    The Electric Company Reunion Show - 10/29

    Hi: Did anyone catch this special "THE ELECTRIC COMPANY GREATEST HITS AND BITS" on PBS this past weekend? It was on at 5:00 on the local San Francisco PBS station (GROVER was on it, that's how this qualifies for this forum section), but: They had interviews from all the actors from...

    How to build your very own SESAME STREET set

    Well, it's a barrel that supports Oscar's trash can in the later SESAME episodes (1974 - present day), but yes, you could use a bunch of old crates, since that's what was the case for the early seasons. I forgot that you might need some cement to create a faux sidewalk. And a trip to the auto...

    How to build your very own SESAME STREET set

    You just need a drill that cuts through metal to screw in the screws for the hinge. You should also expect the lid to not close perfectly once the hinge is on (just like on the show) because the hinge will cause the lid to be skewed and not square with the opening of the trash can. Also...

    Sesame Old School DVD has edits

    No, Minor Muppetz hit it right on the head: The MUSIC RIGHTS is why they had to edit out those clips. Instead of having to pay millions of dollars again to Stevie Wonder, the musical film "Olver" (which is what the Anything Muppets sang in the premiere song), and the instrumental Bach piece...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    I just got mine and it is EXCELLENT. I'm not through all the discs yet, but it's as if SESAME WORKSHOP finally delivered what we fans have been looking for. One thing: The credit crawl for 1971-1972 (on disc 2) is different from the one on Noggin. There isn't any drawing of Grover...

    What's the "swinging Gibbon" bonus clip from 1969?

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School DVD

    OK, OK, one question has been on my mind, since my DVD hasn't arrived yet: On the FIRST episode, do they still have the old: "Broadcast in living color" tag at the beginning?
