    The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss: Season 1 vs. Season 2

    I know I could have looked at that. I chose not to look when making that post, to honestly talk about what I could or couldn’t remember off-hand.

    The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss: Season 1 vs. Season 2

    I didn’t think any particular seasons were discussed more or less than others. Didn’t think the show had much talk at all on the Muppet forums (and I was a fan of the show when it aired). 8pm on a Sunday isn’t a particularly late time for people. When I was in Elementary school my bedtime was...

    The Muppet Show on American television

    I can’t remember, Toughpigs has scans of every page of every article. I don’t recall a big “The Muppet Show is off the air to not compete with Muppets Tonight” article, I recall it being mentioned in passing somewhere, but I recall it was after the shows last broadcast on ABC, so maybe the Fall...

    The Muppet Show on American television

    i saw that mentioned in a Muppetzine article. it’s a shame that the competition clause affected TMS reruns.

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    What I meant was that it was planned to air on CBS but ended up not airing there, coming to video first (and lumped in as part of the Snoopy Double Feature series as opposed to releasing it on its own and making a big deal out of it, though I don’t think there was any promotion for the made for...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I thought there has been a lot of segments that aired and then tested poorly afterwards (maybe they tested well enough with the test audience, which would be a fairly smaller amount of children than those who would watch when they air on television). I can’t really think of any segments, though...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    They probably didn’t air internationally because they show words on the sign. Or are there sight word segments that have aired internationally (it would be hard to replace the words being spelled)? I looked at the “what links here” and so far the wiki doesn’t know of any airings past season 3...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I never knew that, but they still re-aired many of the classic animated Christmas specials that have aired practically every year (A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, maybe A Garfield Christmas, and the early ‘90s brought us some new animated Christmas specials like A Wish...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I thought it was ridiculous that so many fans complained that those specials wouldn’t be broadcast on television. Not just because the Apple TV + app allows for those specials to be viewed for free on certain days, but because they have been released on nearly every home video format, are...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I don’t think the wiki has done a sketch transcript in so long. while this transcript comes from the script as opposed to a video copy (I guess they dropped this from circulation early on), I can’t believe I never thought before that, while they’re limited with uploading clips, they possibly...

    Questions about anything

    There’s a few cases where I was worried it’d turn out they didn’t actually air on the show, or I’d think it was only in one episode, only to find more guides with them. Some examples include Bert and Ernie: Banana in Ear part 3 (now I know it’s in at least two episodes) and Seven Monsters. So...

    Questions about anything

    Yeah, I forgot Judd Hirsch played Adam’s other grandfather (who is called Pop Pop). He appeared so infrequently that his absence from the lack of him in the first few episodes of the season is not something I’d be curious about.

    Questions about anything

    Has something happened with the actor who plays Pop on The Goldbergs? Seems like he’s hardly on the show anymore (I won’t be surprised if TV Tropes soon lists him as “demoted to extra”). in the season premier, he only had one brief scene. Then he was in a bit of the next two episodes (I...

    Sesame Street Family Video Collection

    Looking at the wiki page for Sing Yourself Silly, it looks like this collection was put out by Columbia House in 1994. Can’t find anything else beyond that.

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    I thought the audio release of A Swinging Sesame Street Celebration was from Sesame Street Records, but I watched the special last night and the credits mentioned the album being available from a different record company. I can’t find the record company on my digital release (it does give the...

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

    I saw the special last night. It was awesome, for some reason, I was expecting the performers to all be hiding behind something on stage, as opposed to being in audience view (even if in all black for the most part). There have been times when Bert was embarrassed to be seen naked in the tub...

    Questions about anything

    Recently I watched Harry and the Hendersons for the first time in years (I don’t think it was ever something I watched frequently). So early on, we see that Jacques LeFlure and the guy from the museum know each other from having pursued a Sasquatch all their lives, but the museum guy determined...

    In the pre-Internet days, why was it only books that had order forms for the rest of the series, board games, toys and everything else never did that?

    I thought a lot of products had special mini-catalogues packaged. Maybe not order forms, but the back of the action figure packaging or home video boxes might list other things to buy.

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

    I missed the television broadcast, though I did download the album. It was awesome. I was surprised by Herry on the album. When listening to One of These Things, I was wondering who he was, thinking the voice sounded familiar, my first guess was that it was Rudy (as I hadn’t heard much of...

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    The Swinging Sesame Street Celebration album is awesome (I missed the specials broadcast). On the same day, there was another digital release, Rock and Rhyme with Elmo, a companion piece to the Monster Hits: Rock and Rhyme Video. And it’s like the majority of other Sesame Street Records...
