The CTW Archive documents for "First Season Show Content" list a number of letter segments with "crossover" in the title (for example, "Crossover H"). Many of them note that Gordon and Bob appear, but does anybody know what these segments are?

Hmmm. The only letter segments I can think of that usually had two cast members in them, were the ones where they tried to build a giant version of the letter together (like a 3-D puzzle with only a few parts). If those are the right ones, I still wonder why CTW labeled them "Crossover" though!

One of those sketches you mention appears in Old School Volume 2, though I forget which episode. But that one obviously isn't from the first season. Then again, who's to say that the crossover segments were only from the first season?

There were some other made later on with Luis David and Bob making a Q and an U and there was more of of that in the late 70's.

I think I've figured out the segments. Mupet Wiki's page for epsidoe 83 includes a segment where Bob and Mr. Hooper build an A, and the first season shwo content mentions a "Crossover A" with Bob and Mr. Hooper being in that epsiode. And the page for epsidoe 162 mentions a similar skit with Bob and Gordon putting an H together, and the files mention a "Crossover H" segment with Bob and Gordon (obviously, the "firs tseason shwo content" doens't list any second season epsidoes that it appears in, but we can put two and two together). Oddly enough, there was another H segment liek this, in one of the Old School Volume 2 epsidoes. I wodner if that counts as part of the "crossover" series, and if it does, it's weird that another H sketchw as done (unless it was considered a remake, done so that it could be in future epsiodes without having to include Matt Robinson).
