EFGH
Hey Kyle - I saw over on Ken's talk page that you have a copy of the EFGH slipcover you could scan in. It would be great to have a better copy! -- Wendy (talk ) 14:42, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Sesame Street Gold
Hey, Kyle! I think you have Sesame Street Gold, and your version is numbered CTW 89006, right? Can you tell me what year it came out? Thanks! -- Ken (talk ) 03:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes same number you have wrote there. 1977. Welcome. -- Kyle (talk ) 10:53, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Wait a minute. I have the first edition, on CTW 79001, and that one does say 1977.  But the 89000 series came out in 1981 and 1982, and even if they have reissues of older albums, like the combos of Big Bird and Oscar, and Grover and Cookie Monster, they have the new date, not the dates of the original LP's.  I believe you, but it's weird that on that one, they'd date it 1977.  Can you scan the bottom of the back cover when you get a chance, so I can see if there's any other differences from mine?  Thanks! -- Ken  (talk ) 04:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Sesame Street 45's
Hey, Kyle! I haven't talked to you in a while, or seen you doing anything on the wiki. How are you doing? I was wondering if you had any of the Sesame Street 45's in the CTW 99000 series. I'm trying to figure out what colors they used for the labels. If you can help, that would be great. Talk to you later! -- Ken (talk ) 05:04, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey yourself Ken! Doin' fine and yourself? Well since i don't have any of those seires of records i might not be any use to you on this one. Sorry. And sorry i haven't got to the other records that you wanted pics of but i'll get to those when i can. Talk to you later. -- Kyle (talk ) 09:16, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, that's fine. I've got enough to do with working on records that I already have, so let me know whenever you put up anything new, in case I don't see it.  Thanks! -- Ken  (talk ) 01:46, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ebay 45
Hey, Kyle! That's what I was talking about. They sold them all separately in book and record sets. But when you bought the box, you wouldn't get the books. Can you grab that picture? Even if you don't win it, that would be neat to have! -- Ken (talk ) 03:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Sesame Street Gold
Hey, Kyle! Are you off today? Just wondering. Anyway, I keep forgetting to ask you if you have Sesame Street Gold. If you do, what number is it? I keeping seeing listings that have 2 different numbers, but I've only seen one of them in person. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:37, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

ABC 45's
Awesome, Kyle! Do you have any other Muppet or Sesame singles? Please let me know. Can I ask you a favor? When you have some free time, can you scan all the alphabet singles on both sides, only take them out of the sleeve? I'll keep those for my files, and maybe later on I can cut out the black parts. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:42, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Sure thing Ken. I will do that. I will also have the front and back of the box that you wanted here in just a few. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 09:45, 25 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the box pictures. Apparently, the box edition didn't come with books like the early CC's.  So we'll have to keep looking for ones that were issued separately.  By the way, what state do you live in?  I live in California, and I don't remember ever seeing the boxes of any album out here back when I was little.  I've always wondered if states nearer New York, where they were made, might have received more copies.  Anyway, that's just a theory I've always had.  Now with eBay, you can find stuff from all over the world! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The books that it did come with are really small and not the size as the regular ones seen. I'll have those scaned sometime later on today after work. So i'll get those up and let you get a look at them. Texas. How old are you? I'm 25 and don't remember any of these because i didn't grow up in the 70's just the 80's. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 09:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, don't faint, but I'm 37 going on 38, so I consider myself an original Sesame Streeter, since I was born right before the show went on the air. Of course I don't remember the first year firsthand (orange Oscar, Big Bird's different head), but my older brother does, and he used to tell me stuff about the early years.  As I got older, I'd get records for Christmas and birthdays, and I'm still filling in the gaps.  I'm also kind of proud of the fact that I remember seeing the very first Muppet Show the very first night (out here it was Sandy Duncan, and now I found out that not every TV station showed them in the same order), and I saw all 6 "Muppet" Movies (Movie, Caper, Crystal, Manhattan, Follow, Labyrinth) at the movie theater.  And I was in college when Jim died, so that makes me feel really old!  I'm probably the oldest person on here, but it makes me feel really good that so many younger people are interested in the Muppets.  You know, you've got a really good collection of Sesame Street records!  Most people your age don't even know what a record is!  I'm glad I got to meet you! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * gets back up and whips forehead Sorry 'bout that. JK Yea you got that right. I used to listen to my granny's collection (even if she didn't have any SS/Muppets/Fraggles) of old christmas records. My uncle even gave me old 45's to listen too. That is kid records. I even listen to my mom's old record collection too. The Monkees and the Champs (Tequila). Thanks. I'm a big fan of old SS/Muppets/Fraggle records. I have first Fraggle Record and the UK Gate Fold Muppet Show too. For some reason alot of people say that records have alot better sound and i agree with them. I understand that some records aren't that good with the sound but i'm also glad to have meet you. Having someone that got to see the Muppet Show when it first aired even if it didn't air in order. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 10:27, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the one hole in my knowledge of stuff that came out during Jim's lifetime is Fraggle Rock, because it was on cable in the US, and on free TV in Canada, so I never got to see it back then. Now that they're coming out to buy, I might get to know them one season at a time.  I don't know how you feel about the movies and other stuff that came out after Jim died, but I just can't get into it.  I can't stand seeing Steve Whitmire doing Ernie and Kermit.  I realize that eventually everybody's going to have to be replaced due to death and retirement, but it still feels weird to me.  Kind of like when they had to recast Warner Brothers cartoon characters after Mel Blanc died.  I'm glad they're keeping the characters alive, but I don't like how they sound.  And one of the things that made me want to get to know you (besides your interest in the records) was the nice things you said on your user page about how Jim and Frank worked together.  I totally agree with you.  I believe that Jim and Frank's chemistry took the material (which was already great) to an even higher level that will never be duplicated.  I was thinking the other night about how many combinations of characters they would work with, and how they kept them all distinct and consistent always amazes me.  Think of how Ernie could always annoy Bert, and yet Fozzie or Piggy could annoy Kermit, or Grover could annoy Kermit, or that one time that Rowlf and Fozzie played the piano together (which will be on the Season 2 set).  They were awesome together.  Well, it's great talking to you, but it's late and I have to get up early for church tomorrow.  I'll have some other record questions for you soon.  Talk to you later! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Well with me i enjoyed the new movies. The only reason why is that i have always been a Kermit fan and will always be. It is hard to get used to Steve's voicing of Kermit but for some reason i'm starting to hear Kermit once again. It's like the voice is just coming back after all these years. I can understand how others must feel when they do hear Kermit after Jim's passing but i just can't seem to go on without hearing Kermit ever again. I hope with me still enjoying Steve's Kermit won't make me a guy who doesn't care for Jim's Kermit but i still do. Here's something that might instress you. I have a friend who now has a soon to be Step Dad who grew up watching Sesame Street and The Muppet Show all together as well. Now he thinks that Kermit should of been burried with Jim and never thought of again. Then he thought why not make Robin the head frog. But to me i couldn't see that happening. It just wouldn't be the same. Almost loosing Mr. Hooper and never getting to see him again. (even tho we won't) But that's me. I could never see Kermit leaving and never coming back. Now with growing up in the 80's i did get to watch reruns of the Muppet Show and still got to see Kermit that Jim had preformed so i'm still a big fan of Jim's and still will be even if Steve is preforming him now. So that's me for you. Nice talking to you again and hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Good Morning
Hey Kyle, can you confirm what the first song is on Side 1 of What Time Is It on Sesame Street? Is it Good Morning, or Good Morning Morning? Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:09, 11 May 2007 (UTC)


 * So sorry i keep forgetting but since my parents internet isn't working at the moment and i'm using my sister's computer at her house to write you this. I hope very soon that my parents internet get put back on soon or what my mother said is that she'll either call another service to use other then the one they have. So sorry about the long wait and i'll talk to you later Ken. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * It's "Good Morning."--MuppetVJ 17:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Kyle!
Congratulations! Your needlepoint kit made Today on Muppet Wiki! I wanted to make sure you saw them. -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The scans are done!
Hey, Kyle! Scott finished the scans. Can you come get the needlepoint one and put it where you want it? I'll put the other ones on the Sesame Street 2 page. Thanks for sharing what you have! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

SS episodes
Hi Kyle, I deleted the pages you created for episodes 2938 and 3264... we don't need to create articles when we don't have any more information than the only page that links to it. Let me know if you have any questions about that. —Scott ( talk ) 03:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Square Song
Hi Kyle, I noticed that you had one of the Susan records... could you take a look at the questions I've posed at Talk:Square Song? Thanks! —Scott ( talk ) 14:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

