    What would you like on Sesame Street Old School Volume 1?

    I keep wonderign if future volumes will still focus exclusively on 1969-1974, or if they will expand on the years, or if they will focus on different years altogether. Other people have, too. Some people seem to be in favor of each set focusing on a different five years. If that was the...

    Vanishing Cream Beaker: The Story

    Chapter 7 Beaker got into Beauregards taxi and Beauregard took Beaker to the building where the investors discussed profits and other buisness-related stuff. "Bye, Beaker", said Bunsen. "Come back soon", said Seymour. "What's going on?", asked Bobo. "I hope that Beaker gets to...

    Lew Zeland's Fish Resturaunt

    Did anybody notice that this fan fic has references to both the fan fic that I wrote before this one, Haunted House Hams, and the one that I started after this, Vanishing Cream Beaker: The Story?

    characters who have appeared in full-body shots

    Let's have a thread about regular-sized Muppet characters who have appeared in full-body shots in productions, outside of merchandise and illustrations. This isn't counting full-body characters like Sweetums, rod muppets like The Bossmen, or animated/ computer-animated characters like Waldo C...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 37

    I know, but the letter sponsors (W,S, and E) were in a more random order, as opposed to alphabetical, while the number sponsors were in numerical order. I sense that this thread is getting off topic. Maybe we should start a new thread about the numbers 0, 1, 13-19, and 21-40.

    Vanishing Cream Beaker: The Story

    Chapter 6 Kermit still had his head stuck in the saxaphone. "Oh, good grief", thought Kermit, "Investors are comming over to see if they want to buy some stuff and I have this saxaphone stuck on my head." Rizzo and Pepe walked past Kermit. "Ha ha", said Rizzo, "I'm glad that I'm...

    Monsterpiece Theater Question

    I just watched Upstairs, Downstairs.... and I still don't know what sketch featured the introduction seen in a clip montage in Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting (which was a different room than usual). So I guess that introduction was from Me Claudius (for those who want to confirm, in the...

    Grover's First Sketch

    Actually, Grover first appeared in the first season, but he was gray green back then, and apparantly he was just a random, nameless monster. However, while I believe that I've read that he didn't seem to have much of a personality in the first season, I do know of three sketches where he his...

    average Monsterpiece Theater sketches per year

    Back when Monsterpiece Theater sketches were in production, does anybody know how many different skits would be made each year? I was just thinking about this subject. I've read that the series began in 1982 (though that could be wrong... and some have said that the first one seems to have been...

    Vanishing Cream Beaker: The Story

    Chapter 5 Everybody got ready for breakfast the next morning. Bunsen went to tell Kermit the bad news. "Kermit, I have some bad news", said Bunsen, "It turns out that the vanishing cream is water proof!" "Oh, no", said Kermit, "Beaker is still invisible." Beaker then walked by...

    Your Thoughts: Sesame Street Season 37

    I wonder why certain numbers were skipped. So you're saying that one didn't start sponsoring the show untill the 1980s? That would explain why so many recurring counting sketches (Pinball Number Count, Jazz, Country Fiddler, Number Painter) didn't have individual segments for one (though The...

    big bird puppeteering

    Don't quote me on this, but I think there are some wires inside the head that Spinney can put his fingers on to move the eyes. Or maybe they are remote controlled. I've read that Sweetums' eyes are remote controlled, and I've seen a picture once, but he never gets credited with having two...

    Vanishing Cream Beaker: The Story

    Chapter 4 It was time for the closing number. Kermit called into the intercom, "Monsters! On stage next!" The various monsters then came running, and they all bumped or tripped over Beaker, not being able to see him. "Oops! Sorry", said Sweetums. "What the...?", said Doglion...

    when did it start becomming common to remake songs?

    Rubber Duckie and C is for Cookie have both been remade a few times. In addition to the original Rubber Duckie, Little Richard sang a cover of it in the early 1990s, a newly-filmed version featuring kids taking baths while Ernie's recording plays as the soundtrack was filmed in the 1990s, and in...

    big bird puppeteering

    There is one person inside Big Bird, who wears a monitor on his chest to see what he is doing. There is also a small hole, covered by the feathers, that the performer looks out of to see what he is doing as well. The performer holds his right arm up into the head, and his left arm operates the...

    Chapter 3 The show had gone on. Statler and Waldorf were making really bad comments. "So, what do you hate the most out of what has been performed so far?", asked Waldorf. "Oh, I hate that bear, I hate that drummer, and I hate that cute bunny", said Statler, "But who I really hate the...

    when did it start becomming common to remake songs?

    I wonder why those new segments always use a jack-in-the-box. Why not do something new for each number? Maybe have somebody pull out a sheet of paper with one number on it, use a slot machine for another number, have the number of the day appear in a lottery-type situation (but there'd only be...
