Yeah, David should have seen the handwriting on the wall early on. Luis and Maria went on trips together, worker together, spoke the same languages, became business partners, and good friends. It was only a matter of time. :)

That definitely didn't happen on the New Mexico episodes. Susan had to stay home because of her job as a nurse, but Gordon could go because he was off from his job.

I remember a very old Sesame Street cartoon about "AGUA". It involved a pitcher of water that was alive and, at the end, he turns into a huge bowl or something. The dialogue was in Spanish. So far, I haven't been able to find anyone else who shares this memory.

Well, "Don't Eat the Pictures", "Big Bird in China", "Big Bird goes to Japan", etc. weren't movies, they were TV specials. As far as I know, the only actual movies from Sesame Street were "Follow That Bird" and "Elmo In Grouchland". I think that "Follow That Bird" was the better of the two in...

Some of the funniest parts of the New Mexico episodes were from the first one where they prepare for the trip. Luis talks to his family, decides to go, and asks others if they want to go with him. The Count encourages everyone to go, so he will have a lot of people to count as they leave...

Does anyone else remember two bizarre Sesame skits shot on film about "yes" and "no" that involved an outside scene with a lady and a gorilla (person in costume). The one about "no" was particularly strange and ended with the lady dragging the gorilla along the street while he yelled (in a...

That skit goes back to the early 70's. I remember getting a big kick out of it as a child, but then again, I haven't seen in about 30 years. LOL I didn't remember a lot of details about it, but someone else refreshed my memory a bit when they said it was about "tall, taller, and tallest."...

No, that wasn't me, but I did sign it. We've got to keep trying.

Yes, I am familiar with them. Some content of Disney may be controversial by today's standards because of old stereotypes, but let's face the facts, as a whole, vintage Disney has been much more widely available than vintage Sesame Street.

Or how about a video set of Sesame Street episodes that are edited to show skits only once? I think that could get them down to size.

Well, this topic has come up before. I believe that what is good for "the fans" is also good for the children because "the fans" are just remembering what made them happy and educated them in their own childhood. I agree with Mr. Roger's philosophy that children are not that different today...

I'm sure Disney would use Elmo just as much as SW, if not more for the current shows, but that wasn't my point. I raised the possibility that Disney might make more vintage Sesame Street episodes available. There are many things about current Disney I might not like, just like current Sesame...

Sometimes it's good to compare apples and oranges; it can help you decide which one you're in the mood to eat. Disney productions have been anything but small and they've been around MANY more decades than Sesame Street. While it's true that Sesame Street was a daily show for 35 years, if...

This skit was a bit similar to the one where Bert had a purple hand. Here's the way I remember it: Bert is feeling a draft, so Ernie lets him use a shawl from one of his relatives. Bert is appreciative, but Ernie cannot leave well enough alone, so he keeps putting all kinds of winter...

Or better yet, replace Journey To Ernie segments with regular Ernie And Bert skits.

To be exact, Will Lee died of cancer. The cause of Mr. Hooper's death was never stated on the show.

It's generally known that David and Maria were an item on the show until Luis and Maria fell in love during the late 80's. Yet, sometimes there seemed to be subtle hints that the writers may have been toying with that idea all along. Maria worked for Luis and eventually became his partner in...

Here are some thoughts about the Sing Along tape (which of course, was taken from an actual television show). Did you notice that throughout the whole thing, poor David kept trying to suggest a song, but no one would listen to him? You'd think Maria might have been tempted to show Biff...

The Koala Bear with "Rock-A-Bye-Baby".

On the other hand, just about everything that is "vintage Disney" is available to the public in some form or another and not held under lock and key like "vintage Sesame Street." I have to wonder if a Disney purchase would make the old Sesame shows available to the public. If it would, I'd be...
