    What's your favorite letter segment?

    The D song - Definitely. :) The one with the weird pics of dandelions and daisies with faces that we've discussed before.

    Big Bird's family?

    I vaguely recall a Granny Bird muppet with a babushka on. I may be wrong.

    Muzak?

    Some of the instrumental music in Sesame street sounded a lot like muzak (elevator music). Think, for example, of the sound of "If Moon was Cookie". Was the music provided by the Muzak company, or was there a band proper to the show. In general, it might be interesting to discuss how Sesame...

    Weird Kitty Kartoon

    This is probably very obscure, but does anyone remember a cartoon in which a little girl has lost her cat and a cat appears on a truck, then among flowers (with flower eyes) and maybe in other places, before the real cat (probably) comes back? Or something like that? I think I saw this in...

    Is the D song on video?

    A couple of months ago, I asked if the D song is on any recordings and the answer seemed to be no. I mean the song that has the weird animation and goes "Daddy dear, oh, Daddy dear, do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears" and so on. Was it released on video? I've just discovered a new...

    Grover the Sellsman Thread

    Oh, I remember those all right. I thought Kermit looked hideous with those false teeth, but I recall him as being hilarious with the false ears and with the Groucho mask (Grover was selling shades there, right?) The plumber skit had them drinking the flood water with straws. I wouldn't...

    Is the D song relesaed anywhere?

    You know the song "D, d, d, d," "Daddy dear, oh Daddy dear, Do dogs have dreams do ducks have ears." and so on. Was it ever released on any album? I just listened to my old dear piece, The Frogs in the Glen. Apparently, they used an uillean bagpipe, though the frog is playing a...

    What cartoons scare us the most?

    Segments with mutations, wigs falling off peoples' heads and other "dismemberments", I think. And anything with witches & other real ferocious personalities/monsters.

    Guy Smilley Ripoff

    I remember how they used Guy Smiley's "base" for the other people. It was a little too obvious I think.

    The Counting Circus Guy

    I remember this, as well as the circus music, very well. They drew the ringmaster very lithe, bald and earless and yes, he had a big voice. Interesting thing to share: the "three falling felines" you mention flew into the air from a cannon. They entered it and one of them lit the fuse...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    Erin, the I Can't Find My Way animation is exactly the one I spoke about above, did you get it? The landmarks are weird enough (I remember that funny house with the flower-shaped chimeney emitting a cloud of smoke) but when the weird-looking guy with the yo-yo turns into them with his big...

    Beetle Bailey on Sesame Street?

    Late in my history of viewing SS, I recall getting right smack to the end of a cartoon and seeing characters from the comic Beetle Bailey. I saw almost nothing. I believe it was narrated. Am I correct that "Beetle Bailey" was on Sesame Street and what was the cartoon about?

    D! D! D! D!

    Does anyone remember the D song? I found it the other day on the Sesame Street Lyrics Archive. This was a very weird song (some apparently have found it spooky) or rather the animation that went in it. It starts basically so: D! D! D! D! Daddy dear, oh daddy dear, Do dogs have...

    Frogs in the Glen

    Does anyone remember Kermit singing a "Scottish Folk Song" where he says "I am proud to be one of the frogs in the glen" and this wee tam-wearing froggie agrees with him? A "chorus" is played on a bagpipe by a fat round frog, but it sounds more like muzak (I asked my dad why he had a...

    What sketches scared you as a kid?

    This is a good topic - I had my fill of scary Sesame Street scenes (watched it regularly from about 3 to about 7. I'm closing in on 23 now.) The pollution cartoons were not really scary, just sad, and the ones where Kermit gets teeth were also not really scary, but ugly rather (in one...

    Does anyone remember?

    Actually if I recall correctly (I must have been about six when I saw it) Grover gets freaked because the hills roll when someone else (Julie Andrews?) sings the song. The skit may actually have been called "The Sound of Music" and yes, I may have found it spooky too.
