Apparently yes: although I never saw Rosita flying myself, some old-school fans swear she flew in her earliest episodes. (One even mentioned petitioning CTW to let Rosita fly again...*LOL*)

The other Bridgekeeper segment taught about triangles; he made one of his trademark demands in rhyme: "To cross the bridge is completely free. Just show me a triangle--make it three." The stranger pointed out two triangles in the bridgework, then drew a third in the dirt with the...

I remember the episode in which Woof-Woof (Barkley's original name) appeared: Gordon and the kids meet a stray on the street, with no ID except a damaged name tag ("I see a 'W' here, but the rest is worn off...") Gordon, Oscar the Grouch, and some other characters made vain attempts to guess the...

That sketch didn't use the Fix-It Shop, but a nameless repair shop...with a Cerrado sign which Ernie interpreted as the name of the business ("Isn't this 'Ka-raydo' Toy Repair?) The Miami Mice set Ernie straight, explaining that some people in town spoke Spanish and that the sign said "Closed"...

What...the...heck?!? I must have missed the episode where that happened; if only Spaghetti-Eating Eddie had thought of that comeback line...

Rosita is my favorite recent Muppet, too...with her talents and speech pattern, I imagine her as the monster equivalent of an older child (7 or 8 years, maybe?). Her wings were kept, though, for at least a season after she stopped flying; I remember an episode where Maria cheers her up by...

Say, would you be interested in co-writing a fanscript? The more, the merrier! (I'm assuming that this fanscript would be a "special" with no Things-of-the-Day or filler clips; but would you prefer any particular decade/season as a starting point? That would affect characters/places on the...

Glad you liked the idea so much; I did a little brainstorming about how Ernie might act if he went berserk in an actual Sesame Street episode. Between you and me, I smell a collaborative fanscript here. :cool: You interested?

:o My apologies, Martin: I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions about your real name. Still, I'm glad to find a fan with lots of detailed memories; judging by your profile, you started watching only a few years later than I did.

I have vague memories of someone charming numbers out of a basket on Sesame Street, but didn't remember the other details. Thanks for posting them, guys...the older number clips have kick-butt visuals compared to most of the recent ones.

Heck yeah. An irate Ernie would probably storm into Cookie Monster's bedroom late at night with a few friends, and begin singing a LOUD song about anger and/or rudeness. While the music played, Ernie's friends would hunt down every last cookie crumb that Mr. Fuzzy and Blue owned--then destroy...

I miss the old bells-and-horns ending theme, if only because it was so different from the typical ending themes on kids' shows. (Yes, I've watched Sesame Street since it first aired; however, I'm unlikely to remember any details from episodes earlier than 1971.) I do remember the "scrolling...

You're almost right; the narrator described the snakes' meal as a "sumptuous supper", but otherwise you've got the story down word for word.

Bill--you made a good point about the six items on the menu, but I still doubt that it was meant to teach letters and numbers at the same time. (If the number six had also been visible in that cartoon, I'd accept it as a combination tribute.) To the best of my knowledge, Sesame Street has...

You're right, Mike: even though the Carpenters recorded their own arrangement of "Sing", I don't recall their appearing or performing on Sesame Street in person.

The recent shows have included a cartoon remake of the "Three Is My Favorite Number" segment, with a carpenter singing the song as he works. The character has a Deep South accent, which TV usually associates with ignorant rural types; I remember thinking "This character sounds as if three is...

Are you in Canada, by any chance? I've never heard French words taught on the US version of Sesame Street at all. Spanish, yes; throwaway references to other foreign languages, sometimes; but I know of no American clips which teach specific, non-Spanish foreign words (like the one you recalled).

ROFL...your description of the clip sounds as if Mystery Science Theatre 3000 were covering classic Sesame Street that day. Since most of the real city-street clips weren't set up specifically for TV, though, I'd bet that the workers were numbering parking-lot spaces (or showing a very low...

I didn't remember a sign holder in those clips; thank you for solving the mystery of what the letters were supposed to spell. (I'll bet the "R" must have been part of that specific hotel's name, even though that part of the sign holder wasn't visible in the film.)

*nods* Joe Raposo originally wrote "Sing" if I remember correctly. (When the Carpenters' version hit the airwaves, I asked my mom what a Sesame Street song was doing on the radio...*blush*)
