    Questions we may never know the answer

    I don't think there was an official break-up episode. In fact, in the book Street Gang, it says that Northern Calloway was upset that they didn't have Maria marry Luis, but the producers or whoever thought it'd be risky to have an interracial marriage on the show, especially since they already...

    Gary Trousdale Working On Rocky & Bullwinkle Short

    I feel they could have had a real orange fat cat play Garfield. Considering Garfield never moves his lips when he talks in the cartoons (well, aside from a gag in the "Mistakes Will Happen" episode) they wouldn't have had to worry about making the mouth move. But then they had Garfield move his...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    It's interesting how in episode 1836, each performer except Caroll Spinney only gets one character each. Martin Robinson gets Snuffy, Brian Meehl gets Telly, and Richard Hunt gets Forgetful Jones, and none of their other characters make appearances. Given the current financial situation if this...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    I doubt the majority of segments that teach the concept of surprise are just labled "surprise". Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to think that the segment talked about her would be labled something like "Cast Surprise Song" or "Surprise (with cast)" or something like that. The Muppet Wiki talk...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    I don't think it's because it's not what Sesame Street is nowadays. After all, you could say that many of the episodes released on the Old School DVDs and iTunes "Sesame Street Classics" are not what Sesame Street is now and obviously those were released (I had wondered if the first two Old...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    There's a few segments I've read about via fan memories but haven't seen any official sources that confirm them. If they exist, I want to see them (which would prove their existience, though I don't doubt they exist). Ernie looks out his window and sees Mr. Snuffleupagus, but when he tells Bert...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    It sure has been a long time since Sesame Workshop last uploaded any classic clips, though some classic clips were replaced with different-quality versions (though I haven't noticed the different quality), in some cases the beginnings or endings were cut (and in some instances beginnings that...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    To me, I'd also say that any song from the show where video footage hasn't surfaced in english but the song did appear on an album would be a holy grail (of course I know of some cases where the segments turned up in other languages and fans made their own english copies by replacing the audio...

    Sesame Street "Surprise" Song

    I'm 99.9% certain that every episode still exists in full, which would mean this segment still exists. I recall reading a number of times long ago that Sesame Workshop has restored/remastered EVERY single episode a number of times over the years, even before Noggin started (and therefore when it...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 43

    Today I was watching the 1990s remake of Up and Down, and I noticed Cookie Monster's voice sounding a bit deeper than I'm used to Frank's Cookie Monster sounding.

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    What I've been wondering is why do they call it Apple Jacks if it doesn't taste like.... Okay, just kidding there. Actually, I wonder, do online advertisers feel financially secure? From what I understand when it comes to sponsoring online video content the advertisers have to pay every time...

    The "Have You Ever Wondered..." Thread

    Something I have wondered: If a writer writes a funny line or scene or character in a script, and the line/character/entire scene ends up not being filmed at all, but the writer really liked it, and it's not too speciffic to the production in question, is the writer free to reuse it for a...

    Questions we may never know the answer

    After watching episode 1316, I must wonder Osvaldo's first appearance on the actual street was like. Did Oscar invite Osvaldo to visit before leaving Puerto Rico? Did Osvaldo move to Sesame Street? Of course there doesn't seem to be many other known appearances by him (not counting the...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 1979-1984 DVD

    I guess I should post my thoughts on each episode: 1316 - I wondered if I'd feel it would be a bit slow, since it's an episode focusing one of the adults and the "street scenes" (which I put in quotes since the street's hardly present) are long, many of which have long gaps between inserts. But...

    Little things we've noticed

    I'd like to note some little things I've noticed after watching Old School Volume 3: In the Bert and Ernie: Pyramid segment, it seems the Ernie statue moves slightly when he's not supposed to. When they first encounter the statues the Ernie statue seems to slightly move back and fourth. I guess...

    Old School DVD set ideas

    Just this week I've been thinking that a good alternative to the Old School sets, if we don't get volume 4 anytime soon (and I feel it would make a good anniversary release) would be of a set focusing on the best-remembered episodes, ones that the casual fans would remember as well as the die...
