    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    There were some SS cartoons that really scared me when I was little. I always ended up running out of the room whenever these started. The Lion chasing the Leopard. I used to have nightmares that this lion would jump out of the TV and eat me. The Yakity, Yakity, Yak where this yak would...

    Favorite Sesame Street Books

    I remember liking the Sesame Street ABC Storybook where it featured stories like Bert and the Beanstalk where Bert took a bunch of bottlecaps from a giant. The Terrible Tickler whose a western bad guy who goes around tickling innocent people! And Guy Smiley hosting name that G word. I also...

    Classic "Forwards/Backwards" sketch

    I thought that was a classic too. The Muppets that ran over that poor kid looked like some of Little Jerry and the Monotones and Grover. I also remember they sometimes showed a Spanished dubbed version of it.

    Fix-it to Mail-it?

    I remember a Mail It Shop episode where Maria's copy machine broke down and she had to call a service company to get it fixed. Has Maria forgotten her fixing skills already?!

    The Animal Show

    Thanks Klonoa and your welcome. :) I too wonder if we'll ever see Joe again too. I've also seen some of those Animal Show made animals appear on Muppets Tonight and on Sesame Street. Happy Armadilly day to you too! :) Xerus

    Jim Martin

    One puppeteer I think is really talented is Jim Martin. He worked alongside Kevin Clash in the old Captain Kangaroo show. And in the Great Space Coaster, he did the funny Gary Gnu, the unique Baffle, and the villanous M.T. Promisses who had kind of a terrifying voice, but was still good...

    The Muppets head for Oz

    I've heard that another difference about the Oz book and the movie is when the four of them went to see the Wizard, they only got to see him one at a time. And when they each saw the Wizard, he took on a different form. When Dorothy saw him, he was a huge scary head like in the movie. When...

    Matt Vogel

    And I have noticed that Big Bird and Oscar are now doing skits together. Matt must be doing one character while Caroll does the other.

    Met Ruth Buzzi today

    I think Ruth Buzzi is a talented actress. I loved her in everything she's done. It's a shame she's not on Sesame Street anymore. She was like the one grown-up on there who did zany things. Like getting Gordon to do a duck dance in order to sell him a hat. I miss Ruth on there.

    The Final Jim Henson skits

    I remember Guy Smiley's final performance. A barber was going to cut this guy's hair. Until Guy burst through the wall in a white tuxedo and started singing a song about air while a marching band came in as well. And everytime the barber said a word that rhymed with air, Guy would bust...

    Kermit, the Milk, and the Monsters

    Does anyone remember this really old and scary SS sketch? I remember seeing it back in kindergarten. It showed Kermit with some glasses of milk giving some kind of lecture about it, until Cookie Monster showed up and drank the milk. Kermit started to get annoyed, until all these scary...

    What Muppets scared you as a child?

    There were quite a few Muppets that scared me when I was a kid. There was the Beautiful Day Monster who always did scary negative things sometimes. There was one where a girl was twiddling a stick around a wooden fence. But it turned out to be a huge grass monster with teeth. But the...

    The Animal Show

    Yes, I think the Animal Show is a very neat and creative series from the Henson company. It was fun watching the openning and wondering what kind of animals would be featured. But I kind of got dissapointed when they started bringing back animals they already interviewed. Like another Wart...
