    And, as for the "sometimes" food, Mr. C. Monster clarified for Stephen Colbert ...

    Colbert: "You have abandoned the pro-cookie agenda!"

    Funny, funny segment.

    Guy Smiley is the greatest game show host ever. This cannot be argued.

    Yes. Highlights magazine. I loved that when I was kid. Whenever the new one arrives my kid makes quick work of it, especially the hidden objects pages.

    By the way, Highlights has to be doing something right. Thing's got no advertising and it's been humming along in print forever.

    Without a doubt one of the greatest skits in Sesame Street history:

    Much superior to their later Springsteen attempt --
    "In a barn in the USA" -



    and from the Muppet Show, not SesameStreet:
    Kermit doing Dancing in the Dark -

    'Course the Beatles gave them material that required no parody. Just play it straight--Octopus's Garden




    Seem to recall they also did one in the early days as well on "Help", again just playing the song and lyrics straight like the Beatles wrote and sang them.

    Haven't seen the show in eons--probably since my childhood days, since my kids were never into SS, but looked up and saw that Bob McGrath is still there. Amazing to think that he's been a part of the formative years of 3 generations now. (One of three, btw, that were on the original show and are still around today).
