    Yeah the cold altering his voice is another possibility. :) Someday if we get to see this on dvd, PBS, etc. we'll get to try and re-decipher it.

    SS question on game show today

    Just came across a link for a sound clip of Kermit helping Jon Stewart with a $300 question about what flavor Sprite is, lemon and _____ . Not sure if it will play from here though: http://www.leenite.org/jonisland/wavs/million/m300q.wav

    Good-bye garbage

    You know, I can't really remember the sound of the voice of the guy asking the SS humans those questions, however I remember a closing line that might have been in this segment that goes, "Ah, that's the idea." And that does sound like Jerry Nelson. If he said this line it was him being pleased...

    big Bigger BIGGEST

    Hey I just noticed that mikebennidict and mikealan already had threads about big bigger and biggest skits. Sorry about that guys, I would have posted on one of those had I noticed them at the time.

    SS Westerns

    Seems like I've seen that one but just isn't coming back to me enough. By the way, a quick question speaking of Fred the Wonder Horse. Was that him in that song with a SS human woman who did that song, "Horse sense"? I think they looked similar, but not sure.

    You betcha that's ok, Vibs. Great to have Denmark on the expanding list now. By the way, I'll bet it'll be hard to get Hawaii on this list. Reason I say, in the three years I've had my computer all the interactive places I've visited, like yahoo games, sports chat sites, forums, etc. I've...

    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    Oh yes you are exactly right, Xerus. And then you have the numerous times Ernie refers to Bert as his "ol buddy Bert". Plus the time when Ernie asks Bert to share his cookie with him he says, "That's what friends are for". I definitely don't think they are brothers. I just wondered if anyone...

    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    Yeah I thought about that possibility and it makes sense. It's just that I could have sworn Bert said the word "some" before brother, instead of "oh". But I may be wrong. I'd be curious to see what others who have seen this skit, like Xerus, Sesame Mike, fuzzygobo, mikebennidict, and GeeBee...

    Good-bye garbage

    Also brings to mind a sketch I saw circa 1974 where an unseen voice asks the SS humans like Luis one by one who made such a mess of trash on the ground. They all kept saying, "Not me, I only threw this one bag, candy wrapper, etc. on the ground"). Then the point is made that thinking you can...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Oh boy, about an hour ago the power suddenly went off. When it gets this hot these darn power failures can happen since everyone in Philly is draining the power supply by putting their A/C on full blast 24/7. Thankfully, it was just out an hour. Power failures really bring to mind how much we...

    Luis and Maria sketch

    Yes and also done by "The Three Stooges". But now we're probably digressing too far from Luis and Maria. :)

    How's the weather where you are?

    And the hottest day of the year has arrived in Philly at 97F (about 36C) with high humidity making it feel well over 100. Almost a repeat for tomorrow, then some nice relief for at least the next five days --- low 80's and low(er) humidity. Can't get here too soon! Not much food consumption...

    SS question on game show today

    Is B your final answer? ...... Okay, then ................ You just won $2000! "Cheers and applause" Very good, Count! Yes, these are new episodes. They make new shows with Meredith Viera from "The View" as the host now, instead of Regis Philbin. But I remember the celebrity shows with...

    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    I know Ernie and Bert are friends and not brothers (eg. "My ol' buddy Bert"), but there's one skit from about 1971 or 1972 where Bert is in bed sick and Ernie comes in and tells him that he heard someone in the neighborhood is sick. Ernie is so clueless to Bert's obvious signs of sickness and he...

    Luis and Maria sketch

    That's pretty interesting, fuzzygobo. Ernie Kovacs is one old entertainer I've heard good things about but never really saw any of his acts so I didn't know he had this train bit. :) The coyote and roadrunner also had this where the coyote places a picture of a tunnel on a rock. The roadrunner...

    SS question on game show today

    Correct again, of course. Now here's another question on "Millionaire" I just saw. Only worth $2000 so still pretty easy. One of 2004's hottest toys features Elmo singing "E-L-M-O", a modified version of what song? A. R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. B. Y.M.C.A. C. Lola...

    WOO-HOO! I'm at 1000!

    Congratulations, D'Snowth! I'm looking forward to the day when I'll be a senior member. (Of course, since Fred Ziffel was over 80, in a way I can already say, "Ziffel is a senior member!")

    Your Favorite Cartoons on Sesame Street

    Not sure if I know that one. Another cartoon I don't think was mentioned before had a guy on the second floor trying to sleep but he kept being disturbed from a guy above him and a guy below him. One would snore and the other would sneeze. I think his lines to these guys were, "Please don't...
