[The Count]

Uh, what is this clip about?

 

[Oscarfan]

Kermit's trying to persuade the viewers to support the PBS station and reads a list of how much things cost for the shows they produce. As he names them, Cookie Monster pops up and eats the equipment.

 

[The Count]

Ah... Okay, thank you.

 

[Ilikemuppets]

It always used to creep me out whenever monsters would eat random objects like that... They would never be able to pull it off today.

 

[Drtooth]

It's very similar to the old monster eating the computer sketch, isn't it? I wouldn't be surprised if Jim himself wrote that bit.

This was a 1978 (not 80's as it says there) GENERIC video short
for 'all' the PBS stations to run - NOT just for that TV station

..and it ran during THIS!

 

[CensoredAlso]

Lol, dig Kermit's crazy threads!

How though? That special was on CBS.

That Wiki page has a typo of 'CBS' - which should be 'PBS'...
