    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    In that recent "Device Free Dinner" video, Oscar goes down into his bin and then pops up from in front. Was there a hidden trash can there?

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I was referring to if Sesame Workshop, not a random fan with their own copies, put out "full" but heavily edited episodes from the real early years. Sesame Workshop would have the episodes (though there's likely legalities that would keep certain segments from an official release). Of course...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Maybe this is a question for another thread, but whenever Sesame Workshop uploads a full episode or street story, it's usually from after the format change of 2002. Maybe it's harder to clear everything from earlier episodes (especially the 1970s and 1980s), but lately I've been wondering how...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Considering the format of Sesame Street Rewind, I actually hope this is mostly clips that are widely available (so fans who want to can just as easily watch the clip without the pop-up facts/sounds). I kinda wonder if they should upload a complete episode or street story with the on-screen...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Today's classic clip posted online was Rubber Duckie, with pop-up facts, as part of a series of uploads called "Sesame Street Rewind". I hope more of these go online. I wonder what else will come soon (my guess would be C is for Cookie). I'm glad they actually acknowledged that the...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Today, info on episode 1481 was added to the wiki, and I am glad to find info on the episode featuring the song "Next to You", which Big Bird sings to Barkley. I downloaded that song a year ago, thought it sounded good but (knowing it came from the show first and wasn't recorded especially for...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Thought up another idea that would make a great DVD/digital release or official online collection, though I don't know what kind of title it could have, but wouldn't it be cool if Sesame Workshop put out a special compilation of various songs that were part of a street plot as opposed to being...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I mistakenly thought the bonus episode, Elmo's Alphabet Race, would be the whole episode as opposed to just the street story. But at the beginning, there's some silence that stands out. It must be muting an underscore of the theme, but that silence sounds awkward. I know the theme song has been...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Looking at that one image, which must be a short part of a longer clip, how is it known that the missing main characters aren't in that clip but out of frame/their parts didn't make what made the cut of how much of that clip showed up at the Emmy's? A while back I thought up an anniversary...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    The uncut version appears as a bonus feature in Old School Volume 3. Couldn't that version have been used instead? This release has two "It's the Letter of the Day" segments led by Abby Cadabby (when I first saw the full segment listing I thought one of them was a "What's the Letter of the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the Toy Story movies, it seems like the toys are only alive after they've been taken out of their packaging. And yet in Toy Story 2, Stinky Pete is able to move and interact with the other toys from inside his box even though it's said that he had never been outside of his original box. I...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Awesome Alphabet Collection came out today, and it is interesting. It's the first DVD release since 2014's Alphabet Songs to have a fairly big amount of clips from the Jim Henson years (and that release just had five), and the first since 2013's Fairy Tale Fun to have full unreleased clips from...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Occasionally, there'll be things pointed out in a work of fiction based on geography of where the scenes were located. One has to do with the opening scene in Stripes, shot in downtown Lousville, Kentucky. I hear people point this out a lot because I've always lived close to the area, but at...

    Little things we've noticed

    Not so much a little thing I've noticed as much as something I recently realized. Shortly after I first saw Muppets from Space, I said that it was the best of the post-Jim Henson movies, and shortly after I first saw The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, I actually thought it was better than The Muppet...

    The "You know what?" thread

    May 4 is Star Wars Day, all because of the pun "may the fourth be with you". But the first Star Wars movie is episode 4. So it's more fitting than just the pun.

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    It does kind of have a sequel quality to it. And yet I can't decide if it's "even better sequel" quality, "underrated sequel" quality, or "not as good sequel" quality.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I'm surprised that the Mad Painter clip notes Stockard Channing but not Paul Benedict. I don't think he was known at the time, and I'd expect his role as Mr. Bently to be notable enough. Some child actors who I didn't realize were on the show before they were famous (and they're ones whom I...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Don't really want to make this thread all about unrelated discoveries from the archives (do we need a thread for such a thing?), but that Sesame Street Fever movie sounds intriguing. The plot sounds odd - in this universe the Muppets are just television characters and a kid imagines them as...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    By "one shot" I meant not part of a recurring animated series. Though over time the wiki has allowed less one-shot Muppet sketches to have pages as well (lumping them into character sketch guides, a guide to Sesame Street game shows, just including info on parodies on pages for the source...
