    Little things we've noticed

    Not exactly sure whether this is the thread for what I'm going to bring up, but here goes. I wonder if the Muppet segments were supposed to be repeated. I know that primarily the animated segments, particularly letter and number segments, were made with the intention of being shown in...

    Dreams about Muppets

    A week ago, I dreamt that it was announced Muppet Vision 3D was moving from Walt Disney World to Disneyland. Last night I dreamt I was back in school, though as an adult, and the teacher gave us some kind of storywriting assignment, where we had to write a story that took up several pages (I...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Last night the wiki finished season 10 in terms of full episode rundowns. One interesting-sounding episode is episode 1313, with Gregory and Maurice Hines hanging out on the street. For years the page for Mr. Snuffleupagus mentioned that Snuffy once danced with them (the info was provided by...

    Little things we've noticed

    For years I've noticed the "Cameo Guest Stars" credit in The Muppets Take Manhattan is different from in the previous two movies, which both list all celebrities under there with no other heading (of course, The Great Muppet Caper doesn't have many celebrity cameos). But the cameos in MTM are...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Recently I've been thinking about the Peanuts specials of the 1990s, mainly how there were so few that decades (with most of them being in the early 1990s) and how some of them were released straight to video (even It's Christmas Time Again, Charlie Brown was released on video a few months...

    Sesame Street Records Returns

    Four new albums have been released on vinyl and are available exclusively at Cracker Barrel. Again, they only include songs that have been released on past albums, but with these being store exclusives,I guess it makes sense they'd only use existing tracks. In the last year, we've gotten...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I've wondered about this (and debated whether to ask about it), if the versions of Rubber Duckie (and other song inserts that were retaped with the same character, like Cookie Monster singing "C is for Cookie" or Kermit singing "Bein' Green") were given distinctive titles to tell them apart...

    RIP James Frawley

    For a long time, I thought James Frawley directed a lot of movies, even if I didn't know what other films he's directed. Then I saw his obituaries and was surprised that the majority of his work was directing television, barely even directing a movie after The Muppet Movie. I thought he directed...

    Little things we've noticed

    I first heard about there being two Countesses in the book Sesame Street Unpaved. I think I was more vaguely aware of The Count having a girlfriend, didn't know there were two (and in the years since Unpaved, I learned there were more Countesses over the years). I didn't like that the book only...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    Elmo seems to have such a fascinating early history. Starting with my history of learning his early history, the first time I saw anything about becoming a major character was on one fan site around 1996, I can't remember what site, but it said that Elmo was a minor character until 1984, I...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In the years between Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros., Mario often made random appearances in Nintendo games, such as appearing somewhere in various generic sports games or starring in the mini game (and cover) for Pinball or being the referee in Punch Out (which I can't remember off-hand if it...

    Little things we've noticed

    As a kid, I didn't really take in much about calling adults by their first name. Maybe it changed by the 1980s or 1990s. Aside from teachers and bosses (and by the time I started having jobs, all my bosses had us call them by first name), I didn't really call (or know to call) adults by Mr. or...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Yesterday I've been thinking about the period of years when the school building had thought balloons. That was weird, other inanimate objects don't seem to do this (I want to say I've seen a strip where the pitchers mound had thought balloons but can't remember, the kite-eating tree seems to...

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    I doubt Brian Meehl has tapes of his Elmo performances, if only because he has said many times that he doesn't really remember many instances of having performed the character. I'd like to think that if he had tapes of his performances then he would remember better. Then again, maybe he does...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    Recently I saw the strip where Charlie Brown talks about how he got Snoopy for the first time, a strip that was adapted into scenes in Snoopy Come Home and Life's a Circus (in fact I saw that I asked about this a few pages ago). It was recently reprinted in the sunday comics. So at the end...

    The "You know what?" thread

    On a similar note, New Years is among my least favorite holidays, I think that has a little to do with it. As a kid, as soon as New Years has passed, we're closer to school starting again. Thinking about it, we are out of school for Christmas during a time when school is already closed for a...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I really don't know off-hand how many of them have been uploaded onto the official Sesame Street channel. If you meant sesamestreet.org, I don't know off-hand how many of them (if any) can still be viewed on the site. Just because a classic clip was officially uploaded on YouTube doesn't mean...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Pinball #5 was uploaded by Sesame Workshop. It's the only pinball segment that was not available at sesamestreet.org (though it, along with the rest, was a bonus feature in Elmo's Magic Numbers and was included in episode 1257 which was part of Sesame Street Classics Vol. 1 so it's not like...
