    Ask Big Bird a Question

    The Arts Beat blog at nytimes.com is now giving fans the chance to ask Caroll Spinney and Carol-Lynn... Something, can't remember the last name, any questions we want about Sesame Street. Interestingly there are more than 500 unanswered questions posted...

    You're the Director Footage FOUND!

    I didn't want to draw attention to this, since it would have prompted people asking to trade, and I don't do trades, and the only way I would know of to put it on youtube would be to point a camera at the TV screen while playing it, but last january I actually found a copy of Let's Learn to Play...

    Will there be an Old School Vol. 3 DVD?

    I'm hoping that Warner Bros. would help work out copyright issues (unless working out rights issues would be 100 percent up to Sesame Workshop). The first week of shows also featured Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (apparently the only broadcast of that sketch on the show) and Susan singing I...

    SST 25th Anniversary Special: Stars and Street Forever

    In case you don't know, this week tough pigs has reviewed all of the Sesame Street anniversary specials, including Sesame Street's All-STar 25th Birthday: Stars and Streets Forever. This one does seem to be a bit rare compared to the others. It's never been released on video or DVD (and neither...

    Upcoming BAM Event for SST's 40th in December

    Even though I live out of town and likely won't be attending (unless pigs fly, the identity of the original Gordon is revealed, and Bruno gets rebuilt), it is a shame that the event won't include rare stuff like the four test pilots not available on DVD, Out to Lunch, and some rare non-Noggin...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    My first thought was "you can't think of anything that rhymes with Elmo? What about *** NO!" (the aesterics are intentional) But I guess that's what one might say if offered to eat Oscar's cooking.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I've noticed some things about this set in contrast to the Old School sets. For example, since all of the episodes on the old school sets were sponsored by 2, there were many 2 segments on those sets. But this set doesn't have any clips about the number 2 (unless you count Two Princes, which is...

    Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

    Now it's Fun with Elmo Day. The "recently added" bar doens't show anything newly-added, but the main video page shows the Adam Sandler song from next season. I don't remember that being on the site... Maybe I should search for things not listed there.

    "Grover Serves a Burger" - ahead of it's time?

    I've heard of White Castle, but not the Slyders. I don't normally eat White Castle food, and when I do it's usually just chicken rings.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    I was thinking about how the "Behind the Street" feature has a "turn on" and "turn off" option, and I wonder if maybe that feature is a series of introductions for certain clips, allowing viewers to choose between watching all the clips with or without them. It's a long shot. Have there been any...

    "Grover Serves a Burger" - ahead of it's time?

    In the sketch where Mr. Johnson orders a hamburger, he is dsapointed at how small the small hamburgers are. But recently, Burger King sold "mini-burgers". I never actually had any of those to eat, but I think they might have been similar in size to the small hamburgers at Charlie's Restaurant...

    The Muppet Mindset

    Looking back, I am surprised that I didn't include any of the Muppet Show "season 1" characters.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    Looks like I might have been right after all. The clip I think it is is at sesamestreet.org under the similar title Grover's Important Meal. I would have given it a title like "Grover's Resraurant: Food Chain".

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    I have noticed lately that performers rarely comment on recasts, unless they are the ones who have taken over and they comment on their own performances of the recasts (and it's mainly Steve Whitmire who has commented on his portrayals of who he's been recast as). Caroll Spinney never mentioned...

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    No, if you look at that list, you'll see that it has "Pop-Up Facts" followed by "Turn Feature On" and "Turn Feature Off", and then it lists "Behind the Street", followed by "Turn Feature On" and "Turn Feature Off".

    Pre-Order Sesame Street 40 Years DVD Boxset

    When I first saw that list, I misread AlphaQuest: R as "Alphabet Chat: R", listed under season 21, and then I saw that it was in episode 1800 from season 13 and thought there was a major error there. I am confused about how "Behind the Street" has options to "turn on" an d"turn off". I...

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    He sort of also got the upper-hand in the picture menu sketch... He got his sandwhich to match the one in the picture when his lunch hour was over (I assume he meant the time he needed to get back to work on time), but he didn't seem to be upset at all over the fact that he didn't get his food...

    Select Muppet DVDs Include Magnets

    Hmmm, not too interested in these, but then again, they're probably DVDs that have been out for awhile (unless the annoucned Studio DC DVDs come out relatively soon after the official release date is announced).

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    You know, it's not alwasy Grover's fault. He tried to convince Mr. Johnson to order a few small hamburgers over the big one. Mr. Johnson didn't tell him how he wanted the #9 special of the day cooked. And outside of the restaurant sketches, Grover tried to warn him that the wig he wanted to buy...

    Mr. Johnson always complains about Grover's service...

    In most waiter Grover sketches, Mr. Johnson often complains about Grover's service. But one thing that he seems to overlook is the fact that it seems to only take Grover a few seconds after ordering to bring his food to him. Think about it... He makes his order, Grover goes through the doors...
