    Any Green Acres fans here?

    Yes definitely, he will be best remembered as Oliver Wendall Douglas. He did a great job developing that character. It's the same with Jackie Gleason best being remembered as Ralph Kramden, Carroll O'Connor best remembered as Archie Bunker, and Don Knotts as Barney Fife (although Knotts' Ralph...

    Buddy and Jim question

    I don't remember Buddy and Jim, since I was only about 2 or 3 when they would have been on and I never got to see any Unpaved epsiodes from Noggin. But I do remember Ralph and Wally. I recall Wally as being tall and Ralph short with a balding head (and a mustache maybe?) I vaguely remember the...

    What's your favorite letter segment?

    I remember that one well. Can recall exactly how the sounds of the whistling and bow-wow went. It reminds me of another animated one that wasn't a letter segment. I'm sure you recall it. A man said he has the world's smartest dog (Rover) and that he taught him to read. He held up a sign that...

    Herbert Birdsfoot

    Wow I haven't thought about that sketch since I saw it over 30 years ago. I definitely recall that fan and Grover yelling, "Herb!" as he was being blown across the screen. The Ernie borrowing a vacuum cleaner from Herbert skit is a great one. I also liked the one where Grover is afraid of his...

    My Cousin's Christening

    Her name is Abigail. Already everyone is calling her Abby. I imagine her parents will call her Abigail when she misbehaves! :)

    Your Favorite Cartoons on Sesame Street

    I thought of one with a man (might have been a professor) , a boy, and a bird (that I think looked sort of like Heckle and Jeckle). The man was either trying to teach the boy about the letter n or was trying to show the boy how the bird could talk. Anyway, I do recall he asked the bird to say a...

    Favorite Fast Food Restaurant

    Do you know what city it's in? I know of one in Dover, Delaware but that's a 2 hour drive from here.

    When does Sesame Street come on on your station?

    As Dantecat mentioned a while ago, WHYY shows Sesame Street at 10am here weekdays. WNJS, from Camden, NJ which also is viewable in Philly, shows SS at 9:30am. And the Allentown, PA pbs station (WLVT) shows SS both at 8am and at 3pm. And it shows "The Electric Company" at 4pm. Just kidding on...

    What's your favorite Grover sketch?

    Another very funny Grover one had him with John John. A lot of people recall the hilarious segment with John John and Herry Monster where Jon Jon suddenly starts shouting the numbers at #14. There was a counting one with Grover that was likewise uproarious. Grover asks John John if he can count...

    Remember Farley?

    One also just came back to me in the 70's of Farley standing at that wall with a child. He asks him if he can count to 12. The boy says he can count to 12 hundred! Farley replies, "1200? Well... I think I'd rather hear you count to 12." (Jerry Nelson wanted to be able to go home to dinner that...

    Favorite Sesame human of all time

    It's really hard to pick one. I found every single SS adult to be very likable. If I had to select one I guess it would be Gordon. He exhibited a certain blend of maturity, kindness, and intelligence that made me feel good as a child. Kind of like he was a good tv father figure in a way.

    My Cousin's Christening

    Yeah I became Uncle Ziff for the first time 2 months ago. :) It was a very nice time this morning. Got to see some family from Georgia that I haven't seen in four years, the weather is absolutely gorgeous, and the baby didn't cry during the church service once (she politely waited until she...
