie's Blackout!

I liked how they added Count von Count in MADtv form, but the skit didn't make me laugh. However, I DID take the liberty of taking screencaps of it for the Muppet Wiki entry... http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/MADtv#Childhood_Obesity

Yeah, I hate the way it just says "Sesame Street Muppets" now. It should at least say "Jim Henson's Sesame Street Muppets," even if they don't credit Jim Henson in the Muppeteer cast list

Yep. In my Creative Dramatics class for my project on something related to Childrens' Dramatics, I did it on the history of Sesame Street! I did a PowerPoint slideshow, then I played a montage of Sesame Street intro sequences (we had already seen the 1969-1992 opening, so my montage included the...

As for the Turtles, I know in the second season, A-1 Productions did the animation, but in subsequent seasons I am not entirely sure who did the rest of the animation. I know Wang Film Productions did some TMNT animation in the early 1990s, and I think Akom may have been involved at one point.

Yeah, I noticed that too. In fact, I recognized a few other familiar voices in some Golden Book Videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n0sMfBA8WU Hamilton (the first pig) sounds a LOT like Greg Berg doing the voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic_hgPU8J28 Herbert the Timid Dragon...

I'm sure some of you remember those goofy Sesame Street-related "storybook video" tapes that Golden Book Video released in 1985: "Three Sesame Street Stories" and "Five Sesame Street Stories" (both later combined into an hour-long video entitled "Eight Super Sesame Street Stories"). Well, last...

I guess you're right, but the voice sounds greatly familiar.

Apologize for bumping this thread, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq5_Nt26lY0 The game show host in this "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (the DiC version) episode's voice sounds like a dead-ringer for Gary Owens. Was that actually him doing the voice?

The reason for that was because the audio was taken from a record album that had a track with Cookie Monster and "another monster" that Jim Henson voiced. I guess they decided to use the Herry puppet for that one, though Jerry Nelson has been Herry's performer since Day One.

Herry Monster has always been one of my favorites ever since I was little. He IS cute, and Jerry Nelson did a great job voicing him. I remember how in the books and on merchandise, Herry Monster almost always wore pants. Usually they would be white with pink stripes (though Tom Cooke often...

I've always loved Hoots the Owl ever since I was a kid. He was definitely cool. I also liked his realistic owl-like eyes and the moving eyelid mechanism. Wasn't he one of the first SS Muppets that could actually blink and all that stuff? Wasn't too big on the variation in the "Cookie is a...
