Very nicely done video! I think the folks at Defunctland would really enjoy seeing this, and proud for its inspiration. This would be a great mini-series for anyone else who wants to explain the international co-productions to those interested.
@@sindrelf i am working on a video (on a different channel I am starting) where i go through each international co-production of sesame street as sort of a history and awareness thing. So this video was very cool to find and very useful. I myself am Canadian (which i am surprised to find out also had its own co-production of Sesame Street called Sesame Park)
The algorithm is spreading this video around to Norwegians recently it seems, judging by all the recent comments. What a blast from the past this was. The production quality we had for children's entertainment in the 90's was baffling, especially since the golden age of animation was around the same time. Very surprised and sad to hear they published so little material from this show.
Yeah, this really made me nostalgic for good barne-tv programs, plus a bit homesick since I lived relatively close to Lørenskog as a child. They'd stopped filming there by the time I was old enough to take the train alone, but man that train station was beautifully colourful and gloriously fun to look at. I hope both that all the episode made will be released eventually, and I hope they maintained the stations colour scheme.
Benny finally realized he was too old to do crime, and settled for legit work with NSB. Low risk, decent pay, and nobody at the station would call him an amateur, or a droopy ass. Fair trade-offs 😂
@@DrakeKillah Pretty sure it was Witness Protection. All that business with Dynamitt Harry got classified as terrorism, and the whole gang went down for life (i.e. 21 years in Norway). Benny flipped and got a new name.
I actually took this train quite a few times, as it would go from Lillehammer to Hunderfossen Family Park. You would be robbing a lot of kids and their parents, who would likely not bring a lot of valuables.
I love how Sesam Stasjon was made so different from the other regional versions of Sesame Street. Max Mekker was my favorite character by far. I still have the Max Mekker plushie I got as a kid!
My grandmother, rest her soul, lived in Oslo and we used to take with her from Gardermoen to Oslo and the train passed Sesam Stasjon on it's way to Oslo. Seeing this video sent me down memory lane and made me think of all of those trainrides with my gram. Put a smile on my face :)
No. It is, as the word says, a right. If you create something (and/or are artistic/financially responsible) you have the right to decide on its availability. Because making it in the first place and putting it to market (again) will cost something. Time, effort, money. And unless you are doing it on a charitable motif, you might want to make sure you at least break even on the costs. However fond people can be of what you have created, does not entitle them to 'have' it. And even if people are waving their money at you, it may not be a simple 1 + 1 = 2. Depending on the original contracts or current day sensibilities, actors, writers and other creatives might have a shared interest in any future money you're about to make. So there's a few things to consider.
@@jjwubs1638 in this example they are not going to make money on it. It's a tax founded channel that makes everything they make freely available on the internet. Except for stupid stuff like this where they spend lots of money creating a show that they don't have the right to share freely to those that paid for it with their taxes What is a right is just something that some people have agreed upon and made it a law or a rule. It's not something that is universally morally or logically true or false. We should try to follow it since we live in a society with other people. But we should also try to change fucked up stuff that needs to be changed. Stuff like copyright stopping people being able to buy an old show, or geo blocking stopping people from being able to buy something, or game companies taking down their services stopping people from playing the game they bought.
@@jjwubs1638 Nobody should have practically permanent right to an idea just because they put it together first. Even less so when its become a part of a culture. Rights should last long enough that money is earned, but should be released to public domain BEFORE it becomes culturally irrellevant and forgotten. What good is public domain if it contains only IPs thats already been milked by a single IP-holder for 100+ years and changed so much that theres nobody alive that remember the original anymore? I think there should be laxer rules for creating derived works and stricter for practically straight-up reselling copies, but that complicates the copyright rules a lot.
Nothing like going on a family car vacation, and having the smallest one insisting on playing the soundtrack on repeat. We even had to stop and buy a new tape, after the old one was worn out.
