yes, i hope elmo rots in hell. elmo has corrupted todays youth.
Oh, the fix-it shop. what warmth that brings the soul.

the whole snuffy thing irritated me, big bird knowing him, but nobody else, snuffy would always make an early exit. i saw a few episodes with my daughter when she was younger and it seems like the whole group caught onto to snuffy and are believers now.
oh, to be a kid again.

* the baker falling down the stairs was pretty cool too.
* the rolling ball machine that grinds it into powder. i remember trying to construct such a machine from things lying around the house. even planned on having the ball go into the blender where i would make it into powder.

*ernie answering the kitchen faucet. I guess bert and ernie are gone now, right?
* the telephone alien creatures. "cow. yep yep yep yep yep yep yep yep." -what were those guys called?
* the magical pencil salesman.
i always dreamed of a mr. rogers/sesame street connection, like fred goes for a walk and ends up on sesame street, connecting my lad-hood worlds.

I remember that season with all the "near misses" where the stupid adults ALMOST saw Snuffy. "It's okay Big Bird, lots of people have imaginary friends."

I would get so mad. HE'S NOT IMAGINARY, Bob!!

I was so excited when they finally got to meet Snuffy. A monumental day on Sesame Street.

Surpassed in importance only by when Mr. Hooper died:

Big Bird: [made a picture for Mr. Hooper.] I can't wait 'til he sees it.
Maria: Big Bird, we told you. Mr. Hooper died.
Big Bird: Oh yeah. I remember... Well, I'll just give it to him when he comes back.
Susan: Big Bird, Mr. Hooper's not coming back.
Big Bird: Why not?!?!
Susan: Big Bird, when people die, they don't come back.
Big Bird: Ever??
Susan: No. Never.

I know I'm a little odd, but that scene still gives me goosebumps.

By the way, Brian, you'll be relieved to hear today's kids still have Bert and Ernie and even the "yep yep uh huh" Martians still make occasional appearances.

For me it's far and away the two aliens that come down.

When they hear a phone ring...they cover their face with their bottom lip. And then imitate the ring..."Brrr,,,rrrrinng!" Same with the radio and television.

"RAY-DEE-OH,,,,YEP YEP YEP YEP YEP....UN HUH UN HUH UN HUH"

Not sure I have one now. When I was four years old however, it was big bird. There are countless pictures of me wearing my big bird shirt under a pair of overalls toting around my trusty Winchester lever action.

That season permanently wounded my psyche, because my family used to use the joke on me because I could not say the word Snuffleupagas. They would say to me, "well he must not be real if you can't say his name." They were cruel people.

BTW Gonzo and Dr. Teeth are my favorite Muppets, and who does not love Fozzy? I am not sure if they were on Sesame Street though.
