Cover art is a bit bland compared to the 40th anniversary one, but whatever. The Vulture article makes it sound like one disc is assorted clips, and the other disc is memorable street stories. Seems good to me.

The street plot was already really short and yet they edited it down to be even shorter, so they could fit in..."Plan the Play"...again. I did like that "C is for Cars" toon; that is exactly how these letter shorts should be - actually teaching the letter.

No, it's not really a "special." It's just the non-insert pieces from the season premiere episode (all the scenes add up to about 26 minutes, so it works perfectly as a half-hour special).

Or, and this seems really out there, y'all can just relax. And please, do not pester these people regarding these episodes. I know you all badly want to see them, but you just have to be patient and see what comes of this.

Whatever arrangement there is, it's based on the goodwill Muppet Wiki has built up over the years. Random YT-ers have no such standing.

So, Grover doesn't know what a camp counselor does...and yet they directly reference the sketches where he was a camp counselor. Eh, whatever.

The President is not often at this event, if ever, I believe. Current President is throwing his own pity-party event elsewhere in Washington that night.

Just...stop.

That was at the end. But yeah, it was nice to see Baby Bear again; I miss him, even though they didn't really do much in the episode. The bit at the very end was easily the best part. And that Cloud 9 Diner animation was interesting to say the least.

Alright, we get it. People are ungrateful, rare stuff is being found, etc, etc, etc. Let's move on.

(spoiler: he's not)

I am interested in seeing OTL just because it's a rare thing, but honestly, the descriptions on the Wiki don't sound all that hot. The Muppet stuff seems fine (I've seen a bit of the Grover Knover bit at one screening), but the stuff with the Electric Company cast looks easily skippable and that...

I often wonder if Sesame has the original film reels for a lot of those early films and cartoons before they were dubbed to tape. The Henson Legacy has some of Jim's Sesame work on film and restored some of it HD not long ago (looking really good).

"Tag" means it's like a short little thing or like a quick bit reacting to/continuing a previous one.

They're not, it's probably just a weird way they're numbered within the tv guides.

That was rather amusing, actually, especially the little bit with the Count. And wasn't there supposed to be a song with Solange Knowles in this episode?

The AAPB site lists a number of entries for Sesame episodes (modern, so don't get excited); they are simply not availible to watch online.

I spent the last week making this dumb thing:

I also received the same email.

Season boxsets of the show would be completely impractical; you could fit at most 3 hours on a disc, and that would still be 40+ discs a season. Plus, there's tons of royalties/rights for the all the cast, celebrities, animators, filmmakers, musicians, etc - there's no way something like this...