Ble faktisk trist å litt rørt når jeg forstod hvorfor det er så vanskelig å finne noe sesam stasjon relatert på internett. Det var et veldig gledelig gjensyn i filmen her med masse god fakta og underholdene innslag. Håper at flere deler denne filmen og at det kommer på plass en løsning som gjør at sesam stasjon igjen kan sees på tven av mindreårige ❤
Yeah, NRK definitely has this in full in their archives. Just a shame they don't have the rights to display the Norwegian version anymore, if only the genuinely Norwegian segments (without the dubbed English clips)
I took it during the Summer of 92 in Lillehammer. It went from the edge of town to Hunderfossen family park, as it only went between those two spots iirc
Sometimes the youtube algorithm actually recommends something great, and this is one of those days. This video, and your library in general, was an extremely cozy suprise of high quality. It is a damn shame that I haven't seen anything from you before. I was born in 1989, so I was at the perfect age when Sesam Stasjon ran on NRK. I loved the show and had a toy train, books and a stuffed Max Mekker (that's still at my parents' house) and even got to ride the train one time when it visited my town. There was also a person in a less-than-stellar Max Mekker-costume that even kid-me could see wasn't the real one, but I felt bad after pointing it out, as I wondered if he got sad. XD By the time Py showed up I was getting a bit too old for the show, and her inclusion really didn't help, but I was still sad to see the show go. I understand that there is probably way too much legal mumbo jumbo for it to ever happen, but it would be great if NRK at the very least became able to stream this show. It really is an important part of Norwegian TV-history, and still a quality kids-show that I'm sure kids today will also enjoy.
There's nothing more precious than the nostalgia of one's childhood. We have to get it back. Seeing the pinball animation again made the hairs at my back stand up!
Hadde vært så gøy om Sesam kom ut på dvd/blu ray en dag. Var i fjor så knallheldig å finne nesten alle cdeene som ble gitt ut en gang i tiden på Finn, og gud skal vite de har blitt spilt siden! ^^ Veldig leit at serien lider under disse copyright-issuene som de har gjort i så mange år. Vet om flere, meg selv sterkt inkludert, som hadde satt pris på å få sett serien opp igjen i sin fulle helhet!
Ja, vi er mange som hadde satt pris på å få sett og hørt serien ☺️ Har gjort alt jeg kan og brukt tusenlapper på digitalisering 🎬 Virkelig imponert over SESAM cd-samlingen din ⭐️ Vi kan fortsette å glede fansen om du skriver inn Google Drive-link etc. til mp3-filene, så kan jeg legge ut cd-ene i sin fulle helhet 😍
Det er lite interessant for nrk eller noen i kringkastningøverigheta å bringe frem igjen eller sett ved lys noe som helst som kan bevise at for at for bare få år siden var Norge et ekstremt mye mindre "multikulturelt" samfunn enn det som er viktig å få frem i dag. "Uffamei, nei alt for mange blonde og blå øyde mennesker foran kameraet her. Brenn alt"
Eyvind Skeie also was a writer for "Portveien 2" which you probably know if you're Norwegian and old enough to remember Sesam Stasjon. He is also actually a Lutheran priest and hymn writer, and many of his hymns as well as his children's TV work was scored by the composer Sigvald Tveit. "Visst skal våren komme", a choral work by Skeie and Tveit, is supposedly the most performed choral work in Norway. It's a work both bleak and beautiful, and catches the mood of the eighties in Norway pretty well, both the hope and the ever present threat of nuclear war (and it also has wonderfully 80s orchestration with guitars, marimba and accordeon)
Thing about the railway system in Norway is that you can only go halfway up the country by train. And many train stations further north just have really poor facilities. So the show is more indicative of southern Norway.
I disagree. First of all the train goes 2/3rd of the country. And most stops far north dont look rundown. Its the stops that are secluded that may look rundown. Down south most stop are in highly populated places. I feel like sesam stasjon is a village up north
@@kingkongkoalabjrn8050 Are there trains from the south that go further than Bodø? I couldn’t get further by train. I’d argue it looks a lot like areas a few areas just outside Trondheim which does have secluded areas.
