    Do celebrities charge autographs now?

    I had no idea that celebrities actually charged autographs (I know that some refuse to give them. Many years ago I read a newspaper article about celebrities who do and don't give autographs, and it mentioned one in particular who has body guards who prevent fans from asking). Then again, I...

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

    Actually if the opening was cut for purposes of marathon watching (how often do people "marathon watch" shows on DVD, anyway? And I think I'd still want to see the opening and closing if I was "marathon watching") the opening should be on the first episodes of both discs. Was the same opening...

    I Miss the Munsters :(

    I recall reading in the Nick at Nite 1997 calendar that it was considered too expensive to film in color and that the characters were considered too ugly for color.

    Vivendi to release new Fraggle Rock DVDs and other Henson Classics

    I wonder if the recent Fraggle Rock music video with Ben Fold Five will be included on one of the rereleases.

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

    If there is a fourth Old School volume, I think it should do what is (apparrently) being done with the "Goodbye, Mr. Hooper" episode here, include the street scenes from certain episodes in addition to full episodes and classic cuts. Assuming volume 4 focuses on seasons 16-20, it'd be most...

    Your Thoughts: A Special Sesame Street Christmas DVD and CD

    That was a good review. I had no idea this was going to have bonus features (even if the bonuses aren't much, considering they're also on the CD release).

    Jerry Juhl and MTM

    Well, we all know that Jim wasn't as involved with Fraggle Rock as other productions, and during the 1980s Jim was busy with many projects at the same time (I think the red book site has mentioned a few times that Jim would spend weekends flying from his new york office to toronto and then to...

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

    Looking online, the Cab Calloway number is a parody, so I assume that shouldn't be a problem, and I thought that all Beethoven music had become public domain long before Sesame Street even started. Still, I wonder if it's really due to any celebrity appearances. Though I think all of the...

    Maybe he was busy with Fraggle Rock.

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

    I had no idea the Barkley segment was a song. I had seen an "in and out" segment with Barkley and Maria, which I don't remember including any singing, and then I read here that that segment was a remake of a segment with Luis. Well, we have just five more days until the big day (which...

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

    The DVD Talk review referred to it as "In/Out with Barkley", so it's not actually the disco song with monsters.

    Disney buying Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode VII coming in 2015

    I wonder what Star Wars stuff Disney has the full distribution rights to. I'd assume Fox still owns the distribution rights to the films. Worst case scenario: We'll see Andy and Randy team up with Jar-Jar.

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

    Does the booklet include an interview with any characters, like the booklets for the first two volumes?

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

    When I read the DVD Talk review and saw that one of the bonus clips mentioned was Rainy Day Song, I thought the song title sounded familiar, though I thought it was a song sung by Bob (forgetting that that one is from the early 1970s). Then I looked it up on Muppet Wiki, and seeing the image...

    See the "A" icon? That's text color. If you change the text to white, text will appear invisible. The only way to make white text visible is to highlight. And that's how you can hide spoilers.

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

    Do the episodes have introductions like the first two sets do? Are there any "disclaimers" that the set is intended for nostalgiac adults? I feel like there's a way but not entirely sure.

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten lines from the Back to the Future trilogy: 10. "Great Scott!" "I know, this is heavy." 9. "Nobody... Calls me... Chicken" 8. "Hey, Chuck, it's Marvin. You're cousin, Marvin Berry.

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

    I'm pretty sure I know what that is. I've seen the back cover which has an image and I know it was in season 11.

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

    Doesn't the booklet list the bonus segments? Does the set contain any "Teeny Little Super Guy" segments? Does the set include any of the following rare characters from this era: Aristotle, Deena and Pearl, or Leslie Mostly? I know that many older episodes have the theme music playing at...

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

    Here's another review: http://www.ksitetv.com/dvd-reviews/dvd-review-sesame-street-old-school-volume-3/17376 It doesn't mention what bonus segments are included, but it does mention something unfortunate: The episodes are presented without the original opening sequence. I don't know why that...
