    "Smell a smell, sniff a sniff..."

    I remember that one! Sounds like he's saying "bweff".

    A loaf of bread...

    The "Loaf of Bread..." sketch looks to me very much like the opening animation (and segment bumpers) of the 70's PBS series "Vegetable Soup".

    Who remembers these?

    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...

    Favorite Cookie Monster Moments

    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!)

    The Baker Falling Down the Stairs Series

    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...

    Another Jazzy Spies Question

    (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...

    The closing themes of Sesame Street

    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...

    Sesame music I've heard elsewhere

    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".

    Jazzy Spies #9

    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...

    Sesame Street Bloopers/Technical Difficulties

    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...

    Sketches wanted--looking for traders

    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...

    What happened in this skit?

    Kinda reminds me of that Electric Company "Without an S" sketch--where Rita Moreno leans upon the "S" wreath on the easel, knocking it over.

    Request for chronology of character debuts

    Mumford and the Count both debuted in 1972. (Both have the same basic shape and color.)

    Alligator King

    I'm pretty certain it was Joe Raposo.

    This is confusing me

    Right. The Romans--who originated our calendar--did not have a symbol for zero.

    Skits with dogs dressed up as people

    I also saw William Wegman's dog models (as humans) in a commercial for Dodge Caravan.

    This thread is brought to you by the letter U!

    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

    Sesame Street Letter/Number Guide: Season 2

    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...

    Sesame Street Letter/Number Guide: Season 2

    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) DNKGC (#1090 had...
