Odd. I found myself thinking about Jonathan Winters today. Then, when I got home, I learned of his death when I went to Tough Pigs: http://www.toughpigs.com/jonathan-winters/ RIP Jonathan Winters.

I like Rowlf and Zoot performing “Love Story,” mainly because of how teary-eyed Rowlf gets.

I’d want to do a number with Beauregard. We would dance around the stage, dusting, sweeping, and mopping—all the while singing “Whistle While You Work.” Since I can’t whistle, Beau would have to do that part of the song.

What did Bert say when he wanted to order oatmeal? “Please, porridge, hot!”

Crazy Harry is one of my favorite Muppets! Here's a video of that song:

Here’s one that I wish I could find in English: This is Part Two of a two-part sketch. In Part One, Bert holds up a number 4 and asks Ernie if he knows what it is. Ernie says that it’s a chocolate pie. Bert decides to cut to a film about the number 4 so Ernie can get a clue. I think the...

My prayers are with her and all her family. :sympathy:

This wasn’t a dream about a Muppet, but it did relate to Sesame Street. I dreamed that I was interviewing Paul Benedict and that he was saying how much he enjoyed being the painter of all those numbers!

A wacky sketch I like is where Ernie persuades a reluctant Bert to play “Guess What I Am.” First Ernie pretends to be a dog (even licking Bert’s face!), then waddles and and quacks like a duck. Then it’s Bert’s turn, and he chuffs around the room going, “Chugga chugga, chugga chugga...whoo...

I just found it!

I, too, would love a music box that plays “Leave Me Some Magic.” I also love wind-up toys, and I wish there were a Beauregard that mops the floor when you wind him!

This is one of my favorites....

I remember those segments, too. Bert imagining himself ice skating was one of my favorite memories. Ernie actually helped Bert fall asleep instead of keeping him awake.

I remember a sketch from many years ago, starring Grover and Kermit. As I recall, though, Kermit wasn’t seen at all; I only heard his voice. He said something like this: “And now Grover is going to show us ‘near’ and ‘far’ on his ice skates!” Grover skated close to the camera (or was he...

Here’s an oldie that I hope will soon be posted in English: Actually, this is only Part Two of this sketch. In Part One, Bert holds a number 4 and asks Ernie if he knows what it is. Ernie says it’s a chocolate pie. Bert decides to show a film about the number 4 so Ernie can get a clue...

Yes, I’ve seen that list, SesameMike. Thanks for posting it. Telling everyone there’s a blizzard coming doesn’t sound like something Oscar did to keep from being bothered, though. It sounds more like he was just playing that trick on Gordon and Bob and Maria and Mr. Hooper so he could have a...

More classic episodes from the 7o’s? I have just the thing:

That sounds right. As I recall, Big Bird was washing one thing by itself. I never understood how the soapsuds got from the laundry room to the inside of Oscar’s can, though.

I seem to recall a sketch where Oscar was in his can, with the lid closed, and was saying he had just taken a “grease shower.” Then soapsuds started to bubble out of his can as he exclaimed, “Hey, what’s this? Soapsuds? Clean soapsuds? Help! Help, I’m gettin’ clean!” That one always made me...

I’m going with Beauregard all the way! He’s sweet. He’s sincere. He’s funny. And he rocks on the harmonica!
