Having Jesse Jackson on was the closest they ever came to realizing that dream. Unfortunately, bigotry was still an ugly fact of life back then (same now). In 1969, when the cast members went around the country to promote the show, some stations in Mississippi and Louisiana didn't want...

I don't have the single,but I do have the LP. To the best of my knowledge "Bein' Green" was the flip side. I know how you feel. I still have a sizeable vinyl collection and a working turntable. Fortunately my copies of the first two Sesame LPs are in near-mint condition. I picked them up...

I had a set of rubber finger puppets. I believe there was Ernie, Bert, Oscar, Big Bird, and Cookie Monster. I also had some of the first record albums, and the hardcover Time/Life book set- People in Your Neighborhood, the Book of Numbers, Letters, Shapes, etc. I won't dare sell them on...

A few more Thre's also an early one where he double-tracked his vocals, so he can harmonize with himself, tentatively titled "Eating" To the best of my memory: Eating makes a fine warm coat And wings quite good for flying Eating makes your bones grow straight Without your even trying...

I'm one of the few people who can lay claim to seeing these when they originally aired. Granted, I was still in my playpen at the time, but I dinstinctly remember the days when Oscar was orange and Grover was greeny-brown. But when your family only had a black-and-white set, it didn't make much...

Have you?:smirk:

#1 Baker film Yes, this film does exist, but was only shown a handful of times during the 70's. I was lucky enough to catch it maybe two or three times, tops. To the best of my memory, here were the items featured: Bill Polnazecki (who later appeared as Wally with Paul Price as Ralph, in...

The Roches would be a good educated guess, but I don't think it's them. I've seen the Roches in concert, and their repetoire is (at least in 1995 when I saw them) mainly a capella folk music (vocals with no instruments), without any really big country influence. So I'm taking a stab in the...

I remember too, if vaguely. I remember the line about shooting marbles called "aggies" (with colored swirls in them) and "A pickle for a nickel was a treat!" (Personally, I'd spend the nickel on a Hershey bar and a Coke). Let's hope someday youtube or a future Old School box set revives...

Susan (Loretta Long) had a good set of pipes too. She got quite a bit of exposure on the first two Sesame albums: I Got Two One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others) Nearly Missed Picture A World The Garden and my all-time fave rave, Someday Little Children She also got to sing as...

If you enjoyed it, then it was a good enough reason for doing it.

I'm partial to the green one with the pointy head, and for all the musical numbers they used him in *Lulu's Back in Town *Mad! (Little Jerry and the Monotones) *Octopus's Garden- too bad they didn't include this in the box set. to name just a few.

Here's an answer Somewhere on the vast expanse of this board, a thread was posted about it. That was for a clip of the number 3, where a little red ball coasts along this rollercoaster track. And along its path it hits little spinners, goes through baskets, etc. The layout of this track is...

I agree with a lot that has been said here. I was lucky enough to grow up with both shows in my childhood, and there is still something to be gained from watching vintage clips of these shows again. Not just for the sake of nostalgia. Both shows can be appreciated by people of all ages. There...

To help you out, as far as having other cast members lending their voices, he's a little bit about what was going on. In the very first season, the only acknowledged puppeteers were Jim, Frank, Carroll Spinney, and Jim's wife Jane. It was very helpful to have other cast members lend their voices...

one more addition Most of you may be too young to remember, but in 1970 Jaime Sanchez joined as Miguel. He didn't stay too long, but he was the first human addition to the original cast, and the first Hispanic, before Rafael, Maria, or Luis.

There was the faded mural on the fence between Hooper's Store and 123 that had a palm tree. And in the very first season, there was a painting on the side of Hooper's Store that had some smaller trees under a big sun. I think the motifs give a good flavor of what existed at the time in urban...

For the life of me, I could never understand the logic as stated in the Unpaved book about Roosevelt Franklin being taken off for being in any way a negative stereotype. It's true that in the later classroom scenes, some of the kids may have acted a little rambunctious, but just about the...
