    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I remember that guide from when it began and yet I am surprised that it's his first appearance as a regular. Somehow I thought he'd have been seen a bit more before that. And it's season 20 after 1988 had ended (perhaps he was busy doing his scenes from UHF). But I figured it out when I looked...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    This is a segment I was barely aware of, can't remember if I've seen it before or not, and am surprised that they changed it - and more surprised that, it appears, they changed it for that one video release. I had it in my mind (as little as I thought of it) that this one is from the 1990s, and...

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    I was surprised to see that Muppet Treasures has been online, in it's entirety, in English, for the last two years. How have I missed it? And with that, Fozzie's Muppet Scrapbook is the only one of the Playhouse Videos that I have not seen/seen the linking footage for.

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    The special can now be viewed on Sesame Street's YouTube channel.

    Video: "The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo" series trailer debuts

    We see Herry and Freddy in the house band. When I first saw that Herry would be part of the house band, I wondered if it'd be the same as the house band for the 50th anniversary special (as if that was meant as a teaser for what was to come). Though I can't tell who is playing the drums.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    The wiki finally has good quality images of an episode that had been on YouTube, but the only copies were recordings that were clearly a camera pointed at a television set (which I assume is why the pictures weren't on the wiki). So hooray for finally having the images (and in great quality)...

    Little things we've noticed

    Maybe I talked about it here, it has been on my mind a lot and I know I have posted about it on a Facebook page, but recently Muppet Wiki started a sandbox page on uncredited performers, and I was surprised to see that so many performers went uncredited for at least their first season. There are...

    Episodes that may have to be cancelled, or wouldn't be appropriate to show in these times

    Hopefully all these shutdowns will be over by July. I saw a Facebook post mentioning that they were shooting episodes at their home, I think it was an article on the show that I didn't really read. Makes me wonder if the performers are really doing episodes/segments from their homes, or if...

    Little things we've noticed

    I've pointed this out a number of times. And during the broadcast, as Big Bird is watching on outdoor televisions, it is nighttime, including when he's just missed by Miss Finch, which seems like it must not have been too long past the news broadcast. But it's not until the next day that...

    Dreams about Muppets

    I dreamt a dream which switched to a few Muppet-related things. One part had me looking at Muppet Wiki posts and seeing one where one of the administrators (one whom even had access to "trusted sources") was told to stop posting on the wiki for a while. He wasn't banned or blocked, and I...

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    It was said that Julia’s dad is an EMT. Has that fact been mentioned before or was it first revealed in this? When Abby talked about how not everyone can be with both parents, I thought she was going to mention her parents being divorced. But that’s not the point, where it was to lead in to a...

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    It was decent. I was only expecting it to be okay, but it was a little better than that (not by too much). I guess some scenes used green screen. It looked like Elmo was matted into the first scene. I was impressed with how similar Elmo’s room looked to his current room. I like the lighting on...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I thought that was a single-episode Street scene, but found an episode page (I forget which one - but from season 14, I found it when looking for Biff’s episodic appearances) which lists it as an insert as opposed to Street scene. And that page doesn’t have any images from this one (I wonder how...

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5022 - The Disappoint-O-Meter

    Thinking of the irony that Caroll Spinney's last episode was about a Disappoint-O-Meter and then, as the result of his vocals being dubbed over, we are disappointed. I guess the machine works!

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5022 - The Disappoint-O-Meter

    I thought the same (and also thought “one less posthumous performance from Caroll Spinney releases”). My only guess is that they felt Caroll didn’t sound right when he did the episode.

    The Muppets and YouTube.com

    Hopefully we'll find out what that appearance is from. Looks like it came in the late-1980s. One commenter thinks it's the local New York show The 11th Hour (it does look like a local show). Currently I can't find info on this show on the wiki (not on the pages for Yolanda or Masterson, there's...

    I’ve sometimes seen that happen.

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    Just a few days ago, I rented Gilda Live from iTunes, and I have many of the songs in my head - "Let's Talk Dirty to the Animals" (which I had already seen on YouTube a few years ago), "Goodbye Saccharine", "Gimmie Mick", and "Honey". I wasn't expecting the film/live stage show to have so many...

    New Sesame Street Special Pops Out of Nowhere

    At first, when I saw the listing of channels it will air on, I wondered "is this a late April Fools announcement?" So many channels at once... Has something like this happened for a special since Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue? The most recent Elmo's World DVD was titled Play Date. I wonder...

    Questions about anything

    In Beetlejuice, Lydia is the only mortal who is able to see the Maitland’s when they are ghosts (without having to recite certain spells). When she first meets them, after having already seen and known about them, she takes pictures when they are wearing ghost sheets, then she looks at the...
