    Act 2 Abby: and that’s what it’s been like since I moved to the street. Rudy: WOW! (Zoe enters) Zoe: hey, what are you doing? Abby: I’m telling Rudy and Julia about what Sesame Street has been like since I moved here. Julia: fun! Fun! Rudy: yeah, it’s been fun. Zoe: but wait until I tell you...

    SST 50th anniversary fan fic: Julia Learns the Past

    Enjoy this fan fic for a 50th anniversary special. act 1 a square is in the center, as an instrumental of the theme plays. Rectangular boxes show up around the square, one ar a time, showing a little bit of audible dialogue before the next clip box shows up, four on top and bottom columns...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Given that the set doesn’t have anything too obscure/confusing for casual fans (I guess the most confusing might be a Brian Meehl Telly clip), and given a few of the edits (that had occurred in later broadcasts of those skits), it makes me wonder, if a pre-season 20 Monsterpiece Theater segment...

    Segments acceptable in 70s/80s, but now no longer the case

    The Ballad if Casey McPhee had a portion edited as far back as the 1980s? This is the first I heard of that. I’ve heard an album release of the song which seems to be as long as all video footage I’ve seen. And an avalanche is in what I’ve seen (and I’ve seen it in season 30 episodes). Cookie...

    "Brand X"

    I forgot that there was an animated segment about brand X. I thought you were asking about the first season segment with an early unnamed Guy Smiley.

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    I wonder about Do De Rubber Duck being pulled. It’s a fact that I don’t remember knowing about until this past year. In fact, it was last shown in season 38, the last to have pre-1990 segments, if it was pulled then then it’s an interesting coincidence. Or maybe they got the complaints and...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I had noticed that Put Down the Duckie ends before the ending music. I wondered if that would count as an edit, but I checked for past uploads of the non-celebrity version and it also ends at that point, making me wonder if the very end (Hoots turning his head and nodding) had the music or if it...

    "Brand X"

    I think it was a parody of commercials in general, not a specific one.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    One thing I’ve noticed is that in the transition before Do De Rubber Duck, there’s a sound clip of Bert making a pigeon noise. Audio of a Rubber Duckie squeaking and/or Ernie laughing would have been more appropriate for here. Makes me wonder if they planned to include Doin’ the Pigeon or some...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I wonder if there should have been some "character captions" for the "What's the Name of That Muppet?" section, since it seems to be asking a question. Many of the characters are referred to by name in their segments, but a handful (Lefty, Little Jerry and the Monotones) are not. Or maybe during...

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    I thought it was said that they would include some unaired segments (besides "Snuffy's parents get a divorce") as well as segments that aired but not very often. If they didn't air at all, then they probably wouldn't have an episode number to find the video copies (right now I'm trying to...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    It'd be ridiculous to make a wishlist if I won't be going, but there is so much I hope get shown. Starship Surprise, Forgetful Jones On a Roll with Cowboy Cole, Alphabet Polka, some Leslie Mostly and Deena and Pearl sketches (looking at "what links here" at Muppet Wiki, I recently found that, as...

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    I wonder if that event will have the whole episodes or just street scenes, though given that it's to showcase "lost" Sesame, they would be better off just showing the street scenes (I wonder if there is a mastered version of "Snuffy's Parents Get a Divorce" with inserts; they tested it with...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    I wonder if Toughpigs will have a review of this. Since Joe helped put it together, it'd be unfair for him to review the set, but Ryan still could (not to mention Toughpigs has a number of other contributors). In fact, The Muppet Mindset hasn't reviewed the set, either. I've checked and have...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Episode 441 has images: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_0441 We can finally see what the Muppet version of Officer Krumpky looks like (and we learn that the Muppet was performed by Jerry Nelson as opposed to Frank Oz, perhaps an error due to the fact that Oz would portray the human...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Today I decided to watch "Bob's Brother". When I first saw that Jeff Goldblum would be on this set, my reaction was "that's cool, at least one street story that hasn't been officially available since its original season", without being that excited, but in watching, it is an amazing episode. I...

    HBO Max to debut Sesame Street Seasons 51-55 and stream episodes from 50-year library

    So will the show start being available only for streaming and not broadcast (until they can air on PBS)? I wonder if this will be like Netflix, where for original series, they put out every episode of the season at once as opposed to putting out one new episode at a time.

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 50 Years and Counting DVD Set

    Some more tallys - how many segments from each year listed (I'm going by the year (not season) listed in the review, which goes by broadcast year; I do know off-hand which season but some I don't): 1969 - 1 1970 - 5 1971 - 2 1972 - 7 1973 - 1 1974 - 3 1975 - 2 1976 - 1 1977 - 2 1978 - 5...

    Sesame Street "Lost and Found" at the Museum of the Moving Image with Rosemarie Truglio and Norman Stiles November 24, 2019

    I would expect Sesame Workshop to provide the footage, though. I doubt the Henson Company Archives have much Sesame Street video content in their archives (they most likely have copies of all Jim Henson's films, and Out to Lunch, 20 and Still Counting, and The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland...
