Jim did not fall ill until late April or early May 1990...the episode aired in January of 1990. I restate, most of the main puppeteers were working on either M@WDW or MV3D at the time.

I dunno, I have some very faint memories from when I was very young...I think it was the fact that I didn't understand what anybody was saying (I used to be afraid of hearing speech that I couldn't understand, for some odd reason).

I know a couple: #2: scene = carnival / amusement park, music = steel drum #7: scene = traveling around the world #9: scene = baseball, music = steel drum

Beaker: The episode's original air date was January 11, 1990. And you're right about [network] reruns being dedicated to Jim Henson (however, the syndicated reruns don't have the dedication at the end...)

Disney: Financial problems. Losing lots of money. Refused to pay EM.TV's original asking price. (Besides, Disney will screw up the Muppets, and turn them into cardboard cut-outs of themselves. Remember what they did to their classic characters? They turned them into mere icons, cardboard...

I will restate: Jim Henson did not work on this special. Jim, as well as Frank and most of the other main puppeteers, were working on something else (since this was made in late 1989, probably The Muppets at Walt Disney World, or MuppetVision 3D).

Odyssey cut it when they showed it in 1999 and 2000, so I wouldn't be too sure (but they didn't cut the songs, I know that...)

I think this was being done when Henson was doing MV3D or M@WDW, so most of the main group was busy (that's why Jim and Frank weren't involved, and Richard only did Statler). I do know this was made when Jim was still alive...

But why bother even watching them? Hallmark has always been known to take every Henson program they show and hack it to ribbons...

It is just a name for Henson Christmas specials. A couple days ago, they showed "Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree", which appeared on the schedule under the "Jim Henson Presents" name...

I think The Count first appeared in 1972 or 1973...so in a few weeks, I think (after they get to Gabi's birth, they'll probably go back to where they left off, with the fifth Unpaved episode from season 1)...

To everyone who thinks Noggin no longer runs classic SS, you're wrong. On late Friday/early Saturday and late Saturday/early Sunday, at 3:30 AM Eastern/12:30 AM Pacific, they do run one classic episode of Sesame Street (so they show two per week).

I couldn't watch this. I just couldn't watch this. I tried for about 20 minutes, but I got bored and changed the channel. The Muppets just haven't been that good since Jim died....:( :( :(

The Doc/Bert/Ernie conversation is one of my favorites, but I can't remember the entire thing, unfortunately...

Re: What Ever Happened To... Probably a mistake. Placido Flamingo is a parody of Spanish opera singer Placido Domingo.

Well, guess what? Mo Willems did "The Offbeats" (as well as "The Misfits," the original short cartoon that served as a pilot for "The Offbeats")

Happy 20th, Emmy! FOMP!

What makes you think that? He's seems polite and mature, so what makes you think he's not an adult?

To answer your question, Gorgon Heap, both songs do come from "Sesame Street".

The one where the bats attempt to go on strike because they never get to count anything. "If Moon Was Cookie"
