Well I remember bits and pieces of it. It aired in May of 1990 just a few days after Jim Henson's death. It had a lot of the Joe Raposa songs in it. C is for Cookie was in the special. It also showed that song takes a lot of little nuts to make a jar of Peanut Butter with kids in a kitchen and had big Chef's hats on. I think they aired that sketch like that on the show a couple times, I guess to make the song look more modern, but I think they ended up going back to the old one after that. I also remember Joe Raposa himself in this special singing somebody come and play.
