Now this was done when I was a bit older, I was watching it with my younger cousin who at the time was a big SS fan. CM goes to a library and each time after he asks for a certain book he wants a box of cookies with it, and the he gets more and more impatient. After three times, he says 'Just...

Did SS ever do a skit called 'Octopus Garden? I know it was on the Muppet Magic DVD from Ed Sulivan, it was mentioned somewhere SS did a version of it. That was SO funny by the way, I watch it over and over.The wise cracking Octopus (Frank Oz) steals the show, so to speak.

He is lecturing about 'short and tall, and has two creepy little furry black monster muppets with retractable head that go up and down, confusing the heck out of Kermit. It's one of two skits they did, they other is 'big and tall' with the two Beautiful Day Monsters. The first was funny and less...

In the beginning, we see the first muppet skit on Ed Sullivan in 1966, with the instant monster rock n' roll band. What was the name of song and who were the real musicians playing it?

I'm sure we can come up with a bunch here: When he always got mad at grover 'Will you get out of here!!!!' He would just wave his arms and explode! Very funny!! Or this one after some of his skits: 'YEEESSSH!!

I can't recall any names. I know that the original one sadly passed away a few years back from Parkinsons disease, and I am very familiar with the Gordon who was bald with a mustache. But weren't there a few others in between?

Amazing the what the slightest move of a hand can do. Henson was a master at this, giving everyone the unforgettable faces of emotion by Kermit. That one at the end of the B skit with Cookie Monster, when CM kisses him. Always found it funny how his face would scruch up, saying "YEEESSH!!!'...

I've seen a brief version on an old 'Sam and Friends' clip and one on the Muppets Magic'tape,with a more 'hip' sixties garb wearing Kermit. How many more of these skits did they shoot. It was classic stuff! Sort of what I imagine is a precursor to some of the ideas for SS.

Need help with with old Sesame episodes I'm looking for some old SS Episodes. ones with preferably these skits on them: The Kermit skit w/ the glasses of milk (forget what it's called) A few of the letter skits (anyone, don't care) I'd say these are circa '69 to maybe '71. I usually don't...

I'm looking for some old SS Episodes. ones with preferably these skits on them: The Kermit skit w/ the glasses of milk (forget what it's called) A few of the letter skits (anyone, don't care) I'd say these are circa '69 to maybe '71. I usually don't do this, but here is where I can be...

I don't know if there was a precursor to him before SS, but if you ask me who I liked more out of the Ernie & Bert duo I'd say I'm a Bert fan all they way! His early look had his head more triangular and his tuft of hair was always messy. When he got mad, his mouth would scrunch up, very...

I always liked this show when it was played on HBO. I would watch it as many times as they played it. It was funny and very well produced. I always enjoyed other muppet shows like this because it was a change of pace.

I'm not dreaming am I? They actually did a skit of the famous Ringo Starr written Beatles tune "Yellow Submarine" right?I forgot how this went,the skit I mean, I LOVE the song!!!

This has been touched on briefly in other threads, but I want to give it it's own forum. I don't know about any of you, but the monsters from when SS first aired were not by any means 'cute' OR 'lovable'. They seemed very dark and intimidating. Now I say this becasue as a kid, I was very...

The usual brick wall setting, and he has two glasses of milk? May have been about 'full and empty',but not sure. How did this go from start to finish?

The little girl with poni tails? (her image pops up at times when you visit the site) Yellow hair, maybe a polka dot skirt, been in a hundred skits! Never knew what they called her.

Scared the heck out of me as a kid! He was on a SS sketch with Kermit towards the end. How about you guys?

I was browsing throught the Jim Henson Book at Borders a few years back and came across a picture that had an early version of CM before he was a regular on SS. He was in an old IBM commercial eating a machine of some sorts. He was pretty scary looking, as he had sharpteeth and looked to be a...

It seems like only yesterday when he was the main character of the Street', now Elmo is the newest craze!! UGH! :grouchy: I guess when Jim Henson passed away, the character really lost it's lustre. Sure the new person (whatever his name is) does an okay job at his voice, but still it's...

I know Rowlf the dog was almost a regular on Jimmy Dean, who else was on his show?
