Remember Simon on Captain Kangaroo? ("Oh you know my name is Simon/and the things I draw come true...") I can't find that on YouTube. Also loved "The Brown Hornet" on Fat Albert...

I bought the box set. :roll: Did anyone else love this show as much as me?? Little IBD is laughing her bootie off (and me also)

My daughter sure did. I was always very careful to limit how much t.v. she watched. However, when I was pregnant with my son we had a 2 hour commute home in the afternoons. She would sit in front of the sofa. I would have her hold my hand and I would pass out for about 45 minutes.

The Muppets will always have a special place in my heart and hers.

Both, sort of. Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will ):

All of the non-flesh-and-blood characters (Big Bird, Oscar, Elmo, Burt & Ernie, etc.) were Jim Henson creations. They were muppets in the sense that they were marienettes (sp?) and puppets. But they did not appear on the Muppet Show. Big Bird had a cameo in The Muppet Movie, but I think he was the only one.

Contrary-wise, I think that Kermit was the only Muppet who appeared on Sesame Street. He was a reporter.

If I may cross over from Summer Reading list, I just read a fun book just before I was down there: Before You Leap: A Frog's Eye View of Life's Greatest Lessons by Kermit the Frog. (I guess that it would technically be non-fiction, since it's a memoir/self-help book?! As Hop says, I'm a walking contradiction!)
