I had fun at the Toronto auditions...even though I got cut
Yeah, that pimp-funk thing was EVIL! Even a Gilbert & Sullivan patter song would have been better...mainly because it would have been possible to make out the words!:p
It reminded me of a really hard improv game, in which you...
Early Sesame Street Animation Art online
:excited:
Besides the "Billy Joe Jive" cels, TheDeepArchives animation store also has cels from "Twelvia", "Cooperation", "Cousin Canny" and "Fruita Mansana" (all by Irra Verbitsky), and what appears to be the complete series of storyboard drawings...
I've Got a Mind...
Does anyone know who did the "I've Got a Mind" segments?
Each one started with a blank screen, on which a short horizontal line appeared, followed by an identical line beside it. Then hands appeared beside the lines, and a longer line appeared below the first lines. Then...
More Hubley Animations (apparently)
More animation that looks like it's by the Hubleys:
S - A man has to dodge the "S" modes of transporation as he names them (scooter, skis, speedboat, subway...). At the end of the segment, they're all approaching him together from the distance, and just...
Creepy Muppet Music
:crazy:
"X Marks the Spot" from "Sesame Street" creeped me out the most when I was a kid, but I definitely agree that "Hugga Wugga" is a very unsettling thing! It's also useful for annoying people with!
MuppetDude, please e-mail me with your contact information, so I know where to send your tapes of Electric Company episodes. I have B&W "kinescopes" of eps 362, 366, 367,368,371,373,374,375 and 348. I also have colour episodes 79B, 19A,84A, and a lot of others for which I don't have numbers...
There was a lot that scared me or creeped me out when I was little.
For example:
The Sherlock Hemlock song "X Marks the Spot" really scared me because of the skull & crossbones for the lyrics "Sometimes it means there's pirates, or at worst it means there's poison..."
Similarly, one of...
P.S.
I also have an interesting little snippet from the classic 1970s BBC comedy show, "The Goodies".
In the "End of the World" episode, Graeme (the brainy one) is explaining to Tim (the innocent, cowardly, upper-class one) that the Muppets aren't real; they're just puppets...
I have it somewhere or other. I'm trying to organize my massive collection of videotapes, and I know that I taped it a couple of times, because it was so good.
I cried through the whole thing too...from being lied to by something that had always purported to be my friend, and had always promised to tell the truth.
This may illustrate to younger forum members, why we older ones are feeling so betrayed:

A Twisted Mahna Mahna Dream...
For years now, I've had a dream of dressing to the nines, hiring a high-class stretch limo, and driving around town with "Mahna Mahna" blaring out through the open sunroof.
I can just imagine the looks I'd get, driving through the more posh parts of town...
I'm definitely interested in those really early episodes!
I have 8 episodes from the 1980s (Big Bird Goes Home From Camp, Practising Music, Water Shortage, First Computer on Sesame Street, Mail and Breakdancing, Remembering Mr. Hooper, Maria Visits the Ob-Gyn, Maria & Luis See the Ultrascan)...
Who's David???
(Give me strength...)
(This is why we need more access to the early episodes of "Sesame Street"...)
"David" was a young, hip African-American man, who appeared on the show from 1969 to 1989. At first, he was Maria's love interest, and you can see them snuggling on the...
P is for Pinocchio and for Pest...
So I'm not the only one who noticed this!
I remember watching that old Rankin-Bass "Pinocchio" series when I was a really little kid. That old toy is worth a fortune today, because it's such a good likeness that it's almost identical to the original...
Funny, they managed it really well in the past. The 20th and 25th Anniversary shows were excellent. I remember it was really something to see Jon-Jon all grown up and sporting an Air Force uniform.
What's happened to him since then? What's happened to some of the other original children on the...
Clearly, I'm not the only one who feels let-down and lied-to
"L" is for "LIE" and for "LET DOWN".
"R" is for "RIP OFF".
"F" is for "FALSE ADVERTISING".
I was thoroughly LET DOWN, RIPPED OFF and sucked in by the FALSE ADVERTISING of the 35th Anniversary "Sesame Street" special. "35 years...
