And that wouldn't surprise me either!

I am not positive, but I found listings like that for another (unrelated) show I like and in that case, they definitely were vintage TV Guide descriptions, which I personally remembered. That doesn't mean these necessarily are, though. (I do remember the TV Guide listings for the early seasons...

I happened to stumble on this and thought it might be of interest -- apparently the actual descriptions from TV Guide listings of the day: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/sesame-street/episodes-season-1/100390/

I might have asked about this some time before, but I don't remember what (if any) response I would have gotten. I have a vague memory of a skit involving Mr. Hooper and (I think) Bob which featured an announcer's voice (my memory is that it sounded like an imitation of Howard Cosell) saying...

I don't understand that either. All it does is muddy the waters if one is doing a search on You Tube for a specific thing. You get all kinds of "hits" and a bunch of them end up being the exact same post of the same thing duplicated. I don't undertstand the reasoning behind that. As far as...

This is great, I'm glad so much info is coming together. Years ago Noggin ran a short clip from Sesame Street of Big Bird singing "Somebody Come And Play" which otherwise didn't appear in a show. I only saw it once and fortunately happened to catch it on VHS. Going through the stuff I recorded...

That depends on whatever contracts were signed at the time. Unfortunately, the lawyers end up having to sort that out. It is very cool, though, that (1) they maintained an archive all those years -- who would have thought? -- and (2) technology is in place to make it searchable like that...

This is kind of why it really surprised me to see the vintage shows on Noggin. For instance, in the 20 And Still Counting special, as far as I remember there was not a single pre-1980s clip of a "street scene." There was mention of Mr. Hooper's death and clips from that famous scene, but no real...

I have read about this scene -- it's the "post-roll" ending of the Ernie & Bert skit, "the world's greatest counter of numbers." I just did a cursory web search and couldn't find it -- no big surprise, I guess. So what was the deal with this? Did this ever air? I really want to see it! I note...

I tried scanning them, but it just isn't working out. They are too huge and fragile. First issue covers shows #1-24 (odd that it doesn't finish the week). Well...we know which segment of show #1 was considered the most important. (Funny, I recently watched the DVD and fast forwarded through...

It's an old article, I think from circa 1999 or so. When I read it, it kind of surprised me that they kept an archive of shows, since prior to the Noggin channel, it seemed they never reran older shows. But I think I've read that they did repeat some in some other countries. I'm glad some...

I'd like to know if they have a list of every segment used in other seasons like they have for the first season. In looking it over, seems to be for a practical purpose -- I could be wrong, but it seems like a reference for repeating segments, which tapes they would need to pull to find them...

Thanks, this is great stuff. I note how the articles hype and promote the Electric Company's new season, and buried in the article they admit that it's all reruns! Hey, I have some early parent-teacher guides from the first season. They are big huge sheets folded up IIRC -- they would be a pain...

Okay, there's no need to panic. Just because someone hasn't surfaced as an adult after having made a few TV appearances as a child (and was otherwise not a public figure), that doesn't mean she's dead! Well, it doesn't mean she's not, either. I did find this (scroll down to entry #52)...

There are lots of references to her on the internet, and almost all of them just refer to that one clip, with no further biographical information.

I've looked around, but no leads so far.

Speaking of Mr. Hooper's death...I just looked at that show again and at the top of the show we see Gordon coming out of Big Bird's residence with kind of a troubled look on his face for a few seconds, just before he meets Forgetful Jones. I wonder if that's when Big Bird was first told...

It is a great clip, one of the all time great moments. One other scene in the special I thought was really cool. It was a segment about major life events, with clips of Miles' adoption, Maria and Luis's wedding, birth of Gabriela and they had just played the clip of Big Bird being told about Mr...

Hello. I was just watching the Sesame Street 20th anniversary special (20 And Still Counting) the other night -- I hadn't really sat down and watched the whole thing since it originally aired. Anyway, they included a few of those "Muppet and kid moments" and in a couple cases (Herry and...

Greetings. I was a member under a different user name here a number of years ago, but could not access my old account. I have occasionally "lurked," but signed up again tonight. I was a viewer of Sesame Street pretty much from the beginning (I was just at the right age when it went on the air...
