[Cookie fan]

Feast your eyes on this yet to be released DVD, many of us are waiting for it to be released on October 24 (I think) but otherwise there are DVDs with classic clips at various sites.

That's great.

What are the chances that they will release season sets like they are doing with the Muppets? How many episodes did they do in a season?

Untill recently, there was an average of 130 episodes a season, which might make it impossible for entire season box sets to come out. Starting in the 33rd season, the number was cut down to 26 a season. Of course, I know that quite a few episodes wer elater rebroadcast in later seasosn with the on-screen episode numbers being different (and I think some of those episodes also had certain sketches replaced), so there could be less episodes then we think.

They only do 26 now? I figured that the number was around 100 a season. Why the huge drop off?

Yes, it looks like I may have been wrong (not that I mind at all)!

The Rapunzel clip was from one of the "Newsflash" skits, if memory serves correctly.

I have read that the earliest News Flash segments didn't have a title card, and they when the logo was introduced, they were added to later broadcasts of the earlier news skits as well. If any of those early news skits are shown as bonus features, I hope that they are shown however they were originally shown. I also hope that, if any news skits that originally had logos are included, the original News Flash logos are included, as opposed to later logos that replaced the logos in later showings. I don't mind if it's altered in one of the episodes. The actual episodes should be shown as they were originally aired, even if certain skits were edited or altered in those episodes.
