I had some misconceptions about The Muppet Show, before I saw any actual episodes and only saw the compilation videos. For example, all of the compilation videos I had seen (both the Playhouse Videos and It's the Muppets!) listed the main eight performers from the later seasons and no other...

Two of Sesame Street's most celebrated songwriters are Joe Raposo and Jeff Moss. They have written several of the shows best songs. Many of their songs are known even by casual fans. But which of today's songwriters would you say are the modern equivielent to Joe and Jeff?

Some of this past decades best segments include: 1234 with Feist A Cookie is a Sometimes Food The First Time Me Eat Cookie What I Am with Will.I.Am Super K Cereal Outrageous Makeover: Home Addition I Wonder Don't Know Y with Nora Jones I Like My Hair

I wonder if maybe Carol Spinney didn't want to be interviewed. Though he was intervied in that behind-the-scenes footage obviously shot in the 1980s that was included in the 40th anniversary DVD. I'm convinced a Sesame Street documentary was planned in the early 1980s, though I don't know for sure.

I wonder if Dr. Teeth and Floyd are really too different from each other. Both are cool characters, both enjoy things that are hip and groovy, both act like leaders (Dr. Teeth has his name in the band title and does most of the lead singing, while Floyd interacts more with characters outside the...

The 1999 documentary on Jim Henson that aired as part of CNN's "People Profile" series has been uploaded in four parts on YouTube. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXVDYuaARa4 Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jSMXfJkbXw&feature=related Part 3...

Today is Exercise Day with Oscar. Makes me wish the site would add that segment mentioned in the 40th anniversary book, where Oscar jogs in central park.

Somebody uploaded the CNN People Profiles documentary on Jim Henson. Here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXVDYuaARa4 Also uploaded was Children's Songs and Stories with the Muppets in six parts.. Here's part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN71cfp6F7c&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL...

Looking at that list of kids shows on PBS, I've just got to say that it wouldn't be a big loss of kids didn't get to see Barney and Friends. ;)

Thinking some more about how fans would think if a new version of My Pollywog Ways (or This Frog, though it hadn't been brought up) were recorded with a different frog (Muppet or otherwise), I wonder what the fan reaction would be if Sesame Street introduced a new frog character, basically a...

The 40th anniversary DVD lists it as being from season 11 (the 1979-1980 season). I wonder if those sketches really were originally aired without logos, or if they were just cut for time on Noggin.

It's comments like this that make me wish the forum had a "Like" button.

I've been thinking that the Little Red Riding Hood sketch was from the late-1970s (season 10 or 11), but now that I look closer at Kermit, I think that one might be from the early 1980s after all. Watching it at sesamestreet.org, I thought that was one of the late-1970s Kermit puppets, with...

I was thinking, how about a DVD of the various multi-part Ernie and Bert sketches, with other segments between them? A good line-up: Ernie's Barber Shop, part 1 Long Time No See Ernie's Barber Shop, part 2 I'm Going to Get My Hair Cut Ernie's Barber Shop, part 3 Geometry of Circles...

Here's an entry which mentions that Henson planned on a theme park in 1988, a year before he considered selling the company to Disney: http://www.henson.com/jimsredbook/2011/02/25/2251988/ If Henson did go through on a theme park, I wonder if they would have been allowed to include anything...

At the end of The Great Muppet Caper, when the Muppets are on the airplane before being thrown off, I noticed that Lips is sitting with a generic rat, while Rizzo is in the other side of the room. Considering Steve Whitmire performed both Lips and Rizzo, it's a wonder they didn't have those two...

As Oscarfan said, there'd be no problem with Sesame Workshop airing the segment, though it's been years since anything from the 1970s was shown in a new episode. But I wonder if fans would see it as blasphemy if they made a new version sung by a different frog character.

Something just hit me: The original Imagination sketch was supposed to begin with animated monsters scaring Ernie, but test audiences were more interested in the monsters than the message of the song, so it was reshot to the verison that aired. Makes me wonder if This Frog was a similar...

For those of you who haven't seen these sketches, here's This Frog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAv75mTimRc And here's My Pollywog Ways: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67XSt4SwnbE
