just about any episode from the 1st 5 years of SS is the best. not only seeing clips that haven't been seen in a long time. but seeing how it the set was like, the street was streight instead of curving when passing the apartment, while i kind of knew there were originally 4 regulars, i didn't know about Raffael, Molly, or Tom. i did learn about Gordon being playewd by someone else not long before Noggin airing the reruns though didn't know that there were 2 prior to Orman taking over.

Favorite Unpaved ep: #666 from 1974 because of the Old charachters on the street all at once. Ernie Bert Herry Count what have been good if they had Sam the Robot in that episode. He could have been in the La de da dum sing along, that would have worked wouldn't it of?

Favorite Non Unpaved ep episode #2107 Bernie the repair man fixes Oscar's Piano. This has some good Rare sketches like one with Don Music trying to sing the Sesame Street theme.

By the way, did you notice that at the very end of the final scene on #2282, for some reason, the very end of the closing theme was cut off for some reason?

How about you Boober ? Your favorite episode.
Hard to choose. I really like these non-Noggin episodes:

#2107, in which Oscar gets jealous that Bernie the piano tuner (a human) is getting more attention from Grungetta (this time played by Brian Meehl), so he begs Olivia to go on a date with Bernie - whom Olivia thinks is a grouch at first.
#2173, in which Luis reads "The Adventures of Captain Swashbuckle" to Big Bird. It's one of the episodes I remember seeing when it originally aired.
#2313, in which Forgetful Jones and Oscar remember things they did when they were little. There's top-notch performances by Richard Hunt, and even Kevin Clash playing the live-action role of grown-up Miles in Gordon and Susan's daydream of the future.

My favorite Unpaved? It's a tie between #796 and #1094. :smile:
