Dang me, I DON'T REMEMBER!!!! :o

2 boys and the turtle Nice Joe Raposo incidental music. Shows 2 boys (then one) on the turtle. Even a goat gets in the act and climbs on the turtle, until one of the boys pushes him off. Meanwhile the poor turtle patiently endures all this, although secure in the knowledge he will live longer...

fainting at Charlie's They started this run of clips around 1972, and steadily added to them until sometime in the mid-80's. The only times anyone ever fainted: 1) Probably the very first skit, Fat Blue orders alphabet soup, and several letters are missing. Grover helps out by bringing...

earlier closing credits I also like the closing credits from circa 1972. Same music as the Barkley credits, but visually it's a drawing of all the Muppets (Starting with Grover flying an airplane) that scrolls down and ends at Street level by Oscar's garbage can. If you watch carefully, you...

Okay, I'm going to pick your brains here. Suppose you were stranded on a desert island, but you did have a DVD player and a tv, and you were able to have ONE Sesame clip. Just one. What would it be? And before people get too analytical in thinking "Where would you plug in a tv and DVD player...

the big bust Very close. Lefty finally gets it straight that everything rhymes, just in time to get nabbed by the cop. "I'm Stan. I'm the man. You'll get ten days in the can for stealing the Golden AN. Let's go." "Aww, I shoulda ran!" And you're right, Stan leads him off to jail just...

one more ball skit There was one more skit of five pink balls bouncing against the black background and they decided they wanted to play basketball. They determined they needed five, and after several botched attempts, they discovered yes, there's five of them, they can play! Until one of the...

The boy who cried Monster Maria also tackled Aesop's Fable of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, except this time the threat was Cookie Monster, who treatened to take the villagers' cookies. After two false alarms, CM does show up, and the boy calls for the other villagers to help him, but to no avail. "I...

Not exactly sure, but sometime in the late 70's. Bob's groovy polyester leisure suit gave it away. :D

You remember right I too remember Bob getting into Oscar's can, and knowing Bob was in for the worst! He's climbing into the can, and Oscar warns him to be careful of his fire-breathing dragon. "Oscar, there's no such thing as a..." Then smoke comes streaming out of the can, and Bob acts...

More John Magnuson info Before Sesame Street, John Magnuson was also involved in one of Lenny Bruce's last projects before he died, an animated short called "Thank You Masked Man", which was a hilarious spoof on the Lone Ranger. The short was released in May 1968 and was shown before various...

wisecracking ball Frank Oz as the wisecracking ball was hysterical. He also mentions he has a cousin that got sat on and squashed out of shape, so now he's a football for the Green Bay Packers. :) There was at least one other skit featuring Ernie and four little pink balls who can't tell...

There are two skits that feature them from the early 70's. They're Martians and they land on earth and explore our world. In one skit they find a telephone, and according to their little red book, they try communicating by making various animal sounds (cow, cat, chicken) but to no avail...

a book about cookies and a glass of juice? There's almost a parallel here between this skit and an animated clip from The Electric Company of the sailor asking the waitress for "A cup of coffee and a sweet roll." Cookie asks for several different books, and a box of cookies, not recognizing...

praying for peace I really hope that this effort comes to fruition. Just like Fraggle Rock, Sesame Street has always been based on peace, love, understanding, tolerance, and having an open mind and open heart. I pray these lessons can be imparted and these programs will someday see the light of...

more from Joe Well, if Joe didn't sing "Goodbye Garbage", who did? Some others to add to the ever-expanding list: Feeling Alright With Five (with footage of swimming pengiuns) and some more animal instrumentals: Giraffe (very jazzy with flute and vibes) Seahorse (later reused with...

before and after cookies I haven't seen this clip in eons, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Every time Ernie lifted the cover, he grabbed a cookie (look like Oreos). He demonstrates for our benefit four times: "Before I can have a cookie, I have to lift the cover. After I lift the...

Muppets go to Hollywood TV Land ran a Flip Wilson marathon last year, and there was also an episode where Susan and Big Bird appeared. Susan had a big musical number where we got to count to 20, and Big Bird, Flip, and I'm trying to remember his other guest star, all joined in. Susan was joined...

more Joe songs I'm surprised nobody else came up with What Do You Do When You're A Kangaroo Pretty Baby (with the kissing rhinos!) Eating (which he double-tracks his voice to sound like he's harmonizing with himself) Goodbye Garbage! Some other instrumental pieces for animals: Hawk...

Chicken soup for the witches' soul I loved that one, especially the pyrotechnics involved (Jim loved using smoke bombs like this). After each witch cast their spell, a little charge went off, a little flash, and a little puff of smoke. Then at the end, when they all cooperated, the fun really...
