    Episode info from trusted sources

    Not sure if this is for this thread or not, but seen on Muppet Wiki some editing history noted “misinterpretation in CTW Archives”, for Counting is Wonderful and a few episodes. I assume those are all episodes that previously listed the segment (the wiki page for Counting is Wonderful now lists...

    Questions about anything

    TV Tropes says that Northern Calloway was not allowed to be in Follow That Bird due to it being done in Canada. Regarding Elmo's World, it seems like the main 123 Sesame Street building (and to an extent around the corner) was the only regular place to be a central part of the film. The...

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5005 - A Dog and a Song

    At first I thought the girl with Bert and Bart was supposed to be Bertha. A character the fans didn’t really know about until this past year. Would she have made an appearance of trusted soruces/rare episodes hadn’t made their way to Muppet Wiki? i don’t think it’s that big a surprise that they...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I don't think it'd really matter if adults watch content made "for kids".

    Now what's going on with YouTube?

    I’ve seen a Facebook movement to boycot using YouTube from the tenth to thirteenth. Not sure if that would do any good, and I’m not really sure of all that’s suggested (so don’t use YouTube at all, even if you’re not using it to watch anything? Just don’t watch anything there? Just don’t upload...

    Remembering Caroll Spinney (December 26, 1933-December 8, 2019)

    I think maybe he meant that you saw it as a kid, but also saw it on YouTube as an adult, helping you remember details.

    Remembering Caroll Spinney (December 26, 1933-December 8, 2019)

    This is sad news, though I figured the end was near. Interestingly, last night I had a dream in which I learned something new about how Bruno worked, something involving his hands. these past few days the Muppet Wiki forum has had a few discussions on him.

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    I don’t really want to turn this thread into a thread about the actual lost episodes (we kinda already have a thread for that), but most of those do sound interesting. The stuff I’m most bummed about are the character debut episodes and most of the season three Snuffy-centric episodes. I’m also...

    The "What Commercial was that?!" Thread

    I’m remembering a commercial from the late 1990s. The main thing I remember was that it featured a sports team, the coach told his players, in an angry tone, “we’re not here to have fun. We’re here to win! So win!” I’m thinking maybe it was in black and white. Since it features a sports team, I...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    if the episode wasn’t withheld from future airings, I think there’d still be an audience of fans interested in seeing it, as it features a character from The Wizard of Oz, played by the same cast member. Crossover episodes are exciting. interesting that lost episodes were brought up. Ever...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I’ll have to look back at the editing history (from when the info came from a Japanese program guide). A lot of that is different from what I expected (and I’m sure some of the info from that odd guide was just omitted from the user). I didn’t realize Hooper’s Store being in competition was a...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    According to Muppet Wiki, the DVD release of Sesame Street’s 50th Anniversary Celebration includes some of the celebrity favorite moments (like the PBS broadcast does), but they also lead to the full clips discussed. Kinda cool, though not anything real high on my wishlist (there are a few...

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    I hope that weird animated version of Being Green surfaces someday (assuming it did air on the show), whatever it is. When I think “weird animated Bein Green”, I think of a portion from a commercial for a Sesame Street album (I forget the title now, one of those greatest hits-type albums...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    Last night I dreamt that I was watching the 50 Years and Counting DVD, and there was a change to Put Down the Duckie. The actual release is the original non-celebrity version, in this dream I was watching it, expecting it to not be the celebrity version... and suddenly it's a new celebrity edit...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    those two episodes that were guided today sound awesome. Are there any other scripts that note a specific performer doing a character to a pre-recorded track from another performer? Considering how rare it seems that Jim Henson performed in street scenes, I was wondering if his characters were...

    Sketches that are only available in a foreign dub

    I think most of the Answer Lady segments have only been available to fans via foreign dubs, with only one (that was uploaded by Sesame Workshop) available in English (and I know the wiki people at least have the second one in English).

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Hopefully that thing about needing a research reason to view the shows was a misunderstanding. Would “helping Muppet Wiki” be a good enough “research reason”? Would it be wrong to make up reasons to want to do research to watch episodes?

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    I’m guessing there wasn’t really any new info to add to the wiki (I figured images wouldn’t make their way). A while back Scott was talking about whether a page on pulled segments would be worth doing, making me interested in learning of segments that were specifically pulled (as opposed to...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    makes me wonder how much will be left to research for the wiki by the time they’re all there.
