If there's one thing I like about Family Guy, it's its retro references! That made me laugh because I remember seeing that years ago! It was also funny when they made other Sesame Street stuff..Big Bird spitting on Meg after her bird call..Bert & Ernie in bed together..how about Cookie Monster..sneaking eating cookies..then in a bathroom stall with a lighter under cookie dough. Ah..Family Guy...you gotta love it!

Her wand usually malfunctioned, though. - The animated sketch that involved a boy trying to remember a shopping list that consisted of a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter by saying it over and over while he walked to the store. - The band "The Beetles," who were beetle muppets, and their song "Letter B," a parody of "Let It Be," for those who don't know. - The sketch that showed how sugar was made with the song "Beet beet sugar beet beet sugar beet beeeeet." - The animated sketch that showed a rock band of squares singing "It's Hip to be Square." - The animated sketch that showed a mouse squeezing between two elephants while he giggled and said "Between." The elephants screamed and ran away, while the mouse giggled again. - The montage of elephants being bathed at the Bronx Zoo to the song "Splish Splash, I was Taking a Bath." - The animated sketch that showed a couple of kids breathing on a firehouse window and writing the words hat, hose, and hook. At the end, iirc, the kids said "It's a hathosehook!" Anyone else remember these?

A few things I do remember are: Ernie had insomnia and couldn't sleep. He'd try counting sheep and after a while it showed him supposedly a few hours later. They made his eyes look droopy with big black bags under them. OMG that scared the crap out of my sister and I when we were younger because he just looked SO CREEPY!! The song called Daddy Dear (I always thought it was called Daddy D like they were saying the letter D but recent searches have proven me wrong and it's called Daddy Dear.) I want to find that on mp3 so I can hear it. I would be SOOOOO grateful to anyone who could find it for me. I've searched and searched and can only find the typed lyrics. No actual lyrics to listen to. My Dad and I were so close when I was little (we still are) and that song always made me think of him when it came on. Here are the lyrics to it: D, d, d, d Daddy dear, oh daddy dear Do dogs have dreams, do ducks have ears? Do dragons dance, why do gophers dig holes? Do gophers dress up in their dirty clothes? D, d, d, d Dogs dream of meat and their dreams are delicious Ducks do have ears but they don't do the dishes Gophers dig holes to hide their candy bars Dragons don't dance and they don't smoke cigars D, d, d, d Daddy dear, oh daddy sweet Do dandylions roar, do daisies have feet? May I have a drink of water and a dish of tadpoles? Daddy how deep is a doughnut hole? D, d, d, d If dandylions roar then your daddy is deaf The daisies drank the water so the tadpoles left Your eyes are droopy darling daughter and you're dizzy in the head The toads are eating dinner so it's time to go to bed. Little dolly go to bed. I remember a segment where they teach about fire and calling for help. This kid is walking along and sees smoke coming out of someone's house. I can't remember how it all goes but it's something like: Walking along with nothing to do when suddenly you see some smoke coming through a door (doo doo doo doo), there's more. What would you do if it happened to you? Tell your mother or your father or tell anyone who can call (doo doo doo doo) to the firehall. Then it shows them coming and putting out the fire and at the end it sings A fireman's job isn't very much fun. When the fire bell rings they gotta get up and run .........(I can't remember the rest). I had forgotten how no one ever saw Snuffy in the early episodes of sesame street and I was so happy when they finally did see him for the first time and believed Big Bird that he wasn't make believe. I remember Mr. Hooper and how Big Bird would always get mixed up and call him Mr. Looper. Then Mr. Hooper would correct him and say "Hooper! Hooper!" then Big Bird would say "oh sorry Mr. Hooper Hooper." lol. There's so much I remember it would take forever to type it all up. I have Christmas Eve on Sesame Street and it's an awesome show. It's from 1977 so it's all the original cast and everyone looks so YOUNG! I'll check back to see if anyone can come up with an mp3 of Daddy Dear. I really would love to hear it play after all these years. ~Karen OMG...i remember that song. i used to love it as a kid, but being boy i couldn't admit it in front of the bruthas!

I remember that Elmo was a monosabyllic, one word, character with a silly catch phrase. I remember when Luis and Maria got married and the day that Gabriella was born. I remember when Susan and Gordon adopted Miles. I remember when everyone on Sesame Street finally got to see that Mr Snufflupagus wasn't just Big Bird's imaginary friend. That's about all I can remember. Oh I remember this little poem Beep; Beep. Beep; Beep. There a many things that begin with I that get to be quite tricky. Like "intersection" and "illegal," "irritate" and "icky." There are many things that begin with I that get "instant" and "into" Like "impossible" Land's "incredible" too. The letter I is quite a quip. I think I'll take him on my trip. Into the car and we'll do a flip. Into the car and away we zip. I'm in love with the letter I cause he's so "irresistible." Beep; beep. Beep; beep.

mr3urious 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 3359	I also remember the animated sketch which had an announcer saying "Are you the monster that ate the television?" to various monsters, until the last monster shown had something large and square-shaped in his belly.

MrMatt 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 52	Animal stock footage. A skit where Ernie is collecting rocks and he sees one. Tries to pull it off, then gets a hammer, hits and it was part of a monster (using on of the Cookie Monster-like muppets.) An animated skit about a guy building a dog house and at the end he tripped over it. What's my part? With Guy Smiley. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 with the disco like music and spinning squares that looke like a disco floor. Specia guest star: C3-PO and R2-D2. Yes it happened. They did appear on SS. Oscar the grouch meets Osmar the grouch and they literally go to space. A ballet dancing woman with monsters such as Harry, Cookie, Frazzle, Grover, just to name a few. (She was hot.) A gymnast on a field going forwards and backwards. And a father and daughter exercising on mats. Sesame Street was good in the early and mid 80's. I lost the love of it in the late 80's beginning with a skit that shown Ernie removing Bert's nose. From then on I avoided it, and at the same time grew out of it because it was begging to get wackier and wackier. Today it is a whole lot worse. And I still avoid it.

Mad-Mike 8 years 11 months ago Posts: 539	Aw man, now this brings back some memories.............For some reason I remember lots of obscure/freaky stuff.... -Teeny Little Super Guy - the little man drawn on a cup who danced around to that snazzy jazzy tune before teaching one of lifes lessons with the help of other pieces of kitchenware. - The "Hypnotic 10" sketch with the creepy Scanimate technology, just a set of white lines on a black background, one being a pair of lips....eek. - That skit with the singing/dancing Alligator and Sparky the dog. - That four eyed skit with bert and earnie and the Beautiful Day Monster (the blue monster I currently have as my avater for reference). - That live action video where they are making a sign with a crane spelling something out on it, which for some reason makes me think of doughnuts for some odd reason due to the plinky piano music in the background. -The skit where they forge an I-Beam for the letter "I". -The Yip Yip Aliens yip'n about the staticy old radio. - Monsterpiece Theater with a classy version of Cookie Monster (Alistair Cookie), particularly 1 flew over the cuckoo's nest, and the other similar skit with Vincint Twice. - Before Elmo stole everyone's spotlight, instead it was Big Bird that was all the rage. - And the crazy Bells and Horns music on the ending CTW plain text credits over the blue background. I was partially scared yet oddly interested in that tune as a young'un. - Seeing that weird analog synth laiden PBS logo of the early 80's/late 70's.