@@alexbutnobody785 jupp around Trondheim and a little further north has these small train stop that reminds me of it. I live in trondheim atm and take the train both north and south every year so many small places reminde me of it. I know we have a data storage in Mo i Rana(in the mountain) where the show might have been stored aswell(a copy) . I have 2 friends working there. Maybe i can ask. I know alsmot all Norwegian media is copied and stored there, from old shows to every newspaper for a long long time
I ADORED the pinball counting song and video my entire childhood! 🤩 And I loved Sesam Stasjon as a whole. But especially the short videos. Like the "Fire elementer" (Four Elements) song 😂 I agree with the comment saying that this gives Defunctland vibes. And I love Defunctland, so... Great job! 😃
As an American who grew up during the era when Sesame Street was at its prime in the 80s and 90s, it's interesting to see how it was adapted for international audiences like this. The show still exists in the US but is nothing like what it used to be.
I grew up right outside Oslo (Oppgegård), next to the train tracks going out to Østfold, and would often watch the Sesam Stasjon train pass by. My dad still has some photographs of them I think. It felt so magical seeing them in real life
Nostalgia pang! Sesam Stasjon traff rett i min aldersgruppe, super kjekt å se gjengen igjen. Håper det blir noe interesse i å skaffe rettigheter til streaming eller blu-ray, trist hvis alt blir mistet.
Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't think about Northern Norway. But to be fair, NRK probably didn't either :P We unfairly forget about the difference up there a lot of the time. I have a Shorts video about Norwegian Christmas food, and the poll I got the stats from seemed to have completely forgotten to poll anyone in the North. So with that in mind, that could still be the reasoning for why they chose a train station as the setting.
I rember the show and cried when it ended, loved the show so much and if the seris come on DVD I'll spend what ever it takes to get is home. thank you so much for making this video
Really cool seeing someone making video essays on Norwegian television. I think there's a lot of shows that could be really cool to show the rest of the world 🥰 I've wanted to make a video essay about the show Mot I Brøstet for years, because it's so near and dear to me and a big part of my childhood growing up. But I fear I lack the necessary editing and production skills to make anything that would be enjoyable to watch 😆
I want to make a video about Brødrene Dal, but I have social anxiety so I don't dare to record my voice... 😢 While I could hire someone, will I be able to tell them how to pronounce Norwegian words through text only?
My grandma had a Max Mekker plush at her house. That poor guy is well loved by grandchildren and great grandchildren alike 😅 even if some of us never got to see the show for ourselvs
I grew up in the 2000's in Norway and remember this show very vaguely from my childhood. Thank you for reminding me of it! I also wasn't aware that it was that huge of a show back in the day. Very interesting to know!
I grew up watching the original version of the show, but I have seen my share of international co-productions of Sesame Street as a kid and later as a teen. My favorites being this, Iftah Ya Simsim in Kuwait, Sesamstraat in Holland, and Sesamstrasse in Germany (which I would regularly watch on a german online tv service I got on my smart tv). Sesame Street is just a wonderful tv show, and thanks for uploading this in-depth review of the norwegian version.
9:55 This! Great video. I grew up with this show. I remember those good ol' days. And still, to this day, I sometimes have some of the jingles and songs pop into my head.
I literally grew up a few minutes walking distance from Sesame Station, lol. It was my local train station. So… the show was indeed relatable… too relatable 🤣
I must’ve been 4-5 years old and my mother took me to Bergen from Trondheim. I remember going past this station as she yelled “sjå, det e Sesam Stasjon!» 😂 Haven’t thought about that memory in years and years 😅
I loved Sesam stasjon as a kid, as did all my friends. It was so well done, the humor, the characters, the warmth, and the intermitten shorts (all dubbed, of course) which I assume were from the orginal US Sesame Street, like Ernie and Bernt, and various cartoons.
You forgot to mention that O'Tidemand is really just an alias for the former getaway driver of the notorious criminal gang called "Olsenbanden". Imagine his stress when the police rocked up... Poor guy.
Sharing is caring! It really should be possible to access the series somehow. Many fond memories, and the production was usually very good all over! Bra video, mange gode minner dukker opp:)
Still remember i had a ride on the train. My classmate was the nephew of "Alfa". And once dad brought me to see th station irl. I was so shocked when i walked around the corner and saw it
6:40 - 6:47 I remember Harald Maele has norwegian voices for Mickey, Goofy, Bagheera, Scrooge McDuck, Bugs Bunny, Pumbaa and many more american characters.