More records
Hey, Kyle! I went back over here, because I was starting to get messages from both you and Danny about records, and it was getting confusing. I was wondering if you could take a picture of the record labels for Side 1 and Side 2 of Sesame Street 2. I wanted to confirm some information on the label, and see what it looks like. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Records
Hey, Kyle! I saw you making some corrections on the Monsters! album. Do you have that one? I might need to ask you a question when I get to it. Also, I hear you have other Sesame Street records. Can you give me a list sometime? It would be good to confirm information with somebody who has them. Thanks for your help! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:43, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Sesame Street Episodes
Hey Ken, i have a question for you. It's about a trade i did a while back. Now i have this episiode of Sesame Street that starts off with Big Bird singing "Good Morning Mr. Sun" but it has a whole todally different story line other then the one that is up on the guide? Now i know that the version that's up in the guide is a PBS version but the guy who i traded with also said his copy was a PBS verison. The # here is called Episode 2291. Could you help me out? -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, Kyle, I don't know a whole lot about episodes after about 1980. That sounds like a great question for Guillermo {MuppetVJ}, though!  By the way, if you want to ask me a question, you should ask me on my talk page so I'll see it.  I ran across this page when I was doing something else.  Hope this helps! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Kyle!
I haven't talked to you in a while. That red Treasury cover came out cool, huh? Was that the only cover, or did the individual LP's also have covers? Was there anything interesting on the back of the red cover? Thanks for putting it up! -- <font color="Blue">Ken (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Ken! Yep you did a wonderful job on that and i can't belive how colorful it came out too. That was the only cover to it. The records are in a white cardborad that has the list to what's on each record. And nope nothing on the back. That's about it. But glad to see i had something that someone else had never heard of. I found it one day on ebay and said that would be neat to have. It's always neat to find stuff that i have never seen or that what others have that i would have never know that it was made. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 11:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Record
I have a record set of five. It's called "Sesame Street Treasury." Not like the book set but with five records with lots of songs. This whole set is a re-released of several albums. Now what i wanted to ask is are you going to want me to write ever song from each record or do you just want a list of the records that were included in this set? Let me know please. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, Kyle! My name's Ken, and thanks for putting up an entry on this item.  I left you a question about it on its page.  Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Ken  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Kyle, would it be possible to scan the cover(s) of this set? If it's too big for your scanner, I'd be happy to stitch the pieces together in Photoshop. —Scott ( talk ) 04:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Scott. I do have it scaned. I'll send it as soon as i can get to it. I also have another scan i did with a picture of my dads camrea so i'll send that one too. Just need your e-mail address. --<font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:33, 06 April 2007 (UTC)


 * If you want, you could upload the pictures to the wiki, and Scott could get them off here. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Good idea. I'll do that. --<font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 07:56, 06 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Great! They're all set :) —Scott ( talk ) 18:57, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Activity Books
I have two little books that belong to the "Get Ready" set of books. But they are the play books that came out with the "Get Ready" set. Didn't know if anyone had any more of these or to where i need to put them. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If it's the same series that matches the logos found on the covers of the books in Category:Get Ready Learning Series, they can go there. Don't forget to put them in the regular Category:Sesame Street Books category, too.


 * Also, here's the codes you should be using for book pages:


 * Just copy and paste that each time you create an entry and fill in the appropriate fields and it should be much easier for you. —Scott ( talk ) 03:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Muppet Wiki Messages
I keep getting these messages thingys that pop up and then i go to cheak out my talk page but there's nothing writen by anyone. Is this a mess up or what just asking is all. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Any edit to your page counts as a "message." In this case, it was a vandal earlier, who Danny reverted. Check the edit history of your talk page if you're ever unsure why you're getting "new messages." -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Andrew. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

books, part 2
Hey Scott! I need some help here. I have two of these little floppy books called "Big Bird "Beep" Book. "Let's Get Dressed!" I didn't know where this would go just because. I've looked around to see if i could find more about this book or the machine that came with it. But couldn't find anything. Here's a look at the book. Kyle 07:55, 7 March 2007 (UCT)


 * Do you have information on the author, illustrator, ISBN and publish date? —Scott ( talk ) 01:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Here the illustrators. Anne Sikorski and Cover illusterator Tom Brannon. I can't find the ISBN. It's nowhere. I've looked on the back and in the book and nothing of that. Year 1989 Golden Press Book. That's all i can find on it. Kyle 08:11, 7 March 2007 (UCT)


 * Yeah, I have that too. There isn't an ISBN. On the inside, it says: "Based on the Sesame Street curriculum, Big Bird Beep Books introduce your child to preschool subjects. Each activity page helps your child practice basic skills with the use of the electronic beeper. The beep sound acts as positive reinforcement when your child chooses the correct answer." Etc. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:13, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * By the way, this is the book that has Mrs. Monster finding a sock, which you may remember from My Week with Grover's Mom. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I thought thats what it was but i didn't have the eletronic beeper to go with it. I just didn't know if it would go with the games or books. Yep i remember that. I alway liked that with those Danny. Kyle 08:19, 7 March 2007 (UCT)


