    A request: B and D sketches

    Hi My 5-year-old niece is apparently having trouble differentiating between the lowercase b and lowercase d. I thought to myself: Where better to go in this situation than to Sesame St? I was wondering if anyone could recall any sketches, either in the current series or the classic series...

    Video of Elmo with Richard Hunt's voice

    When I first saw the thread title I had visions of Elmo speaking with a pompous Don-Music like voice (chuckle). But Elmo sounding like the two-headed monster was just as good! Thanks for sharing...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Bear with me, it's my first post. What a place to start! I think these all would have been mentioned at least once over the last decade, but here are my nominations anyway (in no particular order): 1) The sound of B with the Beautiful Day Monster - especially the last few seconds where BDM...
