    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    If you're looking for someone who remembers this, I'm sure you could message Fuzzygobo, one of our longtime forum members. He watched Sesame Street in its earliest days (1969-1974 or so) and has many vivid memories of some extremely rare segments. Hoperfully he'll be able to share his...

    Poems, Haikus, and Whatnot(s)

    Well, it's been a while since I've posted. Since I am no longer writing SS old school outlines, I will keep this thread active. Let's get started with an all-new fan fiction inspired by the blizzard that is supposed to hit the Northeast. (This one-shot is also based on the famous 2001 episode...

    What Sesame Street moments made you laugh?

    I also love the skit that is highlighted in my signature: Ernie and Cookie Monster's identity crisis (circa 1973-1975). Best parts: Ernie and Cookie stare at each other in PERFECTLY synchronized movements (it still amazes me how well Jim & Frank did that…shows you how masterful their puppetry...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I saw Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden on Friday, and this very cool, laid-back singer opened for him. Here, he turns a Rihanna hit upside down…and I prefer this version to the original. (Of course, Billy was sensational as always! Great concert with lots of classics and obscure tunes...I...

    What Sesame Street moments made you laugh?

    I would like to bring up the skit where Biff hangs up Salvador Dada's artwork. It's impossible not to laugh at Jim's pompous faux French and Jerry's spot-on New York accent (Dada: "THIS NEXT ONE MONSIEUR…I've entitled FOUR!" Biff: "Four, hah?" Dada: "FAAAWWRR!!!"). But the best part of the whole...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    I've recently discovered Frank Zappa's music after playing an all-Zappa percussion ensemble tribute concert two days ago. People are split on him…they either love him or they hate him. While I don't find all of his music aurally or morally pleasing (Sam the Eagle would definitely not approve of...

    Christmas: Are they shoving it down our throats too early?

    I don't want to imagine how Crayola candy canes would taste. I fear that it might be like biting into a red-and-white striped crayon… Here in NYC, holiday spirit is in full bloom. Macy's on 34th Street had a Christmas-related display BEFORE Thanksgiving, and I've been seeing trees, decorations...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    Hmmm, you might be right about that. I forgot that John L. used to work on SS back then. And to quote Drtooth, this sketch would have been much more hilarious with the revamped Guy Smiley voice as done by Jim Henson. This brings to mind the 15 commercial from the Count Counts album (1975)...

    Are there Season 1 shows floating around?

    Seeing all these early skits confirms for me the idea, as stated by Joan Ganz Cooney and many others, that Sesame Street was inspired by Laugh-In in its earliest stages. Couldn't you see the Brand X commercial being done on Laugh-In? Or a wacky bit like "Ernie and the egg" or "The A TV"? Even as...

    The 'What Song Are You Currently Listening To?' Thread

    Even though I'm a classic rock geek, I do like Maroon 5. And since Adam Levine idolizes the Beatles, it's cool when stuff like this comes out.
