    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    That's why it's a wishlist! Joe has mentioned that there's going to be some rare stuff, we don't exactly know how many rarities or what he means as rarities, but with this upcoming release, when thinking up a wishlist, I often don't think of many that are that rare. Ignoring what street...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    As I kept thinking and rethinking a wishlist, in addition to including what has been confirmed in articles, I thought, instead of posting a straightforward wishlist, I'll post a basic outline of what I usually think/wish for this set. Most repeats from other sets have either already been...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    To think, there are other franchises where the fandoms have somebody to interact with who has been involved with DVD releases. Okay, so right now I can only think of that for classic animation releases, with Jerry Beck and the late Earl Kress being people who have been involved with a lot of...

    Questions about anything

    In 101 Dalmatians, does Cruella de Ville really need to make a dalmatian-furred coat from all those puppies? Wouldn't a few big dogs do just fine (not to mention she'd need less if they were full grown)? Also, was she just trying to make the fur coat for herself to wear or was she trying to...

    Has anyone seen this segment before?

    I'm pretty sure that I recently saw it in a guide, I'm thinking for either season 12 or 13, but I'm searching the wiki and can't find it. I've searched the wiki pages for B and letter segments and can't find it there, typed "Letters Make Words" with no results, also searched "sesame street...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Recently Muppet Wiki started a sandbox page on uncredited performers, and last night I dreamt that the wiki's forum had a big discussion on the topic.

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    I decided to compare the run time to the 40 Years of Sunny Days release, which was five hours also (disc 1 was 180 minutes, which I think totals three hours), while this release is five hours. As usual, I keep thinking up my own wishlist in addition to what's been confirmed. Oddly, I haven't...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    I've heard that as well. It came nine years after the characters introduction, eight years after Hunt started performing him, and so unfortunate that he only had a few more years after. At least he didn't hand the character off to another performer like he did with Elmo.

    "Letter B" lawsuit

    That was an old lawsuit I was actually thinking about. Additionally, Jay Ward had plans to produce a Bullwinkle special spoofing the Super Bowl, but when somebody decided to ask permission from the NFL (I thought only Weird Al Yankovic had the decency to ask for permission to do parodies), they...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    On the "top ten anything" thread, I posted lists of both the top ten segments I most hope don't get repeated from the Old School/40 Years of Sunny Days releases as well as the top ten segments on those releases I would most not mind getting again on this set...

    "Letter B" lawsuit

    Was there a time when people could sue over parody? Seems like people used to sue and now parody is protected by law. I've read that either the owners of the Beatles music or their lawyers sent Dr. Demento cease and detist letters over playing a few Beatles parodies, including Weird Al...

    "Letter B" lawsuit

    If you click on the images at Muppet Wiki and "what links here", you can see all a listing of all episodes containing the segment, in order. If it appears in an episode after season 23, you can find the last episode of the domestic Sesame Street that it appears in (and if it's last appearance is...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    When it comes to the upcoming Sesame Street: 50 Years and Counting DVD set, in terms of the fact that Joe Hennes said that there'll be some crossover with the three Old School sets and 40 Years of Sunny Days.... Here's my list of top ten segments that appeared in any of those that I would be...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I used to think that the hot air balloon sequence in The Great Muppet Caper was done on an indoor set, with the wideshots being a miniature, and thought that the "Hey, a Movie!" number was done outdoors in a real city street. And yet it's the other way around. Also, on the Moving Right Along...

    50th Anniversary DVD announced

    One thing I've realized is that while one press release confirms Ladybug Picnic, that doesn't mean it's the original. Of course it probably is - the article refers to it as a classic, though the article writer could have been informed of the songs inclusion without knowing it was remade and...

    Make classic Sesame Street available online (petition)

    Maybe this would be better for another thread, but considering the talk of them cutting the number of episodes down to 65 in season 30, perhaps also combined with putting Elmo's World in the last 15 minutes, I wonder if they ended up doing more segments than they thought they could do. It seems...

    Do you mean Spinney preferred the random street segments or the more connected street segments?

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Here's a mash-up of Grover mishaps: Including a brief clip from the rare segment where Grover carries the word "help". Watching this, I pretty much predicted what kind of clips would be there at the end.
