I feel I should include a few more from recent seasons for many of the characters, but I'm not that familiar with content from the HBO seasons (in some cases I probably should have included a little more from the 1990s and 2000s). I am actually surprised that my Grover wishlist looks smaller than what I would have expected to make.

And I think this is the first Sesame Street DVD wishlist I posted on MC since Muppet Wiki got access to trusted sources, allowing me to know more seasons that segments debuted in and in some cases (I assume) even know what titles were used for more segments.

We probably won't get a release like this for the 50th anniversary, but it would make for a great release.

You forgot to mention I LOVE TRASH for Oscar’s moment.

You forgot to mention I LOVE TRASH for Oscar’s moment.

I couldn't really decide on which one.

I couldn't really decide on which one.

Do the 90's version as that is the more modern version of the song.

For a minute there, I thought this was going to be that fan sing-along video they were talking about, which I thought the deadline for wasn't until the 31st.

An interesting compilation, and perhaps the strangest thing about the editing is that at 0:17, we have back-to-back clips of both the old Baby Bear puppet, and the redesigned Baby Bear puppet.

 

[Blue Frackle]

The mashup is kinda odd... do we know what this skit at 0:48 with Sully in E&B's apartment is?

Yes.

 

[Blue Frackle]

Is it redundant to point out the continuity of that apartment? Like how is Ernie looking through the window? Wouldn't he have to bend down?

That's quite the random assortment of Muppets for his band!

 

[Blue Frackle]

So I actually researched the lack of continuity of the apartment and we just have to accept it. In Christmas Eve on Sesame Street they actually lived above Hopper's Store (lol), but there was actually effort since day one with the trash cans (somehow they went backwards), and later on it made some kind of sense.

Alas, this is all just like Ernie & Bert's age or if they're gay or not; at the end of the day it doesn't matter, but it sure makes for some fun conjecture.
