I think he meant more of whether they'd avoid including it online or on a video compilation (hopefully they won't cut it if they ever release an episode with one of those segments) or leave out of something like an anniversary retrospective. I had wondered whether this has made Sesame Workshop...

Well, over the years, the show has had scores of recurring characters, many of whom don't/didn't appear in every episode, and back in the old days there were about 130 hour-long episodes a season, making it a little harder to really know if a character was still on. For some reason, during...

Seems both Buena Vista Home Video and Nickelodeon supported some of the same properties in the early 1990s. Buena Vista got the video rights to Bullwinkle, The Jim Henson Company's library, and Alvin and the Chipmunks, in that order, and then Nickelodeon started airing all three, also in that...

I wonder if there would have been a lawsuit if The Jim Henson Company never sold the rights to the Sesame Street Muppets to Sesame Workshop. Though Sesame Workshop would have still owned the rights to the Sesame Street name.

Today an article announcing that Shout! has taken over video rights has gone online (though we kinda already knew), and the article does mention Blu-rays. Maybe there'll be something on Blu-ray in the next year.

We had kinda known already, both the Amazon and Barnes and Noble pages for the next video, Elmo's World: Elmo Explores, list Shout! as the video distributor. It's odd that there wasn't an official article announcement until after. I'm curious about the "150 Sesame Street-related titles". At...

Well, an article about Shout! Factory getting the video rights has been put online: https://deadline.com/2018/08/sesame-workshop-and-shout-factory-reach-multi-year-distribution-deal-1202436613/ I guess now we can talk about Sesame Street video there. I wonder if there'll be any reason to...

I saw this video of promos before Nickelodeon's airing of Hey Cinderella during the 1993 Muppet Mania marathon... And when it gets to the promo that introduces the special, I'm having trouble understanding what it says. It says it's "the Nickelodeon (word I can't quite make out, sounds a...

I definitely didn't know that.

Yesterday, Tough Pigs posted this article: http://www.toughpigs.com/the-muppets-taught-me-every-popular-song-ive-ever-heard-of/ It's about how most of the songs the writer knows are because of the Muppets performance (and at the end adds that every song after 1981 is because Weird Al Yankovic...

In The Muppet Christmas Carol, in the scene where Belle breaks up with Scrooge, I misunderstood the meaning of her saying "another year before our wedding". As a kid, I thought it meant "just one more year before our wedding", don't think I noticed that she didn't sound excited when saying...

I had been wondering if this was just The Muppets merchandise or all aspects of the work of Jim Henson/The Jim Henson Company. Though looking at those photos now, I don't see any Sesame Street/Fraggle Rock/etc. merchandise (I thought I'd seen something before).

If he just had it private, then I wish they didn't mention it in the article.

On the Tough Pigs forum, fans were discussing the possibility of one of us online fans having a much bigger collection and he just thought to contact the world records, but fans also wondered if any fan who did have more would just not say anything. Interesting, it says that he has a Twitter...

I just found this commercial that I had asked about some time ago. The commercial was for LA Gear.

In The Simpsons episode "Who Shot Mr. Burns Part 1", when Burns gets shot, that must have taken place either on a weekend or school holiday, since there's actually a town council meeting before 3PM. Don't know whether it's unusual to have town hall meetings in the early afternoon, maybe it's...

I've kinda been wanting to know a bit more about the early history of Nick News. I looked at the wikipedia page but couldn't find the info I'm looking for (I also saw that the show was produced by Lucky Duck Productions, saw there's an official website but since business closed there's just a...

I've seen some examples of Sesame Street episode scripts. I've seen some examples online, and the 40th anniversary book has pages from some of the scripts. But I've hardly seen scripts for just the inserts. I think the 40th anniversary book actually has a page for a script to a segment with...

It's interesting that, while Roosevelt Franklin was pretty much only there in the 1970s, all video sources we have for the Headball segments come from 1980s episodes (of course, the English copy of the Hard Head Henry Harris one comes from an audio recording but fans already had a video dubbed...

Although I know this was a dream Telly had, I feel it would have been more fitting for Little Jerry to have been one of the ones to invite her to the dance, since Gina was a big Little Jerry fan. And Jerry Nelson performed the Genie here, so it's not like he was unavailable to perform the...
