    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Looking at that one image, which must be a short part of a longer clip, how is it known that the missing main characters aren't in that clip but out of frame/their parts didn't make what made the cut of how much of that clip showed up at the Emmy's? A while back I thought up an anniversary...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    The uncut version appears as a bonus feature in Old School Volume 3. Couldn't that version have been used instead? This release has two "It's the Letter of the Day" segments led by Abby Cadabby (when I first saw the full segment listing I thought one of them was a "What's the Letter of the...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the Toy Story movies, it seems like the toys are only alive after they've been taken out of their packaging. And yet in Toy Story 2, Stinky Pete is able to move and interact with the other toys from inside his box even though it's said that he had never been outside of his original box. I...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Awesome Alphabet Collection came out today, and it is interesting. It's the first DVD release since 2014's Alphabet Songs to have a fairly big amount of clips from the Jim Henson years (and that release just had five), and the first since 2013's Fairy Tale Fun to have full unreleased clips from...

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

    Occasionally, there'll be things pointed out in a work of fiction based on geography of where the scenes were located. One has to do with the opening scene in Stripes, shot in downtown Lousville, Kentucky. I hear people point this out a lot because I've always lived close to the area, but at...

    Little things we've noticed

    Not so much a little thing I've noticed as much as something I recently realized. Shortly after I first saw Muppets from Space, I said that it was the best of the post-Jim Henson movies, and shortly after I first saw The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, I actually thought it was better than The Muppet...

    The "You know what?" thread

    May 4 is Star Wars Day, all because of the pun "may the fourth be with you". But the first Star Wars movie is episode 4. So it's more fitting than just the pun.

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    It does kind of have a sequel quality to it. And yet I can't decide if it's "even better sequel" quality, "underrated sequel" quality, or "not as good sequel" quality.

    Tough Pigs Muppetational May Challenge

    Muppetational May has returned this year! http://www.toughpigs.com/muppetational-may-returns/ Yeah, I brought it up a few days late. What I've chosen so far: Day 1: Top four obscure Muppets - Lips, Marvin Suggs, Crazy Harry, and Digit. Day 2: Top four obscure Sesame Street characters -...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I'm surprised that the Mad Painter clip notes Stockard Channing but not Paul Benedict. I don't think he was known at the time, and I'd expect his role as Mr. Bently to be notable enough. Some child actors who I didn't realize were on the show before they were famous (and they're ones whom I...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Don't really want to make this thread all about unrelated discoveries from the archives (do we need a thread for such a thing?), but that Sesame Street Fever movie sounds intriguing. The plot sounds odd - in this universe the Muppets are just television characters and a kid imagines them as...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    By "one shot" I meant not part of a recurring animated series. Though over time the wiki has allowed less one-shot Muppet sketches to have pages as well (lumping them into character sketch guides, a guide to Sesame Street game shows, just including info on parodies on pages for the source...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I found this review of Awesome Alphabet Challenge done by a kid, but he has the DVD case with him, and looking at the channel, it seems like it's a channel meant to review things for a kid (I think I saw a review for another recent Sesame Street DVD on that channel). He talks about one...

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    I thought it was because the wiki usually doesn't allow for pages on one-shot animation/film pieces (unless it's a song).

    Rare "Cracks" animation from 1970's Sesame Street

    That's an interesting theory from the podcast where it might have been banned because people might think of crack, the drug. Crack Master does sound like a good name for a drug dealer/user, and many of us used to think it was called "Crack Monster", my first thought was a monster obsessed with...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    There was that "fifty years in fifty seconds" video where I thought it'd be one-second clips from each season, only to be surprised to see so many clips within the same video footage/shots.

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Saw a full guide for one season 12 episode that has Poco Loco listening to Snuffy on the phone and imitating his voice. I think that's one that was described in the season 12 program guides, but it is clever to have a character from one performer imitate the voice of another character of the...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I thought of something that would make a real crazy idea for the 50th anniversary: A massive clip montage of every single scene, in chronological broadcast order, each scene lasting maybe a second or so, maybe also every shot of the episode number (though that'd be a little awkward since season...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I was surprised that pretty much none of those puppets in the workshop are the normal Anything Muppets. Some of them give me a Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss vibe, that green one looks like a cross between a frog and a Fraggle (and Martin Robinson did say that he's not a frog), kinda looks like a...

    Questions about anything

    I'm assuming all the celebrities/companies you mentioned do respond to fan questions, even if not yours. I know Weird Al Yankovic has said on his social media that he doesn't respond to fans posts because he's too busy, there might be others who have that policy as well. Though I believe the...
