    Little things we've noticed

    I thought there were three orange Oscar's. There's the first one, which clearly didn't have any arms. Then there was a fuzzy orange Oscar that had at least one arm (could they have just added it to the original very easily?). And then there was an orange Oscar with much smoother fur than the...

    Sesame Street Season 2 Episode 265 - Ice Cream Machine on Sesame Street

    I've already noticed that seasons 2 and 3 have the highest number of lost episodes, I can't remember which one has more (one has around 20 missing, the other has around 30 missing).

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Looking at the page for 1936, I learned of an alteration to an old sketch that I was not aware of (but am not surprised they did). It has the Kermit and Grover "toothbrush salesman" sketch, but cuts the ending, I assume the whole part where Kermit bites Grover (surely that's not a post-roll that...

    Joe Raposo's song "Takes a lot of little nuts to make a jar of peanut butter"

    It's been a long time since the show re-aired anything from the 1980s, not to mention fullframe content (though Elmo's World has been presented in widescreen), so of course they'd reshoot it if they represented it on the show today.

    Did Kevin Clash voice the talking Baby Sinclair doll?

    I've been watching the promo for the talking Baby Sinclair doll commercial quite a bit lately, and in listening, I think there's something off about his voice. Anybody know if Kevin Clash voiced it as usual or if somebody else did? Sounds close, but something does not sound right. And maybe it...

    Little things we've noticed

    So for season 16, Gordon, Maria, and Linda all believed in Mr. Snuffleupagus, even though they wouldn't meet him for a year. Until the trusted sources guides came to the wiki, it seems like none of the fans had any episodes that mentioned them believing in Snuffy (with the exception of...

    Little things we've noticed

    I wasn't really counting the Star Wars characters, but it seems like Mark Hamil and Carol Burnett are the only guest stars to play characters who are separate from them (as opposed to characters they play on stage while in the episode context they are playing themselves) in addition to...

    Little things we've noticed

    Today I've noticed that in the few times when a Muppet Show guest star appeared as one of their signature characters, they appeared as such backstage as opposed to on-stage. Peter Sellers appeared as Inspector Clousea in his dressing room cold open, and Gilda Radner was Emily Litella in her...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Yeah, and I think I hear a Jerry Nelson voice at the beginning (can't tell if it's the Anything Muppet next to Hardhead or next to Baby Breeze). I wonder if this is the only Roosevelt Franklin sketch where Muppet performer voices are heard. I kind of feel like this segment is one that Sesame...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Muppet Wiki recently uploaded this clip on both Facebook and Twitter (though the beginning is cut in the Twitter upload): I think this is the first time Hardhead Henry Harris has a lot of dialogue, and the only pre-season six one (that I know of) where he does have a lot of dialogue. And he...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    The next Sesame Street home video release will be Monster Hits: Rock and Rhyme with Elmo, coming in September. I am a little intrigued. It seems like it's a sing-along release, and each song is accompanied by three different clips from the show. So I guess it won't be straightforward segments...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I don't think they've uploaded any "new" classic clips since the pandemic really started, maybe just one or two. I don't know if they've been unable to post clips because of this (and I don't know why, as they have been able to produce new content - getting old clips ready to upload shouldn't be...

    TV Alert: Muppet fan Chris Stulz on "Collector's Call" on MeTV Sunday May 31, 2020

    Some deleted scenes from the episode, showcasing the GMC managers glasses at McDonalds (but no mention of how they are, as Toughpigs have been saying in recent years, poison) and a crew-autographed Labyrinth poster...

    Unpopular Opinions

    When I see videos or lists of the hardest level from every Mario game, I kinda feel bored or disappointed that the hardest from Super Mario World is a Special World level. Maybe part of it is because I've never played those, even after watching tutorials on how to get to them (but I also haven't...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the 1980s, Nintendo's policy with third party developers was that they could not release the same game on another system while also on a Nintendo system, then some rulings made it so that Nintendo could not legally have that policy. I think this change happened as the Sega Genesis was...

    TV Alert: Muppet fan Chris Stulz on "Collector's Call" on MeTV Sunday May 31, 2020

    I like how they talk about that TMS mug being valuable for having obscure characters like Annie Sue and Gaffer, as if casual fans would be more interested as a result. And I really like Lisa Welcher pointing out Gaffer was on that after they estimate the value, as if she's a fan of the character.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Images from episode 2826 were posted, and I'm not sure whether this is one of those episodes acquired from the secret source or not. I don't think the uploader is among those with the "trusted sources" and videos, but I'm not fully sure. I have checked YouTube and its not there, but it could...

    Sesame Street Special "When You Wish Upon a Pickle"

    Thinking about it, this special feels the most to me what the show would be like if it wasn't broken up into multiple inserts, more than any of the past specials.

    Little things we've noticed

    In the age of Muppet Wiki having full guides for post-season 20 episodes, I've seen that there's a few episodes around seasons 24-26 that have Biff and Roxy Marie in a workshop of Biff's, scenes that could have easily been repeated as inserts, but they only show up in one episode. I know back in...
