How did these two skits go? Real fun nostalgia perusing over these sketch lists! Am fuzzy on the details of a couple of these Ernie and Bert skits, however. The one where Ernie waits for the man upstairs to drop his shoes I recall fairly well, but forgot for sure how it ends. From what I...

And Farley also was in at least one of the Grover skits where Grover was an elevator operator. It's the one where Grover says the elevator can only hold 5 people so he has to count them. There are a total of five, so they can all go up. But then they tell Grover he can't get on because the...

Yes I remember for sure this was in his castle. Same location of other great Count skits, including my favorite with him where the mailman delivers a few sacks of letters that the Count wrote to himself. So he can count them of course! AH AH AH AH AH AH *thunder&lightning* !!

He was just standing there and I can't recall for sure if his hands were behind his back but I think they were. He was a caucasian with dark hair. Kind of seems like it would be an unmemorable clip and yet it stuck fairly well with me! Seeing a grownup forgetting two letters of the alphabet was...

Wondering if anyone recalls this. From the early 70's I saw this clip several times. It was a man (I'd say about 35 or 40) standing in an empty room and he slowly goes through the alphabet. The letters light up above his head one at a time. It's a pretty stoic clip. About the only thing that...

Yeah those "Heyyyyyy Froggie Babyyyyy!" 's of Grover with the back hits were classic! I remember one time Kermit ducks and Grover goes,"Ahhhhhh!" Kermit proudly says, "Missed me." Grover replies, "Froggy, I was just going to give you a little pat." Kermit says, "I'm well aware of your little...

Yes that's exactly the same one I was talking about. Only difference being the helicopter. Maria did say at the end, "Next time I'll fly the PLANE", but was probably meaning plane in a general sense as any flying object (as the word car is sometimes used for any ground vehicle). But I'm positive...

I haven't thought about this one for a long time but definitely saw it several times in the early 70's. It took place outside on a street sidewalk. The little boy muppet may have been lost and looked for a policeman to help. Or he wasn't lost but simply ran into a policeman while playing...

I never saw this one with Ernie and Bert, however I remember from the mid 70's seeing one just like it with Bert and Maria. Bert and Maria are sitting in 2 chairs on Sesame Street ( in the playground area to the right of Hooper's store). They imagine they are flying a plane with Bert as the...

This one is one of my all time fave SS cartoons. Loved the increasing frustration of that grocer! When the customer said, "Uh what am I thinking" the grocer hilariously in a defeated way says, " I don't know." Then the customer says "She has false teeth; she couldn't very well eat an apple could...

Yeah I recall all those funny details from this very funny skit. As a little child , I at first didn't understand Bert's final line ( "Yeah..swing!") then on later viewings recognized it as the type of music he likes. (I remember one of the beach episodes where he play a transistor radio and...

Yes I remember this entire skit pretty well. And the ending where after Bert finally agrees to play football with Ernie, and Ernie suddenly changing his mind and saying he doesn't feel well and is going to lie down, brings up an interesting idea. When Ernie gets Bert aggravated is it due to his...

How about this one where Ernie and Bert wanted to watch tv in front of the same chair and they kept scheming back and forth to trick the other one out of it. Then they agree to share the chair, but then Herry comes along and tricks them both out of the chair so he can have it. But then they...

Just looking at some of the past posts on this thread, and this one brought back another funny B&E memory. I also loved where Ernie was listening to Bert's heart (while Bert was lying flat out on the table) and started singing. From what I recall, what Ernie sang went like this: "Kathump...

You are right Dr. Tooth. What I meant was SS didn't ever need to try to make Oscar become sweet in order to try to teach kids to have kindness and respect for others. Sorry if the way I worded it was not the best! :)

Yes, exactly, it's the parents job. Children will have already been taught and instilled by their family about what foods are good for you. And it's fine for SS to reinforce that, as they always have ( I recall many 70's segments about the importance of brushing your teeth, for instance). But to...

Another classic skit that I really loved. Grover talking Oscar into playing an alphabet game where they take turns saying something that each letter of the alphabet stands for. Grover chooses all positive words and Oscar, of course, selects negative ones (and the WAY he says them are...

I have the radio on and a few minutes ago the news came on at the top of the hour (10pm eastern time USA). One of the stories a few minutes in was about how the Cookie Monster is eating healthier in Sesame Street's new 36th season. How he will be promoting vegetables and fruits (I believe Grover...

Prairie Dawn skit A skit I saw a lot in the early 70's that I really liked and that I'm sure had Prairie Dawn, involved three muppets demonstrating telling a story. These three were called beginning, middle, and end. Prairie first introduces the beginning and end muppets, who are both purple...

Now my memory is refreshed for all of these numbers! I vaguely recall the 7 and 10 ones, but #5 with the gorilla clearly came back to me. I think the painter and the gorilla also put their arms around each other at the end. And the gorilla and painter also brings to mind the hilarious...
