Old Number & Letter Cartoons on DVD somewhere?

[dbbarney]

The Letter cartoons:

"We all live in a capital I, in the middle of the desert in the center of the sky..."

"...The lower case N is not lonely anymore, they are standing on a hill..."

All the number cartoons:

"Ladybug Picnic (12)", Alligator King & his sons(7?), etc

The painter (numbers), the baker "12 strawberry banana shakes!" Whoa, whoa--as he drops it all.

Are these available anywhere? I haven't seen them in 30 years or more and don't know if they are ever broadcast anymore.

Can anyone help? Thx

The "Martian Beauty" cartoon can be seen in "123 Count With Me".

It can also be in the 1986 short:Learning About Numbers.

Alligator King#7 is available on two DVD's:
Elmo's Sing-a-long Guessing Game
The Great Numbers Game

Ladybugs' Picnic#12 is now available on Sing Yourself Silly, as well as Ten Tiny Turtles On the Telephone#10.

Both Capital I (or I In the Sky) and Lower-case N can be seen on The Alphabet Jungle Game.

One of the Pinball animations-the number '12' can be seen on The Great Numbers Game, and the remix version is used on the Special Edition What's the Name Of That Song DVD.

All of the painter films, baker films, and the jazzy spies series are NOT available on any of the Sesame DVD's. They never created "12 strawberry banana shakes" during Henson's Baker series. They only did 1-10.

Actually, Falling Down Baker #10 is on "Elmo's World The Street that We Live On"

And actually, Capital I and Lower-case n are not on "Alphabet Jungle Game" - My daughter has seen this DVD three times a day for the past week, and it's definitely not on there.

Yeah, but what letter segments were on this "Alphabet Jungle Game" DVD?

Those lists make me wish I could afford a DVD drive for this computer. If someone manages to record the jazzy spies and/or painter series, I'd love to have those in my collection. (Right now I have one common Sesame Street clip that my computer can play...I envy you guys sometimes. *drools*)

The "Baker" skits, on the other hand, have frightened me for years. Numerals rushing at me and making weird noises in the beginning, then the Baker falling down at the end...those scared the living daylights out of me when I was in kindergarten. If I ever get a DVD drive, at least I'll know which tracks to skip on those Sesame Street disks.

There's one you forgot from "Learning About Numbers." At the end, there's a sketch with The Count counting honks, probably from the early-mid 80s.
