Isn't one of the puppets David? ???


Yep.  The Young Hipster Muppet is Northern Calloway.  :)

Remember this? Wheels On My Feet?  I'm actually surprised that Caroll Spinney didn't fall and hurt himself during this skit.  :)

I remember this quite fondly

When he wants to go out and have a little fun
and he doesn't want to skip and he doesn't want to run

And he doesn't want to jump and he doesn't want to stroll
And he doesn't want to rock but he does want to roll

He watches to world go whizzing by with a whoosh in his ears
and the wind in his eyes here's what he does when that's the case
he goes and gets his roller skates

Yee haw!

Going  around and around and around and around
that's how it goes with wheels on my toes
Round and around and around
that's how it feels with wheels on my feet

Sometimes he likes to skate on the sidewalk
sometimes he likes to skate at a rink
sometimes he lskates to the park
sometimes he skates to the store
for a snack and a drink
He rests on the stoop for a minute and then
it's around and around and around again
and he never wants to stop cause it feels so neat
so he zips down the street with wheels on his feet

Yeah haw!

Going round and around and around and around
That's how it goes with wheels on my toes
Round and around and around and around
that's how it goes with wheels on my feet
wheels on my feet.  :)

In the second part Bert still wants to know why Ernie has a banana in his ear and he says "Listen Bert I use this banana in my ear to keep the aligators away." Then Bert says "Aligators? Ernie there are no aligators on Seasme Street"  to which Ernie replies "Right! It's doing a good job isn't it Bert?"?  LMAO!

Harvey Kneeslapper: Toys In The Closet

Part 1: Harvey puts some toys in the closet.  A girl named Connie opens the door and the toys don't fall when she opens the door.  But after Harvey opens the door the toys come tumbling down.

Part 2: Harvey resets his toy closet booby trap.  A boy named George comes along and tries to open the door but he says that the door is stuck and it won't open.  Harvey opens the door again to the toys come tumbling down on top of him.  A baseball glove lands on his head and he throws it on the ground.

Part 3: Once again Harvey resets his closet booby trap and suddenly George and Connie come and open the door.  But instead of a closet Connie and George come out of a doorway.  But when Harvey opens the door for the third time the toys fall on him again and he picks up a plastic telephone receiver and he throws it on the ground. 

Sheesh! You would think that Harvey would know enough not to open the door of his closet after the last couple of times that his joke backfired on him.  LMAO!

Do you all remember how Big Bird always used to get Mr. Hooper's name wrong? Usually he'd call him Mr. Looper, but I remember that on more than one occasion Big Bird actually called him Mr. Pooper, and when you're 5 years old that's the funniest thing in the world. (As a matter-of-fact I'm 42 years old and I still think it's funny.) And you can't tell me that the folks at the Children's Television Workshop were completely oblivious to this.  :D

By today's standards this would be considered to be sexist and just downright offensive.  :(


I bet Big Bird, in his mind was thinking, "What's a breast"?

Do you all remember how Big Bird always used to get Mr. Hooper's name wrong? Usually he'd call him Mr. Looper, but I remember that on more than one occasion Big Bird actually called him Mr. Pooper, and when you're 5 years old that's the funniest thing in the world. (As a matter-of-fact I'm 42 years old and I still think it's funny.) And you can't tell me that the folks at the Children's Television Workshop were completely oblivious to this.  :D

I remember those days when Big Bird always said his name wrong.  ;D

I remember once watching a host on there that was song, but I was really taken by her hair because it went down to her knees---was that Buffy Sainte Marie?


Yes it is. :)

We all live in a capital I
in the middle of the dessert
in the centre of the sky
and all day long
we polish on the I
we keep it clean and shiny
so it brightens up the sky

Rubbing it here and scrubbing it there
polishing the I so high in the air

As we work we sing a lively tune
it is great to be so happy on a
busy afternoon
and when we're through with
the day's only chore
we go into the I and we
close the door

Capital I

Some of the words that begin with I
they get to be quite tricky
like intersection, and illegal,
irritate and icky

Many words that begin with I
are longer than itchy and into
There's impossible and incredible
and important too

The letter I is quite a trick
I think I'll take him on my trip
we'll have some fun and do a flip
into my car away we'll zip

I'm glad to be with the letter I
cause he's so irresistible.

