    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    The seller put up an extensive collection of screenshots, so that should give a pretty good idea of what is on it: https://picasaweb.google.com/101808817579582955272/16mmFilmTheBestOfSesameStreetDevelopingSelfEsteemOn3Reels?feat=embedwebsite

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Great clips showing up lately, thanks to the uploaders! Quick question... is anyone able to point me in the right direction of obtaining the full episodes that have recently turned up? I did manage to find the season 1 shows that turned up last year. Thanks.

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Trailer

    Chip had another cameo in the full version of the pilot... continuing the running gag that he can't remember which Muppet production he was in. "Was I in Muppet Treasure Island?"

    Video: "The Muppets" Official ABC Trailer

    Just watched the full 10 minute pilot (as I work for an ABC station) and it was pretty funny. The online trailer pretty much gets the gist of it, but it works better in its full form. Probably some of it will end up getting reworked into the first episode of the actual series. Can't wait til fall!

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    If anyone here has a membership to the Television Production Music Museum Vault (www.tvpmmvault.com), they just posted the full original closing theme. And it sounds incredible.

    Sesame Street Overload!

    Don't be sorry.. it's fun to make fun of ugly 70s stuff (and you have to admit most of it is pretty ugly.)

    What was the purpose of the episode numbers?

    As for the episode numbers, the original purpose was because of the special Teacher's/Parent's Guides that accompanied the series, laying out specific activities and lessons to go along with each episode. The episode number being displayed on screen was so you knew which lessons/activities to...

    TV Alert: The Great Muppet Caper part of February's Hub Family Movie schedule

    The edits were a bit distracting, but the HD transfer was gorgeous... hopefully this means good things for a Blu-Ray release in the future.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    I may be misremembering the school episode... Puerto Rico was definitely a 5-parter though.

    Pre-Order Sesame Street Old School Volume 3 (1979-1984) coming to DVD 11/6

    There are actually three shows on here that are from a 5 episode series (Puerto Rico, Big Big Goes to School, and Echo Rock.) Snuffy was seen by the adults in 1985 (so if there's an Old School Vol. 4, expect it there), no idea on Alphabet Chat, and Mysterious Theater didn't debut until 1989.

    The Tree Who Wanted To Leave The Park

    http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Season_26_(1994-1995) According to that, it was episode 3272 from 1994. The street plot was also apparently repeated as part of 3571 in early 1997.

    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    I feel like The Hub would be the best place also... considering it's run by Margaret Loesch, who a) ran Marvel Productions when Muppet Babies was in production, and b) ran Jim Henson Television for a time and helped put together The Odyssey Channel (which did run Muppet Babies IIRC.) The Hub...

    Interview with Dave Coulier on "Muppet Babies"

    I wonder if putting it on something like Playhouse Disney or The Hub would be the best way to test the waters on if the show can still be popular before hitting the DVD market.
