    Buddy & Jim

    Not only were Buddy & Jim and Wally & Ralph remarkably similar in their format, both duos did the PB&J sandwich routine. One big difference was that when W&R did the "collide our bread slices together" move, one of them ran offscreen and we heard a loud, lengthy, exaggerated crashing/toppling...

    Twin Muppets sharing speech

    Does anyone remember a Muppet sketch in which two twin boy Anything Muppets enter a store? They ask the storekeeper for something, but because they divide their speech by alternate words, and even by alternate syllables, the shopkeeper can't figure out what they want. A typical greeting by...

    Favorite Sesame Specials

    My favorite is the special they did for the show's 10th anniversary. The special was hosted by an African-American fella who walked the street as normal activity went on in the background. I think he said something about him being the original Gordon, but he did not look like Matt Robinson...

    Letter "U" animation

    Thanks Thanks, Boober Gorg, for your transcription. One more thing about that metal detector scene. While I still say the device looked more like a Hoover Upright than anything else, I'm wondering if that was really a radiation detector, since Uranium is, after all, radioactive. The clicks...

    How Snuffy "just missed" the adults

    Contrary to popular belief, Mr. Snuffleuppagas was never physically "invisible" to the adults. Rather, the grownup cast always managed to just miss seeing him, much to Big Bird's frustration. Can't remember where I heard this, but it's been said that one of the reasons for introducing Snuffy...
