    Little things we've noticed

    With those characters not being main characters, maybe they didn’t think they were popular enough to put on the cover. Though Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats were on the original cover of Rock and Roll.

    Little things we've noticed

    I think I've talked about this in this thread already, but it seems like Frank and Richard never really had any duos on Sesame Street, and it was rare for their characters to have one-on-one pairings, though the opposite is the case with The Muppet Show. And you could say that Jim and Kevin...

    Little things we've noticed

    When I first saw that one, I thought he sounded a bit different. I wondered if that was Meehl’s Telly (back then my only source for hearing his voice was Don’t Eat the Pictures, where he sounded a lot different from there, not to mention I had access to some of Martin Robinson’s early Telly...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Are they not taking the requests, or just not replying to requests? I don't think Sesame Workshop responds to social media posts. And maybe they're not reading the requests (maybe they get too many to read them all).

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I always figured maybe it's easier to syndicate reruns of an hour-long show than a 90-minute show. And I think I read that the 30 minutes cut from each episode are bits that didn't work, Weekend Update reports that didn't work, and (which could be due to licensing) the musical guests second number.

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    Well, Jim, Frank, and Jerry all performed together in a lot of segments together, especially during the 1970s, and the two Fat Blue AM's are decorated in different clothing and facial features. Not saying it's not likely, just not enough for me to think they were shot the same day.

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night I dreamt that I saw a rare Sesame Street clip online, it had Biff and Sully... and Sully actually had a lot of dialogue in it. And it did not sound like any Richard Hunt character (sounds more like the kind of boy voice heard in songs like Rainy Day Song, Drink of Water, Ookyook...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    It’s interesting, for years the Miami Mice with The Count was the rare one, that nobody had an English copy of, and I’m guessing it was in the lowest number of episodes of the three (we’ll wait until Muppet Wiki makes full guides of every season 18 and 19 episode and see what’s in episode 2806...

    Wet or dry

    And it has been confirmed somewhere that Clash even did Chrissy in Gospel Alphabet, which had Elmo performed by somebody else. By then I would have thought he'd perform, Elmo (and Elmo doesn't get any dialogue there, but I feel Chrissy's role is only slightly bigger). Makes me wonder who...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Hmm, if you can watch them on your own laptop, I wonder if that means you can make screenshots of the footage.

    Little things we've noticed

    Tonight I just noticed something about Kermit News: Rupunzel. So Rupunzel keeps asking Prince Charming to talk louder. Why? Is her hair in the way? Is he simply so far away that she needs him to talk louder? Well I noticed that, after her hair falls off, in addition to lacking hair, she also...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I did a search for episode 2806 to see what the screenshot was, so we know that it at least includes "Let's Go Driving". Can't wait to see what else it has. I had been wondering if it'd be easy for fans to know what they'd be seeing when selecting episodes to watch (unless they were expecting...

    Sesame Street Documentary "Sesame Street: 50 Years and Still Sunny!"

    So... did it have any rare clips (or at least clips that are obviously from about before the end of the 1990s that you don’t recognize)? Any of the rare segments that have been given screenshots on Muppet Wiki this past year that otherwise are unavailable?

    Longest non-street scene segment used in Classic Sesame Street?

    I should watch that one again, I've never really noticed three minutes of not much happening. Or any moments where hardly anything happens.

    Longest non-street scene segment used in Classic Sesame Street?

    I can’t remember if The Magic Apple is seven or eight minutes long. min the audio commentary for episode 1316, Sonia Manzano refers to Kermit News: The Elves and the Shoemaker as “a long segment by today’s standards”, but it’s really not that long (couldn’t be more than four minutes), and...

    "Sesame Street: 50 Years and Still Sunny!" documentary to air on PBS beginning March 1, 2020

    Mine is airing this Friday. Looking at the promo, as well as the confirmed interviewees (most of them celebrities, though it does say some puppeteers will be interviewed, though not who, exactly), I wonder if Sesame Workshop is actually involved with production on this. It's hosted by a...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Telly starts a business as a helper, with appearances by Don Music and Forgetful Jones. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_1935 And maybe it's not that big a deal that it aired as late as season 15, but it is cool seeing one of the rare "Kermit the Frog, Smart Person" bits in season...

    Official: Elmo’s Staying Up Late Show coming to HBO Max on May 27, 2020

    Why did we need Sonny Friendly in the first place? Obviously, so they can have game show episodes/street scenes while Jim Henson was often too busy to do street scenes. We don't know if Eric Jacobson will be available for the show to do the show (and even if he is, we don't know if they'd use...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The other night I was looking at a YouTube playlist of Joe Raposo songs, and came across Drink of Water, a song I do not remember hearing before, and now it is in my head. The song is interesting. It sounds part-musical theater, while I’m also getting hints of Mom and Me (I guess Raposo...

    Official: Elmo’s Staying Up Late Show coming to HBO Max on May 27, 2020

    Who knows if the core performers will all be available or if it's just Ryan Dillion and David Rudman (and maybe some performers who don't really have their own characters yet). With that in mind, at the very least, they should put in cameos for Lefty the Salesman, Don Music, Baby Bear, and...
