on the way to Santa Fe Seems to me I remember Susan went with Gordon. They ended up sleeping in a tent and sharing a sleeping bag. They got into an argument over the other one hogging all the blankets, when Oscar pops up between them. How he got in there was beyond me. :grouchy: Does seem...

more faves Recently I visited the Philadelphia Zoo, and each animal I saw had its own music, and the memories just came flooding back to me. Gazelles Seahorses Peacock Lions David singing "Who You Lookin' At, Tiger?" Pelicans and my all-time favorite "What do you do, when you're a...

groovy baby! The "loaf of bread, container of milk, and stick of butter" cartoon was done by an animator called John Simon. Some of his other creations included: 1. A girl playing a flute, and showing all her winter clothes she's going to wear when she takes out her new sled the next day...

3 favorites Boy oh boy, how to whittle down thirty-five years worth of animations into a few... there are the usual suspects, like lower-case n and Capital I, but some others, if I had to pick three... 1. c- cake, Clarence eating the whole birthday cake 2. e- the boy flying away with the...

I remember! Aristotle (Ari for short) was a purple/blueish monster performed by Richard Hunt, and get this- he was blind! I thought it was really neat the way they incorporated him into the street scenes, just like with Linda being deaf. He seemed to relate just fine with kids, and he never...

This might help There are several clips like that. What you are describing are clips of the Mummenschanz. They're a mime troupe from Switzerland. Jim had them as guests on the Muppet Show in 1976/77, and then they got to appear on Sesame Street. There are some other clips where they actually...

same and different I'll always keep going back to Season 1, but one skit I enjoyed was Kermit demonstrating "Same", with two rectangles that are the same color, size, etc. Then Cookie takes a bite out of one, making them different. After he takes his bite, he holds the piece in his mouth, and...

1 to 20 My personal favorite was from 1970, with the birds. Each time a new number came on, another bird was added. Then at 20, a huge bird came down, the other 19 settled around him. But what really sent me over the moon was the music. Fantastic jazz, with scat singing, and a great line-up...

One cartoon that always made me laugh was for the letter 'C'. The guy mentions many words begin with 'C', like the word "CAKE" ("SIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!") but the best kind of all is a birthday cake. Man: "Why thank you Clarence! And it isn't even my birthday today!" Clarence: "I know!"...

Ernie gets Bert's goat again, when he has two plates of pizza (anchovy and pepperoni) and two glasses of grape juice, and Ernie obviously has more. After eating most of his to balance things out, he finds Bert has more and he has less, so he starts eating Bert's share. Could've easily called...

One time Bob tried getting into Oscar's can, and gets the seat of his pants burned off by Oscar's fire-breathing dragon. The show ends with Bob climbing out of the can, covered in muck from head to foot, his clothes ripped to shreds, and he walks slowly back to his door while everyone else on...

small j Yes, Xerus, I too remember the "Small J" with the j getting paint thrown on him, and being used to make words like jump, juggle, jumble, and joke. Then the Spanish version (jota minuscula), which doesn't translate as well, but has been used a lot more. The English version RULES...

Kermit and the Count Once the Count crashed in on one of Kermit's News Flash segments. He interferes with Kermit trying to interview the 3 Little Pigs. (Kermit gets the door slammed in his face, which puts his nose slightly out of joint). But things only got better when Kermit went next door...

One of the many cool things of Sesame Street was since day one it was heavily merchandised, so we had a boatload of toys, records, and books to buy. I'm a big record collector (at last count I have over a thousand), and two of my most cherished possessions are the first Sesame album, which I...

Anything with Kermit from the early days was fantastic, but his demonstration with the What Happens Next Machine was the tops to me. Usually it took another monster to mess up Kermit's lecture. This time he was done in by his own invention! His machine demonstrates (or was supposed to) what...

The long and short of it Way back in the distant land of the 70's, David and Maria appeared in a skit pretending they were in a restaurant. They both order spaghetti, and Maria polishes hers off in a very short time, thanks to speeding up the film. David eats his spaghetti while shot in slow...

Brain picking time! Okay, you experts. There was also one (can you tell me which letter?) Guy Smiley appears at the end and pretends to do a commercial for dog food. (Bow Wow Chow) and sees if the dog will eat it. But it's true, I felt so bad for Mr. Chatterly. With all the interruptions going...

Sharla was once invited in to Bert and Ernie's apartment and they demonstrated heavy and light. She got to pick up a feather which landed on Ernie's nose, and a brick, which Ernie pretended landed on his hand, faking pain "OWWWW!!! OOOCH!!!" Later on he confessed he was pretending. Hee hee. :p :(

Yes, her name was Joey. Unusual for a girl's name but there you are. She also got to be in a clip with Snuffy. There they recited the alphabet too. She would say the first letter and Snuffy would repeat it, all the way from A to Z, while Joey sat in a chair and had her arms wrapped around his...

One other way Sesame was unique were those moments when Kermit (and later other Muppets) would spend time just talking with the kids, and the cameras would just roll, and allow the kids to be themselves. Way back in Season 1, Kermit and a girl named Stacy spent some quiet moments together...
