There may have been a thread about this already, but after looking through the forums, I haven't found one....Anyway, what are your favorite Monsterpiece Theater segments? Mine is probably "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Having seen it as a child, I thought it funny to see a number one flying over a cuckoo's nest, since I knew (even though I had never heard of the actual novel yet) that's not really what it was about!

I'm interested to hear your input :smile:

My favorite one is The 39 Stairs. I like it because there is a Cameo of Grover at the very end. (In the newer version anyways) Also the one with Cyranose Deburshereck was pretty good too.

Uh, Grover starred in that one, so I'd hardly call it a cameo.

Anyway, my favorites are Chariots of Fur, the Sound of Music, The Taming of The Shoe, and Gone With the Wind.

The ones with Grover are the best, specifically "Sound of Music," "39 Stairs," "Chariots of Fur." I also liked "Gone With the Wind" and "Ali Baba and the 40 Theives," even though they never actually showed the film there.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Guys And Dolls, that was hilarious

I'm gonna have to say that "The Sound of Music" and "The king and I" are my top favorites. It's all Grover at his best.

Although Cookie Monster hosted these segments, it was grover who usually starred in them. he was in Upstairs, Downstairs, The Sound of Music, Chariots of Fur, The Taming of The Shoe, The 39 Stairs, The Old Mna And The C, The King And I, and I think Waiting For Elmo.

It would have to be Gone With the Wind, followed by One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
