That could definitely be an interpretation of the skits, but he sure seemed to have a lot of control over the classroom and they'd sing a song that implied the school was named after him. Who knows? Those skits were great, but rather vague on details.

Everyone knows that Snuffy is Big Bird's best friend. Earlier on, however, it looked like Big Bird was going to have a different best friend, Little Bird. There were early sketches about the two of the comparing their differences and realizing that they could still be friends and their...

Yeah, that one was pretty hilarious. :)

Both of the skits were done in the 70's. I do not believe Bert talked to Oscar in the skit where Bert surprises Big Bird by jumping out of the can. In the skit where Bert moves in with Oscar and tries to clean up his can, I seem to remember that there was some confrontation with Bert after...

We don't really have Sesame Street at all now. In the past, Sesame Street always found a way to pull up their ratings and make their unique formula work with modifications when necessary, but always with their own individual touch. Now it seems that they're "making it work" by simply copying...

There may or may not have been any reason to mention that Mr. Hooper died. They've mentioned it in the past, so one might think it would be mentioned on the 35th Anniversary. We don't know if they would mention the death of a major character or not today. The point of my post was that, from a...

Well, that's only according to the lyrics that I read on this one website. There might be another one that confirms that it is in fact "old." I've sometimes wondered something similar about the "I Love Trash" song. When Oscar says, "I have here a newspaper thirteen months old," it seems...

I just looked it up. It sure isn't "north". My mistake. According to TinyDancer's Sesame Street Lyrics Archive, it goes: "In a COLD and far off place." Oh well, if it's cold, maybe that means it's in the north? :zany:

The only thing remotely promoting the use of the letter in "The Lower Case n" song was that, in the beginning of the song, it says that she lived in the "north."

I'm pretty sure that the inchworm skit was in fact on Sesame Street. I remember seeing it on Sesame Street as a young child in the 70's and seeing it repeated on a mid-80's episode of Sesame Street.

During the 80's, after the profound episode of Mr. Hooper's death, they were not afraid to make small references to his death, in subsequent episodes of the 80's, with memories from Big Bird. Yet, in the 35th anniversary special, they showed a brief scene of Mr. Hooper, but nothing about...

While we're at it, here's a sample of the lyrics I remember: "Hey, you'd better listen, I'm a mean green lad. Don't like to stand for lacy little lamb or lilly pad. Just wanna live for loudness and don't say I'm too young. I was born to go la-la-la to the top of my la-la lungs...

There was this one skit I really liked with Forgetful Jones in the mid 80's. I'm trying to recall what it was about.

Kids always loved Sesame Street and it was very popular with young audiences in its traditional format. Sesame Workshop doesn't seem to believe in "If it's not broken, don't fix it."

Well, I remember an album called “The Count Counts” from the 70's. I recall a verse that had the Count doing some kind of weather report It was introduced by female voices singing something like, "Weather it's cool or weather it's hot, it's weather with the Count von Count!" I many not have...

I think the article was off on the dates about the Count's name. I remember him being called the "Count von Count" on his record album in the 70's.

As far as I know, his only names are "Count" or "Count von Count".

Actually, I don't think she's supposed to be his wife, just his girlfriend. The "Sesame Street Unpaved" book said that the Count had two girlfriends: The Countess and The Countess von Backwards (the latter character, of course, likes to count backwards. I've never seen the skits with her.)...

In that skit, young George Washington kept chopping down trees and telling the truth until his father couldn't stand it any longer.

I remember that cartoon, but I thought they were supposed to be a little boy and a little girl.
