    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    It's weird, I don't think anything had to be replaced on Noggin due to rights (but I guess if there were any copyright issues, they could just include them among the edits for time).

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    I think some Joe Raposo tunes were still on the set. I'm pretty sure he did "Everybody Run" and "What's It Like to Be in School" (it's clearly his voice on the songs, at least), and I think he wrote "Disco Frog".

    HBO is editing modern Sesame Street episodes

    I've looked at the guides on Muppet Wiki, the ones that note what's been cut, and it seems like they've also been cutting a lot of segments that teach Spanish. The Spanish Word of the Day tends to be cut from episodes that had it, I also recall seeing that one episode that focused on teaching...

    Questions about anything

    A lot of times, if I'm editing a video taken from a memory card on Windows Movie Maker and I make angle cuts, it seems like it'll automatically cut off parts that I didn't cut. If I cut the beginning of something and delete it, part of what I cut sometimes still appears (I'll then clip it and...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Lately, I've realized that in the short Duck Dodgers and the 24 1/2th Century, Marvin the Martian is really just a designated villain, as opposed to being a true villain as usual. In most shorts, he's clearly a villain, planning to blow up the Earth or kidnap an earthling for study, but here...

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I feel like heavy metal is that way. Seems like it's hard to tell whether a heavy metal song is from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and beyond. Heavy metal songs from the 1970s seem to lack the groovy quality of the decade, heavy metal songs from the '80s seem to lack the sweet sound of songs from the...

    Happy 30th anniversary, Follow That Bird

    I've noticed that in the end credits, there are about five or six people listed under "stunt performers". Aside from Big Bird jumping from a moving truck, what else would have required stunt performing? I assume a stunt double filled in for Gordon when Big Bird jumped to his car, and it is known...

    Questions about anything

    Is there a title for the kind of stories people tell where a group of people get together and each takes turns telling a story, continuing from where the last person left off? This storytelling activity was done in the Muppet Babies episode Once Upon an Egg Timer, as well as one of the Homestar...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    I saw that today. It actually looks like a cool release. Actually, most of this years releases have been rather great (I haven't purchased Sing It, Elmo!, but I would be interested in owning that one). So I guess it's really focused on magic, not so much on monsters. It's great to know that...

    Your Thoughts: Electric Mayhem at Outside Lands Music Festival Sunday August 7, 2016

    It was great. I really liked the drawings of the band that appear in the closing song. It was weird that, for the most part, Lips is absent from the video segments (he does pop up briefly in the "how we met" segment, but I feel he should have been in the van with the rest of the band). I...

    The "You know what?" thread

    I can't remember if I knew about that one or not. Your mention of it doesn't ring a bell, yet I feel slightly aware now (maybe I'm trying to be aware/remember if I knew).

    The "You know what?" thread

    I've recently noticed that in the 1970s it was very common for live-action television shows to get animated series based on them, and in the 1980s and 1990s, the animated television adaptions seemed to be replaced by animated shows based on live-action movies. And it seems like the animated...

    Questions about anything

    Does anybody happen to know why Saturday morning shows tend to get small seasons compared to prime time shows? It seems like the average Saturday morning show gets 13 episodes in its initial season, and less in later seasons (maybe 13 each year, maybe a little more each year). Is there an...

    Wow, it's been a week and we still don't have any further info on the Monster Magic DVD. No info on what to expect in the main program (street stories? full episodes? a compilation? completely new material? A street story with additional linking material and inserts, like Elmo's Super Numbers...
