And here's a compilation of most Waiter Grover sketches at Charlie's Restaurant (and some other restaurants):

The only ones not included are:

Bacon and Eggs (I can sort of understand why not that one, they probably don't wanna promote bacon, since bacon is said to be very unhealthy.)
Grover, the Singing and Dancing Waiter (I can't understand why they didn't include this, since it's been included on a few DVDs. Maybe just because it has singing in it, I don't know.)
Pavlov's Waiter (Maybe they didn't like the sound of the manager Andre crashing through the doors, and how aggressive he was to Mr. Johnson.)
Much Ado About Nothing (I can understand this, since it was already included in the Monsterpiece Theater compilation they did about a month ago.)
Al Fresco (I have no idea why they didn't include this one.)
Tomato Surprise (Another one I don't understand why they didn't include it.)

They also didn't include any of the ones made after Season 30, not that there were very many anyway.

I really don’t think there’s a need to over-analyze every single segment that was left out. The title says “the best of.” So it’s a case not everything would have been included.

This is the final time I'm gonna make a post on this website.

Here's the original ending to the ABC broadcast of Elmo's Christmas Countdown, a primetime Sesame special:

It definitely very nice and nostalgic for me to get to see these wonderful inserts of Lexine and Cookie Monster interacting with each other from Season 25 again.

I agree. Whenever a video compilation is labeled "The Best of..." it typically means the highest-rated or most popular of all the segments in this case. Licensed recording acts also release "Best of" albums and again they focus on mostly the biggest or most popular hits.

Interesting to note, the sketch with "O'Brien's Fast Food" - which is one of only a handful of original late-1980s segments I have developed an interest in, in the last week - is included in the "Best of Waiter Grover" compilation.

Also, regarding the last post with clips of Lexine, did Lexine have Down's Syndrome?

Take a look at this!

When I first saw this, I thought "probably just a compilation of well-known songs from Season 1." Well, there are some that are well known, but there's some rare ones too, including a song with Rufus the dog. It would have been nicer if they included the original season 1 version of "Rubber Duckie" and I would have liked to see "I've Got Two," but I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. Many of these clips had never surfaced before. Some of them weren't even songs. Like there was a street scene from episode 90. And I'm not sure where that version of "Right In the Middle of My Face" comes from. It looks like it's from Season 1, but it's not the same version that was in episode 65.

I did recently get to watch these two nice and wonderful inserts of Ingrid interacting with Bert and Count von Count, respectively. Both of these inserts did originally air on Sesame Street during Season 4, and it was really enjoyable to see them again.
