    I especially love the Cinderella book where Cinderella and the Prince were dancing, until it was midnight, and Cinderella turned into a pumpkin. And the Prince was dancing around with the pumpkin, not realizing she had changed.

    This was a rare Letterman episode I remember seeing only once and was hardly ever shown again. We see a jail where the Spellbinder was put behind bars. SB takes out his wand and changes the B in BARS into ST creating STARS. SB found himself surrounded in stars floating in space. SB couldn't...

    The Spellbinder actually makes a spell that almost destroys the entire world by bread. And I love how he teases the narrator at the end.

    Fuzzygobo, Have you noticed in season 1, how all of the scenery mostly consisted of cardboard clouds in everything? When the later seasons happened, they started adding more backgrounds like offices, buildings, schools, houses, and even scenes with blue sky.

    Sorry, I made a mistake. I learned from someone that it was Rita Moreno who played the first witch actress, not Judy. I thought it was Judy at first, especially how she laughed.

    Look what just got posted. Rita Moreno playing 3 different characters, who all share the same classic catchphrase.

    WITCH AUDITIONS: Does anyone remember this pretty scary skit? We see a director in his chair, played by Skip Hinnant. He was organizing a play and needed someone to play the role of a witch. 2 actresses came in to try out. The first was Judy Graubart dressed in a scary witch's costume, complete...

    In season one, it showed Bill Cosby as an army sergeant leading a group of soldiers, and it showed Jim as one of the soldiers, for they needed an extra actor in the lineup.

    Another pretty scary TEC moment was a cartoon about a guy discovering a giant ice cream land, only to find something else giant.

    That's true. And these couple had one or two of the Short Circus members as their kids.
