So I hadn't really listened to the song much until recently, but now that I'm listening to "Born in a Trunk" so much now, I now realize that it's about the trunk of a tree that was chopped to make a stage. All this time, I assumed the trunk in the song was the kind of trunk used for...

Just last night, I thought of something that would make for a great 50th anniversary set, though it'd probably appeal to the hardcore fans a lot more than casual audiences (if that matters): A disc or set containing 50 inserts or street scenes that haven't been seen in years. Meaning ones that...

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but after seeing the "first appearance" of many early Elmo segments being episodes from season 12 or later, even if they're known to have been taped during season 11, I must wonder, was "We're All Monsters" the only Elmo insert that was broadcast...

A few interesting things I recently found in Muppet Wiki's guides based on the trusted sources: Jim Henson's E claymation actually aired after season one, I think it was in episode 163. The first season show content had "DUMP" by that segment, I thought all those "DUMP" notes happened during the...

It seems like whenever Bruno makes a live appearance or appears on location, he's on rollerskates. Makes me wonder if he ever rollerskated in a scene on the regular street set.

I wonder how likely Disney is at this time to want to ask Whitmire to participate in something for the Muppets (though I don't doubt he'd take the opportunity).

Last month they started Sesame Street Catalog and put out some new compilations (with no previously-unreleased tracks), I wonder if they're just re-naming that or if this is a completely different thing (the press release does mention those albums that were just recently released). One thing...

In general, commercials tend to only be broadcast for one or maybe two years, while television, movies, and specials have been rebroadcast and released on video many times (not counting TV Land's Retromercials or the fact that we can watch almost any existing commercial online these days). The...

Last night I dreamed there was going to be a new Sesame Street DVD themed around Sesame Street News.... While also containing some non-news pieces. The cover only had a small circular image of Kermit in the middle, along with multiple images from multiple sketches, leaving Kermit out of those...

I was just looking at Muppet Wiki's page for episode 1443, and that one mentions Oscar, Grundgetta, and Osvaldo going to a grouch dance establishment called the Groucha-cha Palace. Makes me wonder if "Groucha-Cha Palace" is the same as "Cha Cha Palace", maybe with a name change from script to...

It says that by the 13th season Elmo no longer mumbles but his dialogue is still basic. Brian Meehl has said that when he performed Elmo, he was speaking in single words, from the first two scripts I get the feeling he was saying single words in addition to primarily mumbling. Was Elmo still...

Last night I was looking in a book that included some pictures of scenes that are clearly from the first season of Sesame Street but the sketches haven't surfaced online or in fans collections, but I was able to identify some of the sketches with things I read about online. Most of them showed...

Well, they were different companies producing the sets and different people writing up the facts. Of course it's been so long since TMS season 3 has been released that there should have been plenty of time by now to make them for seasons 4 and 5. The Simpsons had a fact track on one episode...

Top ten scenes/lines from Home Alone. 10. Kevin rolling that big thing down the stairs. 9. Harry and Marv's remarks to Kevin after they almost run over him. 8. A flame gun sets Harry's head on fire. 7. Kevin's exchange with the clerk at the supermarket. 6. The aftershave scene. 5...

A few nights ago I dreamt that I was given access to the trusted sources that a handful of Muppet Wiki users have had in contributing Sesame Street episode guides, it was fun looking at some of the scripts before full rundowns were edited onto the wiki. But unfortunately, I was allowed to look...

A lot of the recent spoofs are online-only. I know that season 46 had "Orange is the New Snack" and past Cookie's Crumby Pictures segments (and maybe some other past segments) have been repeated since, but aside from all the online stuff, I haven't heard of any spoofs (maybe I should go back and...

Top ten franchises to not be licensed as Funko Pops yet: 10. The Wonder Years 9. Taz-Mania 8. Oliver and Company 7. The Goldbergs 6. Ernest 5. Newhart 4. Happy Days 3. Muppet Babies (either the original or new version) 2. Dinosaurs 1. Super Mario Bros.

The next Sesame release, which will also be the first release for 2019, will be called Celebrating Family, which will include a number of fairly recent family-focused episodes, such as the introduction of Rudy (which I figured would be included once I saw the title, before I read the...

Thinking more about this, as I learn of more titles as they appear in scripts, and after more segments are added to the "unidentified Sesame Street segments" sandbox page at the wiki, if there's a new Sesame Street DVD release for the hardcore fans in the future, there probably won't be anything...

One thing I've noticed in a few guides is segments called "NY Remote" and then a number and title (the only one I remember off-hand is "NY Remote #47 - Without People (Big Bird)"). I assume these mean they were shot on location in New York, and was amazed to see that there were at least 47 of...
