    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    One thing I find a little odd is how many of the Number of the Day segments are presented in Cool Counting Collection. I feel like the reveal of the number is supposed to keep people guessing. But some Number of the Day segments in the video come after segments on the number, as opposed to...

    TV Tropes

    Last night I was editing things in the page for the show Newhart, and in the edit format, it says not to list tropes without explaining examples (which I was told when I signed up, though I often do see it on pages), and also with tropes not to just list a character or episode title or something...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I finished watching it and filled the sketch rundown on the wiki. In a way, it’s disappointing, but at the same time, there are segments that I enjoyed a bit. It doesn’t really have anything I would have included if I had compiled the segments, and I especially wouldn’t have been too aware of...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I started listing segments as I watched it, but had to stop watching for a bit. I'll add the rest later unless somebody beats me to it, still got to add in segments for numbers 11-20. For those hoping there would be classic early segments, so far the oldest segment I have found is "Cloud...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I went to one store and didn't see a copy, but I rented a digital copy, watching it now. I did a quick skim through and didn't notice anything too "must have".

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Some things about the "Oscar vs. recycling" episode: So it's recycling just to give somebody a hand me down or an item that one is no longer using but isn't really being altered? Susan gives Maria Miles' old stroller for Gabbi and they call it recycling, but it's not being altered or used beyond...

    Any Ernst Fans?

    Here's something I did not know existed: A read-along of Ernest Goes to Camp, read by Ernest himself. Ernest Goes To Camp 1987 Read Along Cassette - YouTube Jim Varney is obviously the only actor playing his character from the film. Some of the voices make the characters sound like a...

    Little things we've noticed

    in most YouTube videos I have made, I sit the camera down on something, and while there’s usually not a camera person, in quite a few instances I see that the camera was involuntarily moving (even if I place it on a tripod or flat enough surface). I guess it might be how it’s built or placed.

    Little things we've noticed

    At the end of Follow That Bird, we see a few Muppets excited about Big Bird going home, they look out the windows and act excited. And most of those characters are Anything Muppets or monsters. We see Prairie Dawn, a boy who kind of looks like Roosevelt Franklin (and the wiki does list him as...

    Why aren't Oscar and Telly ever on anymore?

    Yeah, I didn’t realize Elmo spoke in that scene until somebody brought it up on the forum (and that Richard Hunt performed him). Several characters are talking, and he’s shaking his head in a way that makes it look like he’s not talking. Sometime recently, somebody on Facebook said they...

    Muppet Show skit on Saturday Night Live on May 15, 2021

    Watching the beginning again, I now see that the third Disney Plus program is a joke, but I also noticed before that, the audience starts chuckling at Falcon and the Winter Soldier, I checked to make sure that's a real show and not a joke (and if it was a joke, I'm not familiar with those...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Some more about Taxi and Latka’s split personality: in the episode Mr. Personalities, it’s established that Latka has multiple personalities beyond himself and Vic Ferrari. And I think there’s another episode where he appears as Vic, and Elaine says something like “I don’t mind Latka’s split...

    Wow, the could have made it a multi-part documentary series.

    Little things we've noticed

    In season 31 or 32, it seems like they started to make an attempt to make Ernie and Telly a duo. There's the imaginary t party segment, and Ernie doing his A poetry, and I think another segment. And then they stopped. I wonder what happened. Did they think the two didn't have the right...

    Little things we've noticed

    Can you imagine if the Rockheads were still a part of the show when Rocko was introduced? hmm, refresh my memory, did the early proto-Elmo appear in a scene with a rock head? I’m thinking Richard Hunt’s Elmo. I guess I could look at the guides again.

    Muppet Show skit on Saturday Night Live on May 15, 2021

    Somebody on Facebook thought that the inclusion of Lily Tomlin was meant to be a reference to the fact that the Muppets were on Saturday Night Live, but I’m not really getting that as a reference. Of course there are many celebrities who could have been featured as the guest star (would have...

    Old Nickelodeon

    One thing that's been on my mind, which I couldn't decide whether to bring up here or in the Nick at Nite thread I started long ago (and I couldn't decide if this is worth bumping a thread that's been inactive since 2018), but from 1988-1992, Nick at Nite aired Looney Tunes, and for a brief...

    The "You know what?" thread

    For a period on Taxi, Latka had multiple personalities (most notably Vic Ferrari). It seems like the kind of thing Andy Kaufman would want to do, but I also know that he disliked working on the show, and I have not seen anything to indicate that he or his writer contributed ideas for Latka...

    Little things we've noticed

    I used to think that the Wonderful World of T-shirts sketch (or, as it seems it was titled in the scripts, "Frog to Forg") was made in the late-1970s, my guess was season 9, so I was surprised that it debuted in season 12 (though it's possible it was held over from season 11). But considering...

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I also don't always see the new DVD releases I want in stores when they come out, which has occurred with certain Sesame Street releases as well as a lot of DVD or Blu-ray releases that are not releases of recent mainstream films. I know, I could order it, but I don't really order online often...
