[zns]

I just looked at that "Subway" video this morning and it is one of the best ones thta I've seen on that website. Can't wait to see what else they'll add.

Monster in The Mirror ( any)
More Monsterpiece Theater, specifically "39 Stairs" and "One Flew Over Coocoo's Nest"
More E&B (what I'm thinkin of are "The Cake","Drums", etc)
More Grover the Waiter ( The Count and Hot Dogs, etc)
More Super Grover/Grover/Marshall Grover

The one thing I really loved from the show was the closing credits song Magic Carpet Ride played as a nighttime theme. It sounded very soothing and almost like a song to help people fall asleep.

Now how was it possible to obtain those skits, if the home VCR's recording feature wasn't introduced untill the early to mid 1980's? Surely they didn't air 1970's Sesame Street episodes during the 1980's much, since obviously they wanted to move on with newer episodes.

BillKal said: "Cool...today they have the "Subway" song on there!!! Haven't seen that in years."

Is that an 80s skit, Billkal? I'm just wondering.

Yeah. I watched the "Subway" skit just now. I'm trying to think whether or not I saw it when I was little. I don't recall seeing Betty Lou on the show too often. Her voice sounded different than I'd expected. I also don't recall seeing Bert and Kermit together, so I wonder about that. The song sounds real familar. Maybe I just heard it on MC Radio.

They play it on MC Radio but the record version and the TV version are slightly different. The record version's music is a little different and uses some of the same samples as "Bus Stop", whereas the TV Version is a little more upbeat and kind of goes with the fast ride of a subway. And different characters sing different parts on both versions. And Kermit isnt on the record version, its Jim doing his standard gruff/nasaly voice like he does for Guy Smiley or alot of early Sesame AM's
