You know the drill. Fire away. The deeper the questions, the better the answers.

Besides Up, Up and Away....

What are some Sesame Street skits you wish to see again one day?

How would you rank all of the Beatles albums from worst to best?

Thanks to YouTube, the Bucket List is getting shorter.
In recent years, the two biggest scores were "The Boy, Girl, and the Jellybeans", and the Mummenschanz " Same and Different ".

There is one skit from Season 2 or 3. Here's the deal:

Frank played Little Red Riding Hood, who had to chop down a tree for firewood. But the tree she was about to cut down was the home of a bird (Jerry Nelson) who was tearfully begging her not to.
Jim played a troll (looks like a very ugly Mahna Mahna) egging her on to swing the axe.
Somehow the drama spills over into two parts. Red can't decide what to do, the bird is crying, and the troll threatens if Red doesn't chop the tree, he will.
Then, in a surprise twist, there's an explosion, and when the smoke clears, the troll turns into Prince Charming. Red hands him the Axe, and tells him to get some firewood, but spare the tree, and the bird's feelings.
So Red goes home, Prince stands there dumbfounded, and the bird is saved the hassle of filling out Section 8 housing forms.

This skit does exist. Dantecat once posted a still photo, but this skit, only those my age even know it exists. Unless Muppet Wiki says otherwise.

This is up on YouTube if you haven't already seen it.... Unfortunately, it's not in English.

But yeah, I thought he also looked like Mahna Mahna/Bip Bippadotta in his orange days.
