1969 or 1970. There was something called The Sesame Street Learning Kit released in 1970, which was available through mail by Time-Life, and I've read that this merchandising deal was actually made before the series went on the air (I don't know the exact month it was released). This kit...

Actually, Disney owns Bean Bunny, who starred in Tales of the Bunny Picnic. Kermit only made a few small cameos in Emmett Otter and The Christmas Toy, and no other major Disney-owned Muppet characters appeared in those specials. Also, Henson probably got to keep The Christmas Toy because Hensons...

There is something I noticed about The Competition episode. I don't know if anybody else has this problem on their DVD copies, but at times the audio is missing for a few seconds (and not just in the song, which had to be censored by CBS), while on the commentary (it could be all commentaries...

By the way, the song that you had listed as "Life in the Country, Life in the City" is actually titled "City-Country Song".

Volume 12: In the City Scene 1 Big Bird: Hello. Today, we are all going to take a trip to the city! Elmo: How exciting! Telly: I don't know. I'm kind of scared... Big Bird: What's so scary about the city? Telly: There are loud noises... big traffic... long lines... crowded areas...

Volume 12: Morning to Night Scene 1 Big Bird: Hi, welcome to the show. Well, it is now morning, so I am going to have some breakfast. I think I'll go to Hooper's Store, and have some scrambled birdseed, and a birdseed milkshake on the side. What do you like to have for breakfast...

Wow, Leslie Ann Warrens closing number was a lot better than I'd expected (and I already had high expectations for that number). That is also really good. I hope that it doesn't get cut from the third season DVD release. Although somebody did explain what sensual means, it still seems...

Some of my favorites: Lynda Carter singing Rubber Band Man Raquel Welch singing Someone Just Like You Rita Moreno singing Fever

Is sensual supposed to mean sexual, or something else?

Oh, crap. Volume 11 of the book series was Morning to Night, and I mistakingly had the sneak peek at the end advertise Let's Pretend, and it's too late for me to edit that. :eek: Oh, well. I guess I'll have these two "video volumes" not match the book volumes. Here is volume 11: Let's...

I thought that you already knew that it was a special video release of both videos. Otherwise I probably should have said something.

I can't remember if episode 536 repeated any segments, but episode 406 showed Two Song (Song of Two) twice. So it was at least until the fourth season. Maybe I should go to Muppet Wiki and look at the episode pages that use the episode guide-style format and see what the last-known episode was...

I have started wondering if the scene where Sweetums ran out of the tent was originally planned to be shown earlier. Once Gonzo fell back onto the car, we suddenly get a brief scene at the fair, which could have been meant to have been shown earlier. If that scene wasn't there, we'd have Gonzo...

I don't know if the name was copyrighted, but the makers of the game probably didn't know that there were Muppets called Frackles. Outside of The Great Santa Claus Switch and the Muppets appearances on Family Feud, was the word Frackle ever spoken on-screen in any productions? Of course, I know...

Only fifth place?:) It's too bad that Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, and Caroll Spinney weren't listed. It is also a bit odd that Mel Blanc and June Foray weren't among the top 5. And Jim Henson is the only one to make that list who I know anything about.

One thing that I would like to know is what year the show stopped showing the same segments multiple times in the same episode.

It seems like on the first set that the DVD producers didn't want to show too much of the same type of skits for classic cuts. With the exception of the mystery drawing segments, none of the recurring segments that appeared in the episodes on the set were represented in the classic cuts (well...

That shouldn't have been too confusing, since the Muppets were playing roles, and only a few played themself. Of course, it might have been confusing if you read the credits, where they were all referred to by their real names (unlike The Muppet Christmas Carol, where Statler, Waldorf, and Robin...

In the first shot in The Muppet Movie, Doglion could be seen walking in the background. I wonder if it would have been more appropiate to have seen Sweetums there instead. It could have made sense, since Swetums ended up crashing through the screen, but then again, it would be weird for Sweetusm...

Chapter 10: Up, Down, and All Around Scene 1 Elmo and Zoe play on a teeter totter. Each take turns saying which one is up and which one is down. Big Bird shows up and walks around the teeter totter. Segments Up and Down (with Cookie Monster and Herry Monster, original version) Up...
