What are your favorite number segments?

[Chris Von Count]

does anybody have this film?

This has been driving my nuts for the past couple of days now and I was just wondering if anyone out there has this film? It was one of my favorites as a kid.
It is the one with the guy doing the 18 handsprings out in a yard. It has him standing out side a house or some building and he is wearing red swimming trunks with white polka dots on it, and then he starts to take some running steps forward he executes a cartwheel and then does back handsprings across the lawn while kids count the handsprings. Then at the end he crashes onto the ground on his hands and knees.

If anybody has this film, or knows where I can download it please email me, my email address is drwho762001us@yahoo.com I would apprciate any info, or replies very much. Thank you..

I remember "I've Got Two Eyes" from that old LP I had!

And yeah, the dollhouse one.

Wasn't there a Muppet & kid segment with this little girl (she sounded like a Brooklynite, maybe?) who said "everything is two with me"? And she named a few things... only at least one thing was not a two thing, and it was either something that there was only one of, or something that there was ten of. Or maybe there was one of one kind and one of the other.

I saw the one about how hard it is to be fifteen because you keep being forgotten. Really? Is the number 15 that hard? I can imagine forgetting 19, 17, or even 11 before I forgot 15... even before that song was added to SS. Did they take a poll?

Wow... just two pages and this is already a hot topic? Wow, I've got more hot topics here at MC than I realized... I feel so... important!

Looks like it was a hot topic a long time ago and somebody decided to revive it.

Here's another larger thread on the topic.

Here are mine:

0 - Cookie Monster's song about subtracting cookies (which is also about the number 0)

1 - Harvey Kneeslapper's "Would Ya Like 1?"
2 - Bellhop 2 Lost Kids In the Lobby
3 - the "1, 2, 3 (Hee hee hee!)" song
4 - 4 Big Lions
5 - Stencil # 5 on asphalt
6 - "6 Soccer Socks"

12 - The rocks (or Cocoa Puffs, as I used to think they were) in the desert
13 - 13 Hamburgers (computer-animated)
14 - "14 Ducklings In the Pot"
15 - No particular fave here, though I'd love to know what the "Forgotten # 15" skit was like
16 - "16 Blues" (although after seeing the Bellhop # 16 skit today on YouTube, that ranks as a close second; who ELSE would think of having a 13th floor on a kid's show? )
17 - 17 Derby Hats (computer-animated)
18 - Bellhop Telephone Message to Table 18
19 - 19 Popcorn Kernels (computer-animated)

20 (when sponsored) - Bellhop 20 Grapefruits
39 - Monsterpiece Theater "39 Stairs"
40 - 40 Dots

Well, that's about it fer now! (BTW, sorry I couldn't come up with better skits for 13, 17, and 19 but they were the only ones that came to mind.)

Of all the number segments, my favorite is the 1-2-3-4-5 piece animated by Jim Henson. That song is so catchy, it's hard to get it out of my head every now and then.

My bad, my REAL favorite "5" segment is Freddy the 5, not the stencil on asphalt one.
