    PBS updates daytime TV lineup for students learning at home during COVID-19 crisis

    I believe many, if not all, PBS stations have kind of reoriented their schedules to accommodate the stay-at-home-ness. So certain shows are now at certain times of the day because that's when that particular age group would be watching or something along those lines.

    Episodes that may have to be cancelled, or wouldn't be appropriate to show in these times

    I mean, by that logic, they all shouldn't air because they involve the characters hanging out outside their homes at all times.

    Mr. Hooper's Last episode

    No episodes were taped that week, according to our documents. We don't really have dates for inserts taped back then, so...maybe? But it doesn't seem likely. That was Thanksgiving week that year, so if they weren't shooting any episodes that week, I'd imagine they had the week off and did the...

    Mr. Hooper's Last episode

    Episode 1790 appears to be the last one he participated in, taped on November 17, 1982.

    Little things we've noticed

    No. There's a photo or two on the Wiki that were in one of the tie-in books, though.

    Little things we've noticed

    No, him getting run over by Telly before he can is a running gag. There was a deleted scene where they tried escaping the jail by swiping the keys, but Cookie eats them.

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    There have been a few in the last few years that are just the newest characters, but it feels like an oddity still. (You also couldn't do an episode like that now because it has actual jokes in it.)

    Unearthing previously "lost" Sesame Street episodes

    Another funny Joey Mazzarino-penned episode: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Episode_3623 It's so crazy to me that this and 3220 have only the "Around the Corner" characters.

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    I believe it was originally mentioned in the book her family first appeared in.

    Sesame Street Special "Elmo's Playdate"

    My one wish was that there was more Ernie and Bert (and Prairie). But that was cute for what it was.

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    ...Sesame Street also fits that description and it managed to be one of the funniest shows around.

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    Furry Arms was a funny conceit and a lot of really funny stuff happened there, fer sure. But I can see what some felt it was weird having a high-class hotel on a seemingly inner-city street. Furchester was a nice way of expanding on that idea, but it was nowhere near as funny.

    Sesame Street classic clips on YouTube

    It really stems from watching enough of whatever main characters they do - you can see the different ways each performer works, and they you're able to notice the same movements in other characters.

    It looks like the main four to me, or least three of them (Jim is the Pumpkin guy, Richard is Lavender, and Jerry is Fat Blue. Frank maybe the Green.).

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5022 - The Disappoint-O-Meter

    I'm would wager given his smaller role in the street story (and the photo evidence), he did Big Bird. Nothing of Caroll's was used in the final mix. On tonight's MOMI stream, Stephanie theorized (probably correctly) that Caroll was not 100% well the day they did it, so the vocals might not have...

    Sesame went down hill when Elmo came on the scene

    I've been much more tolerant of changes made that others opposed over the last several years because there was always still good stuff in them. Take the Season 33 format change - some things didn't really work, but hey, there were a slew of new, funny Cookie Monster sketches. Since the season...

    Sesame Street Season 50 Episode 5022 - The Disappoint-O-Meter

    That was fine, I suppose. Though being disappointed certainly applies here - whatever vocals Caroll recorded for this episode were re-dubbed by Matt (I'm sure he didn't quite enjoy doing that).
