Oh my God. The fire escape! They got rid of the fire escape! Noooooooooooo! Boy, does that change the entire feel back there. That fire escape has been there for 38 of this show's 39 years. And now it's gone. Also, they seem to have narrowed the space between the 123 garage and Elmo's...

Colby: How'd you come up with that number? It seems like too much to me. Like I said, it really is hard to figure out a good way to estimate this. I would be amazed if it really is something like 20,000, or even 10,000. Just seems like too many. But then, I dunno....

"Ohmigod! Snuffeeeee! He's like a big hairy Dumbo only with depression!"

Well, all I know is that when the show started, New York City rent---more specifically Manhattan rent---could be pretty durn cheap. Sure, they lived together to cut down on expenses, but they weren't hurtin'. They didn't look like they make a huge amount of dough, but they live decently...

In my mind it's a real street somewhere in Manhattan (though admittedly cul-de-sacs are rare in Manhattan). In that universe, it's normal for some people to have "screens" following them around. In every TV show that breaks the fourth wall, in that universe it's just a fact of life that a...

I've been wondering this a while--throughout the not-quite 40 years they've been on the air, just how many individual segments have built up in that backlog of theirs? I'm talking about everything---live action films, animated, Muppet skits, miscellany--the whole nine yards. I'm not sure...

what do you mean by that? I mean that to me, it doesn't quite feel like it's familiar self until the 4th season. Watch any early episodes of a long-running series, and the tone will almost always be different at first. Maybe a lot, maybe only subtley, but still. And then there's things...

You STILL have that W2? Whoa. Your parents must be the most meticulous, organized people in the world. They must never have to scramble for missing records during tax season or anything. So the synopses you read were on the Muppet Wiki, right? Amazing. This detective work wouldn't have...

Just curious--how did you arrive at that episode number and airdate? I would think finding out what episode you were in as a kid all those years ago would be very difficult information to come by, unless someone gave your family the info back then.

From the 33 episodes I have spanning year 1 to year 22, it seems like there are a notable amount of 1st season films, but indeed not as much as later seasons' stuff. I would imagine part of the reason is the sheer amount of material that would build up year by year. When your back catalog...

I have #1845. It's a good 'un. ;) What makes you interested in that one, in partcular?

Another '82 baby over here! To my mind, "old school" in the purest sense is the first 20 years of the run, not because 20's a cool number but because the time around the 20th year just happened to correspond with some shake-ups, like the deaths of Henson, Raposo and Northern Calloway, and...

You know something? I think this actually would have worked pretty well!

I remember that episode too, and this is the first time I'd seen it since. (I'd misremembered it as Gordon telling us David moved to the farm, though. Sorry, Gina. :rolleyes: ) It's an especially strong memory for me. Like probably many other kids, my first reaction was "Huh? He moved...

Athena is the main character in #2504 from 1988. It's mostly about her wanting to be a singer at Birdland like Olivia. Me, Boober Gorg, and I think MuppetDude have it.

LOL--when I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be referring to the sketch where Don Music trying to write what the audience knows to be the Sesame Street theme song, but with Kermit's help ends up changing it into something else. It's a strange because it's at night, and for some...

Here's what I meant before about the buildings "back there". Here's the view pre 1989: And here's the view 1989 to 1997: Besides the sudden appearance of those buildings over there, it looks like they altered the brick part of the arbor building with letters on it so that the...

There's something I read in that article that's confusing to me. Here's the wikipedia link (which is based on the Muppet Wiki version) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuffy%27s_Parents_Get_a_Divorce Here's what I wrote on the discussion page: I'm confused by the assertion that this episode...

How did the week of #810 - #815 come to see the light of day? :confused: I thought the Noggin package had nothing between #796 and #871. Is this another instance like #573, which seems to have been a leaked studio tape (perhaps smuggled out of a broadcasting station by some employee of a PBS...

Holy Michaelmas! I saw that video and asked the user what the context was, and where he'd gotten it. The answer, as it turns out, somehow never entered my mind. The "poster" IS Harold Miller. Here's his website. http://www.haroldmilleractorwestbethnyc.us/ Ya just never know, do ya? ;)
