    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    That's likely, but I'm sure someone can answer that more definitively than I can. I only remember seeing that segment once, and it scared the heck out of me. I don't remember ever seeing it again -- but decades later when Noggin was running some of the old shows, it popped up in a "123 Sesame...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I think this is about the only thing that genuinely scared me, and I've never forgotten it.

    Early Sesame Street was strange...

    What was great about the early Sesame Street the years I watched it (roughly the first six years or so) is a parent could watch it with a kid and both could be entertained. There were jokes and references for the adults which kids wouldn't necessarily get. When I got the Noggin channel and...

    "Cranapple" commercial with Will Lee

    Thank you, don't mind if I do. It's actually good stuff.

    Why did Sesame Street Season 2 have 145 episodes?

    This is something that's always puzzled me. The second season was the only time Sesame Street had three extra weeks' worth of shows. For Season 1, there was exactly enough time to cycle through all 130 shows twice (they actually aired more than twice if you figure in two showings per weekday and...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    Thank you! Silly question: How do I access the file page? (EDIT: I tried searching File: followed by the file name. Seems to work.)

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    Thank you, I'll try that. Wow. I know I have all the Unpaved shows, but while I recorded a lot of 123s, I didn't succeed in getting all of them. I transferred all the Unpaveds to DVD-R years ago but didn't bother with the 123s so I guess it's back to the tapes if I can dig them out. I do...

    Index of shows where a segment appeared

    First, I want to say thank you to whoever maintains the wealth of information at the Muppet Wikia site. I appreciate all the info about the various scenes, Muppet segments and animated clips, where they first appeared or when their earliest "known" appearance was, etc. I was trying to find a...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    One thing I didn't even realize until a few days ago -- and I only just saw the clip after reading about it for years -- although people often bemoan how they didn't "deal with" Mr. Calloway's real-life death like they did for Mr. Hooper -- at the time the episode aired where it was explained...

    "Lost" Cast Member: Panchito Gomez as Antonio

    Could be. And it might have been years before I was even aware of it.

    "Lost" Cast Member: Panchito Gomez as Antonio

    I don't remember. It was quite some time ago. All I remember is I couldn't access the old one.

    "Cranapple" commercial with Will Lee

    Anyone here remember this? I remembered seeing him pushing the cart and recognizing him as the guy who plays Mr. Hooper. I have looked for this on You Tube before, never found it until now. (Of course, I haven't looked consistently every day.) You never know what you'll find out there...

    Segments that were possibly taped on the same day

    Thanks for that link. Looking at it, I just noticed it says show #1736 was taped 11/29/1982. I wonder when the very last scenes of Will Lee as Mr. Hooper were taped. It puzzled me at the time why it took them nearly a year to address his death on the show. Of course, I wasn't thinking about the...

    Hi, dvakman! Here I am, had to re-register with a different name, I forget why. Maybe didn't remember my password or something.

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Hi there -- I have read through this thread and found it interesting, even though this was probably past my time watching the show (I'm 51). I have no new into info to add regarding the episode in question, but just a comment regarding the references to episodes only being aired twice and then...

    Roosevelt Franklin question

    Can someone sort a few things out for me regarding Roosevelt Franklin: Matt Robinson continued to perform Roosevelt for a time after he stopped playing Gordon, right? Roscoe Orman voiced Hardhead Henry Harris, is that correct? And Orman definitely worked with Robinson, at least on these...
