Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

[wiley207]

Watching the Sherman the Hoppity Hop clip again, and I am now noticing that the seam that runs through the middle of Kermit's face is more noticeable than on the usual Kermit. Don't know if that's to emphasize that he's made like an invention (though I also notice it when he is moving) or if it could be Richard Hunt's performance. I wonder if that Kermit puppet was ever used again (probably).

Also, there's something that stands out the way Dr. Nobel Price addresses Kermit as "Mr. Frog". Don't know if it stands out because he's inventing him (but calling his invention a Hoppity Hop), I'm also wondering if this is the only time he's addressed Kermit by any kind of name (I don't recall him doing so in the Foot Snuggies or Poonga Poonga sketches, and there's two that most of us currently can't see in English).

I think the seam was made more noticeable to emphasize that it was a mechanical double of Kermit. Also regarding Dr. Nobel Price calling Kermit "Mr. Frog" here, keep in mind that segment was made as part of the Season 15 production cycle (1983), whereas all the other Dr. Nobel Price News Flash segments were made around 1979-1980. It isn't as obvious from the start, because for this segment they actually used the enlarged mid 1970s-era "NEWS FLASH" logo used on most of those other segments (except the "Talky Stick" one with Warren Wolf), presumably so they could work in Jerry Nelson's announcer spiel introducing Dr. Nobel Price's laboratory, whereas other News Flash segments produced for Season 15 in 1983 use the smaller "flashing" variant of the logo, like that one where the "Little Red Riding Hood" characters get lost, and I also uploaded on my channel almost eight years ago.

It would appear that Nanto's upload of "Everyone Likes Ice Cream" (the "censored" version) is gone again . . . but the darndest thing is I swear I downloaded and saved it long ago . . . and apparently I didn't, because I can't find it on any of my external storage devices I would've kept it on. I can't believe it.

Quick question:

On the Muppet Wiki I've noticed that most of the Season 36 episodes are available on HBO Max. What other Seasons are on HBO Max besides the ones that are listed?

Meaning Seasons 31 - 37

I bet Nanto got busted for something unrelated to Sesame Street, unless the Workshop were the ones who did a copyright claim on it.

The version uploaded by Star Dragon Dust is on YT, but is that the uncensored version?

It is; the audio was pulled from the soundtrack version of the song, so you can tell the audio quality differs significantly from the video itself (and sounds just ever-so-slightly sped up as well).

All of Seasons 36 and 37 are on Max. The hurricane saga is there too. Episodes from seasons 31, 33, and 35 are only really available through the HBO Sesame package, and there are no season 34 episodes (the only season with no representation).

Thank you for the clarification.

I love how HBO Max added some rare, previously “lost” classic Sesame Street episodes, straight from the vault! The only one I caught was Episode 930 before my free trial expired

I hate how they cut the funding credits and original 1971 PBS logos out of the episodes though.

Not surprising though. They did the same thing when they uploaded the Worm Winter Games episode to YouTube back in 2018 by cutting out the 1992 fundings and the 1989 PBS logo.

These are the episodes my mom and stepmom grew up with, but I wasn’t alive when they first aired, so I got to see one for the first time, which is cool!

Here’s 2 clips with B. B. King I found yesterday. I really like these, and I don’t think they’ve surfaced since they aired.

It seems that the street scenes for Episode 2867 are no longer available online. I had it backed up on my pc but it's gone. Does anyone have a copy?
