List of episodes
editIs there a list of episodes for Sesame Street? If not, a list should be created.Cwater1 (talk) 03:55, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Cwater1, this is actually a question that comes up from time to time, although it's been a while. There has been a consenus to not create an episode list; see Talk:Sesame Street/Archive 3#Episode page, which explains the reasons. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 04:41, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- I see the point now. It would be a lot to fill since there are now 52 seasons which 53 coming soon. There is the Muppet wiki that has the episode guide. It was just an idea. It's a good thing I brought it up on the talk page rather than trying to create a list.Cwater1 (talk) 05:52, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Cwater1, it wasn't a horrible question. ;) Yes, it would have been a total waste of your valuable time! 'Cause more than likely someone (like me) would've reverted it. There are so many other things to do here, especially with articles about The Show. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:15, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, Christine (Figureskatingfan). It has been quite a while. Just thought I come back and maybe see if just the list of seasons can be added, not the list of each episodes. I understand on why we are not adding the list of episodes. I am aware of Muppet Wiki like I said last time.

Cwater1 (talk) 04:43, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Cwater1, my feeling about episode lists is that I've always been against them. Of course, I was under the impression that episode lists refer to a list and description of each and every episode, like what Muppet Wiki does and what other WP articles about TV shows do (i.e., Ted Lasso#Episodes), and I'm still opposed to it because, as I've said, that would make this article way too large and unwieldy. However, now that you've demonstrated the chart above, I'm willing to change my position. I think that including the chart above into this article would be fine, but I also think that you need to find as many sources as possible for the dates. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 19:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- I can try to find good sources. There's nothing wrong with ideas. Wikipedia will always grow. Cwater1 (talk) 01:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Maybe a list of episodes isn't all that necessary. I don't think the Wheel of Fortune (US show) article covers every episode there was. I think the Dr. Phil show was the same way. The Ellen DeGeneres show has episodes for who was on there. I do wish you all happy editing. Cwater1 (talk) 19:50, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- I like the idea. I think that it's doable, although not likely a solo process. I'd be willing to work on it. Tvfunhouse (talk) 23:12, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Tune
editI'm under the impression that the Sesame Street tune is based on this song from 1964: The Boy from New York City. Should a reference be placed? WritersBlok (talk) 15:09, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Do you have a source for that claim, or is it just your original idea? Because the latter has no place in Wikipedia. I can hear some similarities, but without proof that it was an influence on the theme song, it's not appropriate to include. oknazevad (talk) 00:47, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
