    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    Were the muppets animated in the animated closing theme? Did any of the first season episodes shown on Noggin have ending credits? People keep saying that the closing credits used to onlyu be seen on episodes that were originally broadcast on fridays. However, I remember seeing the...

    Koozebanian Phoob appearances on TMS

    I've never noticed before that the phoob was in the audience during the first season. I wonder if he was created for anything before (or outside of) The Muppet Show. But as far as I know his interview in the Judy Collins episode was the first time he had a significant role (was it his only...

    guest stars who didn't close the show

    I would like to start a thread concerning guest stars who did not do a closing number or act on The Muppet Show. Here are the guest stars that I know of who weren't part of the final act: Juliet Prowse Florence Henderson (Happy Together would have been a good closing number) Harvey...

    Your Henson Priorities

    I just realized that there are some videos that I forgot to mention, such as Imagine That and Let's Make Music. I'll put both of those between Let's eat and Elmos World: Happy Holidays. I also forgot to list Quiet Time. I'll put that after Happy healthy Monsters.

    Celebrating Jerry Juhl

    That's sad It's too bad that Jerry Juhl died. At least he was able to work on the first season DVDs of both The Muppet Show and Fraggle Rock. I wonder if this news will be in any upcoming issues of any magazines (like TV Guide or Entertainment Weekly).

    The Return of the Dodos

    The under Elmos nose comment is a refference to the fact that kevin Clash is Elmos performer, and works underneath Elmo (which would be under Elmos nose).

    Boxed set of classic SS episodes -- coming soon??

    If you want to fantasize some more, you can read a thread I started in the Sesame Merchandise section, called "DVD Set Idea: Sesame Street Golden Collection". What I listed is a true wish list.

    which do you think will be finished first?

    Well, now that Season 1 has been released, I am convinced that the DVD sets will be finished first. This set only has a small nubmer of features. There was no room for the Jim Henson retrospective, The Muppet Valentine Show, or series premier insertials (whatever those are). The only feature...

    Left out of compilation tapes

    I wonder if there are enough dance scenes (besides At The dance) to fill a video themed around dancing?

    The Henson Connection

    According to the book Sesame Street Unpaved, the Sesame Street skit where Jim Carrey demonstrated happy feet and sad feet was originally written with Steve Martin in mind, but for some reason Steve Martin chose not to appear on Sesame Street (i'm not sure if he turned down a chance to be on the...

    debut years/ seasons of skits

    I would assume that all of the number painter skits were produced in the same year. Usually, whenever there is a recurring series of non-muppet films (especially ones involving letters or numbers) on Sesame Street, all segments are normally produced and aired in one year. After all, we know that...

    The Henson Connection

    Steve Martin first hosted Saturday Night Live during the secodn season, after the muppets had stopped appearing on the show. The muppets only appeared regularly during the first season. The last time the Gorch muppets appeared on SNL was in the secodn season premier, hosted by Lilly Thomlin. The...

    It was another father, not Miss Piggys. He said, "My daughter can gargyle gershwin to the tune of beethovens fifth." I didn't realize that this was supposed to be a refference to Angus. If you watch the video again, you will notice that when Miss Piggys father is talking to the advisor...

    DVD set idea: Sesame Street Golden Collection

    If the episodes where Slimey went to space lasted six weeks, then that would be around thirty episodes. Did all of those episodes focus on Slimeys trip to the moon, or were there also normal episodes that didn't involve Slimeys trip?
