In the old west skit, in which that guy was literally a "jack of all trades", one of the incorrect guesses at the end was (inexact wording): "Is it the one where I deliver the letters and packages to your house?" The other guy says, "No! That's where you're the mailman!"

A few sound bites from this one: "...the corners on a triangle are pointier." "Does a circle have one side? Or lots of sides. Or no sides at all." Up until this point it was Ernie talking. then IIRC, he fell asleep and Bert took over. Berts resonse went something like: "I guess a...

Actually, that one appeared on Noggin at one point. The second time they counted to eleven the "slow" way, they had a unique animation effect. First they showed the number, then during the "tuh TUH TUH" part the number spun around and stopped with these little squares next to the digit(s)...

The dog was upset because he was now relegated to sitting on the floor. Doggy was actually sitting in the chair while the kids were arguing over it, turning his head toward whoever was doing the talking. It was from the chair that he gave his sharing suggestion.

What about that animation where an elephant sits on a kid? The boy tries to pick up the elephant and says "heavy". The pachyderm starts laughing with a ha! ha! ha! sound, but emanating from his mouth is "hhh" "hhh" "hhh" (two or three h's there). Then of course there's the "Hello, is Harold...

I had written in Hades, spelled in the H-E-double hockey sticks manner. Would you believe that the message board censored that word out?

How about this animation? Against a plain background, a man is walking along and trips over a small rock. This gives the man a series of ideas -- inventing the wheel, essentially -- which are promptly reflected in a detailed thought balloon. First, the man picks up the stone. He imagines...

Yes, that's right. Actually, the reason I wrote it that way is just the reason GeeBee gave. Thanks. Mikebennidict: What are "3 spots"?

Jazzy 20 sketch Does anyone remember a counting-to-20 sequence from 1969 that featured a bunch of adults, with a jazzy theme? The setting had a line-up, a "chorus line" if you will of men and women teaching us to count to 20. Most if not all were African-American, and I distinctly remember...

Anyone this animation, possibly computerized, about the number four? We see 4 white or yellow squares against a black background. A man asks "How many is this?" A chorus of kids, probably boys all answered "four". The above process repeated once. Then the male voiceover asked "How many...

More about the "let's call it Shirley" sketch: The setting of the skit was "The Planet of Snew" (Snoo?) The only thing to eat on The Planet of Snew was a nectarine from the nectarine tree. But one creature couldn't reach the fruit, and the other had no elbows so couldn't bring the food to...

Fishing boat A few soundbites from the fishing boat film. "My brother steers the boat." (footage of a young man struggling to turn a ship's wheel) "It's hard work." A net full of fish was brought in. I think the boy said that the captain cut the string to open the net. We then saw a...

What about Cookie Monster's cousin? He appeared in a street scene around 1974-ish, and looked remarkably similar to CM except for the cowboy hat he wore all the time (looked so similar that the adults just thought he had an identity crisis.) This monster had a penchant for apples -- he...

(1) The twiddlebugs decide they want to go to the zoo, but can't decide how to get there. They consider: • Walking. But it would take 3 days. • Swimming. They tried, but you need water to swim. • Flying. They tried, but flapping their arms only made them tired. • The family car. So they...

Does anyone remember this crazy animation? Against some background, we see progressive "bites" taken out. Munch and chewing sound effects accompany the scene accordingly. Finally, when there's nothing left but a white (or black?) background, a male voice says: "All right. Now that...

In the animation with the birds and counting to 20, I think what happened is you had a flock of birds resting on the digits, and the number of birds increased by one with each number -- so there were nine birds on the 9 for example. The numbers passed by as the camera gradually panned to the...

D is for dog Remember this one? D, dog. We see a dog sitting upright in an easy chair and he makes multiple whistles. A (human) man crawls up with a whimper/hum sound with a newspaper in his mouth. The dog takes the paper and pats the man on the head. The fella replies by panting, and...

Does this count? I remember one episode that opened with the camera moving forward down the street in the dead of night. After only a few seconds, we heard a faded yelling/arguing noise coming from the 1-2-3 building and we quickly faded into Bert and Ernie's bedroom. If I remember...

Another V routine Another V routine involved a villain who stole a vase. He decided to fill it with vinegar, then threw in some varnish. Then put in some violets to garnish. [somehow, I don't think the flowers would do well with that concoction.] "And now I will slip it, here under my...

It's been 35 years, and I tend to remember closing music if it's unusual, such as the one-of-a-kind phrase we hear as Ernie and Bert BOTH faint after Beautiful Day Monster steals the cookies while dressed as Ernie. But as for the CM-eating-telephone skit, I think the closing music was one of...
