I can see why Kevin Clash did several singing characters... he was the first REAL African-American Muppeteer, if I'm not mistaken

Also, the corporate motto for Chuck E. Cheese is "Where a kid can be a kid." (I don't know if it still is.) However, the commercials for Chuck E. Cheese say "The real cool place to be a kid." Yet the PBS bumpers for Chuck E. Cheese claim it as "PBS Kids, where a kid can be a kid." Google...

Another thing is "The Song of the Count" on the Old School DVD set. They say it's from 1972 while all other sources say it's from 1974. The "Rapunzel" skit, also labeled as from 1972, is probably from 1971. I think the reason they chose the Rapunzel skit for that DVD set is because it was...

That video is now called "Sleepytime Stories and Songs." I grew up with it as a kid and enjoyed seeing the characters in it. "If Moon Was Cookie" was such a nice, calm-sounding song. If only I could find the year it debuted. I am guessing it is from between 1978 and 1986 since it looks like it's...

Here's an unusual Mysterious Theater skit. Vincent Twice's room looks DIFFERENT here! Also, it doesn't have the "Mysterious Theater" title card. Was it cut off by mistake? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM9BhHRpI_Y

Maybe the reasons why I didn't particularly enjoy the "Around the Corner" era was because of the hundreds of new characters they introduced, like Stinky the Stinkweed and Sherry Netherland... they also tried to make Betty Lou a major character, and not just appearing in songs and in the books...

I stopped watching the show regularly around early 1993, I think, so I was lucky to not watch most of the Around the Corner episodes. I grew up with the 1990-1993 years, which was pretty good. But I know the Furry Arms Hotel makes some occasional appearances nowadays. Perhaps they moved to a...

I know something that might be outdated now... There are several Sesame Street crosswalk-safety skits featuring the older crosswalk signals with the words "WALK" and "DON'T WALK." Not a lot of those signals exist around America anymore (ESPECIALLY in New York City). So maybe they should make...

That was totally awesome! I really loved it. I read those On My Way with Sesame Street books when I was a kid!

I can see how Sesame Street needs to focus more on other ways to stay healthy than sensible eating. Also, they should go back to using the long version of the theme the show is famous for. While the current opening has a good rendition of the theme music (similar to the 1998 theme), the only...

Yeah, recasting Oscar's gonna be difficult! But I think it'd be totally easy to recast Harvey Kneeslapper... they could just use Eric Jacobson!

The still shot closings was used until 1982, ending in the Season 13

"MmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMM-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaah!!!" Man, Frank Oz can be pretty scary if he wants to, not just the Beautiful Day Monster but Fred the Dragon as well. No wonder he's one of the most popular Muppeteers.

Wow, they've got Roxie Marie in it, too? I thought she was retired!

That is the classic Sesame Street News Flash from 1978 entitled "The Six-Dollar Man," where our favorite reporter frog Kermit interviews Professor Nucleus Von Fission (a one-time character on the show) who created the Six-Dollar Man, aptly named because it only cost six dollars to make him! When...

I just noticed something. On the Herry Monster Magic Slate thing, Herry says "If you make a mess, make it DISAPPEAR! Ya." And in this story I read as a kid where Herry Monster looses a huge burlap sack full of his weight-lifting equipment (the others thought it was laundry, and this story was...

Kermit on the street's a cool idea. I also think a good idea that they could make more new Sesame Street News skits, but in a newer style. It would start on the regular "NEWS FLASH" logo (complete with music and announcer), but then it would fade to Kermit at a desk as a main anchorman! He...

The animated "Sesame Street" would have been done by DiC Entertainment ("Liberty's Kids," "Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century," "Inspector Gadget," "Madeline," "Super Mario Bros."), with the original human and Muppet cast providing the voices, and music by Joe Raposo (as well as Shuki Levy and...

Thanks. :D

Sorry it took so long. Here's the third installment in my spooky Sesame tale. THE SESAME STREET HORROR SPECIAL: PART THREE HERRY WEREWOLF Herry and Grover are having a snack together. Being a werewolf, Herry eats rather messy. The doorbell rings, and Herry’s father goes to answer it...
