But Philip...Warrick tells me there are some versions of Raposo songs (not the lesser-known ones, but ones like the SS theme, "Bein' Green," and "Sing") that are sung by Raposo himself. They are not on any commercial album, so if you have them...where did you find them.
No, actually, it was taped in 1989 or early 1990...the "official" listed airdate is 1/11/90, but Nick at Nite's site says it was pushed back until the next season, and had a dedication of Jim Henson put at the end of the episode.

The Demented Cartoon Movie (beware, it's half an hour long!)...
And to think we're not getting a similar Muppet just because a bunch of conservative Republican politicians complained about "gay Muppets who got AIDS from sex"...sad, ain't it?
Here is something I'm looking for: A clean, complete version of the Sesame Street theme song harmonica instrumental (without anybody talking over it; no "Sesame Street has been brought to you today by..." or "Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop"). I love this...
