I loved the Octopus's Garden skit. Jim was the swimmer, Frank was the Octopus, who was acting a lot like Fozzie. And I believe Jerry was the small clam.

The Christmas Reindeer skit was cool too. I recognized Jim and Frank's voices in that one.

And I liked how Mahna Mahna had an funny speaking role in Stringed Quartet and how Jerry voiced the leader of the quartet. I believe Richard and Frank were the other two guys as well.

And Business Business was cool and it kind of shows the truth in life. Sometimes, people start up something wonderful and nice to make everyone happy. But then later on when it becomes successful, things change and it starts becoming business to them.

I prefer the Sam and Friends visual thinking sketch, but in this version its nice that Kermit, having learnt in the S&F sketch is now teaching...

I think my favorite is the "Change of Face" sketch, "Computer Dinner" and "Christmas Reindeer" (no S I fear!)

It's great looking back on early puppets and personalities and hereing the various voices used for different characters such as Fozzie as a Reindeer.

It's also worth noting how Ed Sullivan introduces these as "for the children", maybe not entirely true...

-Monster Trash Can Dance (I love the explosions Jim used)
