Cookie and Grover There's a nice one where Cookie Monster is by a Bus Stop sign. Cookie: "This is the word BUS, which means the bus comes by here. This is the word STOP, which means the bus stops here. (Off-screen sound of a running motor) "BEEP BEEP!!" Cookie: "Oh, good, here...

Being small I always thought that was a neat clip. Big Bird imagined he was walking along Mr. Hooper's counter, and seeing some small things now reaching giant proportions. There was a rubber duckie - I think Bird gave him a small squeeze, but instead of getting a little "Squeak" the thing...

Away from Harvey Yep, I remember that one too. Harvey was selling the little guy on the virtues of being "AWAY FROM" something (superimposed text). It's amazing back then- Herry beats the little guy up, and the other muppets walk all over him. We got to watch clips like this, and I'm sure we...

Carroll's pending retirement I've heard him say on tv specials, and mention in print, Carroll would like to continue to perform Big Bird and Oscar for as long as he's able to. I really admire his dedication. He's 72, and his devoted over half his life to Sesame Street. Unfortunately, we're ALL...

I remember this one! Ernie kept writing 4 on the easel to keep track of his four apples (like he really needs to keep inventory), and crossing it out and writing 3 if Cookie takes one. During the end of the scene, when Cookie can't decide whether he wants an apple or not, he actually goofs...

To the best I can remember, Simon Soundman (actually Fat Blue with black hair and moustache, F.B.'s was brown, and Simon usually wore a hat) stopped by Ernie's place. He wanted to take his "WAHHHHHHHHH!!!!(baby)" to a farm to see various animals like a "NEEEEIIIIIIGGGGHHHH!!!!(horse) and a...

Yes, all the above are true. Kermit was in Gordon's apartment when he was asked if he'd give a lecture on the letter "W". He agreed and hopped away. On every subsequent episode, the clip that shows Kermit on the brick wall with the "W" still begins: "Hiya! Kermit the Frog here, and Gordon...

Man, I tell you, if you guys don't beat all. I remember this one too. It's been ages- but here's what I remember. Yes, Jim voiced the Daddy/Fat Blue Muppet, and Frank was the son. It looked like he was pink, had red hair, and had a striped shirt on. The son asked if they could switch...

Ernie usually did get the jump on poor Bert, but not always. 1. Once Bert convinced Ernie to throw out his "R" collection, and Bert got to use the now empty box to store his "J" collection. 2. Bert bet Ernie his banana he couldn't think of ten things you can do with your fingers, and Ernie...

Luis makes one more There have been times when Big Bird, Ernie, or Cookie have been asked (usually against Mr. Hooper's better judgement) to watch the store for a while, but there is one notable exception. For one brief shining moment, way back in the 70's, Luis tried running Hooper's Store...

In a very early Guy Smiley game show called Pick Your Pet, Little Bird appeared and was voiced by Jim. The object of the game was the contestant (Betty Lou) got a chance to select one of three creatures as her pet. Her choices were Little Bird, a dog, and Beautiful Day Monster. Little Bird...

Let me recap the best I can for some newcomers here. Against an orange background, a triangle appears out of a speck on the horizon, and dances to a jazz waltz tune. Narrator: "Once there was a very jazzy triangle who just loved to dance." On some threads posted way back when this topic...

My memory is a little cloudy on this one. I do remember the skit somewhat, but not to add to the confusion- are you sure it was Prairie Dawn, and not Betty Lou? I do remember Fran Brill performed her, and it's possible they could've used the Betty Lou muppet since Frank was already busy playing...

I remember Linda Bove in an episode of Happy Days where she had a date with Fonzie. Sonia Manzano (Maria) had a small part with Charles Bronson in the first Death Wish movie (1974). Roscoe Orman was in a 70's blaxploitation movie called Big Willie Dynamite. Rosalind Cash (the voice of...

It's funny how when the witch first asks the boys if they want to hear the "A" story, they got their own excuses. Boy 1: "Well, I got a bus to catch!" Boy 2: "And I gotta go feed my pet elephant!" But after hearing the story, and asked what they thought, they both replied with a unanimous...

Yes, this was posted a while ago, but nice to bring up again. It's amazing how expressive Jim and company can be with just their hands. No puppets, no dialogue, just hands. I was also nice to see how the hands resolve their conflict by sharing. One cuts the cake, the other gets first choice of...

It was cool in Ernie's segment where they had the camera overhead as he put the cookies in the egg carton. At one point Ernie even looks up to the camera and waves "Hi up there!" And at the end, after Cookie Monster eats Ernie's cookies and takes his egg, he throws the egg up in the air and...

I may not have any tangible proof beyond my own memory, but it was Ernie, dressed up as Robin Hood, looking for someone to join his band of Merry Men. Yes, the first applicant was bawling his eyes out because he dropped his sandwich in the river, and was not having a good day. Next! The...

I remember the second one as well. And it's amazing what one can do with just an acoustic guitar and a human voice. I can't remember all the verses, apart from the one on buttercups, except The sunflowers are the grandest, with stems like little trees But when they start to blossom, only...

In the very first episode, Gordon's very first words to Sally were: "You're gonna love Sesame Street, Sally. EVERYTHING happens here!" We see Muppets and monsters interacting with the kids and the grown-ups, but after 15 years, the grownups still stubbornly refuse to believe that Snuffy could...
