    Sketches and Songs on Sesame Street videos

    I recently read at Muppet Wiki that she was called Susan in the book release, but the video changes her name. Same with Slimey in The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. I think Maria's name was also changed for the video of Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street, though in that same video, Mr...

    limits on outdated content

    I don't ever remember seeing any disco skits on the show. I always assumed that all disco skits were retired after disco died (even though the 1990 video Dance-Along featured ABC Disco). Now that I think of it, it seems to me like the majority of first season sketches that continued to be...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    Considering that Dave Goelz would normally give Zoot's scripted lines away to other characters whenever he could, it's interesting that Goelz would improvise a line for Zoot.

    Any info on Dinosaurs Seasons 3-4?

    Actually, I remember that episode much better than I remember the other camping episode (though there are other non-ABC episodes that I remember much better), and in my mind I was thinking it was that one. I don't think this episode is very memorable, with the only really funny scenes being the...

    Any info on Dinosaurs Seasons 3-4?

    So the two episodes with audio commentary are Nature Calls and Into the Woods. Somehow I expected Nature Calls to be one of them, but why Into the Woods? I don't really remember that episode (though there were two woods episodes from the last two seasons... is this the one where Earl, Roy, and...

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    That info comes from Sesame Street Unpaved. I also saw Up on the Rooftop and That Grouchy Face on You Tube, and I am wondering if all of James Taylors numbers were filmed on the same day. It looks to me like James Taylor wore the same blue shirt in all three of his numbers, and both of the...

    Old School Vol. 2 idea thread

    I might be ahead of myself, but I thought I'd add what classic cuts I'd like for seasons 11-20. Season 11: Born to Add Believe in Yourself Cookie Monster (in voice-over) talks to a baby eating a cookie Sesame Street News: The Princess and the Cookie Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco...

    Snoop Doggs cut scene

    I know. Wo cares if Snoop Dogg was starting porn at the time? Having a big scene with The Electric Mayhem (where they talk, as opposed to their silent riverdancers scene) is much more important.

    Classic Sesame Street clips on YouTube

    Recently at Muppet Wiki I had asked a question about wether anybody besides Roscoe Orman voiced Hard Head Henry Harris. While nobody could realy tell, a link to the Roosevelt Franklin sketch about poision was posted on Hard Head Henry Harris' talk page, and there I founf video clips of all three...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    It seems to me like Sweetums' scene there was a bit unneccessary. If Gonzo's car hadn't landed on top of the studebaker, they wouldn't have needed to trade in the cars. Kermit and Fozzie could have easily just met Gonzo and Camilla, invited them to come along, and the studebaker could have...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    It's been awhile since I last read the Tough Pigs anthology on an early draft of the script, but I recall it pointing out that the only significant difference in that scene betweeen the script and the filmed version is the fact that in the script, Sweetums dipped his finger in oil (or maybe...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    Okay, time for another question... Whenever you or the other writers work on a one-time project with the cast of The Muppet Show, like a special or movie (I would only count a few one-time guest apearances on other TV shows, like the Muppets appearance on The Cosby Show), do you and the...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    I don't ever remember seeing Kermit refer to Scooter as "gofer". As for that picture of Sweetums, it is also included in the 1993 release of the soundtrack (well, I'm assuming that it's the same picture). Does the book acknowledge Sweetums chasing after them then, or is the picture just there...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    I can't really tell if it was obvious to the other Muppets that Mad Man Mooney was trying to con them. I also can't tell if Sweetums hitting a fly and making it look like a decimal mark was intentional or not (Sweetums kept pointing at the price tag, as the Muppets paid attention, and then he...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    It seems like The Muppet Movie has quite a few running gags that only go on for a few gags, usually just within minutes of each other. Sweetums chased after the car, then a few minutes later he jumped out of a tent, and then nothing happened with Sweetums until the end. But besides that...

    Snoop Doggs cut scene

    I was just reading soem old Muppet Central news articles. I was looking at the 2002 news article that first announced that 30 minutes of It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie was going to be cut. I just noticed that in the quote regarding Snoop Doggs scene being cut, there was a quote from...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I don't mind it that much. Those episodes were originally included in the episodes that Sesame Workshop chose to have released. I don't think Sesame Workshop chose those episodes just because some of them have the same sketches (and quite a few episodes had the same sketches sown twice). I read...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    I agree. I figured that maybe Jim Lewis' advice might be different (maybe not completely different, but maybe expanded. He could have learned a lot more about writing since then). And as I said earlier, I could have been wrong about the writer who gave that advice, though I know that Jim Lewis...
