The highlights of this episode for me are Oscar's grouch camera in Scene 3 and his epically hysterical photo bomb in Scene 5! Also, the last scene is just brilliant- definitely something you'd see a lot of back then.

Where do you get all of these awesomely well done ideas, anyway? You make them look and sound so real! It's easy to imagine them as actual episodes that aired back then.

hey cjd874 you make the best outlines I have a question do you make requests?

Where do you get all of these awesomely well done ideas, anyway? You make them look and sound so real! It's easy to imagine them as actual episodes that aired back then.

Well, I own the SS Old School 1 & 2 DVD sets and have watched them multiple times, and I've downloaded some of the classic episodes from iTunes. So while I'm definitely not the next Norman Stiles or Jerry Juhl, I feel that I've got a good sense of what kind of humor was used on the Street back in the day. And the SST Episode Guide on Muppet Wiki is a good source for finding cartoons, films, and Muppet sketches, too!

hey cjd874 you make the best outlines I have a question do you make requests?

Thank you, kathy26! Unfortunately I do not take requests, but I can offer help for outlines.

 

[kathy26]
