    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Cool. I entered a few giveaways online, so I'll be waiting a couple of weeks to see if/how I'll be getting this.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Are the street stories all the scenes or just ones most relevant to the plot?

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    I'm sure there's some report out there from 1969 justifying the episode count, but really, I have no idea why they chose to do 130 episodes a year. I think they should've knocked that down ages ago - more money for better shows (I mean, presumably more money).

    Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

    It could either be a budgetary thing or a "we exhausted all our ideas for material" thing.

    Happy Birthday, Oscarfan!

    Well, if that's the way I'm perceived, I guess I won't do it this year either! (thanks all, btw)

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    It's not officially announced when it's airing; people were just guessing it would be Nov. 10 because, well, you know.

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    Yeah, there's three hours space for 50 years worth of material. Two of the same thing takes away time from other stuff, especially because those segments are longer than others.

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    I hope not; they don't need more than one Crumby Pictures bit.

    There are no edits to these episodes, so yes there are.

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    They found that out through the Ice Bucket video; they thought my channel was someone on the inside apparently. I met with some folks for a day, got some free swag and that was pretty much the extent of it.

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    No, I never interned there, nor do I currently work there. I just talk to people who know stuff going on on all facets of Muppet-related-things.

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    It all depends on what materials the puppet is made from. Some last longer than others just by their nature, others can wear down from overuse, or how it's stored, etc. For example, Grizzy from EIG was revealed a couple of months ago to be deteriorating despite not being used in like 20 years...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    Whatever classic characters crop up in this are going to be ones that can easily be assembled from AMs and such. Repairing Barkley is a tall order and it's probably not gonna happen.
