    Lamb Chop!!

    I always enjoyed ventriloquist acts like Shari and Lambchop. My favorite is Willie Tyler and Lester. A couple of years ago I bought a Lambchop for my ex-fiance and she loved it.

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    The Rapunzel skit certainly goes back to just about my earliest days of remembering viewing SS so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the first. The other News Flash segment that goes way back for me is the Tortoise and the Hare. That one was also VERY FUNNY! :)

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Thanks. As a child I never was able to make out all of those words he was singing. I see the original "Everybody eats" (also the "sleeps" one) is now there. How about that person that fed the hippo so closely? I would think that'd be dangerous to put your hand so near its mouth. But I guess...

    News Flash: Rapunzel (1971)

    This one was also uploaded on youtube a while ago. It hadn't been that long since I last saw it though so I already had it in perfect memory. I always loved the exchange: Kermit: Would you mind sharing your plan to rescue Rapunzel from the tower? Prince Charming: Yesh Kermit: Oh you do...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Hi redBoobergurl (a newlywed :) ) good to see you as well. And yeah it was taking forever for a post to go through and I ended up with a triple post. And looks like someone else just triple posted a new thread. So must be the site right now. Other sites are working at normal speed for me. :)...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well as of 4pm now the high is still at 98. So I don't know if we'll make the 100 they were forecasting. Of course, it varies from place to place so just because the Philly airport and my borough are 98 doesn't mean it isn't 100 somewhere nearby, I guess. Looks like it's pretty much hot in the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Brand new one on youtube today that I just viewed - "Sesame Street Signs Alphabet". Great fun seeing and hearing this one again! I love the music throughout as the camera goes all over various signs and fixtures in early 70's NYCity with the voice of an unseen boy enthusiastically shouting out...

    Great Cookie Thief

    I hadn't noticed the slight differences before you pointed this out. Interesting. I can see it being either like GeeBee said from season one, or just various ways they were experimenting with the picture, like Java theorized. And in the youtube thread I referenced a lot of recent great clips...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Well actually 90 is a nice cool down for Monday, redboobergurl, considering here Monday is going to be 100! (with heat index of 110). They say next Monday-Friday wlll be 100,100,98,96,94. And humid. For quite a while we've been in a heat and humidity wave, but Monday it gets REALLY brutal. It's...

    More Electric Company Memories

    Yes and one I enjoyed seeing recently was that one with Victor Borge reading the story that we talked about in the past. I had recalled him saying, "And that was the end of that. And this is the end of this." But I had forgotten about the part where he said, "So the dragon took that and that and...

    Family Affair on DVD

    I don't expect this will get much if any responses since to have seen this show you probably have to be just about as old as me. But I am enjoying very much season one on dvd that I got a couple weeks ago. I used to love this show when they showed it in reruns in the early 70's (original...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Well been a while since I've posted here. I've been glad seeing youtube continues having more vintage SS segments. The latest one I see is the animated number elimination one. And it's interesting, as the person who submitted it mentioned, that the word "character" was spelled incorrectly (as...

    Baseball 2006

    Someone at work today, in anger at the Brewers for sweeping Philly, referred to them as the Milwaukee SEWERS! But he said they look like they really have a good ball club this year and if they just had a couple more good pitchers they could really be there. Pitching seems to have been a chronic...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I wasn't clueless on it. I said I think it is the skit where Ernie has ice cubes and they melt. In fact, I'm almost positive it is this one, since there is a box and that's where Ernie had the cubes. And as I said, you can really tell Bert says, "They melt" , and then at the end, "Go get em'...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    I think it's the skit where Ernie has ice cubes but then they melt and he, being ignorant of that concept, thinks someone stole them. Bert explains that ice melts. But then it concludes with Ernie saying someone melted his ice cubes. I think he blames a fish for some reason (perhaps because the...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Lyrics to the Kangaroo song I can't find the lyrics to the Kangaroo song on any SS lyrics site, so I thought I'd write them out from listening to the video that was recently uploaded on youtube that we discussed. And maybe there's some here who are unable to view youtube videos and haven't seen...

    Baseball 2006

    Well the "red hot" Phillies are no longer that, thanks to a three game sweep at the hands of the Brew Crew. And I'm glad to see that Barry Bonds still hasn't hit #714, though of course it's inevitable that he will eventually.

    Old School Sesame coming to DVD October 2006

    Well then it looks pretty encouraging for classic SS to finally hit dvd. It'll really be exciting once we see an official news release, such as on tvshowsondvd.com. Hopefully the dvds will include a lot of things not shown on Noggin's Unpaved episodes, so as to really give us a treat to look...

    The ant and the aardvark

    You're welcome. They are indeed a lot of fun. Just viewed one again.

    The Gorilla And The Bees

    Yep. I brought this one up on June 28th, 2005 at 10:19pm in the "What's your favorite letter segment?" thread. Here was my rendition:
