    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8afQWyYWmE Someone FINALLY re-uploaded another one of my all-time favorite Sesame Street News Flash segments! Note that it is in really high quality, and has NO Noggin logo on it! He must have gone deep down into the CTW archives or something! :D

    Some ways to improve Sesame Street

    That's right. They were in the test pilots. That's where the "Two Noses" skit comes from.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I actually made this clip myself. I meant it to be for my own personal enjoyment, but SOMEBODY snatched it from me and uploaded it to Youtube without MY permission! Needless to say, the old Viacom "V of Doom" logo plays as the Yakity Yakity Yak charges toward the screen...

    Main performers of silent characters

    It says on Muppet Wiki that David Rudman performed her.

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I take it you might have had some sort of fear of the Orange Gold Guy Smiley-type Anything Muppets due to your fears of the Spaceship Surprise Captain and Vincent Twice. You also mentioned that a lumberjack character mildly scared ya. I think that one was also an Orange Gold AM. Also, I think...

    Main performers of silent characters

    I think Velma Blank on "Squeal of Fortune" ("Sesame Street") was silent, but we know that David Rudman performed her.

    Hoots the Owl's eyes!

    Am I the only one who noticed something they changed with Hoots the Owl in recent years? It seems that they changed Hoots's eyes! The original version of Hoots (1985-2001 version) had these realistic owl-like eyes that looked really cute...

    Should the Around the corner set return for SS 40th birthday....

    Zoe debuted in 1992, the year they switched taping studios and the year they started using that crazy Calypso opening theme and the current closing credits. "Around the Corner" didn't come until a year later. Also, unlike other newer commonly-seen Muppets, Zoe is performed by one of the...

    Sesame Street TV References

    The new one from last Sunday. In it, the Simpsons' dog (Santa's Little Helper) becomes a police dog.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Sawing14s uploaded the early 1970s Sesame Street News Flash about Kermit witnessing the Wolf chasing Red Riding Hood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1aAlg8_sTw I'm also surprised that Richard Hunt performed Red Riding Hood instead of Frank Oz. Normally in these News Flash segments Jerry...

    Sesame Street TV References

    I just saw a Sesame Street reference on "The Simpsons" tonight! They had a blue sweatshirt with Big Bird killing Elmo!

    Some ways to improve Sesame Street

    OK, I am sorry. I just say that some of these changes are quite possible and can be done.

    Some ways to improve Sesame Street

    OK, today I saw Episode 4129 of "Sesame Street." It was a slight improvement over the 2004 episode I saw. I also got to see the full version of the current opening theme. It is basically another remix of the old "Sesame Street" intro but with more instruments, and of course, including the...

    Sesame Street Dream

    That Newsflash about the Count's cannonballs wound NEVER be made! It would be deemed as too scary for kids. Besides, the Count would NEVER be violent to Kermit! But the one about the Count's grandfather clock I could definitely see as a skit. OK, so a couple of nights ago, I had a REALLY odd...

    Am I the only one who didn't like the Calypso Theme Song?

    The new opening was a slight change, but the rest of the show was unaffected. "Around the Corner" was a big change, because they introduced loads of new characters that were partially unneccesary and kept doing plots about the AtC location, and the use of the new theme didn't help. The 1998...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    I can see why Kevin Clash did several singing characters... he was the first REAL African-American Muppeteer, if I'm not mistaken

    Sesame Street Season 38 Preview

    Also, the corporate motto for Chuck E. Cheese is "Where a kid can be a kid." (I don't know if it still is.) However, the commercials for Chuck E. Cheese say "The real cool place to be a kid." Yet the PBS bumpers for Chuck E. Cheese claim it as "PBS Kids, where a kid can be a kid." Google...

    Sesame Workshop and dates

    Another thing is "The Song of the Count" on the Old School DVD set. They say it's from 1972 while all other sources say it's from 1974. The "Rapunzel" skit, also labeled as from 1972, is probably from 1971. I think the reason they chose the Rapunzel skit for that DVD set is because it was...

    Nighttime version of the SS theme

    That video is now called "Sleepytime Stories and Songs." I grew up with it as a kid and enjoyed seeing the characters in it. "If Moon Was Cookie" was such a nice, calm-sounding song. If only I could find the year it debuted. I am guessing it is from between 1978 and 1986 since it looks like it's...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Here's an unusual Mysterious Theater skit. Vincent Twice's room looks DIFFERENT here! Also, it doesn't have the "Mysterious Theater" title card. Was it cut off by mistake? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM9BhHRpI_Y
