Thanks :) Glass display cases are out of my budget and my space allowance, but I think I'll shop around for some kind of transparent plastic container that may house him.

I just recieved a 1965 Ideal Rowlf that I bought on eBay. One look at him when the box was opened, and it was clear that he is more fragile than any photos will indicate. Naturally, I want him displayed in my collection, but I also want to protect him from the elements. So, I was just...

I just found myself having a brief look at Google's online hosting of alt.tv.sesame-street, which is now just another landmine in the usenet wasteland. It just reminded me how irritated I used to get when people would treat Unpaved as though it was the be-all-and-end-all source of Sesame...

Would be great, but sadly would be a pipe dream. Too many memories of people having ideas for the Muppet line featuring the guest stars/human characters from the movies, and Ken Lilly making it clear that that couldn't happen because of rights issues.

It's fairly widely acknowledged that the Fisher Price Little People characters are the only pieces of Sesame merchandise to be based on the human characters. While it's true that these are most likely the only items that will allow you to hold a Gordon/Susan/Mr Hooper in your hands (with very...

Just watching the five episodes on the first 'Old School' volume, it seems that that in those early years there wasn't much in the way of continuing stories in the 'street' material (except for the first episode, with the rather thin story of showing Sally around the street). About when did...

High-res versions are available at http://www.google.com/logos/sesamestreet.html

Well, will we probably never see an all-encompassing 'full cast' photo, but the group shot on Google is nice enough for today.

So here I am, once again abusing the privilege of being in a time zone that's much earlier than most of you folks. Since it's already the 10th here in Australia, I'm jumping in to wish a happy 40th birthday to what is quite possibly television's greatest creation. To a show that embraced...

An Australian TV site has a slideshow of international versions of SS. See it here.

I stumbled across this in a Borders in Australia over the weekend, and was so keen to snap it up, but funds were low. Amazing concept which would do wonders for those of us who are curious about the international versions of show. Does anyone know of/have this? From looking a few places...

My Ernie Bendee, despite its age and natural deteriroation, was holding up reasonably well. However, I packed my collection up in boxes a couple of months ago so I could give the house a thorough cleaning. Unpacking and re-displaying now, it seems that the box has started to take its toll on...

After having these things for a number of years, it wasn't until yesterday (when I was organising my collection, and lining things up rather than having them scattered around my walls) that I had the epiphany: Seven different characters, each with a different colour packet. I've now realised...

Hey, Recent eBay searches :search: have revealed a number of auctions for Palisades collections which have a description that's some variation of: "Never played with or displayed, figures and accessories preserved in baggies, placed into baggies as soon as they were removed from their...

Hey all, Well, there was a time when I was convinced that the Little People clubhouse was forever going to be my collector's holy grail. There I was, proudly getting all of the Little People characters to sit on that one set because, well, also getting the Apartment set was also a bit of a...

I do understand the context, but still think that one or two cutaway shots would have served that purpose.

SS is not currently screening in Australia, so I don't get the chance to check the current credits. With 'Muppets' being owned by Disney, and Sesame Street characters being made by Henson and owned by Sesame Workshop, are the characters still called Muppets in the SS credits? Or has the issue...

It seems that whenever I'm searching for Little People merchandise on eBay (almost have a complete collection now, just need Big Bird's nest), I seem to encounter this person's store, selling custom-made figures of the current SS characters. The spirit of Little People may be there in the...

I've finally seen it on Youtube, and can't speak highly enough of the tribute. What really irked me, though, was the director's need to do numerous cutaways of Bindi Irwin grinning stupidly. As an Australian, I find it really embarrassing that this overexposed little brat is given this...

Just remember, folks: You live in the days of Youtube, file sharing programs and torrents. You have spent many years in internet communities where video trading and fan sites have offered their own wealth of insight. Consider legal concerns and corporate image that needs to be projected...
