Those b/w clips from Vila Sesamo are a trip! It's cool seeing classic clips I've never seen before, like the Cookie Monster with the talking pincer. I wonder why some of these weren't shown (or rarely shown) back in the day in English? I was a kid in the 70's who hardly ever missed the show and I definitely don't remember that clip....or quite a few of the other ones (ie. Ernie cutting the onion, etc.) that were originally in English. I've noticed that's quite common with a lot of the recycled early clips.

At the risk of posting something vulgar...

Here's something from Owe Gustafson you won't see them import from Sweden to Sesame Street


Ugh...

Another Owe Gustafson skit that didn't make it to the US.

Either it's the fact Generic Tarzan gets hit in the head with a coconut, or the monkeys start to sing Hooked on a Feeling.

Apparently, that "Loaf of bread, container of milk, stick of butter" remake was made way more in advance than its season 43 debut.
