I wonder if Frank's characters really did start to get recast in 1997 like it says on Muppet Wiki (regarding Eric's characters). I first heard about the occasional recasts (which have become more frequent, in a way Frank's performances could be seen as occasional now) in 2001. Of course I first...

How does one determine when Frank stopped being a "regular performer" on the show? He began directing movies in the 1980s which had already limited his schedule (he points this out in 1989's An Evening with Jim Henson and Frank Oz), and the 1998 book Sesame Street Unpaved mentions that at the...

I doubt Twin Beaks was the last one. That's from season 22, and I'm pretty sure they continued making new Monsterpiece Theater segments during the late-1990s. Not sure if any debuted in 2000 or 2001. The last time a Monsterpiece Theater segment aired was in 2002, I think it was the "Guys and...

I found a segment that I've been wanting to see for quite awhile now, the one where Telly sells Kermit a head warmer. I now know what the headwarmer looks like! Interestingly, according to the upload date this was posted last year, but I could have sworn I searched "kermit and telly" a...

The first season "forwards and backwards" sketch, partially in english (the first half is in hebrew).

I was hoping that one of these would appear on Old School Volume 3 (maybe one will be on volume 4, though it'd likely be one of the later ones which aren't as good). I've seen four of the five known segments, and I prefer the earlier ones, which show backstage action (including a crew...

According to Muppet Wiki the swedish animation skits originated on the swedish co-production of Sesame Street.

I don't think there was an official break-up episode. In fact, in the book Street Gang, it says that Northern Calloway was upset that they didn't have Maria marry Luis, but the producers or whoever thought it'd be risky to have an interracial marriage on the show, especially since they already...

I feel they could have had a real orange fat cat play Garfield. Considering Garfield never moves his lips when he talks in the cartoons (well, aside from a gag in the "Mistakes Will Happen" episode) they wouldn't have had to worry about making the mouth move. But then they had Garfield move his...

It's interesting how in episode 1836, each performer except Caroll Spinney only gets one character each. Martin Robinson gets Snuffy, Brian Meehl gets Telly, and Richard Hunt gets Forgetful Jones, and none of their other characters make appearances. Given the current financial situation if this...

He can't shout "April Fools" if it wasn't announced on April Fools Day.

I doubt the majority of segments that teach the concept of surprise are just labled "surprise". Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd like to think that the segment talked about her would be labled something like "Cast Surprise Song" or "Surprise (with cast)" or something like that. The Muppet Wiki talk...

I don't think it's because it's not what Sesame Street is nowadays. After all, you could say that many of the episodes released on the Old School DVDs and iTunes "Sesame Street Classics" are not what Sesame Street is now and obviously those were released (I had wondered if the first two Old...

There's a few segments I've read about via fan memories but haven't seen any official sources that confirm them. If they exist, I want to see them (which would prove their existience, though I don't doubt they exist). Ernie looks out his window and sees Mr. Snuffleupagus, but when he tells Bert...

It sure has been a long time since Sesame Workshop last uploaded any classic clips, though some classic clips were replaced with different-quality versions (though I haven't noticed the different quality), in some cases the beginnings or endings were cut (and in some instances beginnings that...

To me, I'd also say that any song from the show where video footage hasn't surfaced in english but the song did appear on an album would be a holy grail (of course I know of some cases where the segments turned up in other languages and fans made their own english copies by replacing the audio...

I'm 99.9% certain that every episode still exists in full, which would mean this segment still exists. I recall reading a number of times long ago that Sesame Workshop has restored/remastered EVERY single episode a number of times over the years, even before Noggin started (and therefore when it...

Today I was watching the 1990s remake of Up and Down, and I noticed Cookie Monster's voice sounding a bit deeper than I'm used to Frank's Cookie Monster sounding.

That song, What I Am, is on two DVDs: Elmo's Music Magic and Singing with the Stars.

What I've been wondering is why do they call it Apple Jacks if it doesn't taste like.... Okay, just kidding there. Actually, I wonder, do online advertisers feel financially secure? From what I understand when it comes to sponsoring online video content the advertisers have to pay every time...
