    15th and 20th Anniversary Products?

    Which I have on tape, believe it or not... It's a real good special. It was one of the last specials that Jim Henson did before he died.

    Which MP3 site has SESAME STREET songs?

    I know this was discussed a long time ago, but someone asked if there was an MP3 site that has a bunch of classic SESAME STREET songs on it? I'm looking for stuff that you wouldn't find on Kazaa, like a bunch of songs from the Original Cast recordings from the '70's. Does anyone have any...

    What did Northern Calloway (David) die from?

    I hate to burst your bubble, but I grew up in Nashville, and I remember reading that article when I was young. My views of Northern Calloway went immediately south after reading that. The Tennessean is the standard newspaper for Middle Tennessee, like the Chicago Tribune or San Francisco...

    If you could remove 3 Muppets from SS, who would you pick?

    I say, wipe the slate clean, and only leave the original Muppets from 1969-1972. Big Bird Ernie Bert Cookie Monster Kermit the Frog Grover Monster Herry Monster The Count Prairie Dawn Little Bird and make Oscar orange again!

    Your favorite Ernie and Bert skit

    My favorite ones were the ones where the apartment floods. My question, is why were the writers show obsessed with showing Ernie and Bert drowning?

    Big Bird got the name "Hooper" RIGHT?

    And he got the name right ONCE back in 1969 as well. In the episode from 1969 when he transports his birdseed on the wagon back to his nest, he actually calls Mr. Hooper by his correct moniker. Yes, I was quite shocked to hear that as well, but you got to realize that everything on...

    Sesame Street air dates

    Well, I CAN help you out with the pilot. The pilot was broadcast on the NET network on Monday at 10 AM on November 10, 1969. Nixon was in office, Neili Armstrong has just walked on the moon we were fighting in Vietnam, and the Beatles were breaking up.

    Guy Smiley's First Appearance

    Nope, you're correct. GUY SMILEY'S first appearance was on the Season Premiere of 1970. He did look different, and one of his contestants was the 1969-1971 greenish-blue Cookie Monster. This was also one of Fran Brill's first performances too, as a greenish Anything monster.

    Sesame Street 'pilot' episode wanted

    I think the room with pipes in which Ernie and Bert lived in the ORIGINAL July 1969 pilot (not the November 1969 pilot) was supposed to signify that they lived in the basement.

    How'd They Do That? (elmo in wagon)

    Yes, there is a remote control-version of Elmo, which is needed when actor's need to carry him around or when he's on a bicycle, etc. It's the silmiar technique to how they were able to get Kermit to "ride a bicycle" in THE MUPPET MOVIE. There are other versions of Elmo floating around...

    Sesame Street Missing Muppets

    Sherlock Hemlock has apparently been thrown into the trunk that also holds Farley, Herbert Birdsfoot, etc. They have expunged his character to the fullest and have no more use for him. As for Benny Rabbit, there's no more use for him, as there is no Furry Arms hotel anymore. (The "Around the...

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Well, I know where you can get the SESAME STREET CLOSING THEME that you all are referring to.... It's on a CD called SING-A-LONG TRAVEL SONGS that you can order at amazon.com, BUT there's a catch: Elmo and Zoe sing the Sesame Street lyrics over it, so you can't hear the music by itself

    Anyone interested in trading for Unpaved episodes?

    Does anyone have the 1993 Season Premiere episode where SESAME STREET goes "around the corner"? It was the first episode to NOT use the classic Sesame Street theme song. I'll trade with you for any of my Unpaved episodes: I have every single one except a few 1980's episodes, which I could...

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    The closing music that you refer to, ssetta, is the "nighttime" version of the SESAME STREET theme, and could be heard whenever the show ended during events that took place at night. The celeste music can be found on, like you said, the 1974 Season Premiere, as well as the late 1980's Unpaved...
