scripts to do

 * Little Bird in Episode 0396
 * guide for Episode 0316 (contrast with Episode 0394)
 * Officer Krupky — Episode 0441 and Episode 1703
 * early episodes for "Sing"
 * episodes associated with proto-Grover — first: Episode 0125
 * Sally Ride episodes
 * The Beatles
 * Grundgetta episodes: Episode 1400 and Episode 1443
 * "Someday, Little Children"
 * Joey Calvan: Episode 0671, Episode 0688 (might be her)
 * Young Harold Hooper flashback in Episode 1418 (actor credited)


 * Suzanne Farrell
 * "At the Barre" with Telly and Herry from Episode 1552
 * "At the Barre" in Episode 1750 names Grover and Herry (same as 1552, script intern messed up)
 * firsts for some of her segments


 * Stumping cat
 * Talk:Episode 0021 E&B
 * Talk:Episode 0024 E&B
 * Talk:Episode 0031 Kermit
 * Talk:Episode 0038 E&B
 * Talk:Episode 0039 Kermit
 * Talk:Episode 0078 E&B
 * Talk:Episode 0125 Grover
 * "G for Grover" also in Episode 0159 and Episode 0209
 * "Hey Frog" (haven't found any others)


 * Geometry of Circles — Episode 1392


 * Starship Surprise
 * 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 could she have been replaced by Battle?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.

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?)

EKAs and Firsts
scripts that note Muppet and Cast segment FIRSTs:
 * seasons 1-11

scripts that note Muppet, Cast, Film, and Animation FIRSTs:
 * 12 • 13 • 14 • 15 — (1446-1965)

scripts that only note the premiere season for all segments followed by a reference number (maybe a reel designation or just an assigned number):
 * 16-end

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. Producers may have quickly shifted based on letters as Susan is in a nurse's uniform as early as Episode 0125. She also has a segment in that episode where she makes a point to note that some women have jobs outside of the home.


 * open question: Susan calls the Two-Headed Monster "Bill-Bill" in the Episode 1712 script. Did this carry over to the finished product and we have yet another set of names for him/them?

Thread links fix
Thread:Aleal/@comment-Scarecroe-20141011024515/@comment-Aleal-20141011034043
 * 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 0838
 * 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.

WYSIWYG
Good reminders that Wikia's two WYSIWYG editors are garbage:
 * 
 * 
 * 

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.
