Bear arrives on Disney+ The beloved series has been off the air for the past 15 years. Now all four seasons are finally available for a whole new generation.
Sam and Friends Book Read our review of the long-awaited book, "Sam and Friends - The Story of Jim Henson's First Television Show" by Muppet Historian Craig Shemin.
Here's two more:
A little girl (preschool age, IIRC) sits down at a concert grand piano on a stage. She starts playing. While she's playing, she matures into an adult woman.
A rather lengthy film showing the process of bottling milk; a high voice (Blossom Dearie?) sings "Milk, mi-ilk...
Remember this one, from the 70's?
Cookie Monster, while blindfolded, is waiting for a baker to arrive with cookies. He feels something large and round, and takes a bite into it. POP! Sssssss! A little girl muppet says that he just bit into her inner tube. (Yuch! You bake rubbery cookie!)
Absolutely! I have that one on tape. It's (unofficially) called "Cast of Charactors" (sic)
1: deflated
2: yanked into ground
3: falls backwards into water
4: slides when ground is tilted
5: popped with pin
6: grabbed away with hook
7: shatters
8: carried away by eagle
9...
(silent opening) Indy-style race car with 3 on hood driven toward camera
(after racecars) "3" drawn in center square of psych background; changed to lavender "3" on white background. Three-headed monster bursts through. Center head opens mouth to reveal 3 gold teeth. Teeth then form a...
There's one closing that you've forgotten!
Circa 1974-78, the Friday closing (with cast and production credits) featured a view from the driver's seat of a car being driven down a country road.
And on #1095, in which the funding credits music was played longer: That was because of an...
There is a piece of "Sesame Street" music I remember being used elsewhere:
During the first season of "3-2-1 Contact", one one episode (the one about the hurricane), Lisa and Trini (I'm pretty sure it was those two) were disco-dancing to the instrumental opening of "Disco Frog".
Here's how it goes:
(silent opening) A short man (with a slightly noticeable 9 on his shirt) jumps off a high dive platform. He lands on a seesaw, catapulting a red 9 toward the screen.
(fingers/race cars)
Red 9 is "drawn" on chartreuse background. Background is raised like a window...
I remember *two* bloopers from the same film series:
The classic films, accompanied by kazoo and banjo music, in which neon letters are being raised to the roof of a building. (The three installations of this series are "H", "O", and "R".)
On one of them, a bus appears to be doing 80 or...
Worth noting:
(1) Due to the fact that my VCR is quite busy on weekdays, the weekend is just about the only time I have left for trading. (At least for a little while.)
(2) On a side note: I'm now a published author. My first novel, "Yeltaw", is currently available online...
More "U" memories:
"Without U, Units would be...nits!"/"Whoever heard of an I.O.?"/"Anybody wanna buy a used U?"
Boy buys a lowercase U from a store (numerous letters on the shelves), then gets a "p" to go with it--as he holds the word "up", he starts rising!
U-uniform
Quick Lesson in Mathematics
For episodes 276 to 1055, the number featured can be determined as follows:
(step 1) Subtract 16 from the episode number, then divide by 130. This is the season number (starting with zero).
(step 2) To find the season-opening episode number, multiply the...
I guess maybe that by 1977-78, the "pattern" may have been broken somewhat.
#1090: B P 7
#1092: D N 3
#1093: K N 4
#1094: G K 5
#1095: C G 6
Logic tells me that #1091 should have been "D" with either "P" or "B". Plus, the numbering is getting out of order. Where did the "7" in #1090...
I noticed that pattern too--for the years 1971-74.
For the 71-72 season, the progression was:
MBSGNZKFHVOJIREWDACLPUTXQY
For the 72-73 and 73-74 seasons:
DWEGRKMOSQUCYBAFHJLNPITVXZ
For part of the 77-78 season (verified for eps. 1092-95--the Hawaii episodes)
