    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    no. The image in question is on page 105. There's a picture of Big Bird and Snuffy from the joggin episode, and besides that are two behind-the-scenes images of The Count at the bridge, holding a microphone. The text seems to confirm that it's from the same episode (there's also a picture and...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    Maybe I shouldn't be surprised, but I haven't found any copies of this today. In fact I went through five stores (including two different Wal-Marts) before I could find Old School: Volume 3.

    Looking for a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode

    Today I found that there's a DVD available of every Fractured Fairy Tales segment. Not sure if you'd want to check out that release just to figure out which one it is (or see if you were right about it being FFT). In "The Moose That Roared", it had mentioned that Jay Ward actually considered...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Some more thoughts and observations: The "Dr. Noble Price: Talky Stick" segment does not have the News Flash logo nor any mention of Sesame Street News, though it does have the theme music (somebody on Muppet Wiki mentoned that it's an "urgent" variation of the theme song, but the logo isn't...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Well, so far so good. I've watched episodes 1576 and 1836, and many of the bonus clips (including everything that I previously hadn't heard of). I've noticed some mistakes and contradictory information in the booklet. It says that Polly Darton debuted in season 13, while one segment with her...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    I would have thought maybe they could have added in a few last-minute (I wonder if incorrectly including "Henson Ball #3" was a last-minute addition). Regardless of when it was planned it's a little odd this set didn't include a little more to showcase Jerry's talents. Though I just remembered...

    Calvin and Hobbes

    A few more of my personal favorite strips: Calvin smells dinner and complains about it, stating "whatever it is, I'm not gonna eat it!" But when his mom says it's monkey heads, he happily eats it... Only for the dad to complain and even quote Calvin's earlier "whatever it is I'm not gonna eat...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    I had no idea one of the episodes didn't have the theme in the first place (I wonder if it had to do with the first week of season 11 being edited into the hour-long "Sesame Street Goes to Puerto Rico" special). Speaking of the DVD quality, I am impressed by the quality of the behind-the-scenes...

    Looking for a Rocky and Bullwinkle episode

    I have the first four seasons, and I know that the last season only showed repeats of all the supporting segments (with the main "Rocky and Bullwinkle" storylines being the only new material), but I don't know which one you're talking about. But when I watch the DVDs I often watch the whole...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    It seems character rights must be easier for Sesame Workshop to obtain than song rights. The previous Old School volumes and the 40th anniversary set managed to clear quite a few, many by choice (as opposed to them appearing in episodes selected which if they couldn't be cleared would mean...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    No, Bobby wasn't in Ernest Goes to Camp. The chefs, Jake and Eddy, were played by Galaird Sartain (who played Bobby's fat brother Chuck in Ernest Saves Christmas, Ernest Goes to Jail, and Hey Vern It's Ernest) and Daniel Butler (who also played Earl the barber, Ernest's tongue, and a robot on...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    Ever since I read that this set only has five extra clips per season, I thought it'd be cool if Sesame Workshop put out a single-disc release of segments from 1979-1984, maybe call it "Old School Lite" (I'd like to see such a single-disc release of bonus clips from the first 15 seasons). It...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    So... Does the "Dr. Nobel Price Umbrella" behind-the-scenes clip correspond to anything that appears in this set? All other behind-the-scenes clips do. Wow, it looks like none of the bonus clips include The Count or Herry (unless they are part of "the cast" in Trash Outta Heaven). Considering...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    Regarding season 12 having 4 instead of 5 clips, I wonder if that was an oversight. I noticed that on the Honk Around the Clock page lists Old School Volume 3 as a video release yet that's Honk Around the Clock is not listed on the page. According to Muppet Wiki's Sesame Street News Flash...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    Thinking about how some people will want to sell celebrity autographs, particularly if the celebrities have died and are worth millions, I remember back in my days thinking if I met any of my favorites I'd have to be sure to get multiple autographs (at least one for me to always keep and the...

    My favorite animated films include Snow White, Pinnocchio, Dumbo, Fun and Fancy Free, 101 Dalmations, The Jungle Book, Peter Pan, The Aristocats, The Rescuers, The Black Cauldren, A Goofy Movie (it's a shame Pocahauntas got more publicity), Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mickey's Three...

    Calvin and Hobbes

    With all the talk about Calvin and Hobbes in the Family Circus movie thread I thought it'd be good to see if there was an actual Calvin and Hobbes thread here (or to start one if there wasn't). The first time I saw Calvin was on one of those unlicensed images where it appeared Calvin was...

    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    It was in 1995 and I don't remember everything. And although I had seen some of the Ernest movies I wasn't that big of a fan yet and didn't remember Bobby from any of them (and the only ones I had seen were ones he was in). In fact I think that experience is what made me a bigger fan of Ernest...

    Calvin and Hobbes

    I have several of the Calvin and Hobbes books, and have been rereading them a bit recently. I enjoyed one storyline which seems to have a number of twists. It starts off with Calvin ready to turn in his math homework, only for the numbers to leave the paper and the paper to catch on fire...

    Muppeteers' MC User Names

    I recall him mentioning in an interview on The MuppetCast that he kept forgetting his password. I'm a little surprised nobody's mentioned that Michael Earl Davis has posted here, using his own name as his user name.
