    Henson Rarities on Youtube

    I was watching some of the Henson Rarities upload of The Secrets of the Muppets, and noticed that it's a different edit from what I've seen over the years (the Nickelodeon edit, which is also on YouTube). This edit has fades to black in different spots (some of which I had suspected), and a few...

    Old Nickelodeon

    After looking at Cartoon Express on wikipedia, I saw that it actually did last a long time. From 1982-1996. Though it didn't have many original cartoons (which I barely remembered). But the majority of that block's time was before Nicktoons were introduced. Nickelodeon did air a lot of...

    Old Nickelodeon

    I didn't realse they were trying to make it like Muppet Babies then, those guys for a Long time (after the show's original run but before the introduction of Dil) I noticed quite a bit of similarities to Muppet Babies (like having fraternal twins, both shows have "cardboard box TV episodes" due...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Also, Emilio Degardo said on Facebook that he did not know about the HBO deal until the general public did.

    Playhouse Muppet Videos

    I found the inside cover to Muppet Treasures, which says that Fozzie auditioned 53 times before he was hired. It's similar to the inside cover fact in Muppet Moments, where it says that Fozzie waited weeks before he could get an audition.

    Old Nickelodeon

    I just found this old promo about the early Nicktoons. I don't remember seeing it before (this would have aired just before if not at the time I had gotten cable). It provides a funny "take THAT" at USA's Cartoon Express. I had forgotten about that (how many people remember Cartoon...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Well, I assume this means more original street stories, as opposed to a season of mostly new street stories and a small portion of recycled street stories from two seasons ago. We wouldn't get two street stories per hour-long episode (back in the pre-2002 days, there were occasionally episodes...

    That doesn't mean we'll get an answer.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    One thing I've thought about: Sometimes, there'll be a major tragedy that inspires Sesame Workshop to do episodes to help the kids deal with those kinds of issues (whether it be 9/11 or a hurricane). I feel like maybe they should have made a deal where if there was a need to make such an episode...

    Purple Chili

    I just realised something crucial I forgot to specifically mention: The yellow line they are following is a line made of light. Chapter 9 Rizzo the Rat and Uncle Deadly followed the yellow line, seeing a red line, a blue line, and a black line, then they finally found the green light...

    Purple Chili

    Chapter 8 Uncle Deadly and Rizzo walked down a long hallway. "How much longer do we have to walk down this hallway?", asked Rizzo. "Until pigs fly", said Deadly. A herd of pigs then flew past them. "Okay, we go through that opening in the wall", said Deadly. The wall appeared to have no...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Does Sesamstraat have a similar format to the current American Sesame Street, or is it more like the pre-2002 format?

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Oh, the way you said it ("they've only made three Muppet-centric number bits (not involving The Count)"), I thought you meant that there's only three Muppet number bits in widescreen and that The Count wasn't in any of them.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I didn't think they would give them up completely, just post less clips before they are broadcast. At least if Sesame Street is going to have first-run episodes on a channel other than PBS, it's a commercial-free channel (are the various preschool channels commercial-free?).

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Actually, I have seen some number segments with The Count that were in widescreen. There's the one where Oscar tells The Count that the number of the day is zero, as well as the "By Five" song with Train. Not many, but it's some.

    Sesame Place Book

    This week Tough Pigs is having a series of articles about Sesame Place, some of them written by this books author! Now I wish there was a book on the history of Sesame Street Live. That show is just as old as Sesame Place.

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    Moving to HBO sounds odd, because I don't associate it as a children's/family channel. The channel did broadcast Fraggle Rock during its original run, but has HBO had any other hit children's series? Does the channel currently have any shows for children (the press release mentions there will be...

    Purple Chili

    Chapter 7 "I'm the real Uncle Deadly", said one of the Uncle Deadly's (the one who showed up behind Rizzo). "No, I am the real Uncle Deadly", said the other one. "You were never the real Uncle Deadly", said the first one. "Okay, I'll ask a question only the real one would know"...

    Sesame Street shrinks to 30 minutes, new shows will premiere on HBO and PBS nine months later

    I wonder if there'll be more DVD releases of full episodes now that it's going to always be a half-hour. In the past few years we've gotten DVD releases of two full hour-long episodes each, but now I wouldn't be surprised if there will be DVDs with four half-hour episodes (and I never wondered...
