    Grover's lecture on 'wet' and 'dry'

    That was very good. It seemed to me like a cross between the three-part sketch where Grover talked about the number two and the three-part Sesame Street News sketch where Kermit looked for somebody who was standing in a terrible snow storm for a long time.

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    I've read that you recieved storywriting credit on The Cosby Show episode Cliff's Nightmare, which featured the Muppets. Can you tell me what the process was like when writing that episode? I would like to know if it was meant to promote The Jim Henson Hour (which, like The Cosby Show, was...

    Sketches and Songs on Sesame Street videos

    I am a bit confused about what you mena by a new Steve Whitmire recording of Rubber Duckie interlaced with footage of kids bathing. Were the Ernie scenes made for this video? I know that there was a new version of Rubber Duckie made for the show in season 30, but the original Jim Henson audio...

    The ask Jim Lewis thread is now open

    I was actually wonderign that myself after Jim's response of not remembering the name of the Muppets Tonight band. I would expect/ hope that most writers would be allowed to keep their scripts. I expect that several copies of the scripts would be printed, and it would be odd if everybody who got...

    Snoop Doggs cut scene

    While reading about the scene, I couldn't really tell if Dr. Teeth or Janice spoke in the scene. I also couldn't tell from the description if Lips was in the scene (but I figure he probably wasn't, since he wasn't anywhere to be seen at all in the movie, not even in the orchestra pit, where a...

    Sketches and Songs on Sesame Street videos

    I recently read at Muppet Wiki that she was called Susan in the book release, but the video changes her name. Same with Slimey in The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. I think Maria's name was also changed for the video of Big Bird Brings Spring to Sesame Street, though in that same video, Mr...

    limits on outdated content

    I don't ever remember seeing any disco skits on the show. I always assumed that all disco skits were retired after disco died (even though the 1990 video Dance-Along featured ABC Disco). Now that I think of it, it seems to me like the majority of first season sketches that continued to be...

    Considering that Dave Goelz would normally give Zoot's scripted lines away to other characters whenever he could, it's interesting that Goelz would improvise a line for Zoot.

    Any info on Dinosaurs Seasons 3-4?

    Actually, I remember that episode much better than I remember the other camping episode (though there are other non-ABC episodes that I remember much better), and in my mind I was thinking it was that one. I don't think this episode is very memorable, with the only really funny scenes being the...

    Any info on Dinosaurs Seasons 3-4?

    So the two episodes with audio commentary are Nature Calls and Into the Woods. Somehow I expected Nature Calls to be one of them, but why Into the Woods? I don't really remember that episode (though there were two woods episodes from the last two seasons... is this the one where Earl, Roy, and...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    That info comes from Sesame Street Unpaved. I also saw Up on the Rooftop and That Grouchy Face on You Tube, and I am wondering if all of James Taylors numbers were filmed on the same day. It looks to me like James Taylor wore the same blue shirt in all three of his numbers, and both of the...

    Old School Vol. 2 idea thread

    I might be ahead of myself, but I thought I'd add what classic cuts I'd like for seasons 11-20. Season 11: Born to Add Believe in Yourself Cookie Monster (in voice-over) talks to a baby eating a cookie Sesame Street News: The Princess and the Cookie Me Lost Me Cookie at the Disco...

    Snoop Doggs cut scene

    I know. Wo cares if Snoop Dogg was starting porn at the time? Having a big scene with The Electric Mayhem (where they talk, as opposed to their silent riverdancers scene) is much more important.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Recently at Muppet Wiki I had asked a question about wether anybody besides Roscoe Orman voiced Hard Head Henry Harris. While nobody could realy tell, a link to the Roosevelt Franklin sketch about poision was posted on Hard Head Henry Harris' talk page, and there I founf video clips of all three...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    It seems to me like Sweetums' scene there was a bit unneccessary. If Gonzo's car hadn't landed on top of the studebaker, they wouldn't have needed to trade in the cars. Kermit and Fozzie could have easily just met Gonzo and Camilla, invited them to come along, and the studebaker could have...

    Sweetums in TMM and GMC

    It's been awhile since I last read the Tough Pigs anthology on an early draft of the script, but I recall it pointing out that the only significant difference in that scene betweeen the script and the filmed version is the fact that in the script, Sweetums dipped his finger in oil (or maybe...

    Okay, time for another question... Whenever you or the other writers work on a one-time project with the cast of The Muppet Show, like a special or movie (I would only count a few one-time guest apearances on other TV shows, like the Muppets appearance on The Cosby Show), do you and the...
