By the way, what was the O limerick about? It wasn't the one about the crow, goat eat a bowl of bones, potatoes, soap, toad, snow, bulldozer, and rope, was it?

What year was that :frown: and :stick_out_tongue: skit from with the ABC story :stick_out_tongue: typed.

Also what were the 2 skits like that had Grover and Herbert Birdsfoot talking all about over and under, or Little Bird playing the imagination game with Herry? And where did they take place?

The "O" cartoon was probably the one you described.

The E/B sketch was from the first season.

The Little Bird sketch was done at the standard Muppet brick wall. She described the things she imagined, and one of them was a big, hairy monster--who happened to sneak up on her!

Yep, that's the one that appears before the "A, You're Adorable" segment.

I know what's on #871 because I got better copies of the last shows from 1969 that aired on Noggin (43-54-83), #871, and #1316 from SSetta

And believe it or not, I'm glad that I have all of the Unpaved episodes from Seasons 1, 3-5, 7, & 10-11.

As a Mr. Potato Head collector, I now have a whole new fondness for that cartoon. :smile:

Thanks, Mike. BTW, concerning episode #871, are there certain street scenes that should be counted in the "Insert" list? (Clips that can be reused over and over again.) (NOTE: If Gordon's clothes change in those street scenes he was in, either all or one can or can't be included as "inserts".)
