    Kingston Livingston III and Roxie Maie

    If they only appeared togetehr once, then I wonder why it mentioend that Roxy Marie was Kingston Livingstons friend in his character description in that book? Maybe the author of the book saw the episode where Kingston Livingston III debuted in and, possibly without seeing much other episodes/...

    We still need more characters!!!

    I wonder if Dr. Rainbrain wins the award for "most obscure character of all time"? I don't ever remember hearing about him untill recently, and I know about a lot of obscure Sesame Street things, even things that I haven't seen (for example, I haven't seen anything with Sam The Robot but I know...

    The average cost of extras in a film or series

    Does anybody here know what the average cost of having an exra appear in a film, TV or stage production cost? Is it normally cheap or expensive? Am I right in thinking that extras don't get paid residuals or royalties?

    The Return of the Dodos

    Well, I don't currently have any more plans for cameos by any more performers, web designers, toy makers, or anything else. The only other cameos I have planned right now are by characters from Sesame Street.

    Boxed set of classic SS episodes -- coming soon??

    I wonder if there could be a themed box set, or maybe a box set with every episode that focused on maria and Luis' marriage (how many were there?), or a box set of all the episodes where the fix-it shop was remodled (I don't know how many episodes there were). Perhaps there could be a...

    The Return of the Dodos

    Chapter 21 Sam and Sid started advertising at a record time. People were lining up for jobs, and people with unusual talents were lining up to audition to be part of the fun fair. Sid was giving the job interviews. The first wannabe to audition was a light blonde-haired man with a small...

    Boxed set of classic SS episodes -- coming soon??

    Sesame Workshop stated that they are considering releasing classic episodes on DVD sometime after 2007 (at the earliest). Are they talking about actual, hour-long episodes, or just a collection of skits put together? I doubt that complete season sets would be released, but maybe it would be...

    Kingston Livingston III and Roxie Maie

    According to the book Sesame Street Unpaved, Kingstin Livingston was friends with Roxie Marie. However, I cannot think of any moments with both of these characters interacting. The only time I ever recall seeing them together was in Sesame Streets 25th Birthday: A Musical Celebration, where they...

    guest stars who didn't close the show

    Although You Can't Rollerskate In a Buffalo Herd was introduced as the closing number, that was followed by a conversation panel sketch with Ruth Buzzi. I wonder if that sketch was originally meant to be shown earlier but moved to the end of the show at the last minute (after everything had been...

    The Henson Connection

    My original rule was for the person who started the round to end the round either in a day or a day and a half. So hopefully Mrs pepper will select a new member to start the next round. Besides, it looks like we might be running out of Steve Martin refferences.

    No, it's not a refference to anything.

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Were the muppets animated in the animated closing theme? Did any of the first season episodes shown on Noggin have ending credits? People keep saying that the closing credits used to onlyu be seen on episodes that were originally broadcast on fridays. However, I remember seeing the...

    Koozebanian Phoob appearances on TMS

    I've never noticed before that the phoob was in the audience during the first season. I wonder if he was created for anything before (or outside of) The Muppet Show. But as far as I know his interview in the Judy Collins episode was the first time he had a significant role (was it his only...

    Your Henson Priorities

    I just realized that there are some videos that I forgot to mention, such as Imagine That and Let's Make Music. I'll put both of those between Let's eat and Elmos World: Happy Holidays. I also forgot to list Quiet Time. I'll put that after Happy healthy Monsters.

    Celebrating Jerry Juhl

    That's sad It's too bad that Jerry Juhl died. At least he was able to work on the first season DVDs of both The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock. I wonder if this news will be in any upcoming issues of any magazines (like TV Guide or Entertainment Weekly).
