    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    The wiki now has full image guides for both episodes featuring Countess von Backwards (unless she turned up again and just wasn't in the scripts provided). https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2722 https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2724 That second one actually looks like an awesome...

    Elmo and Cookie Monster

    In the last decade, many fans have said that Elmo and Cookie Monster are the most popular Sesame Street characters. But have there been many segments starring both of them? I can't really think of many, off-hand there's "A Monster Went and Ate My Red Two", but that's about it. And have there...

    Do any of you college students like college better than high school?

    I liked high school better. I interacted with pretty much everybody regularly (I don't really know what stereotype or clique I would be part of - well, class clown, but what else?), I felt popular (despite not doing any extracurricular activities - I regret not doing that), I felt like most of...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    In the auto-scroll levels in the Mario games, how come there's still a time limit? If it's auto scroll, until the very end of the level when you get to the goal point, you're pretty much guaranteed to get to the end (or die) before running out of time, and before the "time running out" music...

    Biff without a hat

    Found another episode to show Biff without his hat (well, I didn't actually see the episode, but...). Muppet Wiki added a guide for episode 1955, where Biff gets sick while doing work at Bob's house. A screenshot shows him laying on the couch without wearing his hat. Judging by just one...

    The Old Cartoon Network Thread

    Somebody was asking me about this, which I don't really know the answer on: The clip has Cartoon Network ending and switching over to TNT. So did TNT sometimes have special block previews for Cartoon Network, for those whose cable providers didn't carry Cartoon Network? I know Nick at...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I saw Kermit, Fozzie, The Swedish Chef, and maybe a few other Muppets and Sesame Street Muppets in a phone commercial with other puppets and television personalities, all of them using landline phones with phone cards. In addition to the Muppets, from what I can...

    "Thinking of U"

    All this time, I assumed there was a Beatles song called "Thinking of You" because of this. It would make sense.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I remember that guide from when it began and yet I am surprised that it's his first appearance as a regular. Somehow I thought he'd have been seen a bit more before that. And it's season 20 after 1988 had ended (perhaps he was busy doing his scenes from UHF). But I figured it out when I looked...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    This is a segment I was barely aware of, can't remember if I've seen it before or not, and am surprised that they changed it - and more surprised that, it appears, they changed it for that one video release. I had it in my mind (as little as I thought of it) that this one is from the 1990s, and...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I was surprised to see that Muppet Treasures has been online, in it's entirety, in English, for the last two years. How have I missed it? And with that, Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook is the only one of the Playhouse Videos that I have not seen/seen the linking footage for.

    The special can now be viewed on Sesame Street's YouTube channel.

    Video: "The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo" series trailer debuts

    We see Herry and Freddy in the house band. When I first saw that Herry would be part of the house band, I wondered if it'd be the same as the house band for the 50th anniversary special (as if that was meant as a teaser for what was to come). Though I can't tell who is playing the drums.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    The wiki finally has good quality images of an episode that had been on YouTube, but the only copies were recordings that were clearly a camera pointed at a television set (which I assume is why the pictures weren't on the wiki). So hooray for finally having the images (and in great quality)...

    Little things we've noticed

    Maybe I talked about it here, it has been on my mind a lot and I know I have posted about it on a Facebook page, but recently Muppet Wiki started a sandbox page on uncredited performers, and I was surprised to see that so many performers went uncredited for at least their first season. There are...

    Episodes that may have to be cancelled, or wouldn't be appropriate to show in these times

    Hopefully all these shutdowns will be over by July. I saw a Facebook post mentioning that they were shooting episodes at their home, I think it was an article on the show that I didn't really read. Makes me wonder if the performers are really doing episodes/segments from their homes, or if...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've pointed this out a number of times. And during the broadcast, as Big Bird is watching on outdoor televisions, it is nighttime, including when he's just missed by Miss Finch, which seems like it must not have been too long past the news broadcast. But it's not until the next day that...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I dreamt a dream which switched to a few Muppet-related things. One part had me looking at Muppet Wiki posts and seeing one where one of the administrators (one whom even had access to "trusted sources") was told to stop posting on the wiki for a while. He wasn't banned or blocked, and I...

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    It was said that Julia’s dad is an EMT. Has that fact been mentioned before or was it first revealed in this? When Abby talked about how not everyone can be with both parents, I thought she was going to mention her parents being divorced. But that’s not the point, where it was to lead in to a...

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    It was decent. I was only expecting it to be okay, but it was a little better than that (not by too much). I guess some scenes used green screen. It looked like Elmo was matted into the first scene. I was impressed with how similar Elmo’s room looked to his current room. I like the lighting on...
