Bear arrives on Disney+
Sam and Friends BookGuys,...guess what I saw on the Museum of Television and Radio yesterday? I saw two early Sesame Street episodes from 1973! As I saw them, they've got lots of wonderful sketches and lots of wonderful characters. Here are alot of favorites:
1) The animated opening from #536 where a cartoon woodpecker makes the "Sesame Street" sign on the tree
2) The other animated opening from #560 where a man took off his boots, makes a rocket and flies off as the "Sesame Street" sign appears
3) Sam the Robot-I finally saw him! He said "Hi, Luis!" in his cameo appearance as Luis comes out of the Fix-It-Shop. Sam sounds like Bob's, but he freaked me out.
4) Fat...cat...sat...hat (by Mahna Mahna and his shaded buddies)
5) Daddy Dear- a surreal classic letter D animation/song. There are some stuff in it that freaked me out are dandylions with a lion's head and daisies have human's heads and feet.
6) Kermit & Joey sing the ABCDEFG Cookie Monster
7) I definately LOVED the Beat the Time game show! It hosted by Guy Smiley and Cookie Monster appears in it as a contestant. During this game show, Guy wants Cookie to find three things that rhyme with "rain" until the clock reaches zero. Here's how it went: Cookie returned a cane (which an old man Muppet complained about it), a chain (which it was attached by a wild Frazzle) and a train (which he wrecked the studio)!
8) The D animation/live-action mix-it featured lots of D words were donkey, deer, dolphins, ducks, doves, dalmations, dogs, dragons, dinosaurs, doctors, dads, writing in diaries, playing drums, drawing, dentists, a man daydreaming in the dandylion fields, etc.
9) "From now on, ah'll be known as Cowboy O!"-I watched the short skit about Cowboy X. He stamped X's all over the town called "Sniddler's Gulch", so all of the citizens decided that he had to be stopped. Then the boy says, "Wait! What if we just ask Cowboy X to please stop marking up our town with X's?" Then the other citizens agreed that they can do it. Cowboy X arrives back and the boys asks him to stop and Cowboy X did stop, so rides off the town and becomes Cowboy O. The town now had O's all over the place and the citizens liked O's better than X's as the narrator says, "And the citizens of Sniddler's Gulch lived happily ever after, because they really weren't very smart!"
10) "Don't ya see, there's a bird on me."
11) Ernie draws Bert on the screen! At the end, Bert says, "How'd you do that?" and Ernie makes a nifty laugh.
12) Ernie and Bert go to the movies. Ernie makes silly noises until Bert and the Anything Muppets want him to be quiet. Then a purple man Muppet with no eyes and no hair arrives and throws Bert out of the theater.
13) Ernie brought licorice from the candy store. Ernie thinks that the pieces of licorice weren't the same length, so Ernie eats most licorice than Bert's!
14) Kermit and Grover demonstrate differences between "short" and "long"
15) I'm so glad to see the Baker number "4" sketch. It goes like this:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4
Let's sing a song of 4!
How many is 4?
(Then it shows everything of 4: four dolls, four balloons, four fish, four wenching toys, and four arms. Then at the end, the baker says "Four root beer floats!" then he fell down the stairs and spilled four root beer floats as the kids off-screen sang...)
And that's the song of 4!
16) A live film about a jackrabbit
17) A live film about a doll factory
18) A live film where a little girl and her dad make a stool
19) Everybody Sleeps-footage of many people and animals sleep until at the end, we see a man sleeping and missed the train!
20) One Of These Things
21) Bert-Doin' the Pigeon
22) A live film where the kids at the theater tell the woman on the screen where the "EXIT" is.
23) The Trading Game with host Guy Smiley and two contestants are a purple Muppet lady from Pennsylvania and Oscar!
24) the race cars/spies segment-the #2 version
I'll finish up later. Bye guys!
