I never noticed that the U/V segment was different in the A&E Biography. And yet Caroll Spinney performed Lefty in both that and the version at sesamestreet.org. And the first season show content doesnt' show any signs of there being two versions in the same year (no "RE-DO" note by the skit, no...

I don't really understand what was so scary about it. I was a little bit surprised that all those clips can be played all the way through, and with no individual images in the chapter stops (which would make it easier for kids). I sometimes wonder if Sesame Workshop tries hard not to make...

It is a shame that there's no official sources that mention how the inserts are stored. Sesame Workshop has reportedly remastered every episode a few times over the years (and maybe the copies used for sesamestreet.org are those copies), even before Noggin got started. The CTW archives has files...

The two actors who played him didn't even get their own pages in the 40th anniversary book (just pictures and acknowledgements in the "coming and going" section). And unlike Mr. Hooper and David, there was no on-screen explanation for Mr. Handford's departure (he wasn't even mentioned by name in...

It was said that Bobo and Pepe will be animal companions to Snow White. Judging by the cover, has Rowlf replaced Bobo? I see Pepe on the cover but not Bobo, and it was said that the seventh dwarf will end up being somebody from The Jim Henson Hour (well Rowl WAS on the Jim Henson Hour...).

I watched all Lena Horne's Sesame Street appearances and her TMS appearance yesterday. All three of her SST appearances are on the main video page at sesamestreet.org (I recall different clips being there at the top yesterday but now the first three videos feature Lena).

It is now "Rosita Day", hosted by... Oh, who is it again? Forgetful Jones? Ovejita? Leslie Mostly? Oh, that's right, it's hosted by Rosita!

I wonder if we should start making bets on when they'll announce a release of Timepiece and other experimental films.... (no, I'm not actually willing to bet!)

It's a shame that none of Judy Collins' performances were included on that DVD. Hopefully Water Cantata will be added soon, to either sesamestreet.org, youtube, or hulu. But I don't consider it a "holy grail" (not in the same way as I viewed Henson #1, "There's a Hole in the Bucket", or Telly's...

This is real exciting and unexpected news! I saw this on youtube a few years ago, and I forget just about every clip that appears (I should probably be punished for my irresponsibility). It's interesting that Elmo appears on the cover. I don't believe he appears in any of the clips. And this...

With the exceptions of Piggy and Sam, have any of the other classic Muppet Show characters ever even interracted with Andy and Randy? Seems like they only interracted with other newer characters on Muppets Tonight (in addition to Clifford, the guest stars and above-mentioned characters, of...

The 40th anniversary book has some images from that. The song is called Water Cantata.

This was pretty much determiend for awhile at Muppet Wiki (though I wish I'd see an official statement from either Henson or Sesame Workshop... I'm pretty sure he still gets residuals from the appearances, so they'd have to have his name on file). Somebody found the claim at imdb, and brought it...

I've been wondering about Sesame Workshop's master tapes for the inserts. Could there be multiple master copies of various sketches? There are sketches that seem to be edited or altered in certain broadcasts, and I would expect new masters to be made in these cases. But I wonder... Could...

I got a copy of issue #4 today. Looking at the cover, I can't help but wonder if I've found some "Hidden Mickey's". There are two sections where we see two shadowy heads covered in black with outlines, and can't help but think of them as Mickey's ears. In the bottom row we see two blackened...

Sony Wonder did include special features on a number of DVDs, though most of them were either "kiddie fluff" or bonus sketches (I don't object to bonus clips from the show... the more inserts released commercially the better!). From the Sony Wonder days there were quite a few features on the Do...

I doubt Elmo interracted with Professor Hastings, The Busby Twins, Sam the Robot, Lefty, or Leslie Mostly.

It's good to know what's in Count TV. I don't have an iPhone, but that list is interesting (though I think all of them are also available at sesamestreet.org). I do find it odd that it doesn't include any Jazz or Pinball segments (or Mad Painter). It's especially disapointing that no Jazz is...

Muppet Wiki now has a full listing of segments in The Best of Elmo 2, including celebrities who weren't mentioned previously (such as Ray Charles and Jack Black). Only a few non-celebrity clips are included, most of which sound disapointing. I wonder what the next-to-be-announced release...
