Well, it's not necessarily what the producers think, it's the viewers. Remember Michael Loman? He was the executive producer of the show from 1993 until 2002. He was the main man that wanted the show to be for younger kids, and not older kids. He thought there were too many characters, and...

What would you do if you were the Programming Director at Noggin? Maybe I could start a whole thread.

It's extremely sad, but true. We'll never be seeing those again. And I am just going to die with it.

Because they're too old-fashioned. They don't really like the old stuff anymore, they like more modern things.

Sadly, I think it's because not enough people care about it. Was it ever released on cassette? I don't think they had cassettes all the way back then, I think it was only on record.

I think it was usually Jim Henson in the old days. You know, just about everything with Chrissie was on Noggin, except The Opposite Song. Remember that one?

This is very true. It had always been very similar from the early years up until Season 22. It was Season 23 when they started to fiddle with it, and Season 25 when it really started to go bad. Here's a timeline of all the changes that we didn't like: Season 23: Whole bunch of new characters...

But I'm saying that giving out that information on this website would be doing something bad with the information.

That's why I think those stupid people at Noggin should have kept it!

I do, I miss both!! I can't believe Noggin!!!

I think they need more episodes, but it's nice to know they still use old clips.

I remember that, too. You could hear a phone being dialed. I don't know what that came from. But sometimes there may be some defect in the tape itself.

Also, on today's show, I saw a very old Bert & Ernie sketch that I had never seen before! If any of you saw it, it was "Ernie and The Magic Chain."

That's true. I mean, in the early 90s, when I first heard Steve Whitmire, I couldn't stand it. Same with David Rudman's Cookie Monster, and even Matt Vogel's Big Bird. Eric Jacobson does an okay job, but not as bad as David Rudman. He sounds more like Baby Bear with a sore throat.

Okay, that doesn't have much to do with this thread. But it was somewhat appropriate, because he did do the song "Born to Add," which was a very well-known song of his. He was not a muppeteer. He was a composer/lyricist, and he did voice, and he played the piano. Chris was his main muppet...

I did notice that. I thought it sounded like Matt Vogel. But I could not stand it.

Well, it looks like Unpaved sure is gone. And I do see your point. The teacher told me that the prom may not be the best place where people will want to talk about Sesame Street. It's a time when people are acting very grown-up. That is, they don't wanna think about when they were kids. So...

The Ernestine that was the telephone operator is completely different than Baby Ernestine. She was a human, not a muppet.

He was performed by a very talented man named Christopher Cerf. Chris was also a major songwriter for the show. He is very under-appreciated, but Chris Cerf is definitely my favorite person from Sesame Street. I know him personally, and I am a very big fan of his. He even autographed me a copy...

Well, I watched it this morning at 8, and it had quite a few old clips. It had Kermit trying to talk about happy and sad, and Elmo got sad when Kermit didn't have time to play with him. It also had the "Hair Brush" song sung by the Cereal Girl. It also had a very old Bert & Ernie sketch where...
