    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    It’s interesting that they have Herry be the waiter instead of Grover. I guess they know better than to hire Grover as the waiter (or maybe Grover was busy at one of his other jobs, after all, Grover wasn’t at the wedding). Herry refers to himself as “the waiter”, as if they only have one at the...

    SST 50th anniversary fan fic: Julia Learns the Past

    Maybe I should have given this a better title. I had planned to have it be more about Julia learning about the shows past (which came from me wondering if the real 50th anniversary special would star Julia in a way - particularly since the special will air on PBS shortly after its HBO premier...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    That scene is both more amazing than I had expected and less epic than I expected. I like those occasional shots of what I think is supposed to be across the street from the building (I wonder if the wiki needs a sandbox page/gallery of images of parts of the street that don’t normally get to be...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I must say that I am really enjoying some of the songs from the street scenes on disc 2. I know that I saw Maria and Luis’ wedding episode when it aired, but had forgotten many of the songs (and have caught a few on YouTube as well as the scene in 40 Years of Sunny Days, but hadn’t seen all the...

    SST 50th anniversary fan fic: Julia Learns the Past

    Act 3 Abby: that was so magic learning about the Sesame Street before I got here. Julia: yeah! Telly: but there’s more from before Zoe got here. Zoe: wait, really? Elmo: yeah, Elmo and Telly have been living on Sesame Street a lot longer. Zoe: don’t joke me! Telly: it’s true...,. Clip montage...

    SST 50th anniversary fan fic: Julia Learns the Past

    Enjoy this fan fic for a 50th anniversary special. act 1 a square is in the center, as an instrumental of the theme plays. Rectangular boxes show up around the square, one ar a time, showing a little bit of audible dialogue before the next clip box shows up, four on top and bottom columns...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Given that the set doesn’t have anything too obscure/confusing for casual fans (I guess the most confusing might be a Brian Meehl Telly clip), and given a few of the edits (that had occurred in later broadcasts of those skits), it makes me wonder, if a pre-season 20 Monsterpiece Theater segment...

    Segments acceptable in 70s/80s, but now no longer the case

    The Ballad if Casey McPhee had a portion edited as far back as the 1980s? This is the first I heard of that. I’ve heard an album release of the song which seems to be as long as all video footage I’ve seen. And an avalanche is in what I’ve seen (and I’ve seen it in season 30 episodes). Cookie...

    "Brand X"

    I forgot that there was an animated segment about brand X. I thought you were asking about the first season segment with an early unnamed Guy Smiley.

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    I wonder about Do De Rubber Duck being pulled. It’s a fact that I don’t remember knowing about until this past year. In fact, it was last shown in season 38, the last to have pre-1990 segments, if it was pulled then then it’s an interesting coincidence. Or maybe they got the complaints and...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I had noticed that Put Down the Duckie ends before the ending music. I wondered if that would count as an edit, but I checked for past uploads of the non-celebrity version and it also ends at that point, making me wonder if the very end (Hoots turning his head and nodding) had the music or if it...

    "Brand X"

    I think it was a parody of commercials in general, not a specific one.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    One thing I’ve noticed is that in the transition before Do De Rubber Duck, there’s a sound clip of Bert making a pigeon noise. Audio of a Rubber Duckie squeaking and/or Ernie laughing would have been more appropriate for here. Makes me wonder if they planned to include Doin’ the Pigeon or some...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I wonder if there should have been some "character captions" for the "What's the Name of That Muppet?" section, since it seems to be asking a question. Many of the characters are referred to by name in their segments, but a handful (Lefty, Little Jerry and the Monotones) are not. Or maybe during...

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

    I thought it was said that they would include some unaired segments (besides "Snuffy's parents get a divorce") as well as segments that aired but not very often. If they didn't air at all, then they probably wouldn't have an episode number to find the video copies (right now I'm trying to...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I decided to tally up how many segments each character (well, most of them) appear in disc 1: Big Bird - 6 Elmo - 10 Ernie - 14 Bert - 10 Cookie Monster - 13 Grover - 13 Herry Monster - 5 Telly Monster - 6 Abby Cadabbby - 6 Zoe - 4 Rosita - 5 The Count - 4 Kermit - 6 Oscar - 6 Guy Smiley - 2...
