    The Classic Electric Company Memories Thread

    I don't remember that one at all, but wow Luis sure did play a dumb robber a lot. The "Pinocchio" Very Short Book I mentioned I had forgotten the ending to. Well with the "Little Miss Muffet" one, it's the opposite. I remember the ending but not what was before it! Lee Chamberlain was Little...

    The corny joke thread

    From "Green Acres" (where there were numerous corny jokes but nevertheless hilarious; at least to me as a huge fan of the show): Mr. Kimball goes up to a secretary at her desk and says, "I'm Mr. Kimball. I have an appointment." The secretary says, "What's your first name?" He says, "Hank. Want...

    The Classic Electric Company Memories Thread

    Ahhh, thank you! It comes back to me a bit now. After Pinocchio said he had an elephant sandwich for lunch, the next page said, "Pinocchio's nose DIDN'T grow" (I'm picturing that perhaps Luis Avalos put his hand over his nose to feel if it grew at all) and then the final page said, "But the...

    The Classic Electric Company Memories Thread

    I remember that one very well. Up to the shovel part. Never could recall what came next. The shy shortstop vaguely comes back, thank you! I recall Morgan saying, "A ship?" And then rather alarmed saying, "A shark!" I'm thinking the shadowy shark closed its jaws and that there was a sound...

    Snow man and Snow woman

    Another classic clip I haven't seen since probably the 70's is the snow man and snow woman. Couldn't find it on youtube or anything about it on the web search. Searching for "snowwoman" here at the forum, I found this quote I made about it way back in 2005: "Remember the one with the snowman...

    First Middle Last (3 frogs)

    Yes that's right, there have been a few others over the last few years I doubted I'd get to see again. :) Maybe someone with some old VHS tapes of SS who hasn't yet put them on youtube will do so at some point. Or maybe we will get some more Old School SS dvds released at some point again.

    First Middle Last (3 frogs)

    Thanks Kathy, same to you! Yeah the English version of "What will we do tomorrow, Bert" I remember pretty well from the 70's and, I think, early 80's. But on youtube there's only a German version available. So I guess I can't say I haven't SEEN it in over 30 years anymore, but rather, I haven't...

    First Middle Last (3 frogs)

    Hi fuzzygobo. Yes, I'm older than you but that's only because I was born first. (Got that line from All in the Family when Archie said that in response to Edith saying, "Well you're older than me"). Well I'm happy you at least vaguely recall this sketch. I figured I couldn't be the only one in...

    First Middle Last (3 frogs)

    Here's an obscure animated sketch I thought of. Saw it several times in the early 70's. Haven't seen it since. No videos of it and couldn't even find anything about it in this forum or a google search. A simple and short sketch, it had 3 animated frogs next to each other. The one on the left...

    The one Ernie and Bert skit I can never find:

    Searching on google for that David and Maria eating spaghetti skit, the only thing I could see coming up was my post about it over 12 years ago. Here's what I said then: "Here's a classic sketch with David and Maria I liked. They are in a restaurant and both order a bowl of spaghetti. Maria...

    The one Ernie and Bert skit I can never find:

    I saw that youtube got that one in German a while ago. Be nice to see that in English again. My highlight from that one was Bert saying in reply to Ernie's, "He's so busy chewing (the bubblegum) that he can't bite you", "That is the DUMBEST thing I have EVER heard." I saw the Grover serves...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Okay, I don't think any of the classic moog puzzle segments were brought up on this thread yet. So HERE is the classic one with Ernie. It's been on youtube for several months now, but it's fun to listen to again and hear the sounds of the synthesizer and the puzzle pieces moving around. The...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Thanks Skye, Ilikemuppets, and redBoobergurl. Today was very painful. She was pretty distant. I guess she's okay with us just bascially saying hello when we meet. So much for the friendship she said she would always cherish. That's the way it goes. Can suddenly be dropped like a hot potato...

    How's the weather where you are?

    I got shocking news today from a friend of hers. She got engaged on February 14th. I know she has had an on again off again relationship with a boyfriend that has been real rocky, but she hasn't mentioned him in a long time. So here she's not only with him but now gonna marry him. I'm pretty...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well we were both off today so didn't get to see her. She's off tomorrow too so Friday's the next time I see my lovely one. :) Good she has two days off though, in case she is still feeling under the weather. But I sure miss her. Yeah you're right, just keep doing what makes her the...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Thanks once again so much, Skye. I really appreciate all your nice encouraging thoughtful reponses. :) Today my baby was sick with a stomach virus and went home half way through. But one very special thing this morning was our department had a meeting for about an hour. It was at 10am. So at...

    Top 5 Sesame Street one-liners

    My signature before had Bert's line, "Well how many do you expect him to drop, four shoes? Eh eh eh eh eh!" (responding to Ernie saying every night the guy upstairs drops two shoes). "I can't hear you, there's a banana in my ear!" I would say is one of the most memorable for many folks...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well I'm glad to say it's not cold here. Philly reached 67. It was cloudy instead of sunny like yesterday, but the rain has held up so far all day. I just got back from another nice power walk after work.
