    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    Super Grover was the focal point of an episode just last season ("M is for Missing"). Oh how soon we forget.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I've been wondering when they'd get around to it. Funnily enough, I don't think they'd have to change Hooper's much; they never changed it to resemble the version from seasons 30 to 45.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I'd say probably because's he vampire-eqsue and that would be scary for kids. Except now you have things like Vampirina, so it's a moot point.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    For one thing, this doesn't appear to be an officially-sanctioned Sesame thing (I'm sure they have Sesame's permission, though).

    Little things we've noticed

    I mean, there was time from when the show was created to it being an established thing that they were allowed to rethink some of those choices.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    It's labeled internally, I believe, as a season 1 skit. I've seen some examples of a new version of something superseding the old one's production code in some materials.

    Super Bowl LIII: The Commercials

    I don't get this thing of putting them up online before they air. They're paying millions of dollars for the airtime, while the web is free, and it takes the fun out of seeing them for the first time.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    I'm sure it's related to the 50th anniversary somehow. They've always prided themselves on the celebrities that have appeared and it's a fine way of showcasing it.

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4912 - Elmo's Happy Little Train

    Educational-wise, I dislike Smart Cookies the most because every segment is the same educational goal (stop and think). The Crumby Pictures and Foodie Truck bits each all have the same theme, but each individual bit of each has a different, specific thing to teach. Smart Cookies was the exact...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Well the thing is that the audio from the Paley Center viewing stations comes from the headphones, not speakers. So, whoever recorded those obviously had their headphones on, preventing any real audio from being captured. All in all, a foolish idea from all fronts.

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4912 - Elmo's Happy Little Train

    Would've been really lame if Oscar weren't involved. The Andy Grammer song might be my favorite this season (aka the only good one so far). I'll admit, I kinda skip around the Foodie Truck bits. The only really funny parts are Gonger's reaction to Cookie screwing up again.

    No, that's from the Henson exhibit at the MOMI.

    Steve Whitmire 2018 Convention Appearances

    I'm pretty sure Rick wasn't involved in the creation of Avenue Q. He had worked with the composers for that Kermit Prince of Denmark thing they had done previously, so they went to him again to help develop the puppets for AQ; all the early stuff was already conceived of at that point probably...

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4911 - Honk If You Love Libraries

    Yeah, it was a total mess (even though I like seeing Honkers used so prominently). I can't believe these past muster with the people making it.

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    I'm not sure I'd want another coffee table book - the 40th anniversary one was as fan-pleasing as possible and I don't know what they could do to make one less redundant.

    Sesame Street Season 49 Episode 4910 - Astronaut Elmo

    I knew at some point they would start doing repeats of the HBO-era stories.

    Episode info from trusted sources

    If we have video confirmation of the episode, we don't really need that tag, regardless of how it was originally made.

    Classic Sesame shows removed from HBO

    Maybe it was a rights thing. They can air it still, but not stream it. Wish I knew why all the Joe Raposo tracks were cut though. The deal seemed rather hasty so they might not have been able to negotiate in time.
