| Wow, I read through all 25 pages packed with sooooo many memories! There was some I was going to mention that others already have, but let's see if I can name a few that hasn't been said yet:
Okay, the one about the sunflower with the camera studying it up close and all over. I think a solo guitar was playing throughout it with minimal back-up music. It was so pretty and simple.
The number 5 skit where Jim Henson himself was seen juggling 5 balls. The camera freezes and the kids yell, "ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE!"
The seasons song with the cartoon girl riding on a swing. "In autumn, and winter, and then it's springtime again..." Or something like that.
There was another seasons song with the Guy Smiley Muppet. He goes through all the seasons, such as spring in the rain, summer at the beach, autumn with leaves being thrown at him, and winter where he's freezing half to death. The changes in season start to go rapidly fast at the end.
The cartoon ringmaster that counted how many lions there were. One time, Dad came home from work for lunch and saw us watching this segment and the number was 9. Dad looks to the TV and belches, "NINE?!" I never forgot that to this day! 
The cartoon guy who keeps sneezing and he blows up his house with the music going, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhhhh chooooo!"
The live segment where the humans were being attacked by all these balloons falling from the sky and they started to wonder who was doing it. Clues were going around such as Gordon having string sticking out of his pocket and so on.
The live action swimming lessons where it ends with everyone dancing around in a circle with, "We all fall down!"
Bert and Ernie with the TV stuck on repeating the letter "H." That was kind of freaky.
The 'K' is for karate and the Pink Panther karate-chops a solid block to form the letter 'K' within it.
"I am the World" song. Very pretty.
Susan and Olivia going to that outdoor concert hall and Olivia gets up on stage to pretend she's performing before an audience.
Oscar getting Telly lost in another neighborhood and the lady cop gives Oscar a real hard time about it.
Maria and David (or was it Luis?) having a grouch dinner near Oscar's trash can and he causes their table to get rained on.
Big Bird visiting Mr. Snuffy's cave and finding all those marks on the ground to some treasure.
Big Bird on a busy NY street talking about how sneezing can be so spontaneous, and then without warning, sneezes at the camera!
Big Bird teaching David how to rollerskate and he does a horrible job, laughing and falling repeatedly. He then imagines himself skating around what appears to be Central Park. Very 70's.
Big Bird and Bob playing the 'repeat' game until Bob wanted to stop but Big Bird continued to repeat everything he said. Eventually, Bob was on the brink of insanity.
Kermit talking to two kids and the younger kid pulls at Kermit's collar. I laughed to it, but felt so bad for Kermit. I thought the collar got ruined, but I'm not sure.
Construction workers hoisting up a big, red letter 'R' up the side of a building. Funky music plays as this happens.
"Somebody Come And Play" with the hippos, sung by Luis I think. I like the version sung by the kids and Bob.
Live-action of kids picking up trash and they move around a park in fast-forward motion. One girl picks up a piece of paper, keeps going, "Blech!" and throws it away.
V for Volcano and other words. It was a weird one.
There's more, but I'll think of them later! |
