    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I wonder if we need a new thread regarding screenshots from rare clips that won't be uploaded anytime soon (like how I started a thread regarding episode information from the trusted sources). I was amazed to find stills from the first two versions of "Sing" yesterday and wondered where they...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The Fool on the Hill.

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    When it came to favorite songs from classic and later Muppet films, I wondered if anyone would list both Rainbow Connection and/or Together Again for both.

    Episode info from trusted sources

    A lot of interesting stuff about episode 1045. It switches the main plot from maybe a half-hour of The Count's show (which seems like it could have easily been cut into a 30 minute home video compilation back in the days when Sesame Street videos were 30 minutes long - and I'm only guessing on...

    Universal opening logo on modern Dark Crystal releases?

    Lately I've been thinking about how the 1993 Jim Henson Video releases of TMM and GMC had the Jim Henson Productions logo at the beginning and how the 1999 releases had the Jim Henson Pictures logo (which remains on modern releases), and I thought about how the 1994 release of The Dark Crystal...

    Monsterpiece Theater timeline speculation

    Sesame Street Unpaved mentions a few Monsterpiece Theater segments that the wiki doesn't have info on, including The Ticklish Patient. I wonder how likely it is that there's additional Monsterpiece Theater segments not yet noted on the wiki. Though with the wiki's now-complete season 10-13 and...

    Early Sesame Street was strange...

    When you compare the Muppet sketches of Sesame Street with the Muppet sketches of The Muppet Show and various variety show appearances, I wouldn't say there's many that are really strange. But maybe we have different opinions on what's "strange". Muppetzine once had an article called "Weird...

    Sesame Street's YouTube channel uploaded the Family Food sketch

    I think that sketch was part of the recent collection video of parody segments that Sesame Workshop put online. It's also been on DVD since 2011 (as part of Best of Sesame Street Spoofs!).

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Probably won't happen, but wouldn't it be awesome if the pledge-drive anniversary special spotlighted the best of Sesame Street's previous pledge drive specials (which would probably be limited, but I think Big Bird's Birthday has plenty of original footage)?

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Yeah, I brought up the reference on The Goldbergs several pages back, on the night it aired.

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    It's the start of the last day of Muppetational May, here's my remaining choices: Day 25: Best song from a classic Muppet movie: "You Can't Take No for an Answer" Day 26: Best song from a later Muppet movie: "We're Doing a Sequel" Day 27: Favorite Fraggle character from Fraggle Rock: Boober...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I wonder if that pledge drive special will be an alternate edit of the special we know about (like how Sesame Street Jam: A Musical Celebration was a re-edited version of 25 Wonderful Years: A Musical Celebration for pledge drive season). Either way, I guess this will be the first new Sesame...

    Monsterpiece Theater timeline speculation

    Well, Muppet Wiki now notes the first appearance of every Monsterpiece Theater segment. Speculation no more! https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Monsterpiece_Theater So both The Sound of Music and Chariots of Fur premiered in season 14, near the end of that season. Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Looking at new episode pages in the last few days, it's been discovered that there was a recurring Kermit the Frog sketch/identity called "Kermit the Frog, Smart Person" (was that an actual title card or did he refer to himself that way in dialogue?), with Kermit helping a character (which seems...

    Little things we've noticed

    Looking at the guide for episode 3784, the second-to-last episode of the 29th season, I noticed that this episode has three segments with Grover making their debuts in this one. Then I clicked on each image to see what other episodes feature them, and it turns out that all three of these Grover...

    Months mentioned on Sesame Street segments?

    When Lefty tried to sell Ernie a number 8 but Ernie couldn't afford one, he offered to trade one of his 9s - "it'll remind you of when the ninth of August is".

    Little things we've noticed

    It seems like The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppet Christmas Carol were both made in a short amount of time. Movies tend to take a long time to develop, yet these both seem to have taken just two years before their releases. Jim Henson wanted to do The Dark Crystal after The Muppet Movie...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I've been looking for this for years, and how appropriate that I find it today on Memorial Day (and I saw that it has been online since last November, I should have tried harder): Promos for Nickelodeon's Muppet Mania marathon which aired Memorial Day 1993. This special had the...

    Little things we've noticed

    Most of The Countesses have been girlfriends/love interests for The Count, but Countess Dahling von Dahling is The Count's fifth cousin instead. Now that Muppet Wiki has full guides for all of season 12, I've checked "what links here" on the character and found that, for season 12, The Count and...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Didn't think the promo would come out so soon after the announcement (especially when we have to wait three months).
