Where are all these classic Sesame Street episodes coming from?

Just want to ask, are any of those episodes available online, or were the screenshots of the street scenes from episodes accessible at a library?

In case you haven't been keeping up with the times: Scott received a vast amount of classic episodes (including the rare "Out to Lunch" special) from an anonymous source that he's currently using for Muppet Wiki guiding purposes. Occasionally he'll post a clip or two on the Wiki's Facebook and Twitter accounts, but for right now, they're strictly for helping fill up the SS episode guide pages...and research purposes in general.

Oooooh..... you gotta love these!
Recently someone added a guide for season 16's episode #2019 "Gordon meets the Rockheads" in the year 2019!!!!!
and episode #2044!!!!

I sure hope we get to see more full guides for season 16 as well.

Looks like Shane has access to various episodes from the anonymous source:

Episode 1851

muppet.fandom.com

Episode 1855

muppet.fandom.com

On a personal note, I'm thrilled that we FINALLY have a screenshot of a certain skit that I haven't seen in nearly 12 years:

(Fingers crossed we'll see the actual video at one point or another! )

Well, he's had connections with them for years, so he's built up a decent amount of trust with them.

Well, yeah, that's true, but it just caught me by surprise, what with Scott being the one making guides for obscure episodes lately.

Was Telly the whiny version in those episodes? I can just tell by how the puppet looks. Did they remodel him slightly when Marty took over?

Also, there's something about the antron fleece aesthetic of the puppets I just love:

Do Scott and Shane know each other in person? Not trying to get in trouble, I'd just be surprised if they are privately contacting two different people at different times for collecting these episode scripts and clips.

I heard they went out and a had a cup of joe today to celebrate the finding of Brian Meehl's Elmo.

Yup, they go out of their way to meet each other in person, grab the clips, then watch them in a dark alleyway as they gloat about how much you want to see those clips so bad but never will.

Do they text off of Wikia?
