    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    It is interesting that some of the reportedly lost episodes are at the AAPB now. I wonder if the museum managed to get copies or if Sesame Workshop ended up finding copies/having them after all (like with episode 1814 which was reportedly lost but assumed to be a database error). I've seen a few...

    Questions about anything

    So what's with the scene from Austin Powers where Austin thinks Basil's mother is a man in disguise? We get a '60s scene where he can tell a man in drag is actually a man, so I guess Austin mistaking Basil's mother for a man in drag somehow reflects the difference between the 1960s and 1990s...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    Well, I heard in a Facebook group that all surviving episodes (even episode 847) are there now. I looked a little at the site and see early episodes from seasons 1 and 2 listed. I've also heard that some of the believed to be lost episodes are there.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Somebody on one of the Sesame Street Facebook groups said that the entirety of Sesame Street is available at the AAPB, including some of the lost episodes. I searched a bit and saw that episode 401 is there (I should find the post and see what others are on the site). I also saw that episode 847...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I rented a digital copy of Potty Time Plus and added a full content rundown on the wiki. I had not seen Elmo's Potty Time before, so it was interesting. I'd say the video is just okay (even if Frank Oz performed Grover in new content here). Have any of the segments been used on the show? The...

    Questions about anything

    So in Back to the Future Part III, Marty and Doc are able to get into a drive-in movie theater during day hours so Marty can travel back in 1885 with unlikely risk of wrecking anything in the past. So in 1955, could a person just go into a drive-in during daytime hours, when the place would...

    Are Bert, Ernie, and Snuffleupagus still on Sesame Street?

    Just because he doesn't appear anymore doesn't mean he's "imaginary". I'm sure he'll be back once the pandemic is over and it's okay for two people to be inside a large suit. Lately there has been a lot of animated Sesame Street content, maybe he'll appear in animated form someday.

    Kermit Counts See and Say

    I was thinking about the Kermit Counts See 'n Say, and I was wondering, are those the actual Muppet performers voices or sound-alikes? Listening to this video, they kind of sound like the performers and kind of sound different, but that could be due to the sound quality. It came out in 1990...

    The "You know what?" thread

    Between the opening short in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and the three Roger Rabbit shorts that followed, Tummy Trouble is the only one where we see how the short was supposed to end. In the movie, we see the short until Roger gets his "lines" wrong, and in the other, on-set accidents happen before...

    Dinosaurs shorter opening

    I thought in syndication that all episodes have the season three opening, including season 1.

    Little things we've noticed

    Hopefully when you or any wiki contributor goes next - and I am not sure how far a drive it is for any of you (I used to think that The University of Maryland was a close enough drive for Danny to visit fairly regularly, as opposed to it being more of a one-time trip) - we'll learn details of...

    Little things we've noticed

    A few things I wondered about regarding some edits sourced from the Tony Geiss papers... So two videos that have some new info on the wiki because of it are A Celebration of Me, Grover! and The Best of Kermit on Sesame Street. Are the segment listings in the scripts for the videos written...

    The trailer for Potty Time Plus! is online. Sesame Street: Potty Time PLUS! Getting Ready With Elmo (2022) - Official Trailer - YouTube So it'll have the celebrity version of Rubber Duckie (just as I suspected), and something with Nina putting Elmo to bed (the season 47 premier?), and an...

    Little things we've noticed

    Can't wait. I've been clicking on "what links here" on the Yale page quite a bit (and been excited when I see you've made additions to certain Sesame things Tony Geiss worked on).

    Little things we've noticed

    I have been liking the recently-uncovered info on Don't Eat the Pictures. I wonder if the original plan, to find Snuffleupagus stuff, would have been better. I am at a loss over that scripted scene where they see a resting Snuffleupagus but think it's something from the museum. That original...

    Dinosaurs shorter opening

    Here is something I remember, which doesn't occur on the DVDs. I used to have them taped off TV, though I don't think I have the tapes anymore (and I forget which episodes have this). But I am remembering that sometimes, the opening would be shorter (like how The Simpson's opening is often...

    Questions about anything

    Do television shows still do clip shows? I don't think I've ever seen any clip show episodes in the era of high definition television. Though it seems more common now for shows to start with a recap of previous episodes, showing clips from many past episodes to show things that the next...

    The "You know what?" thread

    One thing that has been on my mind, and I think I talked about it here before (either in this thread, the questions about anything thread, or the "what's the deal" thread), in the old days of television, most shows seemed to have just one episode for each holiday (especially Christmas), if they...
