 * CTW doc says it's in Episode 1505
 * 1505 script doesn't have it.
 * 40 years book has this image
 * Michael references a recently posted BTS pic at Thread:256432
 * Brad — Episode 1068, Episode 1198
 * Episode 0900, record adaptation
 * Bertha — Episode 1207 (script describes "Korngold Strings" and "Million and One Strings Falling in Love Music")
 * Episode 2875 — a previous source stated Kathleen Battle appeared in a Season 22 episode with Placido Flamingo and Grundgetta; my outline for 2875 notes Wilhelmenia Fernandez... could she have been replaced by Battle? (no, TV listings for the airdate confirm Fernandez)
 * Sesame Street story arcs
 * proto-Maria played by Carla Pinza: Episode 0234 and Episode 0256 (Thread:226136)
 * Brian Muehl as Alphabet Bates might be Episode 1461. He's not credited in the script, but it aired when he was doing Sesame and the description matches the photo from the 40 Years book. ADDENDUM: seems to have been multiple segments; Episode 1336 credits "Brian as Alphabet Bates"
 * Episode 1713 (1982) has a segment with Slimey going to the moon... 16 years before the Slimey to the Moon arc. There's also a Neil Armstrong paraphrase.


 * errors and other discrepancies
 * Episode 0441 is credited to Annie Evans which can't be possible; script is presented in a modern format indicating that it was likely transcribed from elsewhere and someone didn't didn't change the "writer" field.
 * Episode 2709 missing street segment
 * Episode 3177 empty
 * Episode 3209 missing
 * there's a season 25 insert doc for a segment with Sigourney Weaver but it's not in the episode script. sounds like she was replaced by Laurence Fishburne
 * Episode 0036 has a character called Mr. Glopper played by someone called "Buddy" (Buddy who?)


 * other
 * a lot of season 1 scripts seem to have Gordon sitting around doing nothing in the kitchen while Susan runs around and waits on him. I think Joan Ganz Cooney addresses this in her TV Archive Interview. Also look through Sesame Street gender stereotyping reports and other CTW documents.

 * WhatLinksHere sometimes refers to a malformed message wall link, for example:
 * To find the proper Thread, follow the link which should redirect to (i.e.) Message_Wall:Aleal?page=3#comm-191269


 * Apply the numbers after #comm to Thread: and that will take you to the post.


 * To get to the parent thread, click the link in the date on that post.


 * as found in AWB, %40 may need to be converted to @ and a Thread: prefix added (just follow format above)

video production terms
drawn in real time on the screen as opposed to Scanimate which was prepared and animated
 * telestrator

described in:
 * Episode 0543
 * Episode 2253

used in scripts to describe taping techniques like this or Milo Counting — seems to mean low frame-rate with quick reverse cuts
 * pixilation/pixilated

used in scripts a lot. see Limbo. might be worth its own article.
 * limbo

Cathryn Aison
Animator of Geometry of Circles emailed me years ago that she animated other Sesame films. I don't know what they were, but here's a list of candidates.

Reminders

 * Lois & Clark: Secrets of Season 2, same stock music as Super Grover Ready To Learn (John Beal?)
 * Michael Eisner Muppet (source?) for Category:Caricature Muppets
 * find out more info on The Sesame Street Family Album
 * Muppets Ahoy
 * Jane in MD
 * who was the real life archer for Episode 323: Lynn Redgrave and Episode 307: Alice Cooper? (unrelated: Swedish Chef awkwardly fires a bow and arrow in episode 522; most likely Chef's regular hands, Frank Oz)
 * who voiced Telly on A Bird's Best Friend?
 * Muppet Magazine (use Chris Reeve as template)
 * ITC book
 * On My Way with Sesame Street contents
 * Brian Henson Introductions (Odyssey broadcasts)
 * how to place text above the edit field on specific pages (ie, get rid of html comments on some pages)
 * pull info from various text files ('wiki bits', 'drinking game', etc.)
 * more calendar scans
 * Real people on the wiki: Thread:236819
 * read Who Censored Roger Rabbit? and elaborate on the Kermit toy as a "recurring element" in the story

47
Possibly the only number to appear on screen in The Cube (1969). Its use seems to be of some importance in the story. Possibly chosen on purpose by Henson and Juhl, given their awareness of that type of sub-culture at the time (Juhl's sci-fi story in IF, coffee break machine, etc), to the mathematical proof demonstrated at Pomona College in 1964.
