Last night I dreamt I saw a clip from the first season of Sesame Street where Grover was not performed by Frank Oz or any other performer whose voice I could identify, but I checked Muppet Wiki and saw that it was Daniel Segren. Thought it was odd that it was identified, as there aren't many...

I mistakenly thought that the one non-Count Muppet segment included was also the same Muppet segment included in Elmo's Super Numbers, but I was wrong. Turns out there's two similar segments with a fish (performed by Kevin Clash) counting - the one on Elmo's Super Numbers was about the number...

It wouldn't surprise me if a Count clip was selected due to the recent release of "Count on Elmo", though that one didn't exactly spotlight the character (there's a clip montage of Count moments - and Count Up to Nine is not included among the clips - and the Number of the Day Song plays during...

I think that Shrek 2 is good but not as great as the first one. And even though you didn't ask, I'll tell you that I find Shrek 3 forgettable (there was a period where I seriously forgot what the plot even was) and Shrek Fourever After (or whatever the title was) was a lot better than 2 and 3...

Top ten movies that really didn't need sequels: Please note that this list does not reflect my opinions of the first film, nor does it reflect my opinions of the sequels, and in some cases I haven't seen the sequel. Some of these I really liked, some I just liked, if not disliked (but the #1...

I wonder how many tropes need to be listed on a works page before it gets that "alphabetical index" thingy. I've noticed it on a lot of pages. For TV shows, for example, it's on pages for such long-running shows as The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park (I think it's there for American Dad and...

I just watched the preview and the video again, and the song does have extra verses, sung by Grover and Cookie Monster.

Yes. The first half is new linking material taking place before the ceremony (as well as various number inserts), then the ceremony street story appears, and then there's a new scene at the very end following the ceremony.

Something I've been thinking about that I've been trying to remember today: Since the late-1990s, have the majority of shows added to Nick at Nite always been the first show of the evening when they are new? I know there would have at least been some exceptions (like Newhart, which when it...

I don't remember. I'll have to watch both the video and the preview again.

Well I just watched the whole DVD. It's really not bad, except for the disappointing selection of inserts. Most of them appeared in last years "Elmo's Super Numbers" DVD (I wondered if they just took that DVD and copied parts of it), including the only Muppet skit on there (which is the only...

One thing about the "All Together Now" bit that I forgot to mention: It feels like when an uncool person (especially a lame parent) trying and failing to be cool, except it's not quite cringe-worthy, nor is it a "so bad it's good"/"so unfunny it's hilarious" quality (which is the usual result...

Watching "Count on Elmo" right now. At the beginning, there is a montage of Count clips, including some classics ones, though it doesn't go as far back as the 1970s (I think 1981 is the farthest back it goes). One thing that wasn't announced was that this is packaged with an Elmo the Musical...

Today I was watching a bonus feature on the Dumb and Dumber To DVD, and at some points it showed images from the script, with "first draft" noted under the title. In an age where most writers probably use a computer to write, is it really necessary to note which draft it is? I mean, when you...

You have a point, but I feel like this is a weak attempt at that compared to what the Muppets did on variety shows. The girl appears to be as square as her parents (maybe they made her that way) and this particular performance of the song is kinda dull for a performance of a Beatles song.

So Larry, Darryl, and Darryl usually act as one, or at least the two Darryl's do. It's not often we see one without the other two, most plots involving them involve all three. There are quite a few though that involve Larry a bit more than all three. But just last week I've also noticed that the...

I had trouble deciding on whether to do this here or start a separate thread, but I'd like to post thoughts on many of the first season segments that have just recently surfaced. Back in 2007 Muppet Wiki added scans of the first season show content to...

Well, there are the factors that Sesame Street is most likely (but it can be debatable) the most iconic, longest-running, still-on-the-air "preschool program". So there's a lot of good reasons for Sesame Workshop to put out stuff for its older fans than others. Sesame Workshop did put out a...

I don't think that's something that needs the "spoiler" thingy.

Wow, seems a little weird that they wouldn't allow patrons to look at the magazines. The only reason I can think of that they would use for research purposes would be to use the TV Guide descriptions for the official descriptions for each program. Not sure if that's what they use for the...
