I am not 100 per cent certain about this, but I have read (I haven't seen ET in 20 years) that the "Sesame Street" clips shown in that movie are from one or both of the two "Star Wars" episodes (#1316 and #1364). There is even a "conspiracy theory" of sorts which I read on the internet somewhere...

Hey, I'm a writer and performer on a show (on a local access channel) and I haven't even been able to get the producer (a fellow writer/performer and a personal friend) to get me copies of all the shows we've done.

I can definitely confirm that the "Sesame Street" premiere first aired November 10, 1969, and the Season 2 premiere aired November 9, 1970. Also, the 1983-1984 season began the week of Thanksgiving, which places it later in the month. Beyond that, I have no idea. Maybe if someone looked up what...

What?

Oh, for God's sake... Doesn't anyone ever think that a situation like that might create an opportunity for some interesting discussion between parent and child? Imagine that! A parent who may remember a vintage skit from their own childhood might explain to their own kid how they grew up with...

I don't know if anyone *specifically* ever addressed that question as it pertained to Noggin, but I do know that in today's television climate, one of the big important things (according to TV executives) is what they call "branding," which means to make sure that there can never be any question...

You're right! He was indeed standing in front of a brick wall! My parents wouldn't have been bugged by hearing characters call each other names, because they called each other names and they called me and my sister names. Was that right? Probably not. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that...

Thanks! I only ever heard it the one time, and had almost no info to go on. Thanks!

You know how when you watch a show every day for years when you're a kid, and don't watch it again for *many, many years* but you still have all these melodies and segments and lines and catch phrases spinning around inside your head...well, that was my experience with "Sesame Street." And when...

The show's "integrity" was "compromised" a long, long time ago...the train left the station *years* ago, when it started being aimed *only* at children (and really, really young children) rather than at children and their parents, and when it became an hour-long commercial for Tickle Me Elmo.

It's in one of the "Adoption Of Miles" episodes, but definitely does date back to at least the second (1970-1971) season. I remember noticing as a 3-year-old kid back then when I first saw it, that one of the princesses' voices sounded just like Betty Rubble. And of course, the King (Jim...

I think you're right about that; that's the way I remember it too, and that segment is in one of the early "Unpaved" episodes (a Season 2 episode). I'm gonna guess it dates back to the 1969-1970 season though, since the song itself is on the first album (though in a rerecorded version with...

That brings up an interesting point. Let's say that somewhere down the line, someone at Sesame Workshop did decide to release "season sets" (or some equivalent thereof) of "Sesame Street" and maybe even "The Electric Company." Would there even really be any point in trying to do comprehensive...

"Buffy" is a real person: folk singer Buffy Sainte-Marie (credited on the show as Buffy Sainte-Marie Wolfchild, I'm guessing her married name). She wrote a bunch of songs and had some hits in the 1960s, including "Until It's Time For You To Go." As far as whether that was her real-life...

Thanks! I just got in one of those bizarre places in my mind today for a few moments and well, there you go. And yes, I thought Don Music's skit was great too!

BIG BIRD: Hey, I want to watch "Sesame Street Unpaved," I'll turn on Noggin! Where's the TV? BOB: Big Bird! It's over, Big Bird. MARIA: Big Bird...don't you remember? "Sesame Street Unpaved" is cancelled. It's off the air. BIG BIRD: Oh, yeah, I remember. Well, I'll watch it the next...

Does anyone have copies of these? Did you see them? What do you remember about them? They did air on PBS before the show itself premiered, right? Didn't it have some different actors? As far as I know, the clip we've all seen with Kermit and Rowlf is not from these five "test shows," but...

All of the above is a very complex issue. Actually, several issues. And I don't have any insider knowledge and I don't know about the various rights, licenses and what not, but I do know that showing any old shows on cable or releasing them on video or DVD opens up a huge can of worms in terms...

Just to clarify, I wasn't "making fun" of anyone. Just trying to put things in perspective. Believe me, when I was younger, I was practically *bolted down* in front of my parents' TV set in their living room. I hardly ever went outside and got involved in any activities, and had a very badly...
