    Episode info from trusted sources

    Well, Muppet Wiki now has full guides for every season 12 episode. It looks like only one Warren Wolf segment aired in season 12. If not for that one season 12 press release listing him among many new characters for the season I probably wouldn't care so much. I wonder if there were more that...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    Mine from the past week: Day 20: Best puppetry trick: Gonzo on the balloons (The Muppet Movie). Day 21: Favorite character from The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth: Hoggle. Day 22: Favorite parody starring the classic Muppets: Tales from the Vet (a lot of people picked things that I wouldn't really...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I think it was said that Shout! plans to put out at least four a year, and so far this year it seems they're doing one every three months (of course the two releases from 2018 came out closer, and the first release from this year was released close to those). So if Dance Party comes out in...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    These pop-up videos list the original air dates*, but it would be cool if they would list the taping dates or even production code numbers. But I wonder if they're mainly looking at Muppet Wiki for info or if they're going into their own archival information. One thing I thought would be cool...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Considering Muppet Wiki now has complete guides for most of seasons 20-present, plus complete guides for seasons 10, 11, and 13, I figure that if the wiki currently doesn't list an episode number for a segment known to have debuted in the 1980s, or if the wiki finds an unknown segment from that...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    The next release is called Dance Party, which will be two hours of segments about dancing. It'll include the bonus video Elmo's Music Magic (I would have chosen Dance Along or Zoe's Dance Moves). Judging from the description and listing of confirmed celebrity guests, it looks like it'll all...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Yesterday the wiki added a guide for episode 1553, which has Big Bird realizing that he and Buffy hadn't spent much time together during her stay on the street this season, and Big Bird suspected it's because she's been staying in Oscar's can and he doesn't spend much time with Oscar. Could this...

    Little things we've noticed

    In Sesame Street: A Celebration - 40 Years of Life on the Street, there's pages of a proposal Christopher Cerf wrote up listing celebrities he hoped could be included in the celebrity version of Put Down the Duckie. It's at least two pages long, probably more celebrities than they could have...

    Questions about anything

    At the end of Brewster's Millions (the 1985 version), when the deadline is almost up and it looks like Brewster will lose the challenge and inheritance, he's about to sign some papers, indicating that he doesn't get anything. But why is he signing it? Would it make any difference if he didn't...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the first four seasons of The Simpsons, the shows animation was provided by Klashy-Csupo. Around the time that the Simpson's made a cameo in the Sesame Street song Monster in the Mirror, Klasky-Csupo was animating segments for Sesame Street. I wouldn't be surprised if the company animated The...

    New Muppet series in development for Disney's 2019 streaming service

    When it says there'll be "a cooking show, a game show, and a talk show", will they all appear within the ten minute episodes, or will they be like a rotating schedule of format? Which could be neat, but with it being referred to as a variety format, that all seems limiting in terms of "variety"...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In The Empire Strikes Back, both Yoda and the force ghost of Obi Wan Kenobi warn Luke against fighting Darth Vader to save his friends, worried that Darth might turn Luke to the dark side. But now I wonder if they were really discouraging Luke because they suspected Darth Vader would reveal that...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    I didn't realize until the favorite Grover song and/or sketch day that they put "and/or" for bot Grover and Cookie Monster, meaning we could list a song and sketch. My picks for the past week: Day 13: Best Statler and Waldorf joke: "We'd love to see your act!"/"in fact we'd hate to miss your...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    I also posted this in the top ten anything thread, but I've compiled a list of top ten episodes I'd recommend checking out if the main purpose to watch is for wiki research. There's things from the guides I wonder and there's things I've seen people mention that happen in certain scripts. 10...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Recommended episodes to look at when every Sesame Street episode is digitized for public viewing, mainly for those who might want to go and watch episodes more for the sake of editing Muppet Wiki. 10. Early episodes with Irvine – some scripts call her Irving, was that name used in the actual...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    On the Tough Pigs message board, somebody pointed out an on-set Instagram photo of a flyer saying "please don't take pictures of Kermit". So I guess he is there but they're not allowed to take on-set photos (or requesting that nobody do so).

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I don't think I said I thought that based on just one page not mentioning them. I was simply saying it would have been good to have seen such a page (maybe see what some specific clips featured will be), but also noted that it could be like Elmopalooza and not have clips at all. Part of that...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I'm surprised to see that they put numbers by each line. Is this common in scripts (well, the audio recording sessions I've heard for Looney Tunes shorts/The Bugs Bunny Show have the lines said out of order and I think referred to by number)? At one point I had wondered if maybe the cast...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Are you two referring to that Sesame Supercut? Because that's a fan made video, not an official Sesame Workshop-produced thing. Though Northern Calloway had problems, I don't think Sesame Workshop is against acknowledging him or David. He was talked about in the books Sesame Street Unpaved...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    Today Twitter is down whenever I click on the hashtag Muppetational May. I want to see other people's picks but for now I'll have to settle for seeing them in my news feed or clicking on Twitter pages for those participating. Actually, I clicked on a few other hashtags and got the same error. So...
