    Sesame Street Classic episodes now streaming on Netflix

    No. Just the episodes from seasons 1, 10, and 20 that iTunes released in 2011.

    Sesame Street Classic episodes now streaming on Netflix

    Well I watched the first two episodes of Play with Me Sesame on Netflix. Not sure if they are really the first two episodes, but they are copyrighted 2002, when the show began. And I haven't seen the Prairie Dawn art segment, so I'm guessing they're cut from these (or they're the Sprout...

    Sesame Street Classic episodes now streaming on Netflix

    I haven't had time to watch thee Play with Me Sesame episodes yet. I wonder if they are the first 24 episodes made/broadcast, or a random order of episodes.* I wonder if they are the Noggin versions or Sproud versions (I've read that the Sprout broadcasts replaced the segments where Prairie Dawn...

    For the first time on YouTube ever...

    Considering we recently finally got to see the Sesame Street performance of Lucy in the Sky with Dimonds out of the blue on YouTube as well as the fact that the rare Crack Master clip was uploaded last year, it wouldn't surprise me if Out to Lunch eventually makes its way to YouTube. Wait...

    Dreams about Muppets...

    I recently had a dream that there was a new CGI version of the Sesame Street cartoon with the dancing dog pretending to be an alligator, except this was more from the dog's point of view (perhaps more of a sequel to the segment?). In this one, before his owner is about to go to bed, the dog...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 "Thoughts"

    I wonder if the UK spots from the Christopher Reeve and Andy Williams episodes were intended for the opposite episodes. I've recently watched the UK spot from the Andy Williams episode, and I noticed that some photos of Superman appear in the background of that scene. He does appear in the...

    TV Tropes

    Today I was looking at the fridge brilliance page for The Simpsons, and a lot the "fridge brilliance" pointed out seems more like "hilarious in hindsight" or "wild man guessing" tropes than fridge brilliance. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case in more "fridge" pages. A lot of The...

    Questions about anything

    Why do people tend to feel the need to apologize for reviving old threads? Seems to happen a lot when somebody replies to a thread that hadn't had any activity in years, but there's no rule against it (some forums do, though... The old Golden Age Cartoons forum was one such forum). Do people...

    Camille Kampouris Appreciation Thread

    I thought I'd start an appreciation thread for Camille Kampouris (aka Camille Bonora, before she was married). She was a major Muppet performer throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and then it seems like she stopped. She's one of the few long-running performers whose departure we know nothing about...

    Labyrinth sequel in development - Variety report

    Many people were reporting on Labyrinth sequel "news" because that's the one "in development" (NOT!) project mentioned that we didn't know about... But it seems we've all ignored the fact that it also mentions an Emmet Otter movie (probably not), which I had never heard of. Where's all the big...

    The Muppet Show Season 4 "Thoughts"

    I've mentioned in another thread that it seems like this season has the least amount of changes from the previous season. But it is odd how this season there's so many new characters who don't appear much, but are newly-built puppets as opposed to whatnots. I assume that Winny was meant to be...

    So, I went to Sesame Workshop today...

    So did Sesame Workshop provide transportation costs, or did you have to pay for that yourself (of course I don't know whether or not you live in the basic area)? They "joked" about Muppet Wiki being wrong about Fran Brill performing Miss Muffet in the Let's Eat video? I haven't seen that...

    So, I went to Sesame Workshop today...

    Congratulations. During your visit, did you happen to ask if there are more plans than what we know for the 45th anniversary?

    Is JHC No Longer Involved with Alexander?

    According to the review at The Mickey Mindset, Henson did co-produce the film. http://mickeymindset.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/review-alexander-and-the-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-day/ I do want to see this movie, but I don't know when I'll have the time.

    TV Tropes

    There's many movies and TV shows that weren't successful that have examples of "retroactive recognition" that eventually become cult favorites because somebody in the cast became a bigger star years later. I wonder if there should be a trope for works that are more-or-less the opposite: Shows...

    Questions about anything

    So whenever there's a Saturday Night Live release spotlighting the best of a certain cast member or host, do they need permission from the spotlighted individual (or their estate) to make such a release? I'm guessing they don't need permission to put their material on the video, and the featured...

    Your Thoughts: "Jim Henson: The Biography" by Brian Jay Jones

    It's interesting, you say in the book that he ran it like a great businessman, while Street Gang says that he didn't run the company like a great businessman. Though in Street Gang it says that because he couldn't get himself to fire anybody (though he clearly did arrange for Jack Burns to be...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Well, the Numeric Con street story was great, but very few of the inserts were. There was only one Muppet insert, with a fish counting to five (interestingly, it's the only Muppet clip that shows up on sesamestreet.org in a search for "Henson", but Jim Henson is not credited for performing...
