Some of Rebel L: "You better listen, I'm a lean mean lad! Don't like to stand for lacy little lamb or lily 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!" "You're wakin' up the neighbors! Please leave us in peace...

Was there a technical blooper in that message? :)

Funny, I never thought of Bert as being boring. His character certainly started to like boring things, but I never felt bored by him on the show. His appearance and reactions were hilarious.

Here's another one: In the skit where Lefty the Salesman sells Ernie the painting with four elephants, there is a blooper. In the beginning of the skit, Lefty has ears, but after the four elephants appear, the next scene shows Lefty with no ears! Someone must have gotten really confused...

Actually, I remember Grover's telephone skit with that uneven movement when it was shown years ago in the 70's. At the time, I thought there might just be technical difficulty, but after seeing it like that a few times then and years later on Noggin, I tend to think there was a problem with the...

I believe there is a technical blooper in the vintage skit where Grover is in front of a phone booth. He is explaining about a telephone and a bunch of monsters run over him to answer when it rings. The movement in some parts of this skit seemed to be jerky and uneven, as if there was a...

That is a good thing to write to them about, but don't expect too much in actual results. Sesame Workshop seems pretty definite in the direction it's taking and does not seem interested in listening to nostalgic adults. What they fail to realize is that the needs of nostalgic adults and the...

Ah, I must have missed the ones where Bruno talked. I thought he was always mute like Sully. His character was cool and pretty different in that I don't remember seeing any other "human" muppets in costume form. The book, "Sesame Street Unpaved" said that Bruno was there to make Oscar more...

I don't think the very early skits of Season 1 had Bert liking pigeons, oatmeal, paperclips, or anything like that. He was simply the straight man who got annoyed with Ernie. Then they seemed to give more depth to his personality while still keeping him as a funny straight man. Indeed, in my...

I loved "Follow That Bird" and I think it runs circles around "Elmo In Grouchland". "Follow That Bird" was made just in time to celebrate the essence of Sesame Street that was gradually slipping away.

I've often wondered if it would ruin Sully's character if they ever had him speak. It is hilarious how Biff never lets him get a word in edgewise, but it does tend to limit what can be done with Sully's character. I wonder if Sully's speaking could be considered a natural evolution for the...

It is a shame that a show like Sesame Street, that was always progressive, tolerant, and about positive race relations, starting taking itself too seriously and began condemning its own way of communicating with children. Roosevelt Franklin was a gifted child and a very positive role model...

The story Ernie tells about how Rubber Ducky got broke is a riot. He explains to the mice that Bert was sleeping and he held Rubber Ducky to his ear and woke him up. He then says something like, "And then Bert...Oh, never mind."

These are a few old favorites of mine: "The Together Book" "Bert's Hall Of Great Inventions" "People In Your Neighborhood" (Original one with the big face of Ernie on the whole cover).

The professor was played by Northern Calloway; he had a drawing of a tree on a stand in front of the class. He mentions that a tree is good for "leaning on" and says something else like it's good for providing shade. He then says, "And that is it. That is all a tree is good for." The muppets...

Another Mr. Hooper?? That's news to me.

Interesting observations, although I can't say I agree with them. I always thought words like, "hey, heck, and darn" were supposed to be wholesome substitutes that prevented swear words from being said in the first place. The issue of how Santa gets down the chimney was a delicate and tactful...

I also recall the character of Tough Eddie appearing on the street and Oscar being afraid of him. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

I'm not PC. HAPPY HANUKKAH to everyone on this list!

Close, but not the most racist thing on here. That title goes to another member's comments about Cookie Monster's clothes in the skit "Healthy Food".
