Regarding the early Sesame Street records -- my sister and I had the "Sesame Street Book And Record" from when it first came out and we loved it, going through several copies. Obviously, the version of the theme song on the album is a completely different recording than the one used on the...

Apparently he passed away five years ago. I had no idea. I just happened to stumble on this info via his Facebook page (as Harold Miller). Or am I the last to know this?

I watched Sesame Street in its early years in Chicago on WTTW-Channel 11. The schedule varied over the years, but I remember the show often being on multiple times a day -- early in the morning like around 7:00 a.m., then again around 9:30 or 10, then again around 3:00 or 3:30 -- though like I...

In the early 1980s there was a news story on "Weekend Update" (though IIRC it was called "SNL Newsbreak" at the time) about an assassination attempt against Big Bird which supposedly happened during a Sesame Street Live performance. (It was just a sketch, everyone was okay.) During the bit they...

I had been looking for this sketch for a long time -- please tell me this isn't a "semi-lost" one. I found this video: Something is funky with it. That doesn't sound like Jim Henson's voice. The impression I get is this was only found "out in the wild" in a foreign dubbed international...

This is a real "long shot." But a big part of my Sesame Street viewing experience wasn't actually part of the show, but our local PBS station (WTTW-Channel 11 in Chicago) used to brand their kids show lineup as "Children's Fair" (possibly a play on words as they were presenting children's...

This is something that's always puzzled me. The second season was the only time Sesame Street had three extra weeks' worth of shows. For Season 1, there was exactly enough time to cycle through all 130 shows twice (they actually aired more than twice if you figure in two showings per weekday and...

First, I want to say thank you to whoever maintains the wealth of information at the Muppet Wikia site. I appreciate all the info about the various scenes, Muppet segments and animated clips, where they first appeared or when their earliest "known" appearance was, etc. I was trying to find a...

Anyone here remember this? I remembered seeing him pushing the cart and recognizing him as the guy who plays Mr. Hooper. I have looked for this on You Tube before, never found it until now. (Of course, I haven't looked consistently every day.) You never know what you'll find out there...

Can someone sort a few things out for me regarding Roosevelt Franklin: Matt Robinson continued to perform Roosevelt for a time after he stopped playing Gordon, right? Roscoe Orman voiced Hardhead Henry Harris, is that correct? And Orman definitely worked with Robinson, at least on these...

I happened to stumble on this and thought it might be of interest -- apparently the actual descriptions from TV Guide listings of the day: http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/sesame-street/episodes-season-1/100390/

I have read about this scene -- it's the "post-roll" ending of the Ernie & Bert skit, "the world's greatest counter of numbers." I just did a cursory web search and couldn't find it -- no big surprise, I guess. So what was the deal with this? Did this ever air? I really want to see it! I note...

Hello. I was just watching the Sesame Street 20th anniversary special (20 And Still Counting) the other night -- I hadn't really sat down and watched the whole thing since it originally aired. Anyway, they included a few of those "Muppet and kid moments" and in a couple cases (Herry and...

Greetings. I was a member under a different user name here a number of years ago, but could not access my old account. I have occasionally "lurked," but signed up again tonight. I was a viewer of Sesame Street pretty much from the beginning (I was just at the right age when it went on the air...
