It seems like, at least starting in the 1980s, episodes with old Herbert Birdsfoot sketches were few and far between. When I was younger (by younger, let's just say before I started middle school, which would be 1995) I only saw one episode with a Herbert Birdsfoot sketch (the one where he wants...

I don't ever remember seeing or hearing baout the skit, but it's probably Louise Gold. She is the only known left-handed performer, and she did perform on Sesame Street from 1991-1995. I've read that Terry Angus also performs with his left hand, though he's a right hander, but he never performed...

My guess would be that Jim Henson planned on reusing the puppet in some way (even if he didn't know how, exactly) and didn't want to be sued over the characters likeness.

I haven't intentionally turned any of your posts into arguments. I have looked at some of your posts that I've commented on, and most of my comments seemed helpful to me. I know that there were some posts I've commented on where I've asked about how you've known something that I've commented on...

By saying "The co-production aspects will undoubtedly focus mainly on new productions rather than producing DVDs of ood ones...", are you saying that you think that most of the newer DVDs will be mostly new material, as opposed to having inserts included with a newly-produced linking plot? It...

How do you know that he last appeared as a main character in season 2? He could have continued to be a character for later seasons. I know of three season one sketches with him: a sketch where Big Bird first met him (which is the only time that I know of where he interracted with Big Bird on...

And their bathroom keeps changing. Either they keep redecorating it (even going as far as moving the bathtub) or they have multiple bathrooms.

Actually, it was across the street from 123 Sesame Street. There was also an episode from season 24 where Savion went to the laundry room to do his laundry, and Big Bird and Snuffy both wanted to help him. However, the room was only big enough to fit two of them at a time, so Big Bird and...

I've read that every draft had a change in how Polly was portrayed. In one draft, it was a parrot named Robert Louis Stephensen, who regretted writing the book. Also, it was originally considered to have Gonzo play "Jim" and Rizzo play "Hawkins", before casting them as themselves portraying Jim...

Brian Muehl: 1978(?)-1984 (however, I've read that Brian Muehl was credited with performing Barkly in the 1987 special Big Bird in Japan, though Muehl had stopped performing on Sesame Street in 1984, and Fred Garbo Garver had already been performing Barkly, the earliest known proof of him...

Since the first set had ten or more bonus sketches for seasons 1, 3, and 5, but only around 6 or 7 sketches or seasons 2 and 4, I think that maybe the next set should have more bonus sketches for seasosn 2 and 4, and less for seasosn 1, 3, and 5 (I'd prefer for the number of bonus sketches to be...

Here is my review for Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, broadcast in 1978, first released on video by Random House in 1987, released on video by Sony Wonder in the late 1990s, and released on DVD in 2002. The video starts with the cast at an ice skating rink. The humans are all there, while...

I wonder how the order for the classic cuts were chosen. I guess randomly. There are several skits that I would have put in first and skits that I would have put in last. It doesn't really matter much, because I usually watch the classic cuts one at a time (depending on which ones I want to...

Here's a great indea.. If I was in charge, I would have Disney open up a Muppet theme park. It would have Muppet rides, attractions, walk-arounds, and gift shops. Clips from various Muppet productions would be shown on TV monitors while the guests wait to go on their rides. Maybe there could...

Many segments from the American Sesame Street were dubbed into different languages and included in many international versions of the show. But does anybody know if any segments that were originally produced for any of the non-u.s. versions were dubbed in english and shown in the american versions?

That listing isn't too disapointing. It would have been great if Don't Download This Song was included. It also would have been great if some concert-only songs were included. But it's not too bad. I have read a post at that message board that Jon "Bermuda" Swartz said somewhere that there most...

Was this the main plot of an episode, or just a segment (or possibly a two-part segment)? If it's a segment, then how do you know it was new and not just from an earlier season? If it was an episode plot, then it could have been a rerun from a few years earlier, with the episode number changed...

Well, first of all, back then, I figured that all of Jim Henson and Richard Hunts characters had been given new performers, even though I didn't see all of their characters in new productions. I also figured that Richard Hunt had died, but didn't see anything that specifically said he was dead...

Sesame Workshop probably didn't want to get complaints from the parent sof the shows fish audience, who would otherwise notice Wanda outside of water livign perfectly fine, and believing that the fish, too, could go on land without needing water.;)

I'd say when many of the supporting characters started being used less frequently. In season 33 it became really uncommon for many minor characters to make appearances, but that wasn't the season that put an end to the show having a big cast. I remember catching the show a few tiems in season...
