    In Defense of the TV Films

    Well, they did need to give Kermit some sort of major role. I don't know if any of The Wizard of Oz characters fits his personality well enough. If it was a comic from Boom I could see them using Link or Beauregard or someone more appropriate.

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    Another good idea for an anniversary DVD would be to focus more on the history than whether the clips are among the best-known. Like try to get clips of every recurring character and sketch possible. 40 Years of Sunny Days did lack quite a few recurring characters and sketches. Here's a...

    If Noggin could do it in 2000....

    I'll have to check, but I thought that Street Gang said that Sesame Workshop sold their ownership so that they could afford to purchase the rights to the Sesame Street Muppets.

    Vote in my online awards show - The Pointless Awards!

    I'm planning on making a YouTube video called "The Pointless Awards", and I'm letting the public vote. On my YouTube channel I have already posted several short videos announcing the categories and nominees. Here's one of ten such videos: If you have a YouTube account, I prefer that you put...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    Was there ever a time when parents wouldn't let kids see PG movies on their own? Because there's one episode of Full House, where DJ is supposed to be watching her sisters and Steve shows up to take her to the movies (this was a year before they became a regular couple), they had to take...

    Questions about anything

    Do writers prefer to write scripts when they get the ideas, or do they generally prefer to wait until they think there's more of a guarantee that it'll be made? By guarantee, I mean more along the lines that they sent in a pitch (as opposed to writing a full script and sending it to studios)...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I had known that the CTW Archives in Maryland didn't have any existing video from the show. If they did I would have expected more info at Muppet Wiki (which used programming guides and such to make episode pages). Maybe the creator had him sign the contract because he doesn't want to get in...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    Of course, many segments tend to be titled differently depending on source and release. Who knows how "official" or definitive a title is supposed to be? For example, the number 3 film with a ball going down a wire-sculpture roller coaster has had many titles, usually "Henson Ball #3" or "No. 3...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I thought it was called "Crack Monster" (which, though it refers to a crack shaped like a monster, sounds like a very wrong title for a children's educational show). Back in 2008 Sesame Workshop's Facebook page allowed for fans to nominate clips for Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days. If...

    Sesame Street in 1969

    I like the first season well. I don't think anybody here has seen all 130 episodes from the first season, and I'm sure those who have don't remember every detail of the first season. I wonder how many people who watched in the first season remember stuff that haven't surfaced online or on video...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    No, I know that a kid couldn't do it on an etch-a-sketch. And I couldn't do it well on my computer (at least not as well as they do it in the movies). But I'm sure it's simple to those who work in the business and have the money and technology (yeah, I'm thinking it's not as impressive, and then...

    Call to all Little Jerry and the Monotones fans

    Maybe we should think about what Anything Muppet numbers there were in the first season that we haven't seen. Like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", I know the first season had a "Before and After" song (which in some way included Buddy and Jim as well), there was a performance of "Brotherhood of...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I wonder if the academy should just dump the "best special effects" award. These days they always just use green screen, visual effects, digital erasing, and computer animation. Special effects seem to be too simple these days (even though I don't know how they work, and I'm sure much of the...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I wonder if the critics know that comedy is harder than drama. And I'm not just talking about comedy films being overlooked for best picture. Comedies rarely appear in any categories, save best animated picture, best animated short, and best short (I never even hear about these live-action...

    TV Tropes

    In the few months I've signed up for the site, I've made edits/contributions but haven't been involved with anything else (like the message boards). What do you have to do to start a page? Because I thought of a page that I haven't seen there, maybe it is and I haven't noticed the page. I'd...
