    Henry and Liza were muppets in this cool clip that involved a comedy in song. Henry was going to get water from the well and discovered a hole in the bucket and the song begins: Henry: "There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza"(repeated) Liza: "so fix it dear Henry dear...

    The two girls, the tea set and the cat

    I hope someone can help me remember this one. It was really cute and involved a cat, 2 real life girls(not muppets), a tea set, and I think perhaps a doll house too. The theme of the skit had to do with the number 2 I think and featured an unseen woman singing about the scenes that were...

    The King and the Letter P

    This was a funny one with me. A story I think that was narrated(and illustrated) by either Bob, Maria, or Luis. I think it involved a king who for some reason, outlawed anything in his kingdom that began with the letter P. Ultimately, because of his infamous ruling, the villagers deemed it...

    Ernie And Cookie Monster And The Apples

    This was a funny one. There was a skit featuring Ernie and CM. Ernie had an easel where he wanted to count how many apples he had. Along comes CM and naturally wants an apple but can't seem to make up his mind over whether he really wants it or not. One time he refuses and says "I don't eat...

    Name That Person

    Can someone please tell me who that man was that was always falling down the flight of stairs in the numbers 1 thru 10 skits? He was always dressed as a baker or a chef and would be carrying a somewhat overload of cakes pies or desserts. It was funny to look at as I'm sure that was the idea with...

    Kermit The Frog Cookie Monster And Luis Skit

    I recall a skit with Kermit Luis and CM. It was funny in that Luis made Kermit(and the TV audience) believe that when Luis blew into a banana, it sounded like a horn. Eventually he revealed that he had a horn in his other hand that you didn't see at first. I forgot what the theme of the skit was...

    A Father And Son Muppet Sketch

    This is a real oldie. I remeber a sketch that involved a father muppet(looked like the same muppet who played Simon Soundman and Fat blue) but had a deeper voice, and his muppet son. I think they were walking in the woods or something, and they both agreed to switch roles. I think the father was...

    Ernie And Simon Soundman

    There was a skit that involved Ernie(without Bert) and Simon Soundman. I don't remember all the dialogue but Simon came into Ernie's apartment and started describing a problem he had using various sound effects. Ultimately ending in simon asking Ernie if he can use his(brrrrring) telephone to...

    Amusing And Provocative To Kids

    I always had a passion for SS as a kid and loved it when they showed 2 back to back episodes on some days. At the same time, I also took the meaning of certain skits differently than others and depending on how the skit went, sometimes I would end up feeling somewhat aggravated by the result...

    The 3 Muppets And The Lemonade

    I remember this skit that involved 3 or 4 muppets each one of them tried to sell something on their own. One tried to sell lemons alone, the other tried to sell water alone, and the other tried to sell sugar alone. None of them sold anything alone until they all decided to cooperate and put all...

    Mr. Macintosh And Willy The Hot Dog Man

    I somehow feel that Mr. Macintosh( the fruit salesman) and Willy the hot dog man were somewhat unfairly overlooked. Did they ever have full names? What was Willy's last name? Did Mr. Macintosh have a first name? I just bought Christmas Eve On SS and saw that Mr. Macintosh had a small part at the...

    The Square And The Triangle Skit

    Anyone remember this skit? I think it had a narrator describing a triangle who was dancing around and what its purposes were. Then along came a square and they both started talking to each other about how different each of them were.(when the square entered and exited the skit, it had some nice...

    2 Hands Sharing A Piece Of Cake

    This one was real cool...2 gloved hands pass by a plate with a piece of devils food cake(it looked real tempting too). The both hands wanted it but didn't know what to do. An unseen woman's voice then said something like "wait a minute(the hands start looking to see where the voice was coming...

    A Dozen Eggs And A Cookie

    There was a skit involving an egg carton and a set of "hands" filling it up with eggs. A different set of hands(I think) put either a cracker or cookie in one of the compartments of the egg carton. It was eventually removed and replaced with an egg. After the skit was over, Ernie(without Bert)...

    Hooray for the Octopus 1 Man Band

    This was always a funny one with me. A cartoon in which each arm of an octopus played a different musical instrument while a narrator described each one...does anyone remember the dialogue for this other than "Hooray for the octopus one man band"? the sequence repeated itself after the first...

    Bill Cosby Reciting The Alphabet

    If we looked forward to all the Bill Cosby skits, then this was one for the books! As was the same for when he counted to 20, it was a split screen with Bill and a look-alike(were they both Bill?) Of course, there had to be some comedy here and there before it was done. During the part where...

    "J Jump" Song

    This was one of those songs that can really stick to your mind over the years. And like many other songs, this one differed slightly on TV as opposed to the version heard on the record. The record version had a poem recited by Big Bird before the song which i believe was absent from the version...

    The Story Of The Letter A

    This one was pretty popular but unfortunately, just died out after a while. It was cartoon featuring a woman looking like a witch telling 2 kids a story using the letter A. I'm sure someone can probably refrsh me on the whole dialogue, but it involved an Archer and an Ant. At the end, the lady...

David was in a summer outfit but was freezing in the snow and cold while Luis was bundled up in winter clothing and on the sunny beach. The both of them finally realized...

    The "Fireman" Song

    I used to like the skit with real firemen and actual clips of firemen fighting fires while the guy was singing "fireman, he's fighting the fire, the fireman". Then the end the skit was sung something like this, "The fire's out..we're going back to the firehouse". I know that there were more...
