    Bert's Pigeon Bernice?

    At the end of the special Don't Eat The Pictures: Sesame Street At The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we see a close-up of a pigeon and hear Bert say, "Go home, Berniece". So I guess we see Berniece there, even though the pigeon seen could have been a different pigeon from the one Bert was talkign...

    appearances by the Gogolala Jubilee Jugband

    There was one mistake in the muppet morsels in the Muppet Show season 1 DVD set. In the morsels for one of their segments, it was said that the muppet versions of Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and Jerry Nelson occassionally appeared with them, but the only one of those muppets who ever appeared...

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    Brian Meehle did perform Barkly in Big Bird In China. The credits say so. Besides, this special was made in 1983, a year before Brian Meehle stopped performing on Sesame Street. Fred Garbo took over after that, and then Bruce Connelly eventually took over the role sometime in the early 1990s.

    Big Bird in China or Japan?

    Barkly wasn't in Don't Eat The Pictures. It was Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus who help the ghost of an egyptian boy. It seems like in this thread people keep mistaking oen character from another. First somebody mistook Farley for barkly, and now somebody mistook barkly for Snuffy.

    The Return of the Dodos

    "Shut Up" was actually said by Sam Sleaze in Follow That Bird. After the Sleaze brothers got pulled over by the cop, and it seemed like they would probably be going to jail (or at least court), Sid started crying, the state trooper said "be a man!", Sid said "I don't wanna be a man", and Sam...

    I have only seen Big Bird In China. I haven't even seen a copy of the recent re-release in any stores (whether on video or DVD). I also haven't even found any DVD copies of Big Bird In China (just the newer video release).
