    Did Grover eventually stop slapping Kermit?

    I remember a lot of times Grover would run up and slap Kermit's back in the early 70's. I don't think they ceased this due to concerns of it being a bad example because in the late 70's and 80's Grover got even more physical with Kermit, like pushing him down to the ground so he could put teeth...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Thanks Boober_Gorg. And for "Fancy" I should have said, "Dressed Up". For some reason that word "fancy" stuck in my mind. I was thinking he uses that word a lot in the song but recently found it on youtube and he only says it once!

    Jon Benet Ramsey Killer is arrested

    Right, there was just so many things the parents did that add to the suspicion they did it. Like refusing to be interviewed separately (so they wouldn't contradict each other's story), refusing for a long time to take a polygraph test and then finally having their own lawyer conduct it so they...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I just saw the clip and song by Joe Raposo "I'm in love with you pretty baby" with the two rhinos. It's been quite a long time since I've seen it but I remember it being shown a ton of times in the early to mid 70's. The uploaded clip is missing the last 20 seconds or so of the clip which Joe...

    Jon Benet Ramsey Killer is arrested

    I wasn't surprised the DNA didn't match. There were a lot of reasons it didn't look like Karr's confession was legit. Plus, I've always thought it likely for a lot of reasons that the parents were responsible for the murder. The whole incident is really sad. I know some people correctly point...

    Question about the CC on Sesame Street

    Hey that makes sense, ReneeLouvier. After all, what kids can understand audibly might be a little harder when trying to read it. I hadn't thought of that.

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    I'm sure I'll buy it too but I haven't yet pre-oredered it. I'm surprised that we still don't have any details (other than what we can surmise from titles like "Old School" and now "First Fiv" for the dvd set, and the running time being 300 minutes). I would think for a product scheduled for...

    Question about the CC on Sesame Street

    I noticed that for Sesame Street before, too. Around the mid to late 90's (when they still showed occasional 70's clips) I thought it'd be fun to use close captioning on classic clips and see how they did the words. I was surprised to see how condensed it was. Like I remember for the classic...

    Not getting new videos from Youtube

    But, alas, now it is back to not displaying the latest videos. No matter what subject, it only shows videos uploaded from over a day ago. Does anyone else have this occurring? Like for "Sesame Street" does it say 1432 videos and when you click on "date added" is the first video "Classic...

    Any football fans?

    Boooooooo Eagles! I live in Philadelphia but I'm a fan of their rival Washington Readskins (having used to live near DC as a child). It'll be interesting to see how the teams do this year. It seems like one of the most unpredictable seasons. The Eagles, who have been real good this decade had a...

    Not getting new videos from Youtube

    Well now it's working correctly for me again. I'm not sure whether it was just temporarly not working for me or if it was a glitch in the site that was affecting others too. It's the first time that had ever happened before. In any case, I'm happy to be able to see the newest uploaded clips...

    Not getting new videos from Youtube

    I tried to view the new videos of Sesame Street at youtube but when I click "date added" the most recent ones it gives are 6 days ago. I tried other subjects too (like Niagara Falls) and they also are from 6 days ago. But interestingly, if I click on a user's name it will display their most...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    This was my entry over a year ago when I first saw this thread. This sketch was the one that scared me the worst as kid. :) It's one that rarely ever gets talked about. And if it ever appears on youtube or on a classic SS dvd I bet I will mute the sound until the red muppet has raced up the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Ha ha, I had thought about pausing it and counting how many ther were too! Now that you said you did, I just viewed it again and did the same thing. I got 69. :) Back in the 70's when I saw this I had wondered if it was maybe an even hundred squares they used. It was good to see this classic...

    Bert's line in "Counting Sheep, Fire Engines..."

    I just played the clip on youtube. Boy it IS a tough one to decipher whether Bert said "None of those SIRENS" or "None of those SOUNDS"! I really can't tell. I tried listening for both words and can't say either one with certitude. It actually sounds like Frank Oz said a combination of the two...

    Baseball 2006

    Well here we are at this thread 2 months later. :) Well the Yankees and Red Sox are (as always!) in a battle for that division. Then we've got the surprise of 2006, the Detroit Tigers, still with the best record in the majors, maintaining a slight lead over last year's champion Chicago White...
