While I haven't watched much of the show since the move to HBO, I feel like they didn't really cut back on celebrity appearances. Seems they still have those as often as before (aside from dropping the daily Word of the Day segments).

Does Piri's name appear in the credits? Since the fans didn't know it was Piri instead of Petey, I assume the credits would have spelled it as Petey. I think the wiki had the actors name credited (which I forget off-hand), if so that would have come from something that would list his character...

If only they'd release the Playhouse Video compilations, Children's Songs and Stories has Friendship, The Gnu, and scenes from the Brooke Shields episode (I wonder if they'd need to renegotiate those, considering they had cleared the rights for the original home video releases).

One thing I thought about is that Disney just didn't want to confirm the reason to Toughpigs while they did confirm the lack of Brooke Shields is music rights issues. They could have lied and said both were due to music rights, how would the fans be able to check on that (they didn't even say...

Looking at the Muppet Wiki page on Tee Collins, the main body of the article mentions an "X-xylophone" segment he did, with a quote saying "it was hard coming up with a happy word for the letter X" (and now the link it's sourced from no longer works). But then there's a gallery of his segments...

I dreamt I was watching a stage production of The Frog Prince, and it was a bit extended from the special. As I woke up this morning I thought I could even detail the whole thing from start to finish, but now I'm starting to forget some. But there were three instances where Robin went to the...

Watching all those street scenes with Don Music, it seems he didn't bang on the head that often in street scenes as he did in the sketches with Kermit. I thought about asking "geeze, did he ever bang his head on the piano in the street scenes?" But I see that he did in his last appearance (which...

In that one with Bob, Susan, and Telly, when Don introduces himself at the beginning ("They call me Mr. Music. Why? Well, because that's my name. Don Music to be exact. And by coincidence I happen to play music, sing music, and write music") should have been his debut appearance, but it came...

I saw the YouTube comments later.

I was slightly thrown off. It said "1972 street scenes" and I mistakenly thought it was street scenes from the year 1972. It is kind of distinctive when episode numbers match years that the show has been on the air.

I watched the show when it was originally on. I don't think I knew anyone else who really watched it (well, I think it was on at 8 in the morning, not sure how likely others are up that early.... I wonder how I got up that early, as I didn't use an alarm clock and don't remember asking my...

Watching the scenes from episode 1875, with Snuffy buying pants and having to pay, I wonder, who saw him pay? Somebody at the store must have seen him pay for the pants. Maybe they were too busy to see who was buying what, or maybe they actually had a Snuffleupagus employed (I was actually...

One thing I like about Monkey Business is that it's one of the few to feature them all (whether Zeppo is included or not) as a group from start to finish. Most of them begin with Chico and Harpo as a duo who meet and join Groucho later on, with Groucho and Zeppo being a separate duo (if Zeppo is...

This is How I'm Made is interesting. I saw it only aired in one episode, I wonder what is wrong with it. I can't really decide if it's really great or just ordinary. With so many segments it could probably be hard to air everything every season, but until season 29 it would have been possible to...

Top ten Marx Brothers films (and these are the only Marx Brothers films I have seen so far, some only once): 1. Monkey Business 2. Duck Soup 3. The Big Store 4. A Night at the Opera 5. Horse Feathers 6. Go West 7. Room Service 8. Animal Crackers 9. The Coconuts 10. One Night in...

I forgot to add that pretty much all of the songs on the first Sesame Street album were rerecorded, even if they had the same characters and performers. Some songs had completely different singers. So for the album, they most likely replaced the hippie Anything Muppets with monsters (the...

While there is a picture from the original Up and Down, taken from the book Sesame Street Book of Puzzlers, there’s not yet a screenshot of the AMs singing the bulk of the song. And actually, as I look at the pages for both episode 60 and “Up and Down”, that image is no longer on either page.

Aside from the lost episodes, is there any evidence that they have skipped any episodes (the website shows what all is available)?

I have had the Marx Brothers on my mind quite a bit lately, been watching several of the movies as well as having recently subscribed to the Marx Brothers Council podcast. One thing I've been thinking about, that was discussed on the podcast at least, is that Chico Marx gets discussed and...

This reminds me a little of how sesamestreet.org seemed to stop adding new classic clips in 2010, with the exception of a brief period in 2011 where they added a lot of classic clips, many of them rare clips with rare characters (including the first time many of us got to hear Aristotle's voice...
