After seeing the last few posts, I feel like talking about some things that I have talked about many times on the forum, probably in this thread in addition to others...
On the subject of a lack of Abby's Flying Fairy School DVDs.... Yeah, what's the deal with that? There's so many Elmo's World DVDs (even after all but one have been released, and the one unreleased one still doesn't get included), we've already started getting Elmo the Musical DVDs (hopefully when the series ends and all of them have been on DVD we won't keep getting new ones, especially if there's only one that never gets a DVD release despite all the releases that come out after everything else is), and there's one Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures DVD. It'd be great if more recurring segments had their own DVDs. About a decade ago I was thinking there should be video releases spotlighting Journey to Ernie (I would have liked one with all of the segments from the original format included, then a few with 3-4 post-season 34 segments and some additional Ernie segments) and Global Grover.
It would be great if there'd be special releases of Abby's Flying Fairy School, Super Grover 2.0, and Cookie's Crumby Pictures. I thought I heard it was rumored that Cookie's Crumby Pictures was going to be discontinued this next season, so it'd be great if they would get some kind of release out by then (though if we can only get one Cookie Monster release this year, I'd sort of rather it be a DVD release of The Cookie Thief).
And of course it'd be great if there were DVDs spotlighting recurring segments from the past, like Monsterpiece Theater, Sesame Street News, Waiter Grover, and Super Grover. I think every Monsterpiece Theater segment can fit on one 2-3 disc set (not counting every version of segments where Alistair Cookie's scenes were reshot). It would be great if there could be a multiple-volume chronological set of Sesame Street News (I'd be surprised if you could fit them all on a four-disc set, let alone just one or two). I used to think that would be difficult because I didn't think Sesame Workshop was allowed to put images of Kermit on Sesame Street DVD covers, but then there have been a number of Sesame DVDs featuring Kermit on the cover (most of them being stills from existing segments, which I wouldn't have even thought could be allowed), so I guess it would be alright.
And even if they didn't want to do complete chronological sets, it'd be cool if they could do one-disc compilations with varrying assortments of the segments. For example, there could be a release called "Sesame Street News: Rupunzel and More!", featuring such news segments as "Rupunzel", "What Makes People Angry?", "Dr. Nobel Price: Tinker Table", "Hickory Dickory Dock", and others, or "Sesame Street News: Three Little Pigs", with all of the News segments involving the Three Little Pigs, and maybe all of the News segments involving numbers or counting. For Monsterpiece Theater, give them titles like "Twelve Angry Men and Other Stories", maybe that one could include all of the Monsterpiece Theater segments that involve numbers and counting (though Twelve Angry Men is more about feelings than counting), or "The King and I and Other Stories", and include all alphabet/letter-based Monsterpiece Theater segments. Though even if such releases are under 60 minutes I think they'd need a few non-number/non-letter segments for those.
And on the subject of Count on Elmo, as I had said previously I had hoped that it would be a spotlight video for The Count, though judging by the bonus features (and even the title) it didn't look too good. It's a tribute to The Count, not a tribute to counting, it should have The Count segments. And perhaps it will. Though I'm pretty sure Sesame Workshop isn't avoiding full frame segments on DVDs. Elmo's Super Numbers had several full frame segments, though only one Muppet segment (which was in full frame). I hope that this one will have some classic segments. As long as it's not all Count von Count segments, I hope it can include the baker, Jazz Numbers, and Mad Painter.
Or maybe this particular promo is like the Being Green promo, which had a lot of classic clips that don't even appear in the video (clips that have nothing to do with the environmental theme at all).
