Classic Clips on SST Workshop's Site

[StreetScenes]

when does "Classic" ss end?

i'm sure this has been debated on this forum before, and i'm sure many people have answers based on everything from character or muppeteer deaths / debuts, to changes in look, sound, or format, to "when i stopped watching it." (of course my answer to all three of those is the same: ca. 1990, so clearly i'm right and the debate can just end there...)

but now that sw has labeled a whole bunch of their skits on the video player as "classic," can anyone well-versed in '90s ss figure out when THEY mark the line between classic and recent? and do you agree?

On the video site, they label everything before Season 25 classic. Everything from season 25 and after is considered modern.

cool. thanks. do they (or does anyone else) have any justification for this date?

i love this one--the phonebook alphabet. caroll's portrayal of a child's excitement over the seemingly mundane is spot on. and then there's the references to ss people's last names...i heard five of them--am i missing any?

Sesame Street Roughnecks and the Subtraction Bowl.

This one you'll find if you type up numbers and early math

These so called SS Roughnecks try to subtract stuff by removing things and a girl named regular kids finds an easy way to do it and beats the Roughnecks.
