A, adventure, art, above and below, air, alive and not alive, alphabet, animals.
B, beginning middle and end, between, big and little, bus stop.
C, city and country, clues, cleaning, cooperation, computers.

E, electricity, empty and full, enter and exit, exercise.
F, family, feelings, first and last, front and back, forwards and backwards, following arrows, fast and slow.
G, games, gardening, getting dressed, getting sick, geography.
H, hope, help, hot and cold, houses, here and there.
I, immagination, important, in and out, inventions.
J, jobs, joining people, junk and recycling junk
K
L, light and heavy, listening, long and short, love.
M, math, me and you, more and less, music, measuring, mistakes, manufacturing things, maps.
N, near and far, next to and away from, none some and all, nutrition.
O, one way, on in and under, open and closed, opposites.
P, parts of the body, patterns, planning, problem solving, pollution.
Q, question asking, quiet and loud.
R, reading, resting, remembering, rhyming.
S, school, seasons, sharing, street crossing, stop and go, surprise, spanish, shapes.

I guess kissing was a regular topic on SS. Only they used the Spanish word, Beso.

And xylophone would kind of go under the music category.

Thanx for trying to fill out the empty spaces.

What about X marking the spot? A lot of Sesame songs and sketches (like Harvey Kneeslapper's prank: "This spot...and here's the X that marks it!") Not to mention Kermit and Harry getting X-rayed..

Under K, I'd suggest Kindness (displayed by Muppets, cartoons and real folks alike!), Kings (all those fairy tales), Knees (remember the body-part sketches?) and the ubiquitous Kermit news flashes.

You're right. Those were important topics they usually talked about. Especially Mr. Hooper's death, Miles's adoption, Luis's and Maria's wedding, Gabby's birth, Hurricane wrecking Big Bird's home, two monsters not wanting to play with a different colored monster but then later accepting the monster, and Telly overcoming his fears and playing again after his broken arm incident. Good call, Bear!

I believe knees would go under the parts of the body category, as well as Kermit and Herry x-raying each other talking about inside body parts. But kindness is a good topic and there had been lots of skits and stories about kings.
