    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I thought I saw the Professor Hastings U lecture listed in the "first season show content" documents from the CTW Archives. Guess the Mandela Effect hit me.

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    Even if “only kids will care about Elmo”, if the parents/adults happen to be more interested in older episodes than the kids and Elmo happens to be in those, then there’s not really any harm to the adults seeing early Elmo (and they wouldn’t have to deal with what’s usually annoying them about...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    Does HBO Max cut the part of Christmas Eve on Sesame Street where Ernie throws a snowball past Bert? I think there's also a part where Oscar throws a snowball at Maria, is that cut as well? Of course Muppet Wiki only notes the removal of "Feliz Navidad", clearly for music rights, I guess the...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    I don’t think Sesame Workshop necessarily likes to pretend “proto-Elmo” never existed. His early years do get acknowledged. I guess they’re a bit obscure and until recently the internet didn’t have much info on specific Brian Meehl/Richard Hunt as Elmo moments. I wonder if Joe Hennes tried to...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    The odd thing is that I’ve seen John-John had his offenses long ago. I thought it was recent, but I saw an article about it that was dated sometime before the first Old School release and before Sesame Workshop started putting clips online. Perhaps it passed Sesame Workshop’s radar until...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    While various inserts might have had portions cut due to censorship (if not outright withheld from being included in future episodes of the show), could the HBO Max reruns be among the first time segments were cut from episodes due to censorship and other issues (I know PBS reruns that feature...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    Back in the pre-Old School DVDs/pre-online video days, I think there were people who thought they'd stopped airing the segments with Bert's nose being removed in the 1990s (Bert's bust is the only one I ever remember seeing as a child), thinking it was due to imitable behavior. And I recall...

    Your Thoughts: HBO Max streaming service officially launches

    Even if use of copyrighted footage or music is just a few segments, the copyright holders can still charge a lot for it (I’ve heard that they usually charge the same amount no matter how much is used, but I’ve also heard otherwise). Some have speculated that segments get cut to make way for...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Wait, has every (broadcast) episode been fully guided (in terms of listing every segment from every episode) or just tabled (with some still not having all the info, just some segments)?

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    It's an amazing coincidence that last week, the pages for episodes 1360 and 1814 were moved to sandbox pages due to the scripts not being the final aired versions (are there any more scripts that are not "final aired version" or at least hard to determine?), then just a week later they were able...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    And also an episode with Bruno is not lost! And an episode with Fluffy. I was surprised to see Oscar standing next to Bruno, so somebody Other than Caroll must have been wearing him (I’m guessing Martin Robinson, or do we know that he originated Fluffy). Looking at the page before, I wondered...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I wonder what happened. Was the source who provided the info on what episode are lost incorrect? Did somebody official happen to have a copy? Was this a recorded from television copy (though it was one of the moderators who has been getting rare episodes who posted the images - and the picture...

    Sesame Street Special - "A Swingin’ Sesame Street Celebration" with Wynton Marsalis on PBS Friday October 30, 2020

    I just saw that various clips from this are available as music videos on iTunes. Haven’t downloaded any yet, I wonder if they make up the whole special if all get ordered. Seems the special itself is not available.
