    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Yet another awesome-sounding episode - Oscar is tasked with finding a winner for the Grouch of the Year Award. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2081

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    This episode looks cool, a blackout on Sesame Street: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2072 Interestingly, it has the Ernie and Bert blackout sketch, where Oscar seems to be bothered by getting a call about it, but a later street scene shows Oscar liking the blackout.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Somehow, I missed the fact that a guide for episode 2099 has been on the wiki for over a week. https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2099 There's also a guide for episode 2100 (but not images of all the scenes), so the first week of season 17 is fully guided. I wondered if the whole week...

    Opinion: Disney should purchase "Fraggle Rock"

    A few things about that post are incorrect. Disney never owned the rights to Fraggle Rock, Jim Henson's deal to sell the Muppets fell through so Disney didn't own the company from 1991-1997 (they did have the home video rights during those years, though - maybe that's where the confusion...

    Little things we've noticed

    In the last day I've been watching some YouTube videos of people reading some of the books inspired by Follow That Bird, including Count All the Way to Sesame Street, and one of the only FTB-inspired books I couldn't find such reading videos of is Big Bird Visits the Dodos, but I saw a few...

    Little things we've noticed

    Haven't really paid attention to how many more season 16 episodes need pages on the wiki, but of the three humans to start believing in Snuffy that season - Gordon, Maria, and Linda - Gordon seems to be the one most enthusiastic about seeing that Snuffy is real. There's an episode where...

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Episode 2042 - in which Oscar meets Mr. Snuffleupagus! https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_2042 This is an interesting episode. Gordon plans to wait by Oscar's can to meet Snuffy, Oscar wants him away and tries to trick him, and when Gordon reluctantly leaves for a moment, Snuffy shows...

    Pa Gorg antagonistic towards the Fraggles

    While Junior Gorg was often antagonistic to the Fraggles (usually by keeping them out of the garden or wanting them as a pet, sometimes having violent motives) and Ma Gorg was afraid of the Fraggles (in a similar way to housewives being afraid of mice), Pa Gorg rarely seemed to really dislike or...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I've recently seen that Trash Outta Heaven has appeared in at least two episodes (and the second known appearance isn't a street story repeat). Cool to officially know that the segment was indeed an insert and not just a street scene meant to only air once.

    Little things we've noticed

    Is it just me, or does it seem like, around season 10, when they started to get more performers to be on the Sesame Street set on a full-time basis, a lot of the newly-introduced characters were primarily used in street scenes and rarely in inserts? A lot of characters during this era were only...

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Thinking about how at least four Monsterpiece Theater intros were changed, I've been thinking it was season 23, but I wonder if I am wrong. I remember years ago, the Muppet Wiki page for the season 23 premiere had a note about that broadcast of Gone with the Wind, a note that was later...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    Listening to the song, I feel like I'm listening to Brak from Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and The Brak Show.

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    Looking at the numbers I posted, I'd like to show my work. Now in some of the segments, Frank is probably just doing the voice, and some might have been produced in one season but broadcast the next. Season 20 - 16 As Bert: Ernie counts zero fruits, Cave Person Days: Inventing the Window...

    Frank Oz's appearances throughout his later seasons

    There was mention that season 17 might be the first season without any new Frank Oz material, but is there any firsthand evidence that Jim, Frank, Jerry, and Richard did any new material during the period when season 12 was in production? Of course there was a lot of newly-broadcast material...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    I wonder if she would have forgotten working with Jim on the show. If it stood out to her that they didn't work together, should the memory of him working with her just once stand out in her memory (and they did work together on other productions)? And if her memory is correct, then it is sad...

    RIP Regis Philbin

    These days, Toughpigs tends to do articles on the death of pretty much every celebrity who has worked with the Muppets before. It said in that article that Regis Philbin holds the world record for appearing in the most hours of television. I wonder how that could really be proven (and does...

    Kermit in Sesame Street merchandise

    Another thing interesting is that when Palisades Toys put out the Muppet figures, they initially were not allowed to make a reporter Kermit because it was more associated with Sesame Street, and eventually were allowed as long as he wore his hat (and I can't remember if Planet Koozebane...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    I don't think I'm as good as identifying performer movements as other people here and at Toughpigs (though I have speculated some things), but I did feel there was something familiar about that keyboardists movements. I did start wondering if maybe Come Join Us was shot in season 11 and held...

    Anyone remember the "Join Us" song?

    Wow, a season 12 segment with four Muppets, clearly four performers, and the trusted documents the wiki has been using to track performers in various segments only lists three performers - Brian Meehl, Michael Earl, and Karen Prell. I've heard that those docs aren't complete, but I wonder who...
