True Story, my mother bought me this rain coat, although it was blue. I was eight and the one time I wore it home I kept thinking “My mom is having problems with me getting older”. I’m lucky none of my buddies who were busy with grown up things such as KISS records saw me. […]
I’m sure most people recognize the Sesame Street Clubhouse from Fisher Price but I’ve never seen the cardboard playset before. It makes Sesame Street look more like Mayberry than the urban setting it was, what’s with all the grass and trees? I still my own talking Ernie (he’s not as minty as the one featured […]
A match made in heaven… I am so digging that orange Ernie sweater, it never ends with Sesame Street clothing. Today’s sole DVD release that I feel like blabbing about is this Rodan/War of the Gargantuas double feature. Both of these movies were part of “Monster Week” growing up and are somewhat responsible for my […]

That’s some sort of “Build a Muppet” that CG was selling at the time. Expect another Sesame Street Week this May, it’s long overdue.Links of interest: […]

ToyFair 1974: There is no limit to the amazing amount of Sesame Street products made in the 1970s, these puppets were some of the more memorable items.
You can’t go wrong with a whole page of Sesame Street goodness like this 1978 Eatons Circular has. I still have my Fisher Price clubhouse and my kids use it every day. I do however find the Bert and Ernie Puppets on this page slightly disturbing. “Aaaaaaaggggghhhh!”
Try saying that five times fast, I think I would buy these today in adult sizes but nobody ever makes a decent slipper in a 15 wide. I never tire of Sesame Street merchandise, which is good because I have material to blog for ten years about it.
Castle Dracula will be a mess of cookie crumbs and blood tonight. Tough choice for 70’s parents, huggable old cookie monster or a plush lord of the undead? Nowadays Drac would be a big seller at Hot Topic.
