A very interesting episode of the "Tonebenders" podcast from Sound Ideas about sound design on "Sesame Street", with interviews with Steve "Major" Giammaria and Dick Maitland!

Well, the rumors are sadly true. At Walt Disney World Resort's Disney's Hollywood Studios park, the MuppetVision 3D attraction is going to be closed as part of building a new Monsters Inc.-themed land... but the Muppets are still going to have an attraction at the park! The "Rock 'n' Roller...

Here's another one of my combining a classic "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" episode with the original Muppet Babies; this time, the tots accompany the gang in the classic mystery "Hassle in the Castle!" I used a few bits from the "Muppet Babies" episode "Muppetland," largely due to Gonzo's spooky...

I've been thinking of and noticing how Christmas just isn't the same as it was when I was a kid. (No snow, fewer traditional decorations, a small non-traditional roast beef dinner, etc.) But at least it's not as bad as what happened in "Elmo Saves Christmas" when Elmo wished for Christmas every...

Jeffery Scott, a prominent writer of 80s kids' cartoons that was a developer on the original "Muppet Babies" series, is suing Disney for apparently copying his original series bible for the 2018 reboot! Read it here...

Hey there, I am trying to identify an illustration from the 1985 "Three Sesame Street Stories" Golden Book Video adaptation of the "Wanted: The Great Cookie Thief" book. I remember learning that quite a few things were added into the video version that weren't in the book, as it was common for...

I know it's been several years, but I thought I'd dust off this "Sesame Street" fanfic I've left untouched for years, until recently, when a recent furry convention's horror and werewolf theme that I attended inspired me to finish the story! This is set around Season 21 (1989-1990), and is...

Having watched so many old "Sesame Street" episodes and segments, I have been able to gather information on where many of the sound effects heard in the street scenes and cast/Muppet segments from 1969 up to the early 80s came from, as the sound effects were a lot more unique back then... One...

This morning, SesameWorkshop uploaded a fun new video to the official Sesame Street YouTube channel... Gordon reads us the 1992 Sesame Street book "We're Different, We're the Same." Elmo and Abby Cadabby make a few appearances too. It's a nice little video, and I especially enjoyed it as I...

I noticed according to Wikipedia and the Muppet Wiki that the airdates for Season 7 and 8 seem somewhat in accurate. Well, on Wikipedia the airdates for Season 8 seem accurate, but it says Season 7 began airing on December 2, 1989 with "It's Only Pretendo." I don't think that's true. Consider...

They did NOT announce the Sesame Street cast appearing during the opening lineup announcement for the Macy's parade on the NBC broadcast! I guess they just demoted them to the "And the rest" category as "Fantastic floats and spectacular balloons..." which NBC now considers a side event compared...

I'm not sure if anyone else has done a fanfic of "Sesame Street News" featuring the nursery rhyme "Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" But I saw the potential on how it could be used as a News report, teaching about "short" and "long." It does bear some similarities to "Has Anybody Seen...

It's ALMOST the complete soundtrack, but I have now been able to locate nearly all of the background music cues from the 1985 Golden Book Video story "The Exciting Adventures of Super Grover" from "Five Sesame Street Stories", a video I grew up watching as a kid. All of the music here comes from...

I just heard from SesameWorkshop that for Season 50, which will be the really big anniversary season of the show, they will be getting rid of any and all human cast members of "Sesame Street," so that the live-action portions will be all Muppets! The exceptions will be guest stars, a few kids...

Since many of them are being found online lately, I thought I'd bring them up. One artist/animator that has contributed some really strange/bizarre/creepy "Sesame Street" cartoons would have to be Swiss illustrator Etienne Delessert, in 1973-1974. Generally, these cartoons only run for 30...

This is based off an annoying commercial I have to see every day I work at Walmart, and there was a part that reminded me of a certain Sesame Street Muppet, I thought I'd let her take a stab at it! ... (The setting's in front of the 123 Sesame Street apartment. Abby Cadabby stands next to a...

As of this week, Cartoon Network no longer airs any classic Looney Tunes shorts. (They even took off classic "Tom and Jerry!") It may just be for the summer, but you never know. And then this reminded me, on the old Golden Age Cartoons forum I was a member of, in 2004 a member wrote up a spoof...

Well, since this year will mark the fifth year of my original upload of this music video (Michael Jackson's "Thriller" set to creepy Sesame Street moments), and with the "Cracks" animated skit finally being unearthed, I seized the opportunity to remake it with more spooky moments!

Since Joe Raposo also scored Dr. Seuss TV specials in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the famous Emmy-winning "Halloween is Grinch Night," I couldn't resist making this!

Looking at the library of segments Sesame Street had over the years, I remember how they would teach about "DON'T WALK" and "WALK," as seen in these... But times have changed, and this includes the pedestrian crossing signals. Many of them across the country were upgraded, so now they...
