- May 20 • The Muppet Show: Season Three was released on DVD today. All 24 episodes of The Muppet Show in its third year, featuring Cheryl Ladd, Jean Stapleton's team-up with Crazy Harry, the debut of Lew Zealand, the Muppet version of Robin Hood, and more. If that's not enough, the DVD includes Rowlf's commercials for Purina and The Muppets on Puppets. Yaaaaay!
- May 19 • "Sing" is Joe Raposo's famous exhortation to sing a song (a simple one to last your whole life long, even). The song has been performed countless times on Sesame Street and related specials, including several celebrity rounds. It's been adapted for Spanish and American Sign Language and was famously covered by the Carpenters.
- May 18 • Ed Grimley: Flash back yet again to the 1980s, when Martin Short's Ed Grimley character was a beloved icon and popped up all over the air-waves, from SCTV to Saturday Night Live to his own Saturday morning cartoon. Naturally, he dropped by Sesame Street during this time. In 1996, in his last known television appearance to date, Ed Grimley surfaced on Muppets Tonight, in which he weds Miss Piggy in a quicky marriage (performed by Ed's goldfish).
- May 17 • Law & Order, the long-running police procedural franchise set in New York City, shares studio space at Kaufman-Astoria with Sesame Street. As a result, many Sesame cast members have appeared in tertiary episodic roles on the various L&O shows. In reruns, keep an eye out for Sonia Manzano on the witness stand, Roscoe Orman as a judge, Emilio Delgado an attorney, Alison Bartlett a police officer, and Fran Brill as the defendant's mother (twice!) To return the favor, Sesame Street spoofed Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as "Special Letters Unit," with particular emphasis on the show's infamous transition sound. Chung-chung!
