I realized that today is officially The Count's birthday, which Sesame Street noted on its official Facebook page. I sort of wish today's "throwback thursday" clip would have been a rare Count segment, though the one we got today was great as well.

Well I got Elmo's Super Numbers this morning and am watching it right now. It has the Numeric Con street story intercut with number segments. So far, most of the segments aren't exactly memorable (there are exceptions, like the 1 Limeric sung by Christopher Cerf). So far no Muppet number inserts...

Sesame Workshop added another rare clip I had never heard of (and I'm surprised it has already been added this early in the morning):

It's a shame that these aren't packaged with a 45th anniversary logo.

So The Name Game is copyrighted.... But with so many names that can be used, would any cover be required to pay a licensing fee, or would they normally fall under free use parody? I know the song was a pop song, which I only remember hearing once, with the singer singing some "name game"...

Vampires don't have reflections, but is that enough for their clothes to not have reflections? I would think maybe their outfits would show up in the mirror, but they don't. So maybe it's too difficult a film trick (though it'd probably be easier to do today). Maybe clothes loses its reflection...

So in the Child Play movies, Chuckie is part of a line of "Good Guy" dolls, which also includes such names as Oscar and Tommy... Yet they all look identical. What's the deal with this? If they're going to have different names, why not different looks as well?

If they release more, I wonder what characters would be more likely to be included: "old school" or "modern"? Does Funko normally do these in "series"? I know that when Funko released additional Muppet toys the company only put out two new ones, is this the case whenever any Funko line continues...

Well, it's been announced that Funko will release a series of vinyl Sesame Street figures, starting with a Super Grover exclusive, and a full series being released in 2015, consisting of Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Grover, Oscar, and The Count. http://www.toughpigs.com/funko-ss/

Something I just realized: In one segment, Scred comes on stage dressed as a bee, only for that week's bee sketch to be cut from the show. He says it was going to be an all-bee version of The Andry Griffin Show, with Scred playing the role of Aunt Bee. And yet that's really the only bee-related...

I wonder if there's an index for "opposite" tropes, meaning two or more separate tropes that are opposites of each other, like "Screw the rules, I have money!" and "Screw the money, I have rules!" (and there are a few other "screw the rules, I..." tropes).

Lately, Sesame Workshop has been putting out special compilation "collections" on YouTube, themed around different topics. I wonder if any of these will feature any rare clips not available at sesamestreet.org or Sesame Workshop's YouTube channels (or even some clips that aren't exactly rare but...

I'd never heard of that one before (could it have been mentioned in guides on the wiki and I just don't remember? I'm pretty sure it hadn;t been on the Cookie Monster and Ernie sketches page before today). It feels like a first season sketch, since Ernie addresses Cookie Monster as "monster" and...

I recently saw a YouTube comment (I think it was on an upload of "The U/V Salesman") from somebody who said that Caroll felt claustophobic when performing in Anything Muppet segments. If that's true then it seems weird... In those Muppet inserts, it seems there's plenty of room to move around...

Considering that in the early years it was common for segments to use pre-recorded vocals on non-song segments (even if all the characters were only used in that one segment, meaning it wouldn't matter what they sound like), I wonder why they didn't have Loretta Long just dub the spoken dialogue...

Leave It to Beaver Series 1: Beaver Wally Ward June Series 2: Eddie Lumpy Larry Gilbert

Maybe because it was done on Sesame Street first? It seems like nothing that was done on Sesame Street was remade for variety show appearances (yeah, a few songs written for the show would be done again on the show and other appearances, but that doesn't count). Though Mahna Mahna premiered on...

Or maybe the smurfs are all attracted to Smurfette without the attraction being for sexual reasons (I know, hard to believe...). But yeah, I was going to also say that just because Smurf women presumably can't have babies doesn't mean that Smurfs can't mate (I bet that would be any teenage...

Which sketch did you see? I like the ones that I saw, but I've read that the problem was that the SNL writers usually wrote them, but didn't want to write them (to the point that they actually drew straws to determine who wrote that week's sketch). Jim Henson did end up writing one of the...

Are there any websites like The Muppet Mindset and The Mickey Mindset, where in addition to articles from the webmasters, the fans can also send in articles? That seems like a concept that should catch on with other fanbases. I'd like to see a Looney Tunes website like that.
