    the last News Flash

    Yes he did. This was the last time the 1971 Sesame Street News Flash theme (written by Joe Raposo) was used in a new segment, despite having a different title card (it wasn't the cloud/lightning one we all know). All other new Sesame Street News segments started with Kermit in front of a desk as...

    Sesame Street Sketch Database

    I hate to say this, but several of the dates are actually wrong for the skits. Here are correct dates for some to my knowledge... Sesame Street News: Rapunzel (1971) Sesame Street News: The Pig's Straw House (1971) Sesame Street News: Christopher Columbus (1971-1972) Sesame Street News...

    the last News Flash

    Another News Flash made during the waning days of the skits was "The Princess and the C."

    Female Construction Worker Muppet that said "Yo."

    Oh thank you! That really helps a lot! :D

    Female Construction Worker Muppet that said "Yo."

    Hey, this has been bugging me for some time, and I'd like some help. I couldn't find a pic of this character or any info on Muppet Wiki, so here is how I will describe her... She was a female Muppet (a female Fat Blue Anything Muppet, for that matter), and she had on a hard-hat and did...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    This seems to be a popular thread. Let's see if I could contribute... When I was really wee, I used to find the Sesame Street News Flash title card a little unnerving, maybe cause of the black background and high-contrast colors and Jerry Nelson's announcer voice. (Since I was born in the...

    S.S, Parody on Robot Chicken 11/19 11:30pm est

    They did do an Inspector Gadget parody. Maurice did a better Gadget than usual. Not only did they have Frank Welker in the voice cast there, they also had Cree Summer voice Penny! (her original voice actress from 1983-1984) I thought that Sesame skit was FUNNY! They made it a bit reminiscent...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn7bxxusar0 This News Flash is so cool! I love the low-budget special effects used here. It looks like they taped the Lavender Pinocchio Muppet to the cardboard wall and put a hole through the center of the puppet and put a broom through it with the handle...

    Magic Mirror Newsflash Question

    That's one of the few News Flashes to feature a real human in the skit. Frank Oz performed the Witch, since Jerry Nelson. was the mirror (usually it's Jerry who does the witches). To tell you the truth, I think Frank Oz does a better witch than Jerry. Another News Flash with Jerry Nelson...

    Old skit I remember...

    I think they should do some Sesame Street segments about those new digital crosswalk signals with countdown timers on them! I have seen several of them in different cities, and Washington D.C. has them at almost every intersection...

    Muppet Family Christmas: Official Talkback Forum

    Nice, but unfortunately, it's the "totally hacked" version. I'll have to settle with the copy I taped from Nickelodeon back in 1994. Anyways, why IS there thunder when the Swedish Chef sees Big Bird? Was the Count counting something or what? Also for thunder in this special, they don't use...

    Your Thoughts: A Sesame Street Christmas Carol DVD

    I saw it On Demand, and I thought it was kind of interesting. Aside from the CGI characters, it almost seems the new segments were taped in the 1980s or 1990s. I was also shocked when I read it was going to be a clip show, but I was glad to see a clip from "Christmas Eve on Sesame Street,"...

    Muppet Family Christmas: Official Talkback Forum

    Well, it's Christmastime again! Let's begin our discussion about this timely classic, as an annual sort of thing maybe. BTW, I started this thread anyways. I am SO glad I still have my Nickelodeon copy of the film from 1994, though I will probably never get to see Fozzie's stocking or the...

    Henson logo descriptions from the CLG

    I also made up my own descriptions for the classic Sesame Street News Flash title cards, in the same style... Sesame Street News 1st Logo (1971- present) Nicknames: "Newsflash logo," "The Cloud outline," "The Bolt," etc. Logo: On a black background, we see a puffy cloud outline...

    Henson logo descriptions from the CLG

    Besides a Muppet fan, I am also a member of the Closing Logo Group. We talk about classic logos seen on movies and television. We also write descriptions of logos, too. Here are how they work... Logo: Describes what happens in it. SFX: Lists the animation/effects used in the logo...

    The New Scooby-Doo Movies w/ the Sesame Street cast

    :D That was very funny! I imagine it would be all animated, with the Muppet performers and Sesame Street cast doing their respective voices for the Sesame characters. I think they would probably look like Joe Mathieu's designs. Anyways, if this was supposed to be 1972 or 1973 (when the show...

    Is Baby Bear Jewish?

    But Snuffy was vising his granny for Christmas in "Elmo Saves Christmas." I think Roosevelt Franklin would've celebrated Kawanza. But if we needed a current character for that, we could have Hoots the Owl. He DOES sound like a black person (no surprise, since he's performed by Kevin Clash, a...

    Sesame Street News: Wee Willie Winkie

    I'm surprised Kermit the Frog didn't cover this nursery rhyme. So I decided to make this up... SESAME STREET NEWS FLASH: WEE WILLIE WINKIE Like most of Kermit’s news reports, we start on the Sesame Street News Flash title card and its theme music. Announcer: And now, for another...
