Wow, someone else who feels the same way about the calypso closing! I also thought it had a poignant sound to it when I was a kid. Only I thought of it in terms sort of like "We've all been friends for many years, but it's getting to be time for us to say goodbye forever." Of course, this was...

They kicked Jim Henson off the credits list beginning in 2002 (I think). I really don't understand why, since they still use old clips of him occasionally.

Don't forget Telly's reaction. "A cheese?" Ben sings his verse and while he's singing the repeat chorus, Telly's saying something like "A cheese isn't a person in your neighborhood!......is it? (pause) Awww, why not?" And then he starts singing along.

(Grover voice) Hey everybodeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Those of you who haven't seen "A Special Sesame Street Christmas", here it is! Unseen for almost 30 years, except for the apparantly very rich person who could afford a VCR in 1978 and taped it from CBS. http://youtube.com/watch?v=aCjCBc0G9AM...

To be on topic: I never really stopped watching the show outright. I watched it all the time from ages three to seven, and then kept tabs on it out of casual fondness all through elementary and middle school. So I never had a period where I "outgrew it" for a while and then came back. But...

Stumbled on another prominent kid----the incomparable Lexine. Here she is with a "friend".;) http://youtube.com/watch?v=kYf8Lo9MjPA Some of you might not know her since she was from the mid-90s, but I remember she was around quite a bit. My strongest memories of her are her skits with Cookie...

I wish I felt that way. Until recently I did. But like I said in another thread somewhere, in the last four or five years the show has changed so rapidly that there's very little of that feeling of "coming back to old friends" or "going home" left for me. It's a very strange feeling---Sesame...

Glad to hear the roof's still around. I'd actually wondered about that, since it seems like they don't go up there much anymore. I do wonder about other sets that used to turn up frequently but now have very little reason to, like the interiors of Bob's and Susan and Gordan's apartments. Plus...

By the way, I goofed. Shola Lynch's documentary is named Chisolm '72, not "Grisholm '72." I suppose the fact that I got this person's name wrong is a case in point of why Ms. Lynch felt compelled to make a film about her in the first place....:rolleyes: By the way check this out...

Didn't one come around here once? Looking for someone to get old episodes from? I don't remember the name of the thread, or what specific things the kid had been in, but I'm pretty sure that happened. Also, on YouTube, someone posted a brief video of the Count counting bubbles blown by a...

Since we know where Jon-Jon ended up (at least as of 1998---a San Antonio accountant and a veteran of the Air Force), I thought I'd mention two others I know of--- Shola (not Charla, as someone thought her name was earlier) http://youtube.com/watch?v=MGC7gPYoY6E...

Whoa, yeah. Cartoon Network radically transformed itself in really just two years--2002 to 2004, I would say. I never did grow up with the old Disney Channel ( :( ), so I can't compare the modern one to anything. All I know is, I've discovered that I'm not the only one who calls it "The...

Hey, everybody slow down! Just recently, like within the last year, I saw a scene where Telly and Snuffy were talking to each other. I don't remember what episode it was or what the story was about (I hardly ever have the chance to catch the show these days), but I remember being happy to...

What stations are you referring to?

Whoa, that sounds mega-heavy (for this show). Was this recent or old? I don't remember it---can you describe it a little more?

It does. I just meant that what were apparantly Nelson's earlier performances as Roosevelt sound very much like Robinson's.

And with every year since 2002, it's been striking me how different the show feels. (Sorry, it's hard to find a better word than that) While they do still have a part of the show that I call "Miscellany Time" (the old format in miniature where a bunch of older material is shown rather randomly...

I haven't seen much of Roosevelt except a few Noggin clips and #406 on Old School Vol. 1, but it definitely sounds like Jerry Nelson doing him by the middle of the '70s. In the beginning of #406, though, it really still sounds like Matt Robinson to me, but he'd left the show by then, so I guess...

Cool--I didn't know anyone else called those films "Sounds Around the House". That's what I happened to start call them because I couldn't think of anything else.

The ending of "Dance Myself to Sleep" always made me worried about poor Bert--being forced to sleep outside like that. I also remember wondering what was Ernie's problem--it seemed out of character for him to be that coldblooded. (Actually, I still don't really get that ending. :rolleyes: )
