Billy Joel Jive

[MartyMuppets]

Anyone recall the series of cartoons about the dark skinned kids Billy Joel Jive and Sweet Susie Sunset who ran their own detective agency?

How many episodes can you list for me please?

It was Billy Joe Jive actually, but Billy Joel was on Sesame Street too! (singing the alphabet! and telling Oscar he likes him just the way he is!)

Fair enough but they were probably thinking of Billy Joel when the came up with the animated character's name is a light gag.
So any word on a list of the cartoons please anybody?

Just to seem fair I'll mention a few I do remember sort of.
Investigating a house alleged to be haunted
Teaching a little kid about landmarks so he doesn't get lost
Giving a great big fat kid advice on how to lose weight so he can join the swimming team at school

Billy Joe Jive was one of my favorite things on Sesame Street as a kid. I remember him and sweet Suzie Sunset. These sketches were originally from the 70's, but were played well into the 80's. I think the last time they ever aired one was in the early 90's when the show really started to take on a new twist. I was lucky enough a few years ago to see a few of these on Noggin when they were airing Sesame Street Unpaved. I hope someday they bring these back, or at least show one of them on the current show. It couldn't hurt.

I remember seeing this clips quite a bit! They were awesome! (And I was kidding around with you about the Billy Joel thing, Bill Bubble Guy. Sorry, couldn't resist. )
Unfortunately, I don't remember too much of it but here's some links that might bring back some memories.
