Here we go again, RedBoobergurl! You were at 93 yesterday, Philly is 93 today. You cooled down just a bit to 86 today, it is forecasted to be 86 here tomorrow. Send us a week of 70's soon please Minnesota! :)

Thanks Soul H. I figured it was probably something that rhymed with band. And hand makes sense (hand to play the piano). Do you remember what 5 through 8 were? I think guitar might have been one of them and possibly drum and sticks for two others.

How about that Ernie and Bert skit where Bert wants Ernie to fix a broken window but Ernie uses the excuse that it's raining and he'll get all wet. But then the rain suddenly stops and the sun comes out. Bert then says, "Hey Ernie, it stopped raining. So now you can fix the window." Ernie...

One came to mind about an animated guy who looked real life-like (probably computer animation). I wonder if the guy was one of the adults used on SS like Paul Benedict or Joe Ponazecki. Looked like it was someone I had seen in real life segments on SS before. I think there was also bowling...

It just came to me now, I think this scene occurs in a sketch with Sharla. Sharla was in between Ernie and Bert, as always (well, actually there was that one sketch where Ernie kept saying, "Shift" and the three would alter the positions they were in). Ernie holds up what might have supposed to...

Happy Birthday fellow Yankee fan!

Oh okay. Actually, I just thought of an octopus on classic SS that was a cartoon! Remember the octopus that was playing all those different musical instruments with each arm? A guy's voice said, "One for the fiddle, two for the bow, three for the trumpet and four to blow....nine for the piano...

Well minor muppetz, I looked at imdb.com and according to them Roosevelt Franklin skits were from 1969-1972, Professor Hastings was from 1970 only (no wonder there weren't too many!), Herbert Birdsfoot skits were from 1970-1973, Little Bird was from 1970-1986 and 1990 (I would have thought that...

Well now it's a month later and the new "Star Wars" movie is at #9 of all time at $370 million. So I highly doubt it will pass the original "Star Wars" at $460. There's still more weeks in the summer to go, of course, but it's only been making about $5 million a week now, and continuing to slow...

I well remember that Superman cartoon on SS (but not as well as you, Sesame Mike. Good rendition.) I also recall the two batman cartoons. The one that jeffkjoe described above about the Joker not looking both ways before crossing the street. Batman's last line was, "Always cross streets at the...

Just wanted to show Sesame Mike the thread I did a few months ago on the same skit. I really liked this skit a lot too. Vintage Oscar! I wouldn't have him any other way! :grouchy: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=19225&highlight=grover

I'm not familiar with the cartoon. Have you seen the film of an actual octopus underwater? It was shown a lot in the early to mid 70's but not sure how much further they played it. Sounded to me like it could have been Luis who shouts, "Octopus!" at the beginning of the film. Answer: 10

Looking at an AP sports baseball recap story from SanFrancisco, I see the franchise won its 9999th game yesterday: "Moises Alou, the Giants' lone representative in next week's All-Star game in Detroit, had two hits in the franchise's 9,999th victory. His managing father is a coach on La...

I'll make a couple comments there. See you there. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERRY NELSON!! Your enormous talent and many voices are highly and permanently appreciated. (By the way, is Bob McGrath's birthday tomorrow (July 11th)? One source says it is but another says August 15th. Both say 1933, so Bob is about to turn 72. And Jerry is 71...

Oh yeah I really loved "Press Your Luck" and "Tic Tac Dough." C'mon Big Bucks! No Whammies! And....... STOP! That music was excellent game show music too. Very fun game. And I think it was during the summer of 1982 I tuned in every day to "Tic Tac Dough" and saw that one guy set the record (at...

Ooh boy, hope that Tornado threat blows over (no pun intended). Here's a link to check the latest storm track. Looks like Alabama and Mississippi are being zeroed in on for tomorrow. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/storm_graphics/AT04/refresh/AL0405W5+gif/211039W_sm.gif

In addition, I think this guy had a beard like the Number Painter did.

That sounds like a fun special, seeing those talents all doing their bits together. :)
