I thought the skits with Lefty and his boss were a riot. I think Jim was trying to evoke the mood of an early Marlon Brando movie called On The Waterfront. One that took place in the same set- by the docks, with the watery sound effects, and under the light of a crescent moon- was Lefty's...

I remember this one too. It showed not just this one kid, but others getting ready for school. The kid wakes up, takes one look out the window and falls back into bed (as grown-ups, some things never change!). His mom helps him wash his face, put on a shirt and tie, and walk him to school. I...

I don't have a copy of this one, but I think I know about the cartoon you're describing. The little man goes through the course of his day, being stuck between bigger things. On the bus ride to and from work, he's sandwiched between two heavy-set people. At his job, he's stuck on an assembly...

There's also quite a span of time between those clips. the one with the singing orange goes back to the early 70's. And the orange did get decorated with various kitchen objects: buttons for eyes, a walnut nose, a rubber band mouth, flower petals for eyelashes, a feather duster for hair, and...

A few bits of the Bonanza cast ended up on the Electric Company as well.

The Good Captain had a number of important people on his staff that left in the late 60's when the opportunity for Sesame Street came up. Dave Connell, Sam Gibbon, Jon Stone (executive producers), Jeff Moss (songwriter), and (much later) Kevin Clash ended up on the street. Clark Gesner was a...

That was shot right at the Teletape studio where both Sesame Street and the Electric Company were shot. I remember the clip also, but can't remember the players. It could be determined if we knew what numbers were on their uniforms. But I do remember the batter hit a number of bunts, and then he...

the more things change, the more they stay the same Wowee Kazowee!!! I thought I was the only one who'd remember this one, and you've got it down to the last detail! I do remember the film was LONG- about 2 1/2 minutes, which in Sesame Time is a small eternity. But it was great watching the two...

Grover and Oscar's ABC's To the best of my knowledge, here goes: Grover: A is for Apple Oscar: B is for BLECH!!! G: C is for Cute O: D is for Disgusting!!! G: E is for Enjoy O: F is for ??? (help!) G: G is for Grover O: H is for Horrible! G: I...

when life hands you lemons Yes, that one rings a bell. All done in the spirit of cooperation. There was a similar skit, probably with the same kid Muppets. One had a seed, one had a flower pot, and another, since they were on his daddy's farm, had acres of topsoil. They put the seed in the pot...

Where we come from is nowhere near as important as where we're going, and I am me just as surely as you are you. When you get a little older (I'm 38 now) some of the mysteries of life reveal themselves to you.:)

Cookie's skit I remember the skit with Cookie a little differently (unless it's a different clip altogether). Herbert Birdsfoot had a plate of cookies under the plastic lid, which was attached to a pulley. While Herb watched, Cookie came along and discovered all on his own, if he pulled the...

I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Cerf back in January 2004, when he and two of the puppeteers from Between the Lions (Pam Arciero was one of them) held a workshop at the Museum of Television and Radio in New York City. The occassion was the announcement of producing a new season of Lions, and...

I remember them too. The thing that always impressed me about the car film was it looked like an optical illusion of the man stretching the car. Then they'd reverse the film for a few frames to create the illusion of shortening it. But the long car definitely looked cool (the 20's version of...

Ignorance just breeds more ignorance.:attitude:

If you listen to the soundtrack very carefully, that's Jim's voice meekly asking "Please let me in. It's your boy Bumble!" I'd love to have Sweet Adeline's job. A twenty-minute workday sounds awesome! Start at ten past nine, finish at half-past nine, AND have time to stop at the market for...

the test pattern Hey man! You might remember, for a while throughout the 70's. On Saturday morning, on Channel 13, WNET, before they showed Sesame Street (usually around 7 am in the summertime) they showed the rainbow-colored test pattern, and after the electronic beeps and whatnot, they would...

my precious few I was lucky enough to have Loretta Long (Susan) autograph my copy of the first Sesame LP, and Pam (Grungetta) Arciero's autograph (and paw print) of Leona from Between the Lions. Rather than sending away for them, I had the good fortune of meeting them in person.

I sure do remember this one! Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt are great as the two thugs who wait for Lefty to show up. And poor Lefty has no business hanging out with these two. He's a bundle of nerves shaking in his pants, worried that if he makes the smallest mistake, these two might rub him...

the tale of King Minus Gary Owens (The announcer on Laugh-In, and also the voice of Space Ghost) narrated this little ditty, I can't remember the first few lines, but King Minus did have a magic touch that could make things POOF! disappear. Just a touch of his finger brought about this...
