feedback for "The Babble List: The 50 Best Sesame Street Moments"

1. Great list, but my favorite moment is Bert ice skating. (To help him fall asleep, Ernie tells Bert to think of something he likes doing, and then you see his dream: Bert skating around on the ice to pretty music.)

2. I still get the Special D song stuck in my head sometimes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0lCmXLy7JI

3. There was a skit that involved all these sort of slinky like characters, and then this teeny tiny slinky comes on and lifts his hoof or whatever, and shoots a cannonball out of it and blows everyone else away! Does anyone else know what I'm talking about??!!

4. Two more come instantly to mind, the Alligator King, which I think had something to do with the number 7 and the animation that showed a girl walking to the store for her mother to get "A container of milk, a loaf of bread and a tick of butter".

5. Thank you thank you thank you! I've spent the last hour singing, laughing, and crying along with some of the best television bits of all time. I've passed this along to many of my friends of a certain age who all still know all the words to "Ladybug's Picnic."

6. Ampers, I remember the skit, though it MAY have been the Muppet Show?
   
   My mom wouldn't let me watch Mr. Hooper won't be coming back. Well, she might have let me, but she sure discouraged it. Didn't David die after he worked in Hooper's store too? That may be a bad place to work...
   
   Meanwhile, I was really pissed that Mr. Snuffleupagus (sp?) turned out to be real, and whenever I talk to friends about it, they seem to agree. Maybe it's a generational thing.
   
   And of course, almost any Bert & Ernie sketch shown in #33 makes my list.

8. Great list ... if I had to add one, it would be the skit where the monster with the long arms that we fixed over his head and the short monster used cooperation to get fruit out of a tree.

9. I love "I don't want to live on the Moon". That was one of my son's favorites when he was a toddler.
   
   I also love the reggae "Do the Rubber Duck" song, and basically anything involving Ernie and Bert.

10. Wonderful collection; thanks. Brought back lots of memories.
    
    One I would have liked to see (and even a list of 100 couldn't have gotten them all): Ray Charles and Kermit singing It's Not Easy Being Green. Just stunning. See http://youtube.com/watch?v=NZJxL3PrrLM Maybe a bit more an "adult" moment, and of course I remember the song sung by Kermit from when I was little.
    
    Also, there is a great cover of I Don't Want To Live On The Moon by Ann Percival on The Sweetest Hours (check out http://coverlaydown.blogspot.com/2008/02/covered-in-kidfolk-part-3-moral-tales.html for a listen)

11. I remember almost all of these! One of my personal favorites is Me and My Llama which no one else seems to remember (except my sister and YouTube, apparently). It was not a puppet sketch, it was just one of those little live action things they liked to show.

12. It's amazing how remembering just a few of these floods them all back to mind. What about the Milk song?

13. Mah Nah Mah Nah anyone? And no Twiddlebugs? How about Happy, Furry Monsters? Ah, 50 just isn't enough I guess.

14. I am so excited to see this collection. As a lover of all things Sesame Street, I can hardly wait to see your top 50 picks! :)
    
    Many thanks.

15. Thanks for that stroll down memory lane! My personal favorite was always the cartoon typewriter. He'd roll in, hum "num ne num" then type something on himself "tick tick" then roll back off. Does that ring any bells? I think he was in every episode in the 70s.

16. Those were some great moments, but the absolute greatest moment of all time was when Stevie Wonder sang "superstition" on Sesame Street. This was back when Sesame Street was funky and cool and seriously, seriously groovy:

17. The one with the slinky characters is definitely the Muppet Show, not Sesame Street. Season 1, I think.
