    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Too bad it doesn't include the original (I wonder if Sesame Workshop has some kind of issues with paying residuals to the actor who played Miguel, as I don't think Sesame Workshop has released any clips with him) or the other season two version, but it is a nice little video. Has a few rare...

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

    It does make me wonder if he would have had the same problem if he called for an appointment to see something that the archives already has.

    The "You know what?" thread

    Recently I downloaded Super Mario Bros. 3 on the WiiU, and noticed some levels are quite harder than I remembered when playing about seven years ago. And some of the levels I've always declared the hardest are a little easier for me now (I've been better at exploiting certain secrets and stuff...

    TV Tropes

    Sometimes I'll edit something and get a notification of something I did wrong within a day. And I keep wondering, if they're notifying me of grammar/formatting mistakes, why don't they correct it in addition to informing me of what I did?

    You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

    I think I've also noticed that. Haven't really watched the show in the last few years. It also seems like the cold opens on a lot of shows are long. I've seen the beginning of some drama shows my parents watch, and noticed that the title and credits don't seem to occur until about ten minutes in.

    Little things we've noticed

    Oh. That does make more sense in terms of using a different performer. And when I was looking at the wiki page, at first I mistakenly thought Tesse was the one performed by Richard Hunt (which would make sense as David Rudman would eventually take over some of Richards characters).

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Although the first season guides have been completed, I've seen that the Muppet Wiki guides for episodes 43 and 83 still do not list where all the known Noggin edits occur in the episode (or any unknown cuts). I know that the CTW Archives program guides note that those guides are printed...

    Little things we've noticed

    Looking at Muppet Wiki's guide for Twiddlebugs sketches, which lists "first appearance" for all the sketches (I wonder if that's a mistake and any are EKA, but I trust it's all first appearances), and I've found another Jim Henson performance that first aired in season 21: The Twiddlebugs share...

    Episode info from trusted sources

    After I posted about the day care episode not actually being in season one I saw in the sandbox page for unidentified episodes that somebody added info that it's not in any of the wiki's first season guides that are now complete, also saw it point out that Spinney referred to Jeff Moss as the...

    The Kids Are Alright

    I watched the first episode, but haven't really had time to watch more and haven't felt like watching more episodes online. The episode I saw was decent. I hope to get motivated into at least watching more of the episodes online soon. I usually like sitcoms that take place in past decades.

    Episode info from trusted sources

    Every episode from season one now has a full guide. Interestingly, there's one episode from the first season I've read about that I can't find in any of the guides. In Caroll Spinney's book, he says that there was a script in the first season where Big Bird wanted to go to day care, and made a...

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    Interestingly, when I first learned info on episodes 2-5, that was the one that I most wanted to see for its plot. It was high on my wishlist of street stories. I've been thinking about posting a list in the "top ten anything" thread on episodes I learned about from the "trusted sources" (not...

    Little things we've noticed

    Thinking more about Jim Henson's last Sesame Street segments... The heavy and light game is one of the only times when Ernie initiates a game and Bert is actually excited about playing one of Ernie's games at the start. Nobody really knew that Jim Henson wouldn't have much time left (though...

    The Official Top 10 Anything...

    Top ten official Sesame Street 50th anniversary “collection” videos I’d like to see on YouTube: 10. A “People in Your Neighborhood” collection, perhaps showing an hour or more of various different segments 9. A collection of segments produced but never aired on the show 8. A collection...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    I just found a plot description for Awesome Alphabet Collection, it sounds like it will contain new linking footage. Though technically it doesn't say if there'll be clips from the show or if all the segments are created for the DVD, but there will be focus on each letter.

    Sesame Street Episode 847 with Margaret Hamilton

    At first when I saw that color image I thought somebody just computer colorized the existing black and white photo which is similar (which I don't think Muppet Wiki would allow if it was altered).

    Early (pre-Kevin Clash) Elmo appearances (Brian Muehl and Richard Hunt)

    Thinking more about how Elmo had a name and personality in street scenes during those early years but was treated more like a generic monster in inserts, it seems like the same could be said about Maurice Monster. There's a handful of episodes where a Maurice Monster is involved in the plot...

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    Not only am I happy, but I am happy that they uploaded a Miami Mice segment period, when Sesame Workshop previously hasn't officially uploaded any of them online before or put any on DVD (it's unfortunate Miami Mice was mentioned in press releases for the Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! DVDs when...

    Sesame Workshop/Shout! Factory Deal

    Yeah, those were presented in fullframe instead of widescreen (it is interesting that they continue to release the fullframe versions). If they're hesitant about releasing things where some is presented in widescreen and some in fullframe, it'd be great if they could at least put more fullframe...

    Sesame Street Season 50 News and Rumors

    After learning so many first appearances via Muppet Wiki's "trusted sources", I wondered if the years would be that valuable, but there are a few where I didn't know the date. That Miami Mice was listed with 1986 (I know the one with Kermit was taped during the 1985-1986 season, not sure if they...
