Two common types of letter segments Two kinds of letter segments I remember Sesame Street using a lot during my childhood in the 70's were: (1) A voice would say, "These are the letters u and n. together they make this sound: un. un. (Then another letter such as r would appear in the...

This was a pretty funny and bizarre one. It was called "The Princess and the Cookie." A cookie was placed under a stack of about 20 mattresses and the princess was played by The Cookie Monster! Kermit the Frog was in "her" bedroom covering the story and at one hilarious part Cookie asks, "Wait a...

The male muppet's name was Maurice in this skit. After he assembled her facial parts he said, "Sweetheart, I love you, love you. love you." She replied, "Maurice, I don't love you." After he finished his song and his gruesome dismembering, she says, "Maurice, I could never love you. Hmmph."...

Remember a skit with a female muppet standing in front of a mirror and talking about how her reflection in the mirror will always do exactly the same thing she does? For instance, she noted how if she hops up and down, her reflection will also hop up and down. She was pretty happy and...

I took this skit to be an example of Grover being well meaning but naive and not too bright. Kind of like the skit with him and Kermit where he is freezing out in the wintry snow and comes to Kermit's house. He asks Kermit how he can get warm. Kermit keeps telling Grover to come inside the house...

3 frogs hopping over each other Anyone remember the cartoon with 3 frogs hopping over each other? They would say in order from left to right,"First, middle, last." Then the frog on the right (that was last) would hop over to the left of the frog on the left (so that he was now first)...

This one I remember too and interestingly I could never make out what the second line the lizard said was either! I remember the girl was smiling while the lizard sang and I remember the music that played in the background. After he says, "I dream of Jeannie with the light brown hair" it also...

Probably the most hilarious Kermit skit to me was that What Happens Next machine he invents. Especially loved the lines, "Now what do you want to bet the lid won't open" and , after the lid does open but the balloon won't release, "Hey listen balloon! You come out of there or I might not be...

I don't recall this one either. Was it made in the early 70's?

Remember a real short song that showed a circle above a rhinoceros (not a cartoon) The song went something like, "Round baby round baby round.." And the song by Little Jerry and the Monotones, "We're Mad" is a popular one that many seem to remember. But the "We're Sad" and "Proud" ones get...

Ah I see you had brought this very segment up once before and that it was indeed Kermit in it. Thanks Mike. I can't quite recall Kermit's reaction to the giant laughing but still remaining there, but I think it was one of his characteristic frustrated reactions. The sound of the giant laughing...

Here's a segment I remember seeing from about 1975 or 1976 (though it may have been made a little before then). I'm rather fuzzy on this one. I recall a big human foot that I think was on the often used wall. I think this person might have been supposed to be a giant, and we only see his foot...

And how about another football cartoon where a man in a football jersey wearing a helmet and holding a football is talking about the letter f. He mentions that f is his favorite letter because it reminds him of his favorite sport. When he asks if anyone wants to guess what that sport is, someone...

This was asked in another thread before. Here's the link where you can check out a bunch of muppet fan opinions on their favorite Bert and Ernie skit: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=13084 I posted there that I have so many B&E's I like that it's hard to select a favorite...

One of the funniest Grover moments for me was the waiter one where Fat Blue kept changing his mind on his order (first he wanted 2 strips of bacon and 2 eggs, then 3 strips of bacon and 1 egg). When Grover brought this food to him, he smiles and says, "Uh, you might think this is gonna sound...

At this forum we enjoy discussing the muppets and other SS items with each other. But I was wondering if any of my fellow classic Sesame Street fans here ever bring up classic clips to people at work, in their family, etc. :) Kind of a different question but I was just curious. For me, from...

Not at all. I appreciate that. I had looked at the previous alphabet threads, so this favorite letters thread is a cool one to also look over.

How about these two alphabet segments? A cartoon with a girl named Gloria singing her "alphabet song" as her unseen instuctor puts it. There were at least two skits made with her singing the abc's. The one I remember best was where she suddenly races through l m n o p. The instructor says...

Remember this very enjoyable sketch with Bill Cosby and four children? He was sitting down with 4 boys standing behind him (except one was hiding behind the middle one). He says to the viewers, "Hi, I'm sitting here with my 3 friends." They say, "Four." He turns back to count , "1,2,3". Then...

Ah I didn't think of that song. Could very well be, especially considering that S&G song was released in 1970. I remember they used that late 60's song by Tiny Tim, "Tip Toe Through the Tulips." That was in a cartoon where the man says, "A...Ape." And then in the box above him an ape appears...
