    Questions about anything

    At the end of Brewster's Millions (the 1985 version), when the deadline is almost up and it looks like Brewster will lose the challenge and inheritance, he's about to sign some papers, indicating that he doesn't get anything. But why is he signing it? Would it make any difference if he didn't...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the first four seasons of The Simpsons, the shows animation was provided by Klashy-Csupo. Around the time that the Simpson's made a cameo in the Sesame Street song Monster in the Mirror, Klasky-Csupo was animating segments for Sesame Street. I wouldn't be surprised if the company animated The...

    New Muppet series in development for Disney's 2019 streaming service

    When it says there'll be "a cooking show, a game show, and a talk show", will they all appear within the ten minute episodes, or will they be like a rotating schedule of format? Which could be neat, but with it being referred to as a variety format, that all seems limiting in terms of "variety"...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In The Empire Strikes Back, both Yoda and the force ghost of Obi Wan Kenobi warn Luke against fighting Darth Vader to save his friends, worried that Darth might turn Luke to the dark side. But now I wonder if they were really discouraging Luke because they suspected Darth Vader would reveal that...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    I didn't realize until the favorite Grover song and/or sketch day that they put "and/or" for bot Grover and Cookie Monster, meaning we could list a song and sketch. My picks for the past week: Day 13: Best Statler and Waldorf joke: "We'd love to see your act!"/"in fact we'd hate to miss your...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    I also posted this in the top ten anything thread, but I've compiled a list of top ten episodes I'd recommend checking out if the main purpose to watch is for wiki research. There's things from the guides I wonder and there's things I've seen people mention that happen in certain scripts. 10...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Recommended episodes to look at when every Sesame Street episode is digitized for public viewing, mainly for those who might want to go and watch episodes more for the sake of editing Muppet Wiki. 10. Early episodes with Irvine – some scripts call her Irving, was that name used in the actual...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    On the Tough Pigs message board, somebody pointed out an on-set Instagram photo of a flyer saying "please don't take pictures of Kermit". So I guess he is there but they're not allowed to take on-set photos (or requesting that nobody do so).

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I don't think I said I thought that based on just one page not mentioning them. I was simply saying it would have been good to have seen such a page (maybe see what some specific clips featured will be), but also noted that it could be like Elmopalooza and not have clips at all. Part of that...

    "Sesame Street's 50th Anniversary Celebration" special to air November 9 on HBO and November 17 on PBS

    I'm surprised to see that they put numbers by each line. Is this common in scripts (well, the audio recording sessions I've heard for Looney Tunes shorts/The Bugs Bunny Show have the lines said out of order and I think referred to by number)? At one point I had wondered if maybe the cast...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Are you two referring to that Sesame Supercut? Because that's a fan made video, not an official Sesame Workshop-produced thing. Though Northern Calloway had problems, I don't think Sesame Workshop is against acknowledging him or David. He was talked about in the books Sesame Street Unpaved...

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    Today Twitter is down whenever I click on the hashtag Muppetational May. I want to see other people's picks but for now I'll have to settle for seeing them in my news feed or clicking on Twitter pages for those participating. Actually, I clicked on a few other hashtags and got the same error. So...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    In that recent "Device Free Dinner" video, Oscar goes down into his bin and then pops up from in front. Was there a hidden trash can there?

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I was referring to if Sesame Workshop, not a random fan with their own copies, put out "full" but heavily edited episodes from the real early years. Sesame Workshop would have the episodes (though there's likely legalities that would keep certain segments from an official release). Of course...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Maybe this is a question for another thread, but whenever Sesame Workshop uploads a full episode or street story, it's usually from after the format change of 2002. Maybe it's harder to clear everything from earlier episodes (especially the 1970s and 1980s), but lately I've been wondering how...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Considering the format of Sesame Street Rewind, I actually hope this is mostly clips that are widely available (so fans who want to can just as easily watch the clip without the pop-up facts/sounds). I kinda wonder if they should upload a complete episode or street story with the on-screen...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Today's classic clip posted online was Rubber Duckie, with pop-up facts, as part of a series of uploads called "Sesame Street Rewind". I hope more of these go online. I wonder what else will come soon (my guess would be C is for Cookie). I'm glad they actually acknowledged that the...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Today, info on episode 1481 was added to the wiki, and I am glad to find info on the episode featuring the song "Next to You", which Big Bird sings to Barkley. I downloaded that song a year ago, thought it sounded good but (knowing it came from the show first and wasn't recorded especially for...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Thought up another idea that would make a great DVD/digital release or official online collection, though I don't know what kind of title it could have, but wouldn't it be cool if Sesame Workshop put out a special compilation of various songs that were part of a street plot as opposed to being...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I mistakenly thought the bonus episode, Elmo's Alphabet Race, would be the whole episode as opposed to just the street story. But at the beginning, there's some silence that stands out. It must be muting an underscore of the theme, but that silence sounds awkward. I know the theme song has been...
