Actually I read it was September 1989. Sample pages for the 40th anniversary book were shown on Tough Pigs before the book came out, and info on Jim's last day appeared in one of the sample pages (which was not in the final version of the book).

Actually it's widely sourced that the performers work freelance. When Steve Whitmire was interviewed for Tough Pigs in 2008 he said that even with Disney owning the Muppets the Muppet performers remain freelance (I wonder if that's changed with the recent movie). But I have read of occasions...

I watched Scent of the Reptile (and Earl and Pearl) last night. It's been awhile since I last watched Working Girl (most of the last season episodes are average, but there are some gems in the last season as well), but I recall there being hung newspapers with headlines regarding the campaign...

If you have to go without internet in your home for awhile, couldn't you go to a local library and post articles on the library computers? I don't know how it is with all libraries so yours may be different (I assume there's a library iny our town) but my local libraries allow internet access...

Well she was only seen and mentioned in one episode. Dinosaurs didn't seem to have much continuity, events from past episodes were rarely mentions (one notable exception being at the begnning of "And the Winner Is..." while in "Working Girl" when Charlene applies for a job at the newspaper some...

After all the plants are distroyed, Richfield says that they've got to make it rain so the plants would grow back. But I wonder if it was that easy. Wouldn't seeds need to have been planted into the ground? Somehow I doubt the old seeds would still be able to grow plants again. I wonder if the...

I remember the first time I noticed a swear on the show, in The Mighty Megalasauras Earl said to Fran "I don't give a **** about your day". I later watched it on The Disney Channel to see if it was cut, and it was cut. Then I noticed a few other swears, I think also in that same episode (Fran...

Very good article. Considering this multi-part article debuted shortly after my top 40 greatest Muppet Show sketches article, I feel like it would be fitting if after this somebody else (i.e. not you or me) did a multi-part series of Sesame Street articles. It would have to be up to whoever...

I wonder if they planned on ending the show this way when it started. Though the box set for the first season says that the creators made the show to figure out what really killed the dinosaurs: "Was it the ice age? A meteor? No, those were trivial compared to what really killed the dinoaurs...

Either the day has changed early, or Sesame Workshop has once-again changed when the day changes. It is now "What We Are Day" with Abby Cadabby.

This was good. It would have made for a good celebrity montage song. Actually, it would have been better if it had a lot more characters. Maybe if it had a large number of Muppets (past and present), the human cast, and various celebrities. Maybe that'd be too big for the budget, but it'd be...

I wonder if the sketch where Ernie cleaned the apartment in 15 seconds was shot the same day as the one where Ernie and Cookie Monster plan to trick Bert by having Ernie ask if a monster plays the flute when a bell rings. In both segments, Bert is wearing a watch, something he doesn't normally...

Very good. Some thoughts: Interesting how they were rehearsing the sketch with Simon Soundman coming to Ernie's apartment. I wonder if they remade it or if they were just practicing an existing sketch for the sake of an example. Also interesting that the Simon puppet in this footage has legs...

Just watched episode 2517, with a repeated street plot starring Placido Flamingo and Olivia. It is great, though Placido isn't one of my favorite classic characters. Interesting that this episode has Lena Horne singing "How Do You Do?", and the title given on iTunes represents that segment...

I wasn't sure if I would download anything from season 25, but I downloaded episode 3137, and it is great. It's the only episode on Sesame Street Classics Volume 2 to have aired on Noggin, and improved the Muppet Wiki page to list all edited segments (though I didn't include images and ekas)...

I just watched episode 1899, and it's fantastic. Muppet Wiki had an incomplete guide to this episode but did list all the segments on that episodes talk page. It has a lot of great '80s characters, including Bruno, Ferlinghetti Donnizetti (performed by Richard Hunt), Forgetful Jones, and Simon...

I wonder if it's more work to give live-hand puppets lower halfs. Probably. But a number of live-hand characters have been seen with legs many times. I don't think Telly looks weird in full body shots, and his legs seem to be shown alot. There's also been many full-body shots of Ernie and The...

I used to assume that all four People in Your Neighborhood segments from the first season were shot on the same day, since they all feature Bob. Only three of those four have surfaced so far, but in addition to Bob being in them all, they all feature the same Anything Muppets (Fat Blue and...

Well I just got done watching episode 123, aka "Here Comes Cookie Monster". With that title I was expecting a little more Cookie Monster (aside from him being in a two-part skit and a four-part skit). It was great for me to finally see that formerly rare segment with Cookie Monster using Ernie's...

For the last year I've had some sort of problem downloading from iTunes, but now it seems to be fixed, so I've downloaded some episodes. I've downloaded "Here Comes Cookie Monster" (haven't watched it yet) and "Grover the Waiter at Your Service". The latter is a great episode. It may not be...
