About that bizarro "beak man" cartoon--- No, he first asked "Can you help me push?", and she said "Noooo..." and after he struggles a bit more, then he asks, "Can you help me?" and she manages it by pulling the plug on the elephant, sending it inside by the power of air pressure. Then he gets...

That sounds like the one where it starts out with her talking about how "It's very hard for deer to find food in the wintertime" and it shows the snow falling and covering the forest with melancholy woodwind music playing. Then it becomes spring like you said, and "All the flowers come back!"...

All I know is there must have been a different person playing him in the late '80s than the early '90s, because between an insert from the '80s I have, and a street story from 1991, his "voice" is very different. Unless maybe sometimes he was passed around to whoever was available, like the...

Don't forget the sketch where Oscar meets with Vincent Van Grouch (Danny DeVito) to show him his Trash Art collection. I remember seeing that quite a lot in the late 80s. I think it even lasted early into the 90s. There were probably TONS of these that we're not thinking of...

I agree that 1988 is probably more accurate. I would have been five for most of that year, and I definitely remember seeing them then. Incidently, is it really true that parents were complaining about their kids imitating the Baker? It just seems strange that that would happen out of nowhere...

Are you sure Herbert Birdsfoot was a one-year wonder? Because at least one long segment of his continued to show up at least into the late 80s. I also have a vague memory of a 1989 or 90 episode that had some little character having a birthday. Recently, when I saw Athena, it seemed like...

I don't think much really changed in that one year besides the theme music (unless you count the studio moving from Manhattan to Queens). The big changes occured later in the 90s, and more slowly. Heck, I remember as late as 1997 there were still a few first-season Ernie and Bert clips in...

I think so. I have an '80s episode that has a Spanish-language cartoon teaching about "Telefonos". It's entirely in Spanish, without any English explanation. I assume it came from Plaza Sesamo. On the other hand, it could be one of those dual-produced cartoons where both an English and...

I was almost nine years old before I realized that it was "Charlie". Before that it had always sounded to me like Grover was saying "Choanie". "Hey Choanie!! Get me the number four...!" Combination of little-kid mishearing and Grover's mushmouth. I finally realized it when Fat Blue said...

I never even knew there were other Miami Mice episodes besides the Ernie one. In fact, as a kid I used to think it was stupid that there weren't. Weird! I don't know how I missed them, since I was watching at the right time to see them all (late '80s...) From what you guys are saying, there...

As long as we're getting literal, here's a scenario I've imagined: Snuffy's cave is somewhere in Central Park, right? (at least that's what I'd always assumed) Well, he's got to walk at least a few blocks to visit his feathered friend over on Sesame Street. It's impossible that nobody EVER...

Daffyfan2003: LOL, sorry about the mistaken identity. I just assumed it was you because an earlier post of yours seemed to suggest you were about to upload it. Guess I misread it (though I did put a question mark in...) BTW, someone put "Elmo Saves Christmas" on YT, which I hadn't seen in...

Watched it last night. It was definitely on the cheesy side(esepecially the second half) but I don't think it was nearly as bad as some are making it out to be. It was just kinda...whatever. Watch it once for a few laughs and and then fuggetabowtit. Unlike its counterpart, which can be...

Interesting. I read somewhere that Sesame Street was broadcast in Japan for many years undubbed and untranslated, specifically for people who were trying to learn English. I don't think they've ever joined the list of countries that have their own home-grown versions, though.

Aaah! I can't believe Gina's become a mother and I'm missing it! I never get to watch these days because I work a night shift, so by the morning I'm out cold. I was four when Gina first came on, so I grew up with the character. To think I haven't been able to drop in and visit so I can...

Camille (forget her last name), Lisa Buckley, and Judy Sladky are gone? When did they leave? :sympathy:

I only got to see the first ep she was in. (I almost never get to watch these days because I work a night shift, so I'm always sleeping in the morning) I agree that she was WAY overhyped, which is why it's surprising to me that she's been in so few shows so far. When I read that Times...

You can still sometimes see those kinds of doors used for that purpose if you wander around the city a bit. D'Snowth: When were the four times Big Bird's doors got replaced? I noticed the one in 2002 and then again just now (making them a little grungier like before), but when were the other...

Not familiar with Stella, but your description could also fit the female construction worker who starred in a game show skit called, I think, "Here Is Your Lunch". I forget if Guy Smiley was the host or not, but what she had in her lunchbox, I think, was a talking peanut butter and jelly...

I think I've posted this elsewhere here, but my parents knew Northern Calloway in the early 70s when they were all in the same acting class. (Around '73 or so.) They were casual acquaintances. My dad remembers going to his apartment one time to rehearse something and that the whole place was...
