    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    And during the early years, it was common for the human cast to do Muppet voices from time to time. But they were a regular part of the show, I guess Jim didn't want to hire performers to just provide voices of the puppets (but Sokol was a special case). The Frog Prince and Muppet Musicians of...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    The next Sesame Street release is Cool Counting Collection, a number-themed follow-up to Awesome Alphabet Collection (and it has better alliteration!). It's interesting, the initial press release for Awesome Alphabet Collection mentioned a mix of classic and newer clips, while the wording for...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    I didn't think that each of the main seven would have to be together that frequently. But since season 46, when they limited the main cast to Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, Cookie, Grover, Abby, and Rosita, have there been many street stories that equally involve all seven of them? Even with seven...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    When they reduced the characters to a core seven (with the rest being more secondary now), Oscar was one of the "main seven". Now he's only been in a few new episodes this season? They must have dropped the core focus further.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Of the four street scenes with the Miami Mice, my favorite is the one at the Fix-It Shop. I thought it was weird in the regular Miami Mice sketch with The Count when they show up at the space station and shout "Miami Mice! Freeze!", when the people at the space station didn't seem to do...

    Questions about anything

    More episodes this season have been broadcast, he's shown up a little more often, though it seems like only one scene per episode. And maybe it's just me, but it seems like whenever he appears now, he's always sitting on the couch. I wonder if he has problems walking now. Today I tried...

    Little things we've noticed

    I assumed that all of the celebrities in that did appearances in season 19 (or maybe season 18, when the original came out), so I was surprised that all three of Danny DeVito’s appearances debuted in season 17 (well, one was produced then but premiered in season 18). Could they have really had...

    The Great Snuffleupagus Derby: 1130 Snuffleupagus Derby - YouTube I was expecting to see nine Snuffleupaguses, and be a 1-9 counting lesson. Though that might have made the sketch a bit boring (though the segment itself is a bit long), might have also been time consuming to make and change...

    Little things we've noticed

    At least in terms of broadcast. Muppet Wiki has the taping date for that one but not the one with Ernie (though I wouldn't be surprised if they were both done on the same day). Though it is interesting that, internally, that one is titled "Kermit Meets Miami Mice", when it's their first...

    Little things we've noticed

    In the YouTube thread, a few people have been referring to the Miami Mice as boring. That is a matter of opinion, I really disagree (and I was a big fan of them when I was a kid and knew nothing about Miami Vice). But it does get me thinking some things. The last time any of their segments...

    “How did he know I was here?” Maybe that’s one of Super Grover’s super powers. they never bring up that Gina could make Mr. Johnson a new cheeseburger.

    They would still be in the vaults, even if they legally couldn’t make the episode available anytime soon.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    The Miami Mice's jogging suits look different from what I was expecting (and I hadn't realized that Muppet Wiki does not yet have a screenshot from this scene). I actually was expecting their jogging suits to look boring by comparison - I was expecting their clothes to look closer to their...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I thought the Miami Mice segments were awesome. Of course the ones with Kermit and Ernie were the only ones fans had access to for years (and are the only ones I really remember seeing as a kid, though I vaguely recall The Count segment). I don't find the one with The Count as boring, though...

    Questions about anything

    I wonder if it's so boring that you don't pay attention and therefore don't know whether to vote guilty or not guilty.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I know fans have had a copy of the Hooper's Store re-opening for years, but I think this is the first time the entire street story was online (the Don Music clip had been available on its own, and I want to say I'd seen another scene online but can't remember). There's some things that I...

    Maybe if Jim Henson was on set for the taping of that episode.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    One thing I have wondered about. The page on lost episodes points out that certain lost street scenes survive as German dubs. Do we know if Sesame Workshop still has copies of all international dubs in storage or if those just survive because fans happened to record the episodes? I guess it...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Even then, somebody could have recorded it off television while Sesame Workshop lost a useable copy.