 * Another thing i had was one second book in the seires of "Big Bird's Story Magic" book. It's another verison of Big Bird and Little Bird's Big & Little Book but didn't know with it being that it kind of has the same cover as the first one published. But didn't know if you would want it up or what? Kyle 08:30, 7 March 2007 (UCT)


 * Hey Danny i found another the other SS beep book i was talking about but something is not the same as the other i have. This one doesn't have spiral thingys. I was for sure that other one i had the spiral things but i guess not if i don't run across it. But here's the pic of it. Kyle 03:22, 12 March 2007 (UCT)


 * Thanks, Kyle! I just created a page for them -- Big Bird Beep Books. Can you tell me the illustrators listed on New Words? -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing. Jane Yamada. Also i have several books that aren't listed could i just send you the pic,ISBN,illustrators and everything else to you? Kyle 04:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I think you should try adding them yourself! Go to Help:Newpages, and add the pages. If you have any problems, people will help you out. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:12, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. Thank Danny. I'll look into that. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I have a spanish verison of A Visit to the Sesame Street Firehouse. And didn't know where it should go. -- <font color="Blue">Kyle (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

books
Hi Kyle. I'm a little confused by the summary for What's in Oscar's Trash Can?... is that the description from the book? Also, I don't understand what you mean on Ernie Follows His Nose... was it originally published under that title in 1990? Was it another book? Do you have an ISBN? Also, your description of Hide-and-Seek Safari sounds a little POV; could you take a look at that? —Scott ( talk ) 03:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * What's in Oscar's Trash Can? yes that is the summary from the back of the book. I have it. Yes the Ernie Follows His Nose yes it was originally published under the title in 1990. It has the same cover just different color on the background. I don't know what ISBN or POV stand for? Sorry if i can't seem to do anything good with discribing books. I'm trying my best. -- Kyle 9:12, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand you're doing your best. We shouldn't really copy the descriptions from the back of the book though. If you have the book, can you try to briefly summarize it? POV stand for Point of View; more accurately, the wiki needs to reflect a Neutral Point of View. Our entries can't sound like we're tossing our own opinions into the mix with real information. As for ISBN, every book ha sa number assigned to it. Most book entries here on the wiki have catalogued them in the template you see on the right of the page. I tried looking for an earlier print of Ernie Follows His Nose, but couldn't find one. If you could post the ISBN number on the version you have, that would be helpful. —Scott ( talk ) 03:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Kyle, please respond here so that the conversation stays in one place. What I'm asking for is the ISBN number that's printed on the version of Ernie Follows His Nose that's sitting on your lap. Use your keyboard to type the numbers and letters onto the screen so that we can see them here. —Scott ( talk ) 03:38, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I found the 1990 listing for Ernie and his nose on alibris with the ISBN; it was also released in 1999. I'll add it to the page; Kyle if you can find the number on your copy (it's usually on the copyright page, or sometimes the back cover) and confirm that it matches that'd be a great sanity check.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:56, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. Here it is. 0-307-12321-9 --Kyle 09:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Great! —Scott ( talk ) 04:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Scott. I had started writing my own summary of What's in Oscar's Trash Can? and someone deleted it. I was really getting into it and now it's gone. I didn't get to save it. I was really making it my own words and not back of the book. --Kyle 10:04, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry you lost your work, but no one here deleted it. As you can see by the page history, it appears you didn't save it. Page edits can only be deleted if they've been saved. —Scott ( talk ) 04:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The only reason i said that was when i got a message it said it was being worked on another member or something like that. So it's alright. I'll see what i can do. Thanks again Scott and sorry if i've been to much trouble. --Kyle 10:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Knickerbocker
Hi, Kyle! Are you still planning to add anything to Knickerbocker Sesame Street dolls soon? Since I've been trying to cut down on short pages, and pure stubs. Let me know what your plans are, since if you're having trouble creating pages, it's easy to recreate it when you're ready to add content. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Andrew Leal (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:29, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

page edits
Kyle, just so you know, we have a sandbox where you can try out page edits until you know that something tricky you're trying to do will work. You don't have to keep saving the page -- in fact, you can also preview your changes before you save the page to see what it will look like. Let me know if you have any questions. — Scott ( talk ) 16:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

pictures of books
Thanks for the picture of Baby Fozzie Visits the Doctor, but as you can see, The Amazing Mumford Forgets the Magic Words! already has a picture. — Scott ( talk ) 04:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I wanted to let you know that I was putting up another version that had a little Sesame Street logo about the 10th season. I just thought I would put it on there just for another not so different cover. That's all. Sorry. -- User:Grover 23:11, January 30, 2007


 * We don't need two pictures of the same book. — Scott ( talk ) 04:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
