    The "You know what?" thread

    Sesame Street had a numbers song medley with Pantatonix, maybe there should be a letters song medley with some music grouc (maybe even Pentatonix again). Maybe include ABC-DEF-GHI, J Friends, La La La (or The National Association of W Lovers), D Duah Duah (or Disco D), and I in the Sky (and...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Okay, I'm looking at a still image at Muppet Wiki, and I guess it was a collection of rarities or things that at least weren't mainstream, as the videos included Fritz the Cat, Meet the Feebles (which I thought was from the 1990s), the Eric Stoltz edit of Back to the Future, and some stuff I...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    This episode was actually referenced on The Goldbergs tonight. There's a scene where Adam is shown going to Johnny Adkins for some bootleg videos, and "Sesame Street Episode 847" is listed on one of the labels. When i first saw the titles listed on the tape labels and noticed Sesame Street...

    Trash vs. Doin' the Trash

    I thought it was about trash. About being so passionate about trash. And some of it seems to be about where you can find trash and how to handle it. And some of the lyrics suggest that the singer might have grown up poor so most of his toys were recycled from trash items.

    Questions about anything

    It's almost as if the '90s dinosaur craze began with Dinosaurs and then ended with the similarly-titled Dinosaur. And both being rather generic titles for works about dinosaurs.

    Questions about anything

    Dinosaurs are a rather popular species, but is it just me, or did dinosaurs get a sudden popularity surge with kids in the early 1990s, with Dinosaurs, Barney, and Jurassic Park, among other things that might have factored in a dinosaur popularity renaissance? I'd say that The Land Before Time...

    Your Thoughts: Mister Rogers' "It's You I Like" 50th Anniversary Special

    It aired on my local PBS affiliate today (at 10 or 11 in the morning... I would have thought this would be a prime time or early evening special). I didn't pay attention to the whole thing, but I did pay attention to the parts with Caroll Spinney. I don't know how long ago this was recorded...

    Dr. Seuss Discussion Thread

    It's Dr. Seuss's birthday, and there's a few things I have on my mind, or have had on my mind recently. Anybody think it's odd that Horton Hatches the Egg came before Horton Hears a Who, and yet "Hears a Who" is the one that was adapted into both a television special and a movie, while...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For the last few years, I've been seeing a number of reviews for the SNL movie It's Pat, and some things at TV Tropes about the character, saying that the movie and concept of the character can be a little uncomfortible now in an age where transgendered people are more common and accepted by...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sometimes there'll be deleted scenes from movies that I'm aware of (especially with some of the Muppet movies), the scenes often don't make it to the bonus features, the people working on the movie don't talk about where it appeared in the movie or why it was cut (at least not in any source I've...

    Little things we've noticed

    Back in 2002, after looking at Jim Henson: The Works for the first time, I noticed that Kermit very rarely wears shoes, even when he's otherwise fully dressed (he did wear shows when appearing in a few parody roles in Muppet Magazine). One of the few times he wore shoes was during the...

    Little things we've noticed

    Although Steve Whitmire started performing Ernie in 1993, it seems like they were REALLY trying to give Kermit a Sesame Street comeback in 1996 or 1997. Of course it seems Whitmire might have had a limited Sesame Street schedule at first (and he's rarely been any other characters on Sesame...

    Trash vs. Doin' the Trash

    The two Sesame Street disco albums, Sesame Street Fever and Sesame Disco, include different songs about trash, that I don't think were done on the show. "Fever" has "Trash" with Robin Gibb while "Disco" has Doin' the Trash with Oscar the Grouch. But which one do you all think is better? It is a...

    Little things we've noticed

    Often when broadcast versions of songs are included on albums, they'll use pre-recorded tracks as opposed to just taking the audio from the master video tape. This is evident in certain lines of spoken dialogue that played over the music being ommitted (like Biff's spoken dialogue and the...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    So glad to see a real full English copy of We Coulda. I would have thought Biff's line about being presidents would have been "we could have been presidents of the USA!", as opposed to "United States", to rhyme with "hay" and "but anyway...". At least one commentor said the same thing. It's...

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    Listening to the album, I feel like this shows Baby Gonzo sounds like a Steve Whitmire character. I keep hearing Wembly Fraggle (as well as Bean Bunny and Rizzo, but I think of Wembley the most) when I hear him talk.

    Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

    One thing I'm surprised about (and surprised I didn't think about sooner) is that, as far as we know, there's not going to be a Baby Pepe.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    I've never been to the Paley Center, but from what I understand, visitors can watch whatever they want (that the museum has) anytime they go.

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    I have seen that recently. And it is interesting how currently there's very few known instances of multiple segments being taped on the same day (and most of them seem to be from 1989). The version with just Ray Charles appears on the DVD Alphabet Songs. It actually shows him singing the...
