Makes me wonder if they thought the intro was too long and decided to just shorten it before completely dropping it. Though starting that way is a rather awkward edit as well. I wonder if some of the edited segments as presented on the site were edited that way on the show at some point. I...

I wonder if that unicycle man cameo was what Caroll Spinney talked about in an “I Am Big Bird” bonus feature where he discussed appearing in magician attire (which could have been the other cameo we know about or could have been this).

Okay. I started wondering if that was likely. I don’t think many would rent so many at once (especially not if it’s more runtime than the return date).

Back in the days of video rentals, were there limits on how many videos and video games could be rented at a time (like, if a person had enough money, could they rent 40 videos in one weekend)?

So recently in the classic clips on YouTube thread we were talking a little bit about the two Chrissy's (of the Alphabeats and Monotones) and how the writers most likely didn't care too much about consistency/minutia on such minor characters back then. But it seems they were a little...

I don't think it was about him living with his parents, I'm thinking more that he seemed to be treated like a child over what his siblings did. I should probably watch that again to see what he actually said. And I did ask that, knowing that Ernie and Bert live together without parents but...

While watching Wet Paint recently, I only now notice that the keyboard player plays the instrument with his nose. And the keyboard player is a human AM, not a cow. I guess they were trying to make him cow-like.

I thought it was odd, with Gina being the fan of Little Jerry, that they'd have Big Jeffy and Chrissy competing to be Gina's prom date, as she's such a fan of Little Jerry and would probably rather be his date. But I guess you could say that she's a big fan of the group but really had the crush...

Recently when I watched the episode where Hooper's Store re-opens, at the end we just see Biff and Sully before Biff calls for Stella. And this was kind of done in "This Song's For the Birds", when Biff doesn't realize at first that Stella isn't there and he has to call for her. I wonder if that...

Just watched the episode with Elmo filling in for Little Jerry. I had previously thought it was odd. Little Jerry wasn't really appearing often at the time, and the group was rarely referred to by name in their old inserts. With Little Chrissy (the one of Little Chrissy and the Alphabeats)...

Gina had better luck meeting her hero a few seasons earlier. But then again, I don’t think she wanted to sing with the band (even if she does sing better than Mike).

I could actually go for another release of Wet Paint (though most preferably with the SMV intro). Considering how uncommon it is these days for classic clips to be released on home video, maybe we shouldn't complain about the quality too much. Of course when things become rarer to come to...

And if they converted standard definition clips to high definition for a release only available in standard definition (and I do not know if that’s the case with the pre-HD clips or not, though I haven’t really noticed any interlacing on the set), then I guess it’ll look worse. I got that one...

Yeah, that one looked great on the release (though I feel there's some interlacing or something in Billy Idle's eye movements at the beginning).

I hope the main program doesn't include any of those made for YouTube videos as part of the main program, though I can't think of any off-hand that involves counting (well, "Can You Telly How to Get to a Billion Views" and "Counting the Yous in YouTube", but I can't see those used as main...

And now I wonder if part of that (for Muppet Musicians of Bremen) was a style choice, to primarily use non-Muppet performers as the voices, maybe so they wouldn't all sound too familiar to Sesame Street's audiences. I don't know how many Canadian talent they needed, and Bremen did not have any...

And during the early years, it was common for the human cast to do Muppet voices from time to time. But they were a regular part of the show, I guess Jim didn't want to hire performers to just provide voices of the puppets (but Sokol was a special case). The Frog Prince and Muppet Musicians of...

The next Sesame Street release is Cool Counting Collection, a number-themed follow-up to Awesome Alphabet Collection (and it has better alliteration!). It's interesting, the initial press release for Awesome Alphabet Collection mentioned a mix of classic and newer clips, while the wording for...

I didn't think that each of the main seven would have to be together that frequently. But since season 46, when they limited the main cast to Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, Cookie, Grover, Abby, and Rosita, have there been many street stories that equally involve all seven of them? Even with seven...

When they reduced the characters to a core seven (with the rest being more secondary now), Oscar was one of the "main seven". Now he's only been in a few new episodes this season? They must have dropped the core focus further.
