It's been announced that the upcoming 50th anniversary special will come to DVD on December 3.

Looks like too many repeats from the Old School sets and 40 Years of Sunny Days, Joe Hennes said that there won't be a lot of repeats from those sets. It probably won't have the original ABC_DEF-GHI. A trailer for this set shows that the late-1980s version will be included. A trailer for...

I like how for Big Bird's little brother, they just photographed him a little lower at the neckline. In fact I've noticed while he appears to be in a shirt he's got some feathers showing where the sleeve should be. They clearly just put a shirt collar over his neck, a separate sleeve over his...

That's an interesting dragon. I'm surprised they didn't, as far as I currently know, use him again or recycle the puppet. Looks like a full-body character, though none of the pictures show him having a lower half. Then again, I've always thought of Magellon from Eureeka's Castle as being...

In one episode of That '70s Show, Jackie gets Kelso a leather jacket, but everyone - or at least Hyde, Fez, and Laurie - teases him about being Fonzie. But what's up with that? Fonzie was popular in the late-1970s, why tease somebody for dressing up like him? And why should Kelso be embarrassed...

I'm more willing to bet that either Tom Hanks was scheduled to make an appearance but canceled, or they taped material with Hanks that ended up not airing (failing with test audiences) and it wasn't in any of the final aired version scripts (though I do know that one of the scripts included a...

I wonder if that was really on the show or if it's more of a funny anecdote that Caroll Spinney says in interviews, maybe as Big Bird. I first heard of such an instance in Sesame Street Unpaved when Big Bird was quoted as saying, paraphrased, "one time I walked in and said, 'hello, Mr...

One thing that would be interesting to note would be the first time Elmo referred to himself in the first person. I guess it was when he started speaking in full sentences as opposed to repeating the same words over and over. And now I realize that in his Follow That Bird cameo, which was...

I like the responses that Scott and Shane have been giving to fans on the wiki and Toughpigs forum (and maybe here, but I can't remember for sure right now) in regards to how they've gotten certain rarities. Like when Toughpigs posted screenshots from Out to Lunch around the same time that...

Glad to finally see a Baby Monster performed by Caroll Spinney. When it comes to the "monster family", I wondered if maybe he just meant segments with random AM monsters, with "Monster Family" being more of a term like "The Word Family Song". It seems the second season does have a few segments...

It was a typo. I meant to say it was episode 2391. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2391

Interesting thing I just recently noticed about Kermit's three part plan in The Muppets Take Manhattan: the two parts we see in action both end in failure while Kermit seems to give up before getting to the third part which we never hear of, but of the two failures we see, Kermit is unaware of...

We'll likely get a lot of segments they've released everywhere else (though hopefully the amount of unreleased-on-physical-media/rare segments included will greatly outnumber that). It is about a month before it's released (technically it's less than a month). For the past week (which will...

Deena's debut appearance: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1403 Which reveals that in season 11 (at least her first appearance), a very different puppet was used. This does solve a mystery that the wiki had years ago. An image of Deena from this episode had surfaced long ago, in...

I recall you mentioning that he had a lot of dialogue in the script, and I've wondered if that might have had anything to do with them changing it (though looking at the description, I don't think we would have really lost much if they cut his lines, maybe just how Oscar decides to ask him to...

Muppet Wiki recently sourced that Kevin Clash performed Chrissy in this.

Bruno's debut episode, 1259, now has images.... https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1259 ....and it turns out the broadcast version was significantly different from the script, which had been all about Oscar meeting Bruno and having him move his can to a different location. Judging...

Just because it's outdated material doesn't mean it's disappointing. I am a fan of disco, especially disco on Sesame Street. Of course with it mostly being stuff that just aired once or twice (or not at all), I doubt they were pulled just because they were outdated (what would be the chance that...

I don't want to turn this thread into a thread about the other event, especially since we really don't know that it will be part of it (but didn't somebody on this forum say that Craig Shemin said somewhere that this was being considered for a special screening of rare Sesame Street stuff), and...
