    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I have four questions: 1. Does this set include any skits where Richard Hunt performs voices? 2. It is mentioend that the season five premier had an animated skit where a man holds one leg in the air, which was cut on Noggin. I know that a similar skit, with Jasper and Julius, was in the...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    That means that it has the original opening logo, right? Or is it shown without a logo? I've read that the early News Flash skits originally didn't feature openign logos, and that openign logos were added to most of them when the logos were introduced. The review mentioned that there are a...

    What would you like on Sesame Street Old School Volume 1?

    No, it won't. Oddly enough, I wasn't too interested in seeing this untill I saw it on You Tube, and I think I've watched this skit on You Tube more than any other Sesame Street skit, and I wanted itt o be included. I am not too surprised that it isn't, though, because the song wasn't written for...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    A lot of the bonus skits mentioned are ones that I haven't heard about. I was wondering if they would mostly be ones that everybody knows about and have been included on many videos, anniversary specials, and whatnot, but a lot of them I don't really know anything about. It feels like a treat...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    Another character included to add to that list is The Martians. The page said that it has something caled "Martians Telephone". What else could it be besides the classic sketch where The Martians inspect a telephone?

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    Actually, Roosevelt Franklin appeared in the fourth and fifht season premiers. In the season four premier he appears at the beginning when the cast says the letter of the alphabet that their names begin with, and in the season five premier he appears in the "Clap, Clap, Clap" song...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    I was looking at the Muppet Wiki page for Sesame Street: Old School, Volume 1, and according to that page, this skit is listed as a season four bonus skit. So this sketch is from 1972, and not 1971. Either this wasn't the first news flash segment, or the news segments didn't appear on the show...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    One thing that's interesting is that the set will have almost every well-known A-list/ B-list song from the first five seasons. I hope that Sesame Workshop isn't worried that the set won't sell. But if volume two only focuses on the first four years, I wonder what skits will be mentioned in the...

    Rubber Duckie: first year of broadcast

    Well, I've read that Rubber Duckie will be included in the Old School set as a season one bonus sketch. We'll have to wait three days and see if it's the original version or the famous remake. Unless, of course, the review comes up.....

    Ernie and Lefty...

    There are a lot of early sketches where Frank Oz performed multiple characters in the same scene. Examples include Kermit's lecture on big and little (where Oz performs three monsters who all appear in the same shot), Pick Your Pet (where Oz performs four roles), I Whistle a Happy Tune (where he...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I was just looking at the Old School page at Muppet Wiki, and all bonus clips were listed. I am not sure if the person who contributed to that page got an early copy, if that contributor is the person here who got an early copy, or if that person found out some other way. And there are not nine...

    Songs that should have been covered on Sesame Street

    Another song that could have been covered is Eight Day Week. It could have been performed by Little Jerry and the Monotones, or perhaps some generic Anything Muppet rock band, and in the middle of the song, Kermit or Bert or soem other straight man character could have come out and pointed out...

    Did Noggin show many episodes with the most famous songs?

    That is a good point. There are a lot of songs that are classic (or we associate as classic), but part of that is because Sesame Workshop chose to include them on a lot of albums (especially ones that focus on the shows, or various characters, greatest hits). And Sesame Workshop chose to include...

    kermits NEWS FLASH

    It wasn't specifically said that the birds parents were divorced. The bird just talked about how her parents did not lvie together, but never mentioned why. Also, regardless of who owns what, Kermit hasn't made too many new appearances on Sesame Street since the death of Jim Henson, even...

    Proffessor Hastings fear lecture

    What is that supposed to mean? I can't tell if it's meant as a compliment or as sarcasm (perhaps thinking that I either can't wait untill Halloween to write a fan fic like this or that I can't wait untill the Old School DVD set coems out to see if a Proffessor Hastings sketch is included, but...

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I initially decided to put it on my christmas list, but in the last fews days I have felt tempted to just give i and buy it on the day it comes out. I am still trying to decide. I'm sure that I will make the right decision.

    Lack of charachters in the early 1980's

    Now that I think of it, Jim Henson did perform ins treet plots for more than just season premiers. I've read that Henson performed Oscar in a few season one episodes. Oscar was usually in the street plots, so Henson must have performed him there. Caroll Spinney was sick at the time, so if Henson...

    Did Noggin show many episodes with the most famous songs?

    I guess it would make sense to focus on the msot famous, memorable, and/ or historically significant plots. 19 out of 20 season premiers were included, as were such classics as Mr. Hooper's death, the trip to hawiai, Big Bird going to camp, Miles' adoption, and Maria and Luis' wedding. I guess...

    Noggin cuts on Episode 1

    I also think it's weird that 123 Sesame Street is edited even though it was included on the Songs from the Street set, but I wonder if music rights for audio releases are the same or different as music rights for video releases. I am most dissapointed about 123 Sesame Street being cut, but the...
