    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    I wondered if episodes from the early 1990s (and earlier than that) had altered reruns. I guess it is possible (there is a sandbox page listing script inconsistencies, makes me wonder if some cases were just the wiki people having copies of altered reruns). It's been said that Alphabet Polka...

    I guess that's helpful for segments that only aired when the scripts noted first appearance episode numbers as opposed to season. I recall when the wiki first got info on Leslie Mostly's interview with Kermit, that had a detailed description (and I don't think any of us had video footage...

    Little things we've noticed

    I was surprised when I learned that the episode scripts usually transcribe Muppet inserts in their first appearances. I figured those would be their own separate scripts and they would just be listed in all scripts (including their first). Then I thought they wrote them as separate scripts which...

    Are those street shots sometimes cut from episodes? I saw on Scott's wiki page "to do list" a long time ago he noted scripts being inconsistent with the run time on "Imagination", I'm guessing various episodes shortened the segment a bit and the scripts reflected that (with the longest noted run...

    A question on the great Radish Famine

    I never noticed a lack of Fraggle involvement and also don’t really remember “listen up and listen right” very much (especially not the wording).

    I had watched the street closely to see if that's how it looked in 1972 or 1986, but it is really hard there. Does it also start with that exterior shot that appears at the beginning on the tape? Seems like an odd way to transition to a segment or open a segment.

    One thing I have been wondering about: when it aired on the show, did it end with all the balloons coming down outside of the street or was that just on Bedtime Stories and Songs? The only YouTube uploads I have seen have been taken from the video.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Sometimes, it seems like live audiences laugh at things that don’t sound intentionally funny (which could be due to the laughter signal for the live audience). Like in the film Gilda Live, during her “Goodbye to Saccharine” number, she says a few things that the audience laughs at, I don’t...

    Dreams about Muppets

    Last night, I dreamt that I was working on a Muppet Babies fan fiction that included cartoon characters from other franchises at different moments (back in 2008, I had actually considered doing a Muppet Babies/cartoon all-stars fan fic, which would have been a more heavy crossover than whatI...

    Wow. I guess that’s the first time I couldn’t identify his voice, he usually uses the same voice for all his characters (though his normal speaking voice is different enough). Then again, he could have used other voices that I couldn’t identify. How would I know (well, try the wiki…)?

    I heard that interview sometime in the last year, linked from a Toughpigs thread. I did notice he sounded a bit like the Alphabeat he did. I remember back when I didn't have much access to Little Jerry and the Monotones, I assumed that was Richard Hunt doing Big Jeffie's lines in With Every...

    I was watching that one a few nights ago, and noticed that the pumpkin member doesn't get any vocals (while a non-member also sings with them).

    If they wanted to bring back Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats, I think Noel MacNeil should perform the lavender member. His voice sounds similar to many of his other characters. Maybe also if they wanted to bring back Big Jeffie, I'm not entirely sure (I think his voice is a little deeper than...

    A few weeks ago, somebody uploaded episode 2042 (and it was taken down within a day or two). And there are some things I noticed. gordon planned to meet Snuffy, but it seems like he set himself up to miss him as usual. With more characters believing in Snuffy, it seems like it should have been...

    New Sesame Street documentary based on "Street Gang" to premiere in April 2021

    I’m surprised I still haven’t talked about this. I was surprised to actually see a copy of the DVD at Walmart not long after it was released. It is a great documentary. Part of me wishes it did go a little more into the 1990s to today, but it is great to have so much classic focus - with very...

    When the book Street Gang came out, a year later we got the 40th anniversary book. More recently, we got the documentary film Street Gang, and around the time of its broadcast, we got that 50th anniversary special on ABC. Yet the 40th anniversary book is the better of the two books, but...

    Normally I don't have a particular desire for an instrumental version of a Sesame Street song, but after listening to the song a few times this past week, I really wish the backing track for Things That I Remember was available. The music sounds so great. Additionally, Things That I Remember...

    Recently, it has come to my attention that What's My Letter? only aired in one episode (one that has not surfaced to fans and the wiki has not yet fully guided it with pictures). I remember seeing it on YouTube back in 2006, before Sesame Workshop started officially uploading clips online (and...

    In the few times Little Jerry and the Monotones appeared after the 1970s, regardless of whether it’s all the same regular members or if there’s somebody who wasn’t part of the group before, it seems they always wanted the group to consist of three members instead of four. The Rock & Roll video...
