    Fraggle Rock coming to Blu-ray September 25, 2018

    I got this a few weeks ago. The picture quality looks great. Somehow I missed that Fraggle Songs and Doozer Music were included as special features. While both had been available digitally, neither had been on a season set or complete series set before (Doozer Music hadn't even been a...

    Little things we've noticed

    Looking at the guides for episodes 2681 and 2737, I wonder if the endings were swapped. Both episodes involve Gabi and Irvine going to day care, the first one has a scene where Oscar talks about playing peek-a-boo with Irvine, and then the final scene in the other one has Oscar and Irvine...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Looking at guides for some of the episodes this week, it seems like this was a week of scary segments (despite airing in February). It had this banned episode, it's been pointed out that the infamous "Cracks" appeared in the next episode, but a couple days ago I found that episode 849 has...

    Biff without a hat

    Yesterday, I was at a Goodwill store and found some volumes of The Sesame Street Treasury. So I looked through them a little, and found in one story, I think it was called "King of Cauliflower Castle", Biff is actually shown without a hat twice. So now I know that there is at least one official...

    Below the Frame Season 3 Episode 1: Caroll Spinney Tribute

    Wow, they recorded the whole retirement party show (though I'm not really surprised). IF they put out a special DVD for the 50th anniversary, they should include some of it as a bonus feature. I heard that when The Jim Henson Company honored Caroll Spinney with an event a few months ago...

    Video: The Return of The Amazing Mumford

    While Matt Vogel isn't performing Mumford, I felt like I heard a hint of his Floyd in Mumford's voice. Then I remembered that John Kennedy did perform Floyd a couple of times. Anybody know how often John Kennedy performs on Sesame Street?

    Little things we've noticed

    For the last few years, I'd been thinking that the majority of really weird or bizarre Sesame Street segments were animated segments, with very few of the really weird ones being Muppet segments. Of course there had been some weird Muppet segments, like The Geefle and the Gonk (though after...

    Questionably Educational SST Skits

    Well, recently the wiki has gotten info on that particular scene. Turns out it was part of the original season one performance of "Up and Down", which had hippies singing and cut-aways to a few things, including this instance. So it indeed taught up and down, but wasn't its own segment.

    Episode info from trusted sources

    It's amazing what is now known thanks to these. Just a day or two ago, there was a page created for a season 21 episode with Oscar being against recycling, which turns out to be the episode that had a clip in the A&E Biography that showed Oscar, accompanied by Bruno, asking Bob "How long have...

    Little things we've noticed

    Not sure if this was intentional, but the segment where Ernie and Bert go to Egypt is like the opposite of a typical Ernie and Bert sketch. Many have Ernie dragging Bert into his activities/nonsense, which Bert is not interested in, but as soon as he is enjoying the activity and really into...

    Wow! You're a Cartoonist

    I thought it was a little weird when PJ and Kai-Lee interact with Jonathan, appearing in a TV set as opposed to appearing in person in his studio. But then I remembered that it's kinda like at the beginning of Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie Bear, where Kermit talks to some kids watching the...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    There is something I had thought about for a while after the wiki started making these guides. I wonder, of all the episode pages compiled from trusted sources, which of them will be the first to surface, whether it's the whole episode or just the street scenes, whether it turns out somebody...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    For the last few months, a few people at Muppet Wiki got access to many scripts from the show, creating episode pages cited as being from trusted sources. And these sudden scripts have been a nice asset for the wiki. Along with seeing new episode pages for old episodes, it's often fascinating...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    It also seems like Eric Jacobson very rarely does interviews, less so than other performers.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    I remember them uploading/creating a playlist of performances by Jerry Nelson. Not really the same as creating a documentary-style video about his work. Then again, they likely had more time to put together a video honoring Caroll Spinney than they would have for Jerry Nelson.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    Maybe they did, but I don't think they were on the official Sesame Street YouTube channel.

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    After seeing that tribute video Sesame Workshop did to honor Caroll Spinney, I was thinking that's the kind of thing Sesame Workshop hasn't done for its official YouTube channel, and hope they can do more with other performers and people involved with the show. But now I wonder if maybe they...

    It's Official: Caroll Spinney retires from Sesame Street after nearly 50 years

    This is sad news, but I'm not really surprised. It is great that he'll achieve his goal of making it to season 50 (and season 49 hasn't even started airing yet). But I see a lot of people online talking about this (and this applies more to reactions from fans on Facebook than on the Muppet...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    I've seen it mentioned a few times on the wiki that some of these scripts appear to be transcribed from the episodes after they were finished (I think it was said the original scripts were lost or whatever, in that case it's great they bothered to create new copies), and I've heard of some old...

    Muppets Tonight: What went wrong

    I thought it was better with Statler and Waldorf watching from a variety of locations than just watching in a nursing home. Interesting about Coolio, that one also announced Don Rickles as a guest, and was the only episode to really announce two different guest stars (a few episodes had a...