I thought this was funny that an orange could sing opera. ;D

and speaking of opera, here is Placido Flamingo.

I highly recommend muppetcentral.com's forums for a more in-depth look at what other people remembered. That said, Sesame Street up through the 1990s would often air decades-old material. Popular topics about early Sesame Street is that celebrity guests would usually show up without a Muppet present, the same letters/numbers would be sponsored for the entire week, the counting would only range from 1 to 10, and that many old sketches were simply based on older shows such as Dick Van Dyke. Don't forget the bizarre shape of some Muppets early on, such as Big Bird more resembling Bullwinkle and Orange Oscar the Grouch. Of course Old Skool Sesame Street itself, while out of print, consists of three DVDs, each one consisting of five season premiere episodes. Also, while it seems like based on the episode count much more was produced, and that is true with regards to the street scenes, in reality much of the content was recycled over and over again.

I don't think they were singing about having a drink of water and the water out of the tadpole bowl.  ;D

I go up and you go down
I go in a straight line and you go round and round
I go over and under and you go through
Tell me why do you always do the opposite of what I do?

I go left and you go right
I travel in the daytime and you prefer late at night.
Well I go away from and you go to
Tell me why do you always do the opposite of what I do?

Well, when I come in honey you go out
You're sure of yourself and I am filled with doubt
When I want more you give me less
When I say no you say yes, yes, yes, yes.

Honey you hang loose and I'm uptight
you know I'm heavy and you are light
When you say "false" how can I say "true?"?

Now my daddy takes the hatchet, it's too sharp for me, that takes the bark off of that round of tree.  1, 2, 3, 4, we don't need any more to make a stool for me.  And now we're going to make three holes to put the legs in the seat of the stool for me.

What Do You Remember About Old Skool Sesame Street?

That is was EXCELLENT and I would love finding some on VHS recorded from analogue cable TV!! (So I can enjoy it like I did then)

Sesame street went to crap in 1992!!

I definitely agree that Sesame Street went to crap after the 1990's and early 2000's came along. The old school characters that used to be on the show, not many are there any longer but were replaced with newer ones that kids could relate to and now they've went from Channel 13 to now a 30 minute episode on HBO Kids.

Also, most of the original cast have retired or have died.  Dr. Loretta Long is the only one of the original cast members who hasn't been forced into retirement.
In recent years they retired Sonia Manzano, and then a few years ago they forcibly retired Roscoe Orman, Emilio Delgado, and Bob McGraff and had planned to replace them with new characters that kids could relate to.  Then there was a public backlash at Sesame Workshop's plans and then the denial that the characters were being forcibly retired.

So why couldn't the old school cast members just make small appearances?

Maybe they cant stand what a piece of crap its become...

See me
eating a peach
sitting on my eagle
chasing a beagle
to the queen on her knee
under a tree by the sea
she was looking for her easter egg

Having a dream about eating
ice cream in the land of steam

When a baby seal tickled her heel
she let out a squeal
woke from her dream in time to see
the eagle and me
flying away with the easter egg
over the evening sea
Hee Hee Hee!

In an unknown far off place
there was a lowercase n
Lonely and cold
she would stare off into space
and it was known that she
would cry now and then

Lowercase n
standing on a hill
the wind is very still
for the lowercase n

Then one day a rocket ship
came racing from the sky
It landed on the hill
and it opened up a door
then something started
coming outside

A lowercase n (she's not lonely any more)
they are standing on the hill (there are two that stand for sure)
The wind is very still
for the lowercase n

The Sneezing Snerd.

Don't be a Snerd when you sneeze
and go around spreading disease.

Only a worm would share his germs
with everyone else in the room

So, put a lid on your mouth when you cough
and nix your nostrils when you
Ahh
When you
Ahh, ch!

And cover your face when you have a cold
or somebody else will.

Mr. Tweek tried to sleep
but the man above
would snore.

Mr. Tweek tapped on the ceiling
"HEY, YOU ABOVE! DON'T SNORE!
I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"


Mr. Tweek tried to sleep
and the man below him
would sneeze!
Ah, ah, AH-CHOO!

So Mr. Tweek tapped on the floor
"HEY, YOU BELOW! IF YOU PLEASE,
DON'T SNEEZE!"

And then when everything was quiet above
and quiet below it started all over again?


Ah, ah, AH-CHOO!
