    Quit blowing on my neck!

    Okay, this is a pretty silly sketch, even for Sesame Street. But that’s what I like about it. Anyway, my memories of it are vague, so any corrections would be appreciated. I know the sketch involves Uncle Wally and two other people—Bob and Olivia, if I remember correctly. Uncle Wally sneaks up...

    Jogging Song

    I have been searching and searching for a video of this song, with no luck. But I'm hoping someone will at least remember the title. It's a live-action film that shows a bunch of people jogging while voices sing in the background. But what I'll always remember is seeing Oscar's feet sticking...

    Does anyone remember seeing this in English?

    Kermit/Cookie Monster pledge-drive sketch

    I seem to recall a sketch, from the 197o’s or 1980’s, that was made for a pledge drive. In it, Kermit was telling viewers the prices of various pieces of equipment needed to make Sesame Street happen (such as the cameras). As Kermit talked about each piece, Cookie Monster ate it! :insatiable:

    Grover on ice

    I remember a sketch from many years ago, starring Grover and Kermit. As I recall, though, Kermit wasn’t seen at all; I only heard his voice. He said something like this: “And now Grover is going to show us ‘near’ and ‘far’ on his ice skates!” Grover skated close to the camera (or was he...

    Soapsuds in Oscar’s can

    I seem to recall a sketch where Oscar was in his can, with the lid closed, and was saying he had just taken a “grease shower.” Then soapsuds started to bubble out of his can as he exclaimed, “Hey, what’s this? Soapsuds? Clean soapsuds? Help! Help, I’m gettin’ clean!” That one always made me...

    Presenting the...!

    Please, PLEASE, can someone help me with this one? I’ve been racking my brains trying to remember what happened in these little fillers! You may recall that sometimes between segments, the screen would go from completely black to some other color in a delightfully ridiculous way, like in this...

    Alphabet chants

    Back in the 90's, Sesame Street had a series of segments that Muppet Wiki described as "chants" and "Gregorian." Each one would show a letter of the alphabet (capital, then lowercase, then both) against a background that looked like an ancient piece of art—a tapestry, for instance. As the...

    A Gift Exchange with the Muppets

    Well, here it is the first of December, so I thought I'd start this thread: Suppose you and the Muppets were having one of those "Secret Santa" gift exchanges? What do you think a Muppet who drew your name might give you? And what if you drew a certain Muppet's name—what might you give? I think...

    Little things we've noticed

    I saw that "Classic Sesame Street" has a thread called "Little Things We've Noticed." Well, how about one for "Classic Muppets"? Here's one for a starter: the UK bit on the Carol Channing episode of the Muppet Show. Floyd, on guitar, and Beauregard, on harmonica, play "Wave" for some...

    Kermit Tries a Monster Exercise

    I have rather vague memories of a sketch where Kermit watched Grover touching his toes with his nose (or was it touching his nose with his toes?) five times. Kermit then decided to try it, though Grover warned against it. "This is a monster exercise!" But Kermit tried anyway and wound up hurting...

    Q for quilt

    Does anyone remember a piece where Maria and Linda were sewing a quilt? When they held it up, they showed that it had a patchwork Q on it. Then Maria said, "Q, quilt," and Linda taught the signs for Q and "quilt." This was one of my favorite pieces about the letter Q. I wonder whatever became...

    Oscar's Grouch Formula

    Does anyone remember when Oscar invented a formula that was supposed to turn anyone who drank it into a grouch? Then someone told Oscar, "If you drink that stuff, you'll get grouchier. You'll be a super grouch!" Thrilled with the idea, Oscar drank the potion—but he became super nice! Eventually...

    Juggling Apples

    I seem to recall a sketch with two men. One of them was juggling apples and a salt shaker. He even managed to sprinkle salt on an apple and take a bite while juggling. He didn’t like the taste, though, and the other guy said, “I told you not to put salt on an apple.”

    Cookie Monster Eats Rocks

    I found this Cookie Monster sketch in Hebrew. Does anyone remember seeing it in English? According to Muppet Wiki, a Muppet man was using feathers and rocks to show the difference between light and heavy. During the lecture, Cookie Monster came along and ate the rocks, thinking they were...

    TV Addicts site

    Has anyone looked up "muppet" on the site tvaddicts.tv? My search for that word turned up two results. The first was a set of DVDs supposedly for all five seasons of the Muppet Show. The cover looked more like "Muppets from Space," though. The other result was "The Best of the Muppet Babies on...

    Prayers urgently needed!

    Urgent prayers are needed for Chris, who is currently living New Mexico. Chris is a wonderful guy--caring, honest, has a great sense of humor, and stands up for what he believes in. He's fortyish, like me. I've told you about him in the past--how in January 2009 he fell down, had to go to the...
