Best of Sesame Friends DVD

[Drtooth]

It says "view and vote", but it doesn't actually provide clips or links to the clips, just images and descriptions. Most of the stuff nominated can be viewed at sesamestreet.org, and everything else can be viewed on YouTube (for now...). Considering this, I'm glad they didn't nominate anything really rare. It'd be annoying if they nominated something none of us have access to (especially not in english) and then it didn't get enough votes to be included.

There's nothing like having a physical copy... but I hope that somehow they manage to give us something deep from the archives that NO ONE has ever posted online, youtube or Sesame Street web player.

I will say this, I don't think I could ever settle on one of those Grover sketches (maybe not the Marshal Grover one); the rest are all so perfectly funny.

Considering the "friends" aspect, I think it'd be great if this were to include some "ensemble cast" segments. Like "The King's Nose", "The American Revolution: National Bird", "You Tickle Me", "Fuzzy and Blue", "Do De Rubber Duck", any of Prairie Dawn's pageants... Things with many of the main Muppet characters.

I wonder if I should put myself in a freeze chamber now or wait until voting is over and freeze myself until fall....

I'm not on facebook, so can't vote, but I love the sound of it!

Currently voting ends on feburary 1. I've been hoping that every month for at least a few months they'd replace the nominated clips and let fans vote again and again. Probably won't but I'd still like it to happen.

Well, voting is over.

I found a video on sesamestreet.org that would make a good bonus feature on this: http://www.sesamestreet.org/video_p...-468f-ba55-10f030d84e82/elmo_how_it_all_began In fact, it'd be great to see featurettes like this on all the main characters, either on DVD or the website.

I've been thinking about this, and here is what I think might be a good line-up for the release. Assuming that it'll have stuff not nominated, that at least one of the nominated clips for each character will be included, that some additional character clips will be included (I won't go too crazy on the old school characters) and that all winning clips will be part of the main program (as opposed to being bonus features like the winning clip on the 40th anniversary DVD), here is my wishlist.

Disc 1:

• Bert and Ernie blow a fuse
• Kermit and Grover "loud and soft" radio bit

That would be great!

Another idea I thought would be cool, though I doubt it'd happen with this release, would be to focus on the evolution of all the main characters. I'd include a few segments in a row of each character, with a behind-the-scenes introduction for each character, then show character clips, mainly one for every few years. For example, for Grover, show a season one clip, then something from seasons 2 or 3, then something from the late 1970s, then one or two clips from the 1980s, then a 1990s clip or two, and then a few clips from the last decade. Or with Elmo, begin with a Baby Monster clip, then one of Elmo's season 11 clips (I'd be okay if it's something where he's hardly there, since I'd be surprised if he had any starring roles in season 11), then a "Brian Meehl as Elmo" clip, then a "Richard Hunt as Elmo" clip, then one of Kevin Clash's earliest Elmo clips, then a few 1990s clips, and then somethign from the 2000s.

I wonder if any celebrity clips will be included. No such clips were nominated, and with the focus on main characters it'd be best to avoid celebrities as much as possible (unless that celebrity is Kermit the Frog). And if the set is to include Kermit, I wonder if they'd only include material where Kermit appears alongside other main characters of if they would treat him like a regular and show something with just Kermit (or just Kermit and some minor/one-shot characters).
