"Sesame Street Unpaved" was a collection of 67 episodes Noggin ran for a few years (1999-2003 if I am not mistaken) which ranged from the very first episode through the last episode of the 1988-1989 season, with at least one episode from each "season" (and in at least one case, as many as...

In a great many cases, no...a lot of the vintage game shows of the 50s, 60s, 70s and even 80s *do not* exist on tape any more; they were erased years and years ago, long before anyone had ever even thought about there one day being a cable channel to rerun them on. This is why in many cases...

My reaction (36 year old SS veteran viewer) First: Does anyone else besides me find it a little ironic that an anniversary special for a supposedly *educational* children's TV show should have a *grammatically incorrect* title? ("The Street We Live On;" didn't anyone teach these people that a...

How can someone "hate" a fictional character? But to answer your question: Back when I was a kid (when I walked three miles to school in a snowstorm, uphill both ways) the characters had more depth to them. The writing was more interesting and more sophisticated. A lot of the jokes went over...

Kraml Milk In the 60s and early 70s, there was a (probably regional) milk company called Kraml Milk. I don't think they exist any more, but in the 1960s, Jim Henson did a bunch of commercials for them with some early Muppet characters. Around 1980 or so, I once happened to see a delivery...

Just an aside regarding the "Jughead" segment. I presume you're referring to an animated segment featuring Jughead from Archie Comics. When I got Noggin, I saw this segment (again) for the very first time in "Sesame Street Unpaved" show #2356 (from 1987). Even though I was 20 years old then and...

Sorry to drag up an old thread... I used to get amused (but now only get annoyed) by people insisting that "Sesame Workshop has to release every Sesame Street episode ever made and every Electric Company episode ever made right now, right? And you agree with me, right? Well, don't you?" as...

In one of the Season 2 Unpaved shows (#131?) there is a Muppet segment featuring Ernie and Grover. Ernie is trying to count balloons, but he keeps losing the place where he started so he doesn't know how many balloons he has. Grover stops by and offers to help. Grover begins to count: "One!"...

No one is "forcing" anyone to do anything. In fact, I myself have "Muppets Magic" and that's it as far as any commercial DVDs. My point was that corporate mentality being what it is, the economic bottom line is the only thing that matters to the people who are in a position to release this...

Here is what *you* can do to make this happen: Buy "Christmas Eve On Sesame Street." Buy "Put Down The Duckie." Buy "Songs From The Street." Buy "Muppets Magic." Buy the "Muppet Show" DVDs. If stuff like the above *sells* in sufficient quantities to economically justify the...

Yes, it would be great if "all" the episodes were shown...but I can't let that remark pass by me without invoking comedian Steven Wright, who said: "You can't have everything...where would you put it?" Well, where would you put it? Challenge: Name me *one* show that has been rerun on cable...

"They" already did that, for almost four years. The Noggin channel started out as a joint venture between CTW (now known as Sesame Workshop) and Nickelodeon and was a sister station to Nickelodeon and TV Land. Noggin ran a package of 67 "Sesame Streets" from between 1969 and 1989 and another set...

Well, I suppose that is not up to me. Moderators? However, I shall point out that in addition to both being produced by CTW and both involving Bill Cosby, Joe Raposo and possibly others, at least three of the "Sesame Street" Muppets made guest appearances on "The Electric Company." I do have...

I don't know a whole lot about this, but the above sounds right to me. This is a completely separate subject altogether, but there is a situation going on right now with the producers of "SCTV" (Second City Television), a sketch comedy show that was produced in Canada between 1976 and 1984. Fans...

This is one of the reasons I don't do much video trading any more. There are a lot of people who'll scam you like what you're describing above...and then there are folks who will do an even trade, but they don't tell you up front what the quality of their stuff is, and it can be really bad or...

Yeah, in the last year or so I had nothing but trouble getting into "Yesterdayland." The whole site is shut down now, but there is a "mirror site" somewhere on the internet that preserves a lot of the information that was there. Yeah, I liked Roosevelt Franklin too. Yes, the original...

That sounds right...I do remember reading that when Matt Robinson originally performed Roosevelt's voice, someone else (one of the Muppeteers) actually physically operated the puppet. So that makes sense. After Jery Nelson took Roosevelt over, though, I would imagine Nelson would have operated...

A friend (who is an animation buff and professional cartoonist) told me the singer of "The Alligator King" is Jack Sheldon, the jazz singer and musician who sang several "Schoolhouse Rock" songs, including "Conjunction Junction," "Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla," and others. Other folks here and at...

That's interesting. The station that runs it in Chicago (also Channel 62, WJYS) is also a Home Shopping station.

I'm not someone's parent, so I really can't take sides on that...but my own gut reaction is that spanking is only appropriate when practiced between two consenting adults. :)
