The name "Spaceship Surprise" seems familiar to me, but I cannot remember anything more...

Oh, come on Jeffrey. You can't remember a segment with a Guy Smiley-like muppet as its captain used in four different sketches? Here are the ones I remember.
1 Planet CH where the crew is greeted by Mayor Cheedar Cheese who slides out of a chariot, lets them see the cheery cheerleader chickens and cherry trees before doing the cha-cha.
2 Planet SH where the crew is greeted by Sherriff Shrimp riding Sheba, his faithful ship who introduces a shrieking shovel before they all dance the shimmy-shake.
3 Planet TR where the crew is greeted by a Tributary Trout who shows off the triangle trees and dance the "TR"-dance.
4 Planet H where the crew meet Hopper, a hopping hare, and a few more hens before dancing the hula.
My memory's a little sketchy on the last two, and I don't recall Spaceship Surprise: The Next Generation. Please let me know what this spinoff spoof was about. Hope this helps everybody out.

Yeah! I just reached the quarter-mark until the big status shift in rank!

in the next generation, Captain looked like a bald Sonny Friendly. that's all i know.

and what did Captain's assistant look like in the original?

I love Star Trek Parodies. I also love the Pigs in space. Man, I remember those ones...."The Planet TR is very Trying..."

I love how they always worm in some sort of "consinent sound" dance. Ahh..Good times, good times...

hey, dr. tooth! a turkey!

by the way, who WAS that cartoon guy with the hat?

 

[Drtooth]

That was Kronk from my favorite Disney Movie, the Emperor's new Groove.

I remember Spaceship Surprise from when I was little! I've been waiting to see them use it since I got back into Sesame Street in Season 31, but I never
saw any Spaceship Surprise segments again! What happened to them?
