Today at Wal-Mart I saw two Sesame Street DVDs that I knew nithing about in advance. I didn't pay enough attention to the packaging to see if they are Wal-Mart exclusives like the initial discs that were later released as part of the TV Fun Packs, but these DVDs had the label "TV Favorites", and...

That's an interesting post. I wonder if he expected to get a official answer when he wrote the first article. Though I don't see how the trash can lid would look like a halo if drawn hinged up. Isn't a halo normally seen above the whole head as a circle? Oscar's head would be in front of the...

I've been thinking about how the show seems to have abandoned 1990s segments, and how very few pre-HD segments outside of Elmo's World have been on the show this year... It's bad enough that a few years ago they even stopped showing segments with Jim Henson's invovlement (if you don't count...

I got issue 10 today. I wasn't too excited about the Muppet Mash storyarc at first, but it seems like each issue is better than the previous one. Still, we've gone through three issues of this storyarc, and Sweetums has been the only recurring monster to appear in them. A few original monster...

I've just noticed that the dates of all journal entries posted correspond with whatever dates the entries are posted on the website.

If it is an existing street story with a different number and inserts, then this'll be the first time they did that since the format changed.

Ironically, as far as I know, none of the Elmo's World segments were made in HD (not even the ones made for season 39... I don't think they made any new ones for seasons 40 or 41... The "Frogs" episode doesn't count).

Wow, it seems the 1990s is getting phased out faster than the 1970s and 1980s have.

Over the years many segments have been released on video and/or DVD many times. Many of them are classic and pretty much expected to be rereleased every so often (C is for Cookie, Rubber Duckie, The Alligator King), while others seem a bit random to release so much (Marilyn Horne's "C is for...

It seems like the openign scenes in many of the season premieres reintroduced many of the characters. While this seems like a good idea, I wonder if there was really a point to it. After all, as far as I know reruns were still shown daily between the season finale and premiere, so it's not like...

I was thinking it would be interesting if there was a DVD spotlightig the various Muppet performers. Perhaps each section could include a mini-documentary on a performer followed by several complete inserts of their characters. This would be a good line-up for a collection focusing on the...

Have any 1990s segments even been on the show this season? It's bad enough that they stopped showing Jim Henson's performances a few years ago (and I prefer the '80s to the '90s, and the '70s to the '80s). It will be sad if we get to the first-ever season since season 35 to not include Nora...

It's Big and Small Bonanza Day with Elmo.

It would be great if Disney would find some way to rerelease Muppet Magazine. Maybe make a special release of many of the best articles and comics from the magazine. Or maybe a CD_rom of all the issues, similar to the Complete Mad Magazine CD-rom released ten years ago. I hope that season 4...

I was just looking at the website and only now noticed the part that mentioned that Jim Henson put one-word journal entries on what he did each day. Now it makes sense that these are small entries, with occasional elaborated detailed information added. I thought I read that Henson kept...

So did True Mud have an ending that explained why the main character took a mudbath despite not being a grouch?

I thought her acting was okay. At the very least, it was better than her acting in that SNL sketch (though the poor acting could have been intentional).

I just remembered that when I first heard African Alphabet, I wondered if Ladysmith Black Mambazo was the a capella group seen in Put Down the Duckie and that segment with Paul Simon. I figured they sounded like them but wasn't completely sure. Considering the visuals for the segments I...

Here's an entry about the first taping of Sesame Street sketches. http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2010/09/29/9291969/ Oddly enough, it says "Filming begins on CTW Show", and it's dated September 1969... I would have thought filming of inserts would have begun earlier, before the summer...

Who knows? Maybe she didn't want to participate in the 20th anniversary special, maybe there was some other reason... I'd hate to suggest this but maybe she died before the 20th anniversary (we don't really know much about what the many kids from the show have done since they were last on the...
