    "I'm Pretty" lyrics

    Of course on the show, it was sung by Northern Calloway (David).

    What clips are on these Shalom Sesame videos?

    Oh yes, and Oscar stars on Rechov Sumsum, the street set itself. He points out that matzoh (sp?) bread is flat, just like his singing.

    A unique idea for a Sesame Street parody band!

    That's a parody of "Ticket to Ride", right? I like it, that's gooooood! :)

    Favorite Cookie Monster Moments

    Some of his jewelry around his neck, some speakers, microphone, whatever was handy. I have a fondness for the skit where a woman in a clothing shop (Fran) thought Cookie Monster was a furry blue coat, put him on and walked away. It was an interesting skit because - he was not the victor in...

    T is for toes

    This is really a sought after clip. Good luck in finding it. It really must have been popular.

    The most obscure Sesame skits...

    Ah, yes. That was Kermit's "What Happens Next" Machine. The whole idea was to turn on Kermit's radio, but fate had other plans for him.

    Did the Two-Headed Monster ever have names?

    I've heard tell that they were referred to as "Frank" and "Stein". On the show itself, I've really only known them to be called "The Two-Headed Monster". I know that Guy Smiley introduced the two-headed monster from Sesame Street.

    Skits with dogs dressed up as people

    Those dogs are William Wegman's.

    Captain Vegetable!

    I like this idea. It seems like fun to dress in a superhero cape and bunny rabbit ears. I'd be interested to know if anyone will "get it", before being explained that it was a Sesame Street character.

    Help needed with AVI file Barrio Sesamo

    I tried, the clips were .rar files. Anyone know how to open one of those?

    Cookie Monster's "Letter of the Day"

    Frank played Cookie Monster in some of the Letter of the Day sketches, David Rudman played others. Similarly, Grover was by Frank as the delivery monster, while other times, say as Su-(wait for it!)-per Grover, that was Eric Jacobson.

    Cookie Monster's "Letter of the Day"

    These are my favorites: C: Cookie finds the Amazing Mumford and tries to get him to make the cookie disappear. After an unsuccessful attempt, Cookie says, "Nice sound effect, but cookie still here." And when Mumford feels he's a failure for not being able to make it disappear, Cookie says...

    Up Up and Away...

    I don't know if it was from that movie, but I searched for info on the song, evidentally Ella Fitzgerald once sang it. It's quite a sad song. Just the same, I don't think I'll ever hear anyone sing it without my cracking up. :)

    The Frazzletones

    I also noticed that this Frazzletone had a voice similar to Little Chrissy. Hmmmm....

    Were these forgotten sketches on Sesame Street Unpaved?

    Was the R Machine even done as a video sketch?

    Sesame Street censorship

    The Unpaved episodes have 5 minutes edited out of them, not because of censorship, but because Noggin had each show divided into two parts with time in between for interstitials, Deja Noggin clips, etc. It was the same with Electric Company, and I presume Square One TV. If editors were...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    I still find this a little creepy, a fun kind of creepy, though. Kermit is counting "happy little Twiddlebugs" that appear behind the wall. The one that's made from the tall narrow orange Anything Muppet is the one that's kinda weird. Also, it's not particularly "little". :)

    Who played Cookie in "Fuzzy & Blue"?

    Kevin was also doing Great Space Coaster in '81.

    Maurice Monster

    I know Maurice was also identified by name when Grover was using a queue of monsters to show "first" and "last". Each time Grover was first in line, the monsters would turn round, then Grover would run to the other side to be first, etc. etc. I guess the writers and performers felt that...

    Who played Cookie in "Fuzzy & Blue"?

    Indeed, there are always other puppeteers for cases like this. If they needed someone to fill in an extra role, like Cookie Monster in "Fuzzy & Blue", they could have used Richard Hunt, Marty Robinson, Fran Brill, maybe even Jim Henson himself. Brian Muehl was also in the cast around the late...
