    "Lost" Cast Member: Panchito Gomez as Antonio

    This adult cast member would have featured at the same time as Molly the Mail Lady, Tom the barkeeper and Rafael. However, he is not shown at all on Noggin. He is listed in the scrolling credits at the end of the rainstorm episode as well as in IMDB (for 1971-1972). Does anyone have a photograph...

    Who sung these songs?

    This man had a very gentle voice and sang on several songs from the late 1970s / early 1980s. It was not Joe Raposo. Songs include: What's It Like To Be In School All By Myself (Well, Why Not?) Listen or You'll Be Missin' Does anyone know who wrote/sang these?

    Looking For VH1 SS Special

    Hi All, I'd like to trade for the VH1 Sesame Street A-Z musical special that aired a few years ago. For trading, I have: All 67 Unpaved episodes in high quality. A number of rare SS specials. A few 80s non-Noggin episodes and a large collection of non-Noggin clips. If you have the...

    Ted Koppel in "Two is You and Me"?

    Is it me, or is that a young Ted Koppel shown dancing with a lady in the live action film with the Raposo song "Two is you and me"?

    Did Joe Raposo ever appear on Sesame Street?

    Based on the images of Joe Raposo from a documentary I have, he seems to make an appearance in several of the live action films for which he composed the music: "Everybody Sleeps" immediately comes to mind (at the very end: the man sleeping on the bench as the train goes by). Can anyone confirm...

    Miguel

    Before the Hal Miller Gordon, before the ill-fated Raul Julia/Charlotte Rae period of SS, there was Miguel. He may be the most obscure adult regular that was ever on the show. I don't see him mentioned very much. There were four adult regulars during the original 1969/1970 season: Gordon...

    Psychedelic SS

    I watch some of the animated pieces in the old episodes and I'm thinking, how did they come up with this stuff? To what extent do you think the psychedelic/drug culture had an influence on SS, if at all? I'm not just talking about classics like the Racecars/Spies segment that taught about...

    Gordon Trauma

    I've asked the question before, but not in this forum. Between the years 1972 and 1974, three different actors are playing the role of Gordon. Does anyone remember watching the show around that time? Were you confused or befuddled by these cast changes, or did you not really notice? I would...

    Favorite Characters Then and Now

    Has anyone noticed that different characters have appeal when watching the show in adulthood versus childhood? For example, Big Bird is much less appealing to me now; he was mainly for the kids. However, characters like Bert, Oscar, and Grover are much more interesting now as I notice all the...

    The Raposo Factor

    Joe Raposo's jazzy, breezy music set to the live action films sort of epitomizes all that is great about classic SS for me. Remove those sections, and you remove much of the "essence" of what made the show so great back then. Does anyone agree?

    David's Decline

    As fans of David know, the character changed drastically from the 1970s to the 1980s. After going back through the Unpaved episodes, I start to notice changes in David by the time Buffy comes along, in 1977. His voice is starting to get that husky quality that we associate with 80s David, and...

    Memories of "Early Elmo"

    The Elmo character was actually around during the tail end of when I originally watched the show. He had a different voice, sort of like Harry Monster's, husky but at a higher pitch. I'm pretty sure he interacted with Mr. Hooper too... despite what the Special wanted us to believe (maybe they...

    The Irony of Elmo Being the 10th Monster of the Day in the Special

    The Count asks, is 9 the number of the day? If 9 had been the number of the day, we would have seen the elusive number 9 falling baker sketch with :sympathy: . Naturally, we forgot to count little you-know-who... so there are 10 monsters! The number of the day is 10! Oh well. There was...

    MP3 of "Picture a World"???

    As you can tell from the title, I am desparately looking for an MP3 or some kind of audio copy of this vintage Raposo classic. I believe it was included on the 2nd SS Record, but any version will do. Please reply if this is possible and we can get in contact! :p

    The Noggin/Unpaved Collectors' Circuit

    It's a shame that SS Unpaved is not on Noggin anymore. There seems to be quite a trading system going now. If you don't mind me tooting my own horn a bit, here's a little internet history. In early 2002, Mark "the Shark" and I had just acquired Noggin around the same time and were...

    SS Unpaved Special

    Dear Fellow Friends of Street, I am desparately looking for a copy of the SS Unpaved TV Special that aired on TV Land a few years back. I still have not been able to locate it as of yet. If you have it, I'd be glad to make a trade. I have the complete Unpaved series as well as a few other...