I also grew up with this and lowed it so much! Sidenote: Its only when I see comparisons with international counterparts like this, that I realize how strange we Norwegians actually are😊I bet people from other countries would appreciate the Norwegian Sesamy Station as well, with subtitles or dub ofc.
Let's hope this gets the right amount of attention it needs! I think NRK has the responsibility to do something about the copyright lock and take contact with the owner. The owner would never see the actual value of this, and if they never get contacted about this no effort would be taken either.
I was too young to remember much from this show, but its a real shame its almost wholly lost media now. Also trippy watching clips from this as i live in the town where the station was located.
It's also one of few Norwegian franchises to have actual merchandise. I remember having a duvet cover and an Alfa plush, but there was more than that. I miss the series a lot sometimes.
Sesam Stasjon was truly a big part of my childhood in the early/mid 90's. I honestly did not know about the licensing issues, but that may explain why I couldn't find Sesam Stasjon on any streaming services when I looked for it
Enn at denne videoen kom på feeden min 3 år etter når jeg aldri her sett på noe lignende på youtube :P Godt laget dokumentasjon og 100%, min sønn er nå for gammel for dette, men som en som vokste opp med Sesam Stasjon hadde dette definitivt vært en DVD jeg hadde kjøpt til han som barn og kost meg med å se sammen med han.
I was lucky enough to be among the kindergarden children that had the chance to visit the station in 1991 and meet the muppets and the actors. I also had the chance to ride on the special train that they made for the show.
I would no doubt buy the whole thing if it came out as DVD. I’m studying to become a machine engineer today because of this show 😁 it will always mean so much to me and I miss it dearly ❤ please please please release it from its copyright prison 💔
I loved Sesam Stasjon as a child and think a lot of people would appreciate the box set. But it really wasn't that insane. The sensationalistic title puts me a little on edge. But thanks for making content with heart
Glad you liked it :) Title was the only way to get RUclips to show it around. It was The Norwegian Sesame Street for three years stuck at 10K, rest I've gotten in a week. Gotta play the game :/
Very nicely done video! I think the folks at Defunctland would really enjoy seeing this, and proud for its inspiration. This would be a great mini-series for anyone else who wants to explain the international co-productions to those interested.
Thanks :D
Yeah, I hope people from other countries that had/have co-productions join in and make a video like this. I'd love to see that!
@@sindrelf Also, thanks for adding captioning and subtitles; they're very helpful with bridging these co-productions together.
Oh, no problem.
I do that with all my video essays.
RUclips's auto-subtitles does not work well with non-English names and stuff like that.

Bedre sent enn aldri.
I really enjoyed learning about the history of Sesame Street in Norway. Out of curiosity, is the stasjon in Lørenskog still painted the same way?
Yeah, this really made me nostalgic for good barne-tv programs, plus a bit homesick since I lived relatively close to Lørenskog as a child. They'd stopped filming there by the time I was old enough to take the train alone, but man that train station was beautifully colourful and gloriously fun to look at.

All praise the algorithm!
having grown up in Norway for almost 30 years now... i've never noticed that NRK sounds like Anarchy when you say it in english xD
ahnarhkayh😂
So far from anarchy tho 😅
I have been saying this for 2 decades
If the entire show came out on DVD, I'd be throwing my credit card at them.
Absolutely, easiest purchase of my life
Why didn't Benny together with Egon Olsen ever rob this train? He clearly had alot of inside information.
Benny finally realized he was too old to do crime, and settled for legit work with NSB. Low risk, decent pay, and nobody at the station would call him an amateur, or a droopy ass. Fair trade-offs 😂
@@DrakeKillah Pretty sure it was Witness Protection. All that business with Dynamitt Harry got classified as terrorism, and the whole gang went down for life (i.e. 21 years in Norway). Benny flipped and got a new name.

I love how Sesam Stasjon was made so different from the other regional versions of Sesame Street. Max Mekker was my favorite character by far. I still have the Max Mekker plushie I got as a kid!
