    Ernie and Bert both want the same chair

    I had thought about that as a possibility but the only thing that seemed like that couldn't have been the case is because wouldn't the dog have realized that for the kids to both share the chair it would mean he would forced off? However, I guess he could have made an oversight about this. Or...

    Any Green Acres fans here?

    D'Snowth and you other "Green Acres" fans, take a look at jumptheshark.com and the comments on "Green Acres". 80% of people voting say it never even jumped the shark. That's a super high percentage. Just about any other show I've seen has a majority of people specifying a time it jumped the...

    big Bigger BIGGEST

    Thought of a couple old SS that demonstrated big, bigger and biggest. One had three anything monster muppets. The first said of himself, "Big!" Then he laughed heh heh heh. The second one said of himself, "Bigger!" and then laughed even more sinisterly. But then the third one came on the scene...

    Ernie and Bert both want the same chair

    Animated sketch of two both wanting the same chair There was also an animated one with a boy and a girl fighting over the same chair: Boy: "Don't you just love my chair?" Girl: "Your chair? Ha! It happens to be my chair." Boy: "It's mine!" Girl: "It's mine!" Boy: "It's mine!" Girl...

    50 greatest shows of all time

    Looks like this very thing happened to me too - it's been a month since the last post here! :) I now have the complete third season of "The Jeffersons" and am going through a couple of those each day. As I said, I wouldn't rank it as high as "All in the Family" but I still find it to be...

    New movies coming out...

    "Batman Begins" might be a really great movie. I watched the latest "Ebert and Roeper" at the movies this past weekend and they gave an early review of the movie (it opens June 15th). They both gave it big thumbs up and said it's the best of the "Batman" movies. Roeper said as good as the...

    Luis and Maria sketch

    Yes that's what I meant the entire wall behind her where she put the picture. And yeah I just looked at the SS cast thread and you mentioned there about Luis and the spaghetti. I was also going to mention another 70's Luis and Maria one where he said "Cerrado" for closed and she said "Alberto"...

    Luis and Maria sketch

    Another 70's one with Luis and Maria had Luis first telling the audience about how useful tools can be around the house. He was opening a can of spaghetti with a can opener. But then when he picked up the can I think it all came out the bottom and onto the table. And he sighed or shrugged his...

    A couple of skits with anything muppets

    I thought of a couple of sketches that both had anything muppets. The first one had a muppet pumping gas at a gas station. A muppet pulls up and asks to have his car filled up. Meanwhile another customer comes (off camera) and the attendant fills up their car with gas in about five seconds...

    How's the weather where you are?

    Philadelphia got to 91 this afternoon but then a lot of thunderstorms after 4pm cooled things off a bit.

    Bad Bart

    I wondered the same thing. Interesting coincidence about both SS and TEC having a Bad Bart character. I remember the one you mentioned in TEC with Morgan Freeman and Skip Hinnant showing him the exit. I believe just as there were several Bad Bart skits in SS, that there were also several TEC Bad...

    This thread is brought to you by the letter H!

    I remember an animated h segment with a little man and a much bigger size man. I'm a little fuzzy about how the very beginning goes. I think the big guy asks the little guy if he can think of any h words. And he hands a letter h to him that is really cumbersome because it is about as big as he...

    Sesame Street films

    I recall the line now about the fish without teeth being thrown back, and very vaguely about the narrator having a brother. And that makes sense about the net scene lasting quite a while because that part I recollect the most. Thanks for these details, Sesame Mike. Your memory is superb! :)

    New Electric Company TV Show and DVD

    I'm happy to say that the DVDs will be from the 70's shows. :) Here's a quote from the tv guide article: "Equally electrifying is news that DVD sets of the 1971-1977 "Electric Company" featuring Rita Moreno, Bill Cosby, and a pre-stardom Morgan Freeman will be released later this year."

    New Electric Company TV Show and DVD

    I just fetched my new TV guide and read the great news on page 18! Boy that'll be great if they do indeed release DVD sets of the 1971-1977 Electric Company later this year! Hopefully the sales will do really well and some DVD's of classic Sesame Street will follow. :) By the way, the last...

    Favorite Sesame human of all time

    Ah I see on post#19 that you mentioned that she said in an interview that she started doing the show in season 3 (1971). So I guess the sources that say 1973 or 1974 are erroneous (unless 1973 was the first year she was a REGULAR cast member. But that's probably doubtful since there really...

    Favorite Sesame human of all time

    He was also in his early 20's when Maria started the show in 1973. So I was just pointing out that I thought it would be unlikely for them to have an adult be interested in Maria if she was supposed to still be a minor on the show. That's true, just like the point raised before that often in...

    Favorite Sesame human of all time

    Yeah, while it's true that actors in their 20's often have played the roles of teenagers ( as in "Happy Days" ), it seems likewise to me that her character was supposed to be her actual age of early 20's. She just seemed to relate to the other adults (and vice versa) that way. (Then again, to a...

    Any Green Acres fans here?

    That one is called, "Arnold, Boy Hero". The bank robbers robbed the Pixley Bank as Arnold was trying to open up an account there. :) Yes, Arnold could do it all. As Fred would proudly say, "That's my boy!"
