Not many people realize this so I thought I'd throw it out there for those of you who crave the classic skits. Play With Me Sesame (on Noggin) features many of the classic skits on the show. Some of them go as far back as before Jim Henson's death. I can't tell the exact dates from watching them and I don't know if there are many from the 70s, but there are atleast some great ones from the 80s.
Today there was the old Two-Headed Monster bit where they demonstrate different emotions. There was the random purple monster singing the "Comb" song that someone mentioned recently in another thread. There were also two great Bert & Ernie sketches. The first one was Ernie having an imaginary tea party and Telly comes over to join. The other was Ernie being sad because he doesn't think he is special, and then Bert convinces him how unique and special he is. That later one looked particularly old because of the way the characters looked. It was when Ernie had more of a grin.
Anyway, just thought I would remind you guys. It seems that the classic clips they aren't using on Sesame Street anymore that many of us want to see more of are being used on Play With Me. Better than nothing though, right.

The only thing I wish they wouldn't do on this show is, when they show an old clip, sometimes they make it so it is a "picture inside a picture", with Grover or another character narrating or pointing things out. But, like you said, some is better than none!