Max is a legend!

My grandma had a Max Mekker plush at her house. That poor guy is well loved by grandchildren and great grandchildren alike 😅 even if some of us never got to see the show for ourselvs
As a Swedish citizen living on the border of Norway in the time of the shows running, I was able to watch the show, and boy, do I miss it.😢
Well this was a video I didn't expect I would finish. Nice work, never knew it has that many episodes or how the IP is lost in limbo.
I grew up in the 2000's in Norway and remember this show very vaguely from my childhood. Thank you for reminding me of it! I also wasn't aware that it was that huge of a show back in the day. Very interesting to know!
Herlig video. Takk for at du engasjerer deg i en sak folk flest bryr seg om, men uten at de vet det selv.
That hit me right in the childhood,
the nostalgia is real! 🥰
You've earned yourself a sub with this video. 😀
Bra video! Viktig kulturhistorie.❤
I was too young to watch the show, but everyone still knew about Max Mekker
It was grate! Wholesome and somewhat educational.We the kids loved it! Its outright insane they are not releasing it. I would love to buy merch!
Really well made mini documentary. I had no idea these were the reasons I haven't seen it around in ages.
I grew up watching the original version of the show, but I have seen my share of international co-productions of Sesame Street as a kid and later as a teen. My favorites being this, Iftah Ya Simsim in Kuwait, Sesamstraat in Holland, and Sesamstrasse in Germany (which I would regularly watch on a german online tv service I got on my smart tv). Sesame Street is just a wonderful tv show, and thanks for uploading this in-depth review of the norwegian version.
9:55 This!
Great video.
I grew up with this show. I remember those good ol' days.
And still, to this day, I sometimes have some of the jingles and songs pop into my head.
This unlocked some memories buried deep within. I vaguely recognize the muppets and intro song.
I literally grew up a few minutes walking distance from Sesame Station, lol. It was my local train station. So… the show was indeed relatable… too relatable 🤣
Someone's holding a Norwegian National treasure as a proverbial hostage, and they don't want our money?
Absolutely preposterous. Great video!
I must’ve been 4-5 years old and my mother took me to Bergen from Trondheim.
I remember going past this station as she yelled “sjå, det e Sesam Stasjon!» 😂
Haven’t thought about that memory in years and years 😅
I loved Sesam stasjon as a kid, as did all my friends. It was so well done, the humor, the characters, the warmth, and the intermitten shorts (all dubbed, of course) which I assume were from the orginal US Sesame Street, like Ernie and Bernt, and various cartoons.
"Muehehehehe!" XD Hadde helt glemt Max sin latter.
i watched the reruns of the show as a kid, man the nostalgia
You forgot to mention that O'Tidemand is really just an alias for the former getaway driver of the notorious criminal gang called "Olsenbanden". Imagine his stress when the police rocked up... Poor guy.
Benny got flashbacks the moment he saw the boys in blue 😂
Bet Benny snitched on Olsenbanden and Sesam Stasjon is really about his witness protection program
aaaaah..... What a feeling, you brought back my childhood memories I had totally forgotten about! :D Thank you good sir!
Sharing is caring! It really should be possible to access the series somehow. Many fond memories, and the production was usually very good all over! Bra video, mange gode minner dukker opp:)
This is some top notch nostalgia.... Well done! 🙏🏼❤️
i was born in 1927 and remember watching this as a kid, god bless =)
Time traveler? :P
What a blast from the past. Would love to watch this again even as an adult. Say no to copyright-jail! #FreeSesamStasjon
Still remember i had a ride on the train. My classmate was the nephew of "Alfa". And once dad brought me to see th station irl. I was so shocked when i walked around the corner and saw it
10:38 so thats where Space X got the Starship design idea
I remember it disappearing when I was young, and the show is a very fond memory, thank for the video! Now I know what happened
6:40 - 6:47 I remember Harald Maele has norwegian voices for Mickey, Goofy, Bagheera, Scrooge McDuck, Bugs Bunny, Pumbaa and many more american characters.
Oh, cool!
