I thought the movie parodies compilation was scheduled for tomorrow, not today. Interesting to see Monsterpiece Theater: Chariots of Fur with reshot wrap-arounds. Years ago I thought I saw it listed in a late-1990s guide but after all the 1990s episodes became complete I clicked "what links...

I wouldn't consider that a movie parody since it involved the actual character (on that same note the episodes with C3PO and R2D2 are not Star Wars parodies). Then again, the celebrity song parodies video included a bit of Stevie Wonder singing "Superstition" which isn't a parody, either.

I was also scared of the 39 Stairs... But I was really just scared by the ending, mainly when Grover talked from off-screen. Don't know why I was scared by that. I don't remember seeing Upstairs Downstairs as a kid (though its last airing did come after I was born and after I started remembering...

Last night I dreamt that I commented on a social media comment from Brian Henson, he replied to what I said, and then I got a friend request from Brian Henson. But then when I accepted, the name changed from "Brian Henson" to something like "Brianhenson impersonator" (I could be wrong in the...

That's why it's a wishlist! Joe has mentioned that there's going to be some rare stuff, we don't exactly know how many rarities or what he means as rarities, but with this upcoming release, when thinking up a wishlist, I often don't think of many that are that rare. Ignoring what street...

As I kept thinking and rethinking a wishlist, in addition to including what has been confirmed in articles, I thought, instead of posting a straightforward wishlist, I'll post a basic outline of what I usually think/wish for this set. Most repeats from other sets have either already been...

To think, there are other franchises where the fandoms have somebody to interact with who has been involved with DVD releases. Okay, so right now I can only think of that for classic animation releases, with Jerry Beck and the late Earl Kress being people who have been involved with a lot of...

In 101 Dalmatians, does Cruella de Ville really need to make a dalmatian-furred coat from all those puppies? Wouldn't a few big dogs do just fine (not to mention she'd need less if they were full grown)? Also, was she just trying to make the fur coat for herself to wear or was she trying to...

I'm pretty sure that I recently saw it in a guide, I'm thinking for either season 12 or 13, but I'm searching the wiki and can't find it. I've searched the wiki pages for B and letter segments and can't find it there, typed "Letters Make Words" with no results, also searched "sesame street...

Recently Muppet Wiki started a sandbox page on uncredited performers, and last night I dreamt that the wiki's forum had a big discussion on the topic.

I decided to compare the run time to the 40 Years of Sunny Days release, which was five hours also (disc 1 was 180 minutes, which I think totals three hours), while this release is five hours. As usual, I keep thinking up my own wishlist in addition to what's been confirmed. Oddly, I haven't...

I've heard that as well. It came nine years after the characters introduction, eight years after Hunt started performing him, and so unfortunate that he only had a few more years after. At least he didn't hand the character off to another performer like he did with Elmo.

That was an old lawsuit I was actually thinking about. Additionally, Jay Ward had plans to produce a Bullwinkle special spoofing the Super Bowl, but when somebody decided to ask permission from the NFL (I thought only Weird Al Yankovic had the decency to ask for permission to do parodies), they...

On the "top ten anything" thread, I posted lists of both the top ten segments I most hope don't get repeated from the Old School/40 Years of Sunny Days releases as well as the top ten segments on those releases I would most not mind getting again on this set...

Was there a time when people could sue over parody? Seems like people used to sue and now parody is protected by law. I've read that either the owners of the Beatles music or their lawyers sent Dr. Demento cease and detist letters over playing a few Beatles parodies, including Weird Al...

If you click on the images at Muppet Wiki and "what links here", you can see all a listing of all episodes containing the segment, in order. If it appears in an episode after season 23, you can find the last episode of the domestic Sesame Street that it appears in (and if it's last appearance is...

When it comes to the upcoming Sesame Street: 50 Years and Counting DVD set, in terms of the fact that Joe Hennes said that there'll be some crossover with the three Old School sets and 40 Years of Sunny Days.... Here's my list of top ten segments that appeared in any of those that I would be...

I used to think that the hot air balloon sequence in The Great Muppet Caper was done on an indoor set, with the wideshots being a miniature, and thought that the "Hey, a Movie!" number was done outdoors in a real city street. And yet it's the other way around. Also, on the Moving Right Along...

One thing I've realized is that while one press release confirms Ladybug Picnic, that doesn't mean it's the original. Of course it probably is - the article refers to it as a classic, though the article writer could have been informed of the songs inclusion without knowing it was remade and...

Maybe this would be better for another thread, but considering the talk of them cutting the number of episodes down to 65 in season 30, perhaps also combined with putting Elmo's World in the last 15 minutes, I wonder if they ended up doing more segments than they thought they could do. It seems...
