If this is the one I'm thinking of, Grover repeatedly told the passengers on the elevator to "face the front", but they were all facing the rear of the car. At one point he told them, on the count of 3, to "turn completely around." They turned around all right, 360 degrees. Was this how it...

1. Kermit has a weather map along with some cardboard weather icons (cloud, sun, snowman, etc..) He instructs Cookie Monster to put the icons on the map in the appropriate spots, but ends up eating them. A full description may be found at http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=16523...

A mother and daughter go into a mini New York-style market. Mom tells the man behind the counter that they are making soup tonight, and asks for a chicken and some rice. While waiting, the two of them walk off and pick up the veggies. The girl announces each one (including one I didn't quite...

I think it was 1973.

Anyone remember this skit from the first or maybe second season? Ernie decides to prepare himself a snack of milk and cookies. Although I don't remember the exact sequence of events, basically Ernie was preparing the goods in the usual living room spot while frequently walking off-camera, to...

I remember it as a scene of an infant/toddler just banging on piano keys. A shot or two shows the corresponding jarring motion of the hammers inside the piano. The banging fades into "Chopsticks" as we see a girl at about age seven playing on the same piano. The Chopsticks sequence...

Herry is holding up a sign that reads "NO". He walks up to Ernie and, with the sign facing the other way: H: I bet I can make you say this word. E: No you can't! Gotcha! Ernie said the word on the sign, right on cue. Ernie decides that's a good trick so he asks to borrow the sign and...

Here's a few more E+B skits from the first six seasons. The Count takes down Ernie's building-block pyramid while counting it. He rebuilds it, then unbuilds it again, thanks to a mis-timed reprimand. From the very first episode: Ernie is taking a bath, and Bert asks him to hurry it up...

Note that there were two separate E+B skits where they flooded the place. In the one referenced here, Ernie has just come out of the bathtub. He is in the main living area, wrapped in a towel and still drying himself off, but something is bugging him that he forgot to do something when...

Dantecat, The skit with Grover out in the snow and Kermit in his house was probably from one of the two seasons between 1975 and 1977. The basic point of this sketch was that "you have to come inside from the cold, to get warm". However, I think even the youngest kids watching the show...

A Grover and Kermit skit One more skit that had kind of a depressing ending. It's a snowy night in what appears to be a wooded area. We see Kermit inside his house (!) through a window, happily rocking on an orange recliner chair. Then we see a shivering-cold Grover outside, covered in...

6: I described it before right here on this forum. Go to: http://forum.muppetcentral.com/showthread.php?t=17094 12: I have copied the following description from a recent post by a cecilcurtiss on the SESAME_STREET message board in Yahoo! TV Groups: -- begin copied text -- Bert comes...

Here's my list: 1. Cookies in the sugar bowl, sugar in the flower pot... tropical fish in the cowboy hat, saucepan on Bert's head. 2. Chocolate ice cream made from: mashed bananas with ice cubes and gravy on top. Oscar guest stars. 3. Where Cookie Monster (actually Beautiful Day...

Bert moved out I, too, remember when Maria came up with the cowboy and eskimo scenarios for E and B. But there was another time that Bert himself moved out. It was on the tail of the famed "It's time for our checker game" skit. You know how at the end of that sketch Bert marched out to the...

The plan was actually: "I take the golden AN, and put it in the tan van. Which takes it to Dan, who takes it to Fran. That's the plan." Earlier he goofed on parts of the plan. He said to put it in the tan truck, which takes it to Horace (where did THAT name come from?).

Does anyone remember these song routines from circa 1970? Both routines featured some Anything Muppets singing something, then cutting to another scene to illustrate their point. In "Silly Song Time", a bunch of hippie-like AMs walked in front of a large sign with said words. One of them...

Alphabet O'Malley This reminds me a little of the "Alphabet O'Malley" skit. Two male Anything Muppets are friends, and one (AM) asks the other, named Alphabet O'Malley (AO), what his real name is. He responds with: AO: "Arnold, Byron, Charles....." and lists off 26 names in alphabetical...

Toothpaste genie Was it an adult, or another Muppet (Herbert Birdsfoot?) who told us the tale of the toothpaste genie. In the story, Cookie Monster somehow released a genie from a tube of toothpaste, and the genie awarded him three wishes. For his first wish he asks for a big truck. A...

Seal at amusement center, letter S Does anyone remember an animation of a seal who was giving a lecture on the letter S? The seal spoke to us from some kind of amusement ride midway at either an amusement park, carnival, or fair; it wasn't very clear to me at the time. He was actually...

It seems that retromedia.tv has been taken down a while now. The webmaster said that the site was simply not worth his while anymore. It's a pity, too, because there were some commercial and other clips that are simply not available anywhere. I never looked on archive.org, but I doubt they...
