    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    In addition to those things I pointed out about Warner Bros.'s Sesame Street releases (and what dr.tooth said about them all being Elmo videos), I've noticed that all but the Elmo's World and upcoming bugs video contain things that were on the recent 40th anniversary DVD. Part of me wants to...

    Your Thoughts: The Best of Elmo 2

    It's been a month and such a thread hasn't been started. I just got it recently, so I thought we'd start a thread about The Best of Elmo 2. I don't think it was very bad, though it's not the best Sesame Street direct-to-video release. It's a lot better than Being Green and Cookie Monster's...

    It's not easy being a Classic Sesame Street fan

    I remember before the first "Old School" volume came out, and I don't know whether this user had an actual official source or if it was just a game of "telephone", but somebody said that Sesame Workshop still has to pay residuals to everybody invovled when their work is released, and has to...

    eBay Muppet Treasures and How You Found Them!

    When I first saw the title, I thought this had to do with the 1985 video Muppet Treasures.

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    Apparrently, part 3 of Family Reunion comes out tomorrow (I thought they normally came out on wednesdays, but Muppet Wiki lists June 3). Tough Pigs has a five-page preview, which does not reveal the issue's surprise relative (it does introduce some new unknown character watching Robin)...

    Uncle Deadly WILL be in the New Muppet movie!

    This is good, but I hope they can encourage Disney to have them rebuild Thog. I wonder if they're familiar with The Jim Henson Hour, so we could get the return of Digit and maybe Leon. Or maybe we can get Brian Meehl to go back to performing. He could probably do a good Marvin Suggs (I...

    A Muppet Freak Update

    Good watch-along. I actually dreamt a few weeks ago (perhaps in anticiapation over it) that I was reading the article. The Joel Grey episode was the first episode I saw from the first season, but the second one I saw (I saw the Elton John episode first). And by coincidence the second and...

    Is Rowlf public domain?

    Of course Sesame Workshop does include copyright disclaimers for appearances by characters not associated with the show (like Batman and the Star Wars droids).

    Your Thoughts: The Muppet Show Comic Book

    I just thought of another long-lost relative who could appear in the "Family Reunion" storyarc: Fozzie's uncle who left him his studebaker! I guess he probably won't appear in it, but it wpould be great to actually finally see that uncle, who was only mentioned in one production.

    Is Rowlf public domain?

    I've been wondering, is Rowlf still copyrighted/trademarked? I know that a character trademark is good as long as the character is still being used, and throughout the 1990s there were long periods where Rowlf wasn't used. I don't know how long a character can go without being used to still be...

    The Muppet Mindset

    It's the number seven film from Jim Henson, also known as "Baker #7" (those films tend to have multiple titles... CTW Archives files and DVD chapter stops list them as Henson #1 and so on, while sesamestreet.org lists then as Baker Number 1 and so on, and the songs and music are registered as...

    The Twiddlebugs' Smoke Detector

    It obviously is from the late 1980s (judging by the Ernie puppet, plus the fact that Hulu claims it is from season 18). I wonder how many more Twiddlebugs sketches are from the 1980s... I usually think of them as 1970s characters, though I know that the "Using the Door" sketch is also from the...

    It's "Space Day" with Telly.

    The Muppet Mindset

    You didn't post the last few updates here, but I'd like to point out that in my "Top Ten Sesame Street Animated Inserts" article that was posted yesterday you put the wrong image over "Jazz #7". The image posted there is from "Henson #7".

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street 40 Years Hardcover Book

    In the page on David, there's a bit where it talks about a scene where Telly talked about emotions, seeing them kissing and saying "That's love". At the beginning of that paragraph, it says "Maria and David shared an on-screen kiss that's still fodder for fan gossip today", before talking about...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I think "123s with Elmo" would be a better title. But if such a DVD were to come out, I wonder if it'd still have Professor Grover, or if The Count would be the teacher.

    New Video: Muppets' American Woman

    I thought it was good, though I heard a bit of Grover in Sam's voice.

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I hadn't noticed that (though I don't really see "Firefly Fun and Buggy Buddies" as an "Elmo video" aside from him being on the cover and in some of the material). It's too bad that first "Preschool is Cool!" video has the title "ABCs with Elmo", as Professor Grover supposedly appears as Elmo's...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Recently I went to the official Warner Home Video site to ask if there's plans for any nostalgic Sesame Street releases (and to possibly influence Warner if there's no current plans). The response I got back was a standard "we can't comment..."-type reply which doesn't acknowledge what I asked...
