    Shape segments

    I remember these I remember these from the 1970's and early 1980's. The one with the square and circle involve the square- or circle-shaped object being 'surrounded' by a border which 'hugs' against the edges of the featured object (OK sign, back of truck, etc.). I also somewhat remember the...

    Rhyming Song

    In addition to 'Fat Cat - Small Wall - Red Head,' I liked this song which also featured 'Manah Manah' monster. BTW, was that what Jim Henson also called him, or is that just a name to which viewers of this forum refer him? Just wondering.

    Even more 'snippets' (this time with Muppets)

    Hi again: Here are some more 'snippets.' These ones, however, DO contain muppets: 1. Drumrolls can be heard in the background as Cookie Monster says 'E...egg' then takes an egg with an 'E' printed on it, tosses it up, gulps it down, and then faints right after the drumroll stops. 2. The...

    "This is your life"

    Hi there. I do remember it, and found the music sort of touching. I had to keep myself from crying each time it came on. I don't know - some music just gets to my emotions. I just remember one 'This is your life' skit. There might have been more, but I don't any.

    Rhyming Song

    I loved this song!!! Whenever I'm feeling down, I just think of it, and all of a sudden I feel better! I was enthralled by the way the monster kept running up from behind and blaring in with his 'fat cat hat - ball wall small - bed bread red' verses. An unforegttable muppet scene! One for...

    How about these sketches?

    I don't know if I remember any of those you listed, though some may sound remotely familiar at most. Sorry about that, but at the same time, I am sure there are other people who do remember them (at least more than I do).

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Hi there: Thanks for responding. I don't know if I remember the one about the hot air balloon - when did that come out? Is the song you are talking about 'Up, Up, and Away in my Beautiful Balloon' by the 5th Dimension? If it is, I don't think I remember that skit. Then again, maybe I...

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Hi: I don't know if I sent my first response correctly, so I'll do it again (just in case): You say you remember the gymnast vaguely. Do you remember her as a girl with blond hair in a black leotard using uneven bars, a pommel horse, ropes, and rings to 'demonstrate' these concepts...

    More 'snippets' from days past

    That's OK - don't worry about it. Out of the four clips you mention, unfortunately, only the second one (about the boy going back in time) rings a bell with me. However, though I am American, I live in Western New York, not too far from Ontario, and sometimes watched Canadian Sesame Street...

    More 'snippets' from days past

    I'm 32 going on 33, so I guess the age difference would probably be between 3 and 4 years. Did you say you started watching Sesame Street around 1978? If so, most or all of the twenty clips I listed were on in that time frame. I guess different people just remember different things. It might...

    Sesame Street Letter/Number Guide: Season 2

    Hi: Actually, this was one of my favorite 'hobbies' from being a Sesame Street viewer during the time that I was one. I would record the 'dictation of letters' (that's what I called it then) to notice a pattern - 'Sesame Street has been brought to you today by...' Each day Sesame Street would...

    More 'snippets' from days past

    Hi: I recently presented a list of ten 'snippets' from Sesame Street (late 70's-early 80's in particular) that do not involve muppets. Well, here are ten more. Does anybody remember these? 1. Pizza is being made with Italian music being played in the background. The music starts out...

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Yes, the 'W for water' sketch that you are thinking of and the one I am thinking of are most likely the same one. Do you remember any of the other seven in the list I wrote? I do plan on creating another list of ten (or so) more 'snippets.' Thanks for your response.

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Hi there. I remember all four of the things you listed, especially the last three. I liked the one about the nectarine tree, with one of the monsters saying 'Gonk' (or something similar). That was so hilarious! The other ones I found all right, but the 'Gonk' in the fourth one you mentioned...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Yes. I watched Sesame Street primarily between the years of 1975 and 1981 and these clips were on (or produced) during that time frame. What years did you watch Sesame Street? If it was after that time frame, maybe Sesame Street stopped showing them. Also, just wondering, if you're...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    A couple of things that 'freaked me out' as a young viewer: 1. The clip featuring a man's face changing shape. It's a cartoon, and everytime his nose or other facial features would change, it would be accompanied by a creaky door sound. Shivers up my spine, brrr! 2. Batman and Robin...

    Thanks for responding. This was live-action.

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Thanks for responding. I mainly watched Sesame Street between the years 1975 and 1981 (when I was ranging in age from 4 to 10). All ten of the clips I listed were ones that were on (or produced) during that time frame. I plan on adding some more clips to 'bring back' memories, but, they too...

    Various 'snippets' from Sesame Street

    Hi: I remember Sesame Street fondly - the muppets in particular. However, there are some 'snippets' that don't feature muppets that I also found interesting. These feature letters, numbers, 'relational' words like 'between and 'through,' as well as 'opposite concepts' like 'beginning/end'...
