I swear old school Sesame Street is genuinely more funny than 90% of adult comedies.

I wonder how much of this was ad-libbed... pretty hilarious stuff, even at the beginning with Susan laughing at her having no clue what Gordon buys in-universe from the... fish market of all places.

Hmm...in regards to Scene 5, I thought Oscar would have appreciated Grover dropping him like that...

Wow, they were really into repurposing old puppets as cousins at this point.

Yeah, it was kind of hard to tell because of some of the angles in those screencaps, but I do believe that's the old Cookie Monster puppet with the shapeless head being used as Apple Monster.

But yeah. Green Grover was used as Grover's Mommy at one point.

All of the lost episodes have guides based on the scripts.

Thanks for the information. That's awesome! I do hope Sesame Workshop can eventually recover all those episodes.:wisdom::smile::super::insatiable::batty::stick_out_tongue::frown::laugh::search:
