From 1976, the third and most well known version. This is a better copy with no subtitles, complete with Kermit's introduction.
"A loaf of bread, a container of milk and a stick of butter". From 1972, the classic animated segment about memory, which has done a pretty good job of sticking in the memories of a generation of Sesame Street viewers. Produced by Jim Simon's Wantu Studios, the same company that made equally distinctive animation for The Electric Company and Vegetable Soup.
Uploaded by request. From 1991, the beginning of the end.
Some of Big Bird and Snuffy's comments are quite amusing. Look, this new character actually makes *us* look smart by comparison!
For my 300th post on this channel, here's the classic skit from 1975 where Grover demonstrates the difference between near and far. This is one of those segments that people always seem to remember clearly, regardless of how many years ago they last saw it.
The classic Joe Raposo song from 1973. "I love pigeons, and I love how they walk. And I've created a really COOL dance." Bert (Frank Oz) gets down with his bad self, and shows us some groovin' dance steps...who knew Bert even had legs? This is the full version, including the introduction where Bert shows his home movies of pigeons in Asbury Park.
From 1972. Sesame Street had lots of cute segments with the Muppets interacting with real life kids, but this is one of my favorites. Kermit the Frog tries to sing the alphabet song with a girl named Joey, but she keeps teasing him by singing "Cookie Monster" instead of various letters.
Uploaded by request. The debut of groovy DJ Mel Mounds (Morgan Freeman), introducing a song by the first lineup of the Short Circus: Julie (June Angela), Iris (Irene Cara), Kathy (Melanie Henderson), Zachary (Douglas Grant) and Buddy (Stephen Gustafson). Even in the fad-driven world of the 1970s this dance never really caught on, but Carmela (Rita Moreno) seems to dig it.
For my 200th post on this new channel, here's a true classic that many consider to be Joe Raposo's signature song. This version is from 1971, and features Bob (Bob McGrath), Luis (Emilio Delgado), Susan (Loretta Long) and some neighborhood kids.