He was also Junior Gorg on the one Fraggle Rock season that was dubbed to Norwegian.
@@sindrelf Okey, nice!
Fragglene!!
There was a Norwegian biker club named Dozer MC also .
Stemmen til Harald Mæhle vil for Alltid være en ro i sjela mi, jeg har så mange positive minner fra tv og kassetter/Disney lydbøker.
I also grew up with this and lowed it so much!
Sidenote: Its only when I see comparisons with international counterparts like this, that I realize how strange we Norwegians actually are😊I bet people from other countries would appreciate the Norwegian Sesamy Station as well, with subtitles or dub ofc.
Let's hope this gets the right amount of attention it needs! I think NRK has the responsibility to do something about the copyright lock and take contact with the owner. The owner would never see the actual value of this, and if they never get contacted about this no effort would be taken either.
I was too young to remember much from this show, but its a real shame its almost wholly lost media now.
Also trippy watching clips from this as i live in the town where the station was located.
Free Sesam Stasjon!!!!
Hadde vært herlig å få tilgang på alle episodene!
It's also one of few Norwegian franchises to have actual merchandise. I remember having a duvet cover and an Alfa plush, but there was more than that. I miss the series a lot sometimes.
Wow that’s so cool! Didn’t know there was a Norwegian version :)
Theres are like 43 international versions of sesame street
If you thought Sesam Stasjon was insane, just wait until you discover Sasem Stosjan.
Great video! Good job on the nostalgia trip.
Sesam Stasjon was truly a big part of my childhood in the early/mid 90's. I honestly did not know about the licensing issues, but that may explain why I couldn't find Sesam Stasjon on any streaming services when I looked for it
Wow! The way they adapted this is fascinating. Great video!
Please, please, PLEASE do not let Sesam Stasjon become lost media😢
Here is hoping the show can be freed and made available to those who loved and are nostalgic for it!
Så gøy å se norske temaer i run through videoer! Knall bra video. Abonnerer med en gang
Enn at denne videoen kom på feeden min 3 år etter når jeg aldri her sett på noe lignende på youtube :P
Godt laget dokumentasjon og 100%, min sønn er nå for gammel for dette, men som en som vokste opp med Sesam Stasjon hadde dette definitivt vært en DVD jeg hadde kjøpt til han som barn og kost meg med å se sammen med han.
I actually saw one of those train carts passing by as a kid. I had outgrown the show at that point, but the moment stuck with me nonetheless.
Even though I was born in the late 90s, I vividly remember this show, and would love to see a BlueRay/DvD release of the whole show one day.
I would absolutely want to see the show again. The four available on NRK Web gave me an appetite to see even more. Hopefully one day...
Oh man....Max Mechas laugh....damn that brought me back!
Sweet video! Crossing my fingers from Denmark!
I was lucky enough to be among the kindergarden children that had the chance to visit the station in 1991 and meet the muppets and the actors. I also had the chance to ride on the special train that they made for the show.
I didnt see this vid before now, 3years later=/ but would be rly awesome if they made this available to watch again, so much nostalgia
Yeah, I remember watching this when I was a kid. My favourite character was the big blue guy.
I would no doubt buy the whole thing if it came out as DVD. I’m studying to become a machine engineer today because of this show 😁 it will always mean so much to me and I miss it dearly ❤ please please please release it from its copyright prison 💔
Good video. Yes a DVD set would be great.
I loved Sesam Stasjon as a child and think a lot of people would appreciate the box set.
But it really wasn't that insane. The sensationalistic title puts me a little on edge. But thanks for making content with heart
Glad you liked it :)
Title was the only way to get RUclips to show it around. It was The Norwegian Sesame Street for three years stuck at 10K, rest I've gotten in a week.
Gotta play the game :/
Good video, childhood memories being dug up, i had no idea this was borderline lost media nowadays.
Faktisk sjukt at denne serien er låst vekk fra oss
Godt laga video. Internasjonal kvalitet. Gjerne kom med flere! 🙏🏻
I was raised in right in Lørenskog, I can't believe I never knew that sesam stasjon was filmed there... :0
