Snuffy (Martin P. Robinson) introduces his sister, Alice (Judy Sladky), to his best friend, Big Bird (Caroll Spinney), on another episode of the best kids show ever, Sesame Street! From Season 19, Ep 2410 originally aired on January 29, 1988. Mucho thanks and hugs to Ingeborg Nordén aka @Just Looking! for another treasure.
PERSONAL NOTE: A gentle reminder that I am not a video machine. I am a mother (with an adult autistic son), a wife/carer (hubby's battled throat cancer for nearly 10 years now), daughter (to a Mum I haven't seen in months), and just another human being trying to cope with a worldwide pandemic and all that entails. In other words, please chill with the requests and DEMANDS some folks are throwing at me. I can shut down the comment section in a flash. I'd rather not, but I will if it all becomes too overwhelming for me. I'm a giver. I want to answer every single request with the best and brightest version of the ep/sketch you've ever seen! But, I can't. Please enjoy what I *am* able to share. We haven't seen most of this stuff in decades. Just have fun with what is available. I will be uploading more for as long as I can, no worries. Cheers.
ONE MORE NOTE: This recently aired you-know-where. Some cuts were made to the original version and, to avoid confusion, are not listed below. What you read is what you get.
The main storyline sees Alice confusing everyone for Big Bird until she finally gets together with the real one.
REPEAT MUPPETS: Ernie's Poem: Ernie (Jim Henson) keeps Bert (Frank Oz) awake trying to write a poem about what he likes, but he's having trouble finding a word to rhyme with "dirt" (Spoiler: It's Bert and it's adorable); Grover (Frank Oz) asks Maya to help him follow an arrow, but it keeps changing direction until he collapses, exhausted; Professor Grover (School); The Two-Headed Monster (Jerry Nelson and Richard Hunt) reads a newspaper; Oscar (Caroll Spinney) reads a love "trash poem" to Maria (Sonia Manzano); Gordon (Roscoe Orman) reads "Numberella"; Beginning, Middle, End.
NEW CARTOON: Three stripes form a jazz trio.
REPEAT CARTOONS/ANIMATION: Ten Turtles (Artist: Bud Luckey); Pinball #10 (Artist: Jeff Hale); Speech Balloon: L - Light; L for Lake (man jumps into a poster of Lake Lillian); Spanish w/a man packing for a trip and demonstrating the word "cerrado"; Letter O in Spanish (opera, oeste, orquidea, ojos, ocho, y el orquestra de orangutanes); Sand O/o; Pieces of fruit arrange themselves into groups; What's missing? (a baby); Draw a line from the dog to the bowl and underline the hen; A tour of a TV studio setting up for a taping with an R2-D2-like robot (Artist: Irra Verbitsky); Photographs show ALL, MOST, SOME, and NONE of an apple.
REPEAT FILMS: How they make birdseed bells at a sunflower seed factory; George the Farmer shows beginning and end (created by NFB filmmaker Gerald Potterton); Joe Raposo sings "Hippopotamus Round"; Letter O hoist and a little girl puts on her coat all by herself (both Joe Raposo music); Doctor's visit to a clinic in an Alaskan village.
