    Do de Rubber duck

    I just read on Muppet Wiki that Noel MacNeal performed Oscar in this number. I'm a little surprised Carol Spinney wasn't there for the taping (I guess that means he doesn't have home movie footage of that that can be used in I Am Big Bird). The first non-vocal performer we hear that was involved...

    The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Thread!

    I've been thinking about the various pre-Paramount Home Video releases of Peanuts specials. There is a great Peanuts animation guide which mentions video releases but doesn't seem to talk much about the VHS releases from before the Paramount days (though I'v found that the Peanuts Wiki has...

    Old School Sesame Street Live (1980-1999)

    I just watched the whole thing, this time with the volume up all the way so I could hear better. There's that sequence where they are all wondering who's missing. While I knew it was Big Bird, I just wanted to say that more than one someone is missing: Biff, Sully, Don Music, Forgetful...

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Thread

    I recently found some comic book reprints at a book store. I considered buying one but didn't. But I would have if any of them included the very first comic book story arc. So does anybody know if there are any reprints of the first Turtles storyarc in print?

    What was the purpose of the episode numbers?

    If the number was indeed shown for the purposes of the parenting guide, then I guess continuation of it after the guides ended (I've read that they stopped doing the parent guides after season 12, either that or the CTW Archives only has guides up to then) is what TV Tropes would call "the...

    Muppet Vinylmation series 3?

    For some reason I thought Walter was already announced as one of the regular figures.

    "The Muppets" early script draft

    This script didn't have the Moopets. I'm not a big fan of those characters. Aside from Miss Poogy none of them were developed well, their names only appear on a poster and dressing room doors (Miss Poogy's name isn't even spoken on-screen). I don't think it was too neccessary for Miss Piggy to...

    Original script for Muppets From Space questions

    Actually The Muppet Movie was directed by James Frawley, who hasn't worked with the Muppets before or since.

    Call to all Little Jerry and the Monotones fans

    Besides this and Consider Yourself, what other known segments are there where one of the adults decorates a faceless AM?

    What was the purpose of the episode numbers?

    I have wondered this recently as well. But at least it allows us fans to know what number applies to each episode (except for season seven, but Muppet Wiki has info on every season 7 episode thanks to program guides from the CTW Archives). I also wonder what the purpose was of only including...

    Why does everyone hate Doug???

    I thought this thread would be a great one to point out this blog I found a few weeks ago: http://www.dougfunniesjournal.blogspot.com/ It includes entries on every episode of the Nickelodeon series and a few of the Disney series.

    Speculation: Sesame Street 45th Anniversary Possibilities

    I've been thinking a bit more about my idea for multiple two-disc anniversary collections. This might sound a bit "out there", but how about four collections: A random selection of clips that mostly hadn't been released on video, a random selection of clips that have been released on video...

    Has Herry been retired?

    This thread suddenly gets me wondering... When's the last time Sesame Street introduced a lot of new characters? In the last decade it seems that the only new recurring characters we've gotten have been Murray (in season 36, and even then it took a few years before he became a main character)...

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    I have occasionally saw a little of some reality shows, mainly because other people in the house were watching them and I couldn't avoid them. The only reality show that I actually watched, and liked, was Meet the Marks (or was it Meet the Marx?), which seems to be the only reality show that was...

    Popular Shows that You Hate

    Is it okay to list shows we hate that we've never actually watched? Because I could list the majority of reality television and anime.

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

    In the Hey Arnold episode "False Alarm", Arnold manages to prove that Eugene couldn't have pulled down the fire alarm because of the Wacky Land (or was it Wanky Land? Can't remember, for the rest of this post I'll just call it Wacky Land) pencil, since he was banned from Wacky Land for...

    SST 2.0: The Grammar Club

    Enjoy this outline for Sesame Street 2.0, the Sesame series aimed at adults (which was originally an April fools announcement I made on the forums)! Scene 1 A monster overhears Cookie Monster and Elmo having a conversation and notices how Elmo uses "Elmo" instead of "I" or "me", and...

    Question about Dinosaurs episode

    There's only one sequence in the video that shows clips from various episodes. The episode Charlene's Flat World has a similar gag where she stands in front of a lamp post Earl is putting together, and as soon as she gets an idea, the light bulb lights up (as if it's there because she got an...

    Warner Home Video now distributing Sesame Workshop DVDs

    Muppet Wiki has a picture of the cover and description for C is for Cooking. Just as I suspected, Elmo's Magic Cookbook will be a bonus feature. Interestingly, it says that the video has "over two hours of fun, including the bonus adventure Elmo's Magic Cookbook!" I wonder if that means the main...

    Biff and Sully: Construction Workers?

    I had no idea that they worked with Maria in the episode (episodes?) where she was a construction worker. I don't think Muppet Wiki has a page for that episode. Was Maria a construction worker for more than one episode? It seems there are interviews where Sonia Manzano talks about the...
