That he was!

So the word TELEPHONE did not appear on top of the booth, is that what you're saying? If so, I forgot about that.

Several SS segments showed more than one teaching of common subjects of their standards. Parentheses indicate those subjects taught. Here are at least four that I remember: Film - A boy counts four ice cream cones, then calls out "Help!" (counting to four and the word "help") Muppet - Grover...

It was the day of the death of Mr. Hooper actor Will Lee at age 74. :sigh: Some news sources said it was cancer, and others said a heart attack. Was the latter contributed by the former? His final Sesame Street segment was taped the day before Thanksgiving 1982, where he and the rest of the...

I've just made a new thread with the reinvention list with their real names along with the "invention names" by Dr. Price.

Here is a list of the things that Dr. Nobel Price had invented, much to his dismay being informed by Kermit that his inventions already exists. For any "invention names" I can't remember or if I left out any, your help would be greatly appreciated! Microphone - Talky Stick (reported by Warren...

Maybe this thread ought to be named "Injured Arm plots" since most of these plots have sprained more than broken arms. I remember when Mr. Hooper slipped on the oil slick c.1978. I remember just before, they put both a DANGER and a PELIGRO sign, the latter for an unseen neighbor who could only...

That's affirmative.

Name your favorite counting segments (1-10 or 1-20 in particular). You can also include backwards counting segments.

What were you're favorite SS alphabet segments? Mine were, jazzy (with men shouting out the letters), street signs, funky alien (two alien-like AM's played by Jim and Frank), Rube Goldberg, and the Fireworks.

He's also called Luis "Fix-It Face", and Willie the hot dog man "Santa Claus".

You also left out Lesley Mostly from the 1981 list.

Bob McGrath was acutally born in Indiana. I remember one late '70s segment with him alone on the street singing, "The Boy From Indiana".

Actually, it was the newstand at Hooper's that was the first object he touched. As he passed that pile after turning the tree into cookies he said, "Ah! Me remember that! That newstand!" Shortly after Big Bird pulled him back to reality, Susan came out down the steps with a plate load of...

You are correct about Slim Goodbody. He was not played by Richard Simmons, but John Burstein. He performed at my school in the San Francisco area, just after he started appearing on Captain Kangaroo through the sketch, "The Adventures of Slim Goodbody in Nutri City".

These sketches were only in SS's 12th season (1980-1981). Leslie Mostly, along with Deena and Pearl, were the only characters that I know of that appeared only during that one season. Can anyone recall any other "single-season" SS muppet characters?

It was during the first week of the 14th season (1982-1983), just about a week and a half before Will Lee died.

That calendar date just happened to be the day I was born! Was this the filming date for that setch? Also, who played the boss, Jeff Moss perhaps? I asked these questions before but received no answers.
