May I view the wish list you speak of?
Here's the list as it appeared about 15 years or so ago, before people had a lot of access to earlier episodes of the show:

1. 'Fred, get me a 20' - a man (Joe Raposo) gets sent on a mission to find a 20, finds the numbers 11 through 19 along the way, and runs into a gorilla (and the 20) at the end.

2. The five other clips featuring the gymnast with blonde hair - 'around,' 'beginning/end,' 'close to/away from,' 'over/under,' and 'slow.'

3. 'Beginning/end' - five stop-motion clips (mother making sandwich, kids waiting in line, man eating hot dog, man painting picture, and barber giving haircut).

4. Scuba diver - one clip where he finds five shells underwater, counts them on the shore, and is surprised by a crab, and one where kids say 'Boo!' and he swims 'away from' them.

5. Post office song - hip song about mail delivery where one of the lines goes '...to the post office where it will stay, for just one day...'

However, what about the following clips as well?

1. Animated 'tree on man's head' - Scottish bagpipe music plays in background

2. 'Danger' (live-action) man reads newspaper as he walks along, barely avoiding dangerous things, then runs into something (revolving door?) at the end.

3. David and Maria (live-action) are supposed to meet each other in a park but can't find each other. 'Over' and 'under' are demonstrated and synthesizer-like music is played in the background.

4. Chewing gum factory - kids (live-action) tour a chewing gum factory with flute-like music playing in the background. 'Don't swallow it!' is one of the last lines said (it being the gum!)

5. Figure skater - one clip where she skates forward, then backward, and one where she (same person?) skates to the tune of 'Don't you know you're beautiful?' (both live-action)

6. Circles on film - a circle 'wraps' itself around several live-action objects, an 'OK' sign being one of them.

7. Horses and heavy loads (live) - horses try to pull heavier and heavier loads until they can't do it anymore - Raposo music.
