    Most/Least Fave Older Recurring Segments

    Least fave (if you consider it old) Ernie's Show and Tell. Also can't stand Alphaquest, and the computer number matching thingys. Most fave this season are the Ernie and Bert tunes (which, incidentally, weren't around when I originally watched the show) What's the Name of that Song...

    I found the oringinal Mah-na Mah-na

    Isn't it amazing how any connection with Henson to anything creepy just doesn't get any press at all?

    Mah Na Mah Na contraversy

    OK, I stand by Pah-tee Pah-tee pee; here's the ORIGINAL original, and Henson's Following would be the Sesame Street version http://www.mp3dimension.com/MahNaMahNa670Kb/Unknown/ This is the one it's a cover of http://www.mp3dimension.com/MahNaMahNa670Kb/Unknown/ thanks, guys - anybody...

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    OK, I should also add here that, nostalgia notwithstanding, I HATED Sesame Street in the early 90's. I much prefer the current batch of Muppets to those two insanely annoying monkeys, and the current cast to that perky dance instructor! I'll take a two-hour Elmo special over that clan! It...

    Songs of Grover

    PS. - that particular clip is on the "Put Down the Duckie" video, part of my ever-growing collection. I highly recommend this video for all you non-toddlers out there; it's full of very silly celebrity appearances. My kid doesn't like it much, tho. I put it in at parties (on the rare...

    I found the oringinal Mah-na Mah-na

    Is this the original HENSON version from SS, or the original song that he did a cover of? It sounds exactly like the one I have on the SS Celebration tape.

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    Well, you know, they're all doctors and can afford nannies and cooks! (We'd also never eat if not for TV) Funny - Cookie Monster in third person I find hysterical, Elmo not so much. Just personal preference, I guess.

    Songs of Grover

    Did SS lose the rights to "Whenever I Feel Afraid?" When I was a kid, that was Grover's signature song, but it seems to have all but vanished. I loved it, and would often whistle when I had to go into dark, scary places. I wish my boy could hear it. I think it's a much better song than "What...

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    . I'd agree with that, though, since my boy is 2 1/2 (or three, as he likes to say) I should mention that this phase in development is pretty short-lived; he really doesn't like the repetition so much anymore and hasn't for several months. (though the American Society of Pediatrics or...

    how dumb!!!

    Sorry - I made that up - and put the comma in the wrong place. I do vaguely remember the ice cream sandwiches, though!

    Why are Elmo, Zoe, Rosita and Baby Bear so annoying to classic SS fans?

    It's not just nostalgia! Yes, I grew up in the 70s with the original muppeteers. I don't, however, hate the new muppeteers; I rather like Zoe and Rosita; Baby Bear, on the whole, bothers me only slightly. Yes, I don't like Elmo at all - even though my son does (though he seems to be growing...

    how dumb!!!

    I agree! I've loved watching the old Muppet show episodes and am going to buy the entire set eventually; I'd buy every one if I could! I'd love to give my son the opportunity to see all the sketches they don't use anymore because they were deemed inappropriate; some of those were my...

    Wegman Dogs

    Got to say, I liked the idea when they were first out, (when they were just stills) but now they just kind of creep me out. The voice they use is SOOO deadpan. There is an entire video of just him and the dogs doing Mother Goose. This season there were a bunch that came on JTE: Eye...

    Not apropos of anything

    Just thought it was fun that, as I'm sitting here, my two-year-old son is in the bathtub singing "Rubber Ducky" (Rah ducky, you de wan...bathtem fun...rah ducky aflond ofU!) Today at the doctor's he sang the ABC song to help a little girl stop crying. Think he might be overexposed?

    Sing yourself sillier at the movies

    It was "Mary had a Bicycle" - what a great bit!

    Sing yourself sillier at the movies

    OK, I hope this isn't redundenant.... Just found a copy of "Sing Yourself Silly," and it's rapidly becoming one of my favorites. What a terrific video! It's almost all Muppets and animation, and there's no weird setup; some muppet just appears and makes a comment between clips! And - best...

    Who's the jazz singer ep. 3826?

    Not to worry - their little tastes change - my boy (believe it or not) couldn't stand SS until he was about 11 mos old. He had to like jazz, though, because I blared "Time Out" on the stereo almost my entire pregnancy!

    What's The Name Of That Song?

    Sorry- it was the "prize" in a Journey to Ernie sketch, so I'm assuming it's a vintage spot from after my SS watching days (i.e. later than 1980) I don't THINK it's Jim doing Ernie, but I'm pretty sure it's Frank's Bert. Thanks for the heads up on the record, I'll look!

    Songs you'd like to see on the next Muppet Compilation CD

    Right - thought of another one that's WAAAY back in the depths of my brain - didn't they do a version of "Ragmop?" I vaguely remember mop heads dancing around, but of course it's all mooshed up with my memory of Mah Na Mah Na...(I was nine, for crying out loud!)

    Mah Na Mah Na contraversy

    This one came up between my husband and I: growing up, doing dishes, we always sang "Mah na mah na, PAH - TEE PAHTEEPEE!" so I tried it one night - my husband looked at me like I'd sprouted a new head, and corrected "Do doo dedoodoo!" When we borrowed A Sesame Street Celebration, I gloated...
