    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Not sure exactly why I'm listening to the Bee Gees, but Jive Talking is a really good song. That bass line is all kinds of groovy.

    What bugs me about Little Jerry...

    Interesting thing is, while Little Jerry's outfits changed throughout the years, I don't recall seeing Chrissy in an outfit other than his yellow shirt, except in the song "Raise Your Hand." But Chrissy's voice is so flexible…it's suitable for various subgenres of music…just compare "Count It...

    What bugs me about Little Jerry...

    I agree with that. To me, as the years went on, their sound seemed to go backwards in time, not forwards. Remember the 1988 episode where Little Jerry & the Monotones came to Sesame Street? You'd think Gina, who was 17 or 18 years old at the time, would be into an MTV-molded, snarling Billy Idol...

    Funniest Wackiest Zaniest Sesame Sketches

    That reminds me of a skit I read about in the SS Unpaved book where Gordon puts Big Bird in charge of watching his new painting, and the Bird goes overboard by putting a WET PAINT sign (or a series of signs) directly on it, thus smearing the paint and ruining the artwork. Is this the sketch...

    Classic Sesame Clips on YouTube

    Not only does this segment teach Spanish, it also teaches addition! Groovy segment that probably no one has seen before…looks like it's from 1972 or 1973. I wonder who'd voicing the little girl here? It doesn't sound like Fran Brill, Marilyn Sokol, or Sonia Manzano.

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Currently listening to some 1980s music, including Night Ranger's "Sister Christian," "Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love," and Huey Lewis's "Hip to Be Square." It reminds me of that classic SS cartoon, featured in the Rock and Roll video! The parody sounds a little TOO much like the...

    Muppeteer Fran Brill's official retirement

    My first memory of seeing one of Fran's characters was when I watched the video I'm Glad I'm Me. It had Prairie Dawn's face pageant sketch in it. I grew up watching Zoe and Prairie a lot on SS, as they were featured prominently in the mid-1990s. I will definitely miss hearing Zoe's laugh, and...
