OK.
Here's a question about operating the Big Bird puppet.
Saw Journey to Ernie today, and Matt Vogel was using BOTH wings and moving the beak at the same time. Unless he has a third hand, how does he do this?
It wasn't the old wire moving the hand up and down. There was clearly hands...
While SESAME STREET has tried to adapt with the times, MR. ROGERS hasn't.
And here's what I believe is the reason:
SESAME deals with more cognitive aspects of child teaching, such as letters and numbers. Its format was more of a variety show aspect, and therefore, it had to adapt to the...
I have to disagree with those who were disappointed with this special.
Sure, there was an overload of "Elmo's World," but what do you expect? I mean, granted, there was a plethora of useless sketches like the operatic "C is for Cookie," Global Thingy with the Chinese peacocks, the new...
Hey, you're in luck. Carroll Spinney will be at the San Jose Children's Museum next Wednesday signing his book during the day.
Check the website for the San Jose Children's Museum. I think this will be a perfect opportunity to gain a wealth of information.
Sorry, I don't think many of us have that episode because hardly any of us have any first season 1969 episodes other than the ones that were shown on Noggin.
Best bet would to try Sesame Workshop.

Well, the set has gone though MANY changes.
1) The most DRAMATIC change happened between 1969 and 1970. Nowadays, the street curves around at a 90 degree angle, with a playground/tire-swing between Hooper's and 123 Sesame Street. Back in Season 1, there was none of that. Just a long...
Hi:
I remember. The week-long group of episodes is where Sesame Street went to NEW MEXICO to visit Buffy's family, around 1977 or so. (Funny, cause they went to visit Buffy also in Hawaii, but that was a year later).
Noggin never showed these episodes, but you can see clips of these...
This skit can be found on the show "Bert and Ernie Word Play," which is currently on DVD or VHS.
You can usually find it at Best Buy or Circuit City for 10.00.
That's a pity.
SESAME STREET is hardly on in the afternoons anymore.
When I was growing up in Nashville in the 1970's, I would be able to watch SESAME twice a day:
8:00 AM when I got up and 5:00 PM when my mom was making dinner.
Perfect.
Hi:
Does anyone have a copy of the 1973 special JULIE ON SESAME STREET?
I will trade one episode from my collection for this.
I have:
- virtually all Sesame Street Unpaved episodes
- Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting w/Bill Cosby
- Sesame Street: 25th Anniversary on Phil Donahue Show...
Well, I've seen the first episode many, many times, and I can assure you that no musician APPEARED on that particular episode. Not a FAMOUS one at least.
The ONLY one I can think of is this:
Actress and sometime-singer Holly Robinson-Peete played 6 year old Sally, who was featured as...
To answer your question, currently, they do not still show the classic "J" segments, such as "J-miniscula", "Jughead", or "J-J-Junk" skits.
Unless a sketch is REALLY classic, like the Pinball Count, Ladybug Picnic, or the occasional Ernie/Bert sketch from the early '70's, SESAME STREET of 2003...
I got John-John's last name because Herry specifically asks him on the show: "I guess they don't call you John-John anymore, huh?"
And John-John goes: "No, now they call me John Williams...."
I would check the end-credits of my tape, but you see, the tape doesn't have it.
sorry!

Hi Count:
I'm not sure about Shola or Fanny's last names - SORRY! They never mentioned them, perhaps to keep their anonymity?
And yes, Shola (or Shala?) was the same curly-brown hair girl who appeared in that yellow sweater and diamond vest.
Yeah, John-John, who did "UP! and dowwwn" with Herry Monster, grew up to be John Williams, a member of the Air Force. But now, he's no longer in the military - he's working in computers or the like. I remember reading that in a behind-the-scenes article.
The "20 and Still Counting" special...
