    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    It is a fan-made poll (a collaboration between Toughpigs and The Muppet Mindset),so I don't think the results would really result in too much. Then again, one of them does work for Sesame Workshop, I don't doubt he'd consider showing the big results to the right person. I've seen that you can...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    Just to outdo the quiz, I decided to make a YouTube video of myself naming as many Muppets as I could think of in under five minutes, going by the basic rules of the quiz (mainly "Disney-owned Muppets") but otherwise having no limit. I did start feeling stuck/forgetful towards the last few...

    The Muppet Mindset

    The Muppet Mindset and Tough Pigs have teamed up to do a fan poll for Sesame Street's 50th anniversary. https://muppetmindset.wordpress.com/2019/04/08/somebody-come-and-poll/

    Little things we've noticed

    For years, I was thinking that once the celebrity versions of Put Down the Duckie and Monster in the Mirror were introduced that they stopped showing the original versions without celebrities. But looking at "what links here" on the Muppet Wiki, I see that the non-celebrity version of Put Down...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    I got Ma Bear when trying to type Mahna Mahna.

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    I think the hints get dropped in the same order (I'll have to click and just keep track of the hints) regardless. Two answers are Foo-Foo and Foozie. Whenever I try to type Foozie, it suddenly accepts "Foo-Foo", even though I never actually thought to list Foo-Foo in the quiz (I was surprised...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    Hints occur after they've been given, like "don't forget the electric mayhem" (when all six members are among the first 10-14 I list). Reminds me of a time I made my own game, similar to Outburst, where I list things and people had to guess. I remember making a "name Muppets"-type card, I...

    Quiz: Can You Name At Least 60 Muppets Before Time Runs Out?

    It is rather awkward. I played the quiz on my phone a few times. Auto-correct kept making incorrect changes on some of the names I listed, yet I saw "spelling error red lines" under things that should have easily been corrected (like when typing Uncle Deadly as "Uncle Deadley", a spelling I keep...

    Bring Your Own Can Night

    I just found out yesterday that the next episode, 1554, is a continuation, with Oscar having to cooperate with Luis in order to have the cast leave the can after a night there. I never thought they'd actually show them leaving, I figured it'd just be a given that they would leave, unseen. I...

    Little things we've noticed

    For a while I've noticed that Sesame Workshop doesn't seem to release much on video or online when it comes to Jim Henson's segments from season 21, but I'm starting to think that when it comes to seasons 20-24, not many from each recurring Muppet segment is available on home video or...

    April Fools: Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments coming to DVD in August

    One thing I considered listing as a bonus feature was uncensored outtakes. Among them, in possibly "too far territory", I would have mentioned video footage of a stage light crashing on the set and a spark setting Big Bird's leg on fire (an often-told story, until planning this I never thought...

    April Fools: Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments coming to DVD in August

    I wonder if we've seen the last of an official home video/online release of The Electric Company (well, there are plenty of segments without him, he was only in the first season). Though as far as I know, Old School Vol. 1 hasn't been recalled and episodes with him haven't been removed or edited...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    I know that the CTW Archives program guides are written and put out before the final edits of the episodes, but I've found another instance where something I was intrigued by in the program guide ended up not appearing in the final aired version: The script for episode 1441 mentioned a segment...

    April Fools: Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments coming to DVD in August

    I don't think those are really considered controversial (aside from confusion). Maybe if it were titled "Sesame Rarities Collection" I'd have listed some (though my intent was to imply it has some rare segments that might not be particularly controversial as much as they failed at testing...

    The "You know what?" thread

    In another thread, there was some talk about April Fools Day being killed a bit because so many people expect April Fools jokes and posts these days. Which gets me thinking something I've occasionally had on my mind in the last few years: would it be better if, instead of celebrating April...

    April Fools: Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments coming to DVD in August

    It was a toss-up between this idea for a concept I had ended up bringing up in the 50th anniversary thread that would be similar to "Best of Friends" but would focus on the Muppets who have been on the show since the first season. As I was writing this, I almost considered using the term...

    April Fools: Happytime Murders 2 rumoured to be in development

    As much as I knew this was a joke, I'd say that if STX/Henson were willing and able to make a sequel in spite of the disastrous box office performance (and risk losing money on a sequel to a movie that lost money), then that would be awesome (as long as the companies could survive if it flops...

    Shout! just posted on their Facebook page that their first real collectors-marketed Sesame Street release is coming in August, and is called "Sesame Street's Most Controversial Moments". The post: We at Shout! Factory are pleased to announce the release of our first Sesame Street DVD to be...

    April Fools: Henson Performers Series books coming soon

    It's been announced that there will be a new series of books called "Henson Performers Series", focusing on Muppet performers other than Jim Henson. From the press release by Ballentine Books: "Over the years, there have been many biographical books on Jim Henson, Muppet performer and...

    American Archive of Public Broadcasting to preserve nearly 4,500 Sesame Street episodes

    I was going to play along and "mistakenly" think you meant they'd all be online by the end of today.
