    10,000 POSTS! TWO in One Day.

    When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it meant that somebody posted 10,000 posts in one day. That would be amazing. Maybe I'll try it. Or maybe not.

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    I did some research, and if the next set has the season 6-10 premiers, then there are, by my count, at least three sketches that get repeated in multiple episodes throughout the set, at least seven sketches that were released in volume 1 (I feel like I counted 12, but I can't remember what some...

    what if there was a multi-part Sesame Street documentary?

    Yeah, behind-the-scenes clips and stills could be shown between clips, and maybe over narraration (I would have the episodes include some sort of images of the performers if the episode is about them). I wonder how many behind-the-scenes clips of Jim Henson performing on Sesame Street exist (I...

    Too old for Sesame Street

    And I guess it hurts more when not every episode of a particular show is shown on that network. Nickelodeon onyl showed 65 episodes. Then again, Nickelodeon only showed the first 96 episodes of Muppet Babies,a dn reruns of that show were broadcast on Nickelodeon for 7 years. And many shows that...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    Here is my new question: Do you happen to know what special effects were used to make bubbles come out of Bill the Bubble Guy's head? Of course, that's assuming that you got to see the puppet in person, and saw how it worked.

    Too old for Sesame Street

    I don't know why, but I wonder how long Nickelodeon's contract for TMS lasted, and were ratings for it really good then? Nickelodeon only showed reruns of TMS for two years, and halfway through it's first year on Nickelodeon reruns were cut back from two a day to just one, during the Nick Jr...

    1-2-3-4-5..6-7-8-9-10..11-12!

    It's been announced that Old School Volume 2 will focus on seasons 6 through 10. If it includes the premiers for those seasons (like how the first set had the first five season premiers), then the 2 segment should be on the next set. It was in two of the second five season premiers. I forget...

    what if there was a multi-part Sesame Street documentary?

    This is what I would make for the contents of some of the performer-themed episodes that I haven't listed. Obviously, the scenes between skits would discuss their Sesame Street work and contributions, and also talk about the characters before the clips are shown. Frank Oz: *Bert teaches...

    what if there was a multi-part Sesame Street documentary?

    Believe it or not, I actually thought up a "season 2" episode guide last night. So here are episodes 27 through 52. Some are follow-ups to first season episodes. 27. Jim Henson and Frank Oz 28. Big Bird 29. William Wegman 30. Celebrities 31. Animation 2.0 32. Bob 33. Jerry Nelson...

    What does MTR have?

    I've never been there, but I know that the original pilot version of TMS with Juliet Prowse is there, as are at least two 1970s episodes of Sesame Street that were not shown on Noggin (I forget what their numbers are).

    what if there was a multi-part Sesame Street documentary?

    I've been thnking of ideas like this for a long time. Heck, back in 1999, I had an idea for a Toonheads-style Henson series, featuring themes involving the Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, the creature shop, and other stuff. I was thinking that such a Sesame Street series should be a...

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    I think I worded what I said wrong (I edited some of it to make it more clear). I was commenting that we know that it will cover the 1974-1979 years now, a month or two earlier than we knew last year when it was announced that the first set would cover the 1969-1974 years, and that this set will...

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    Isn't it ironic that news of what exact years will be covered was announced earlier than was announced for the first set, and it will be released slightly later than the first set?

    The Jim Henson Hour

    I don't know. I had read an interview with soembody invovled witht he Mupets who mentioend that a long time ago. I can't even remember who it was whow as interviewed or what website had this interview, but the person interviewed also mentioned that ABC probably didn't know what to do with...

    what if there was a multi-part Sesame Street documentary?

    And here is how I would make the Grover episode be shown: *Talk about Grover's origins *the original Near and Far *talk about Grover changing from gray green to blue, and his regular team-ups with Herbert Birdsfoot, Kermit, Mumford, and the kids *Herbert Birdsfoot talks to Grover about...

    The Jim Henson Hour

    It was cancled. I've seen different comments from different people who ahve different ideas of why it was probably cancled. In Jim Henson: The Works, it is said that fans were probably expecting something more simple that what the show was (like a slightly updated Mupet Show). Steve Whitmire...

    Old School Volume 2 coming this fall

    It's already comercially available on the Rock & Roll! DVD. Of course, I don't know whether that is still in print or not (it's been two years since I last saw a copy of the DVD in stores), and Rock & Roll! does edit the beginning and end of the song (I haven't watched this clip on You Tube, but...
