I've seen an old article from when Sesame Workshop was making digital copies of all its episodes, it was said that whenever a new video format was introduced, they'd convert their old copies to that format. Makes me wonder when they started making new copies of episodes to preserve them. Of...

Something I thought might be worth talking about (though with it's list-like nature might be limiting): Character recasts whose previous performers performances continued to air on the show after the recasts. I'm not talking ones that have been released on home video (whether it's a release for...

I must have missed it.

I think the best chances of the episodes being found is through raw footage than the other possibilities. Of course it doesn’t look like there’s many inserts that only appear in these (and they probably have separate copies of the inserts, outside of the episode master tapes). I was going to...

Has the wiki uncovered the original near and far with Grover in English yet? For years a number of sites have mentioned that Jim Henson performed Grover in that one, I've seen it mentioned on the wiki (can't remember whether I put in that info, back in the days when unofficial sites were...

Really? Because there are a lot of debuts that haven’t been seen in years. Sesame Workshop hasn’t put out the debuts of Uncle Wally, Mr. Handford, Buffy, Biff and Sully, Gina, Placedo Flamingo, Barkley, or Irvine.

Wow, most of those lost episodes come from the second and third seasons (I counted 20 from season 2, 30 from season 3). And so many back-to-back (or close enough to it) episodes. at first I thought it looked like none of the lost episodes are particularly notable, but then I noticed some that...

There's a lot of first season segments that, before the wiki got trusted sources and video copies, were only available in other languages, many of them I've had trouble keeping track as to whether the wiki has English copies. But I'd like to chime in that most Professor Hastings segments are...

Last night I dreamt I walked into a store and saw a new line of Muppet action figures, without knowing there was a new figure line. The toys looked a little taller than the Palisades toys, and the only accessories included was a head of the character, some of the having separate pieces to put...

There's the one where Sherlock Hemlock solves the mystery of who took Ernie's cookies (obviously, it was Cookie Monster). And there's The Leslie Mostly Show segments with Cookie Monster and Kermit the Frog as guests. Lefty the Salesman selling Herry Monster a bag (I think, I've seen an...

That seems to be the case with quite a few segments. Especially some season 11 segments. Sometimes I wonder if there should be a wiki page for segments known to have been taped during one season but held over a year or later.

Last night I dreamt that one of the two Toughpigs webmasters put out a special book on Jim Henson, done in response to a book or article that was very wrong (with portions of that book reprinted in this book), which had physical copies of various articles from Tough Pigs, The Muppet Mindset, and...

Many segments about family tend to be about their similarities, or show same and different. Most established characters have family that looks like them in a costume. Normally when we meet a female relative of a male character, it looks like them in drag, but we don't get many male relatives of...

I thought I did bring them up (mentioning the facts on the PVC cards being the same as on the beans tags). There was a commercial for the beans that aired a lot (too bad it;s not on YouTube, at least since the last I searched), with Elmo, Herry, and a Honker. I was excited to see Herry in the...

Episode 657 is themed around scariness, the Wicked Witch episode is episode 847... Must be something about episode numbers ending with the number 7. One of my first thoughts: If they were to do a DVD themed around classic scary moments, episodes 657 and 847 would be great ones to include.

One of my new favorite classic songs (meaning I hadn't really heard it until recently) is "A Sibling" from the episode where Jeff Goldblum plays Bob's brother Minneapolis. But I'm noticing something odd about Minneapolis' parts that I can't quite pinpoint. Is he singing bad? I don't think...

I suspected Big Bob was Guy Smiley, it's always good to see confirmation on something I suspected. I wasn't expecting Billy Monster to be Grover (my guess was Scudge, who is used as his mother). Of course I was certain that the Billy Monster in this was not the same monster who was named...

Not a guide with pictures from every segment, but the wiki now has images from the first Answer Lady segment (in episode 112). Clicking on the picture, there's only one episode listed under "what links here", so I don't know if they just wanted to put the picture there before the rest of the...

Amazon lists the DVD release run time as 75 minutes. So either that's incorrect, or it will have some sort of bonus features. Or maybe the DVD will be expanded. Great to finally see some footage.... and yet no clips in the promo, just new footage.

I wish I'd remembered that one. I feel this is the kind of thing I would remember if I saw it, and I basically watched Nickelodeon all the time back then. I don't remember too many Muppet Show promos on the channel. Of course I have seen one on YouTube (not the one mentioned in this thread) that...
