Does anyone remember the "I'm a letter" film about the Post Office? And is it available anywhere? The film begins with someone dropping a letter in a mailbox, and ends with a kid receiving the letter and opening/reading it. In between, the film shows the process by which the mail travels...

I posted a description of that, or a similar scene. Likely season 5 or 6. http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/old-street-scenes.22583/#post-441210

This is the "Arthur a go-go" drummer from the Falling Baker sequence: "4 wind-up toys". http://www.ebay.com/cln/o(*g*)o/-/67957274012 It's on the far right. The character seems to be based on Ringo Starr, which would be yet another Beatles reference.

Hah, I only posted this question 7 short years ago. At last, the sequence has come to YouTube! Of course it turns out it wasn't a hay wagon after all, but rather a buggy being pulled... by a donkey. The scene starts at about 2:20. Thank you so much Monsterpiece Theatre!!

Please post the Buddy and Jim sequence in which they replace a light bulb, or at least attempt to.

No doubt about it -- this was a real sequence. I've posted about it myself on other boards. A couple of other details: when I saw this, there were actually 3 segments. The first and last were as described, but the middle sequence was short, and only had David taking one round item out of his...

Does anyone know where the road in the mid-70s closing credits was filmed? For 3 or 4 seasons (6 through 9 according to YT), the longer credit roll was shown against a kid "driving" slowly down a narrow, winding, unstriped country road somewhere. Recently, this sequence came to the attention...

Regarding cover songs of (mostly) showtunes, don't forget in the very first episode, the Anything Muppet family sang "Consider Yourself" from the musical Oliver! Gotta like how they threw in "soft drinks!" after the "drinks are on the house" line. Sadly, the DVD includes Gordon assembling the...

As it's been 50 years since The Beatles first performed in the USA, let us explore the appearances of the Fab Four in the earliest years of Sesame Street. Back when the show used to cover popular songs just as they were, with no parody or lesson, no less than 4 songs were sung as part of a...

Is it just me, or is The Word Family Song one of the most underrated songs on the show, at least musically? Consider the musical structure. The song essentially repeats the same strain four times. But to keep it from becoming too repetitive, there are subtle modifications. Verse 3 deftly...

In the intro to "The Grouch Song" on the Sesame Street 2 album, Oscar says: Though in that same song, Oscar also describes ice cream "...as yucky as can be." But if you put on the right toppings...

I wanna thank you for this link, Mary. I made reference to this scene in a post I made on this board over 4 years ago. It was part of a list of things Oscar did to keep people from bothering him. http://www.muppetcentral.com/forum/threads/what-oscars-done-to-avoid-being-bothered.32249/#post-633460

Whoa! At about 12 minutes into that Abrete clip, there's a 30 dots sequence that has never been on YouTube before! At not one that I've found. It's not the one with the circles and squares spiraling, though, that everyone seems to be looking for. It's the regular 30 dots, stopping...

Not only was there a week of snow episodes back in the day, but they were true-to-life in that the snow didn't just disappear suddenly. There was maybe a week of shows in which the snow gradually "melted", and you'd see smaller piles of snow here and there. One snow episode that stands out in...

Kermit, Cookie Monster, and 3 levers Not on YouTube, but on Google Video, and it's in Hebrew, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2134914169741755979# This is where Kermit tries to test Cookie Monster's intellect by presenting him with a machine with 3 levers. A cookie is behind a...

My memory may be consolidating more than one show, but this was from the mid-1970s. One day, The Count entered the Fix-it Shop kind of dejected. Luis was busy and really didn't want to be bothered, but Count still gave a short list of things that were bugging him. One complaint was "My dog...

Does anyone remember the PBS shows that came on before and after Sesame Street in the 1970s? One show in particular that came on beforehand in the early 70s (probably 1973) had, at least in my mind, a "dark" appearance to it. Catching the end of the show, all I could make head-or-tail out of...

Does anyone remember, from the earliest seasons, a farm-like video sequence which showed some older kids riding on either a hay wagon or the back of a flat-bed truck of some sort? I think I located the music that played during that segment. Go to...

Slightly off-topic, but regarding those cartoons where everything was against a plain white background: Do you remember the Electric Company cartoon with "Happy Birthday Miss Jones"? That, too, was a cartoon where all that we can see onscreen is the boy, a telephone on a box/stand, and the...

A few changes from the first seven years: First season: Buddy and Jim Second season: replaced by Larry and Phyllis Also: a bend put in the street, with the arbor area Third season: replaced by Wally and Ralph (which was more similar to the first pair than the second pair.) Not sure...
