Sesamestreet.org relaunches for Season 39

[Taco Wiz]

This is YEARS overdue! Too bad I missed Grover Day...

 

[Ilikemuppets]

It's been working perfectly fine fine for me so far!

 

[Drtooth]

I spoke too soon... you actually can see some of the different theme songs from certain co-productions...

The Japanese one is very interresting. It's basically the 1970's American English Sesame theme song. No kidding. And hearing Cookie say Iditakimasu was hillarious.

 

[ISNorden]

If only they'd mentioned some of the older co-productions/adaptations; I'm wondering whether Norway's or Sweden's version had an opening theme of its own!

Where are the videos for these certain around the world Sesame Street shows?

Hi... ISNorden, the Norwegian version (Sesam Staasjen) does have its own theme song, it aired as part of a MuppetCast feature on that particular co-production.
Also, I got an "Internet cannot find the page" message when I tried clicking on the URL yesterday, so I think I'll wait until the launch date of 8/11/08 to find out what the hubbub's about.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

Yeah! I'm having trouble getting on thee now too!

Edit: Never mind. It's back up and working again for me!

Edit again, the video section is not coming up.

You can watch them, it's just the the "browse all" section that comes up empty.

Oh.. of course... You see that big section with Grover and the globe? The thing that says "welcome to the longest street in the world"?

There's a small tool bar just under it with country names (not the side with the list)... click on any of those, and you'll see the opening theme to the country's co-production.

So far they only have Bangledesh, Germany, Egypt, France, India, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kosovo, Mexico, Palistine, Russia and South Africa.

Is that MuppetCast still available, and would I need a paid subscription/any player other than my PC to access it? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[The Count]

Heck no. You can easily download MuppetCast episodes via your PC's media player. You'll have to click on the Archives link, go month by month, and root around for the particular episode, but it should be there for downloading.
Hope this helps.
