It would probably have to be his botched water stunt in Manhattan. Not only does he make the thing utterly ridiculous to watch in the first place, but then given how miserably he fails at it and gets nothing more than a free trip across the lake the hard way, it sums up everything about him as...

I guess this means we'll have less to worry about with other Rowlf footage from the day that may come to market. :sympathy:

I always wished that pinball machine was real so I could have it, although given all the levels it had it might well be twenty feet tall in real life. It's easy to see why many fans rate it so highly; it's the perfect blend of animation and music that teaches well too. My favorite was #11...

Perhaps Animal's another species of Whatever, one that several thousand years ago broke away from Gonzo's race and evolved into an Animal-esque being. :halo:

Certainly Cartoon Network and the Disney Channel among others, both now in need of serious defibrilation.

I had one of them with it, in fact. Ernie and Bert's cowboy talk before and as they sang it was quite amusing.

And actually, having looked at it again, I can answer my own question, since I noticed a clear video edit now once the camera closes on the record player and stops for a brief moment. So they probably did film the rest first and waited for the train to come, whereat they'd only have to zoom in...

I do distinctly remember the eclipse episode, with Telly donning a suit of armor for protection in case the worst happens (and a whistle in case he needed to get someone's attention in crisis). Another one I liked was where I think it was Maria read him an audio book of a storm hitting a...

At which point in the presentation was it?--didn't quite make it out the first time around. Also, you have to wonder how some of the schematics for the float worked, if there were puppeteers underneath it somewhere or if it was largely remote controlled.

I recently had one where the entire gang was participating in Bob Barker's soon to be final Price Is Right episode (don't we all wish?). Kermit and Guy Smiley of course co-hosted it with Bob, Doc announced, Sam the Eagle was director (which led to several moments of course where he ended up...

Better late than never I always figure. Better to get them later than not at all.

Wasn't it briefly packaged as such in the mid 80s or so?

I guess they no longer classify Emmett Otter as a Tale from Muppetland proudction, then.

Since we brought it up in a recent thread, I've realized something about it: how could they have possibly known when the train was going to pass outside the window at the key point in the sketch? Since it seemed to have been shot on location somewhere rather than a studio (anyone have any idea...

Remember this early bit with computer animation that taught basic addition? How many versions were there?

Given that "Happy Birthday" is the most widely-sung song in the country ("Auld Lang Syne" and "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" are 2 and 3, if you're interested), it makes sense that somebody would want royalties. Just one of those things you wouldn't expect, I guess.

Exactly. I think the point may have been asking nicely for assistance might get you it, but it is admittedly rather muddled with that one. Not to mention their voices are uneasy to listen to anyway, and thus the discomfort level is ratcheted up higher. This may have been one of those sketches...

The first and last, no, but the Bud Luckey-narrated ones were among my favorites.

I have fond memories of the one (it may have come not that long after Baker #7 in at least one show) that begins with youngsters feeding the ducks in (presumably) Central Park and ends with them making pernaut better and jelly sandwiches of their own to eat. Who else remembers it, and roughly...

He joined full-time for the second season. Although he could have probably done a couple of bits in one or two sketches if his schedule permitted. :sing:
