    Put Down the Duckie DVD

    I actually don't have a copy of this (although I'm getting one soon) but it is mostly songs, if not entirely so. (Even the Grover the waiter sketch is musical) There are no animations. It is strictly Muppets/live action. The sketches on the special are in their entirety though. BTW did you...

    Put Down the Duckie DVD

    This is the 1988 PBS pledge week special originally entitled simply "Sesame Street Special". I wouldn't recommend it for 2-year-olds, as they probably have no idea who the special guests are, and there is little Elmo exposure, but for a fan of classic Sesame Street (especially one who was a...

    Sketches wanted--looking for traders

    Goodness! I wish I had had the sense to tape up all those episodes way back then! The thing about these episodes is just reading about them is bringing back such wonderful childhood memories as the 1987-1990 period is when I remember watching SS so much (I can't remember anything earlier than...

    Sketches wanted--looking for traders

    WOW!! I would love to get my hands on some of those! I would love to know (if at all possible) which episode numbers they are and if there would possibly be anything you'd take in exchange for copies (Noggin episodes, 1970s Mister Rogers episodes, blank tapes, or even cash [which I don't...

    "How I miss my 'ex'" lyrics?

    Yeah that was featured a lot in the late 80s (it's Patti LaBelle by the way) lyrics are available here. http://members.tripod.com/Tiny_Dancer/x.html Greg

    Rare animated films (not shown on Noggin)

    Hey Arnold creator Craig Bartlett did three claymation sketches with his character "Arnold": "Arnold Escapes From Church," "The Arnold Waltz," and "Arnold Rides His Chair". The first two were mostly showcased at animation festivals and are on two seperate volumes of the VHS series...

    What's the deal with the number 12?

    Well of course! That's why I mentioned it (and why I said it was obvious why that song only went up to 12). But it seems that there were more sketches that could be used in any episode that only went up to 12, or series of sketches that only went up to 12 then there were anything else. And...

    What's the deal with the number 12?

    Don't forget that "Honk Around a Clock" obviously only went up to 12. Really makes you think. Greg

    Local newscast interview with Elmo, Oscar, and Chris Cerf

    The WJHL-TV (Johnson City, TN) 6am newscast this morning featured an interview via satellite with Elmo, Oscar, and Christoper Cerf about the new "Songs From the Street" set. Nothing informative of course, but very entertaining. I got it on tape. Greg

    Sesame Street Letter/Number Guide: season 1

    Sonia Monzano Honored at Hispanic Heritage Awards

    It did not air on any network. It was syndicated. It mostly aired on NBC affiliates, but in many markets (such as mine) it aired on others. All I can tell you is to check your local listings. Greg

    Sonia Monzano Honored at Hispanic Heritage Awards

    I saw the awards show today and Sonia (Maria on Sesame Street) was honored with an award. Rosita from SS helped present her with the award. They showed a nice clip segment which included clips from "Big Bird Gets Lost," recent Sesame Street episodes, SS #2485 (Maria's wedding), #2614 (Oscar...

    Hispanic Heritage Awards (check local listings)

    If the Hispanic Heritage Awards are airing in your area this weekend, (and they haven't already aired) be sure to tune in... one of this year's honorees is our very own Sonia Monzano (Maria) and they feature a nice tribute/clip segment. The clips are from recent SS episodes, the video "Big Bird...

    SSE: What year do these characters first and last appear?

    Natasha had to have a name from the start, or they could not have copyrighted her under that name. Even though the Elmo puppet is much older, (it's listed as being created in 1983) it wasn't registered until early 1986, meaning they officially named him shortly before that. (His first...

    SSE: What year do these characters first and last appear?

    She's been on the show longer than that. She was in the "20 and Still Counting" special from 1989, so she's at least been on since 1989. She is listed in the Library of Congress Copyright database as having been created in 1985 and registered in 1986, so she's probably at least been on since...

    Info on two rare specials and some season premiere airdates

    In my school library, they have 4 books called "TV Season" covering the 1974-1975 through the 1977-1978 season. The books list every series and specials that aired in those seasons. They list two specials that I had never even heard of from the 1974-1975 season, and they also list original...

    Cowboy X

    That doesn't help me at all. I don't get Noggin. I just have a bunch of Unpaved episodes I've gotten through trades. Greg
