    Favorite Bert and Ernie Sketch

    I'm not sure if this has been brought up on any of the Ernie and Bert threads before or not, but a great classic one is the Ten Q one! Ernie asks Bert to count to ten with him using the letter Q. Ernie starts with one Q. Then Bert says, "Two Q." And they continue until Bert says, "Ten Q." Then...

    Ernie and Bert: The licorice (70's)

    Yes that's right, I think it's reasonable to assume that Bert ate that ice cream cone off screen that Oscar gave him. And also a good assumption that Bert ate that half cookie, considering how highly exasperated he got when Ernie asked him to share it (but even if Ernie did manage to get Bert...

    This thread is brought to you by the letter U!

    The voice of that cartoon guy who played the letter u like a guitar sounded just like Howard Sprague (played by Jack Dodson) the county clerk on "The Andy Griffith Show". Just a little aside. I'm not sure if it was Howard who they got to do the voice but I always thought it sounded exactly like...

    Sesame Street films

    Oh yeah this is a real good one. I think he knocked over his milk on accident. He kept saying Actually it was this or that until he finally said, "Actually it was me." I enjoyed how it showed everything that he mentioned (like a gorilla and a baseball player) come in the kitchen and knock over...

    Any Green Acres fans here?

    You betcha! I have both seasons 1&2 on dvd. I had preordered season 2 on Amazon in February and was eagerly awaiting my copy to arrive on April 10th. As soon as season 3 becomes available, I'll put in my order. Yeah, it's great to have complete uncut shows and in such good quality. Here's...

    50 greatest shows of all time

    My best all time tv shows are Green Acres, The Andy Griffith Show, The Honeymooners, All in the Family, I Love Lucy, The Flintstones, The Twilight Zone, The Wonder Years, and , of course, Sesame Street. Two other ones that were film shorts but have been shown in tv show format for years that I...

    Your Thoughts: Muppets on America's Funniest Videos

    Just finished watching the show. Pretty funny videos as usual for AFHV. I enjoyed a lot of the animal ones, like the giraffe, camel, and the little girl stashing away all those frogs where the sun doesn't shine! The use of the muppets throughout was enjoyable. I always especially get a kick...

    Any Green Acres fans here?

    Oh yes I LOVE this show. "Green Acres" is my favorite show of all time. It's why I chose my name here to be Ziffel. Arnold Ziffel the pig is great, but I get an even bigger kick out of his "father" Fred Ziffel! And Doris rocks too. Just like SS, Green Acres is loaded with lots of well...

    Ernie and Bert: The licorice (70's)

    Yes a brilliant observation Xerus! :D I'm trying to think if I recall ever seeing Bert eat any food. The only one that comes to mind so far is the one where Ernie and Bert make peanut butter sandwiches. While Ernie was spreading the peanut butter on the bread, Bert was really excited and said...

    Ernie talking about what to do tomorrow

    Yeah really! Like that skit where Ernie wants to go to a parade, circus, or a birthday party with Bert but instead spends his day looking at Bert's bottlecap collection, which is fascinating to Bert but boring to Ernie. At the end Ernie is very melancholy and says sarcastically, "It sure has...

    Any MC members in Maryland?

    Thank you Janice. Yeah back in '78, 2 years after we moved from MD, my family and I had a nice vacation which included a visit to our Silver Spring neighborhood and friends, and to DC to see the Smithsonian Institution and a Washington Redskins game. And when I visited the old area in 2001, I...

    Any MC members in Maryland?

    From Silver Spring, Maryland. Just 10 miles from D.C. and about 20 from Baltimore. That's where my Sesame Street days were from! Moved to NewYork in 1976 when I was 9. I visited the old area in the summer of 2001 for the first time since seeing an old friend in 1985. Incredible how much...

    Runaway bride on toast on eBay

    I see the auction has ended with the winning bid at $15,400. I also see there are hundreds of other items on ebay up for bids that pertain to the runaway bride, like wedding invitations, bumper stickers, and other toasts and pancakes! Hmmmm. The title of a classic movie seems appropriate here...

    Runaway bride on toast on eBay

    Hear about this bizarre story? That runaway bride, Jennifer Wilbanks (which was a bizarre story right there!) is now selling on ebay. This guy sketched her face on a piece of toast and put it up for bids on ebay. Apparently he was just joking around ( in view of the grilled cheese sandwich...

    Ernie talking about what to do tomorrow

    After just posting about a skit where Ernie keeps Bert awake by talking about shapes, I thought of this one where he keeps Bert awake by talking about what he should do the next day. As they are about to go to sleep Ernie asks Bert, "What do we do tomorrow, Bert?" Bert just wants to sleep and...

    Shape segments

    Ernie talking about shapes This Ernie and Bert skit comes to mind when I think about shape segments. Bert is trying to sleep and Ernie is yet again disturbing him by chattering on and on about various shapes, like the number of sides a rectangle, square, and triangle have. But then he mentions...

    Ernie and Bert: The licorice (70's)

    The classic licorice whip candy one! Ernie brings home a surprise for Bert - a bag of licorice whip candy that they can share. Bert is delighted and puts his arms around Ernie saying, "My buddy." But poor Bert won't get to eat any of it! Ernie keeps trying to make the pieces even and eats the...
