I had been looking for this sketch for a long time -- please tell me this isn't a "semi-lost" one.

I found this video:


Something is funky with it. That doesn't sound like Jim Henson's voice. The impression I get is this was only found "out in the wild" in a foreign dubbed international version, and someone did a new voice-over to put it back into English -- it's done very well and I say thank you sincerely, but it's clearly not the original
soundtrack.

I am certainly glad to be able to see it, but I'm surprised I've only found it in redubbed form. This is a Season 2 sketch but it was repeated on the show for many years.

My guy, did you not see the words “fan dub” in that title? :confused:

I sure did -- I am just hoping this isn't the "only version" of this sketch available. I also found one in B&W possibly from a kinescope, but with the same soundtrack.

Well at this point your only best bet is to hope for the best, because that and its forgeign dub where the video source came from are the only available copies right now.

I wonder if that user got these from the Myspleen downloads.
