That wasn't as sad as Jim Henson's funeral.

Big Bird came out and sang "Its Not Easy Being Green". After he was done he said "I'll miss you Kermit", hung his head and walked off stage.................

Couldn't find any video of it, but don't want to watch it anyways............

I used to be terrified of this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Music and would run into the other room whenever he was on. :oops:

I love the fact that Sesame Street went noir. How freaking great is that?

& that would be Guy Smiley?? hehe, when i saw the misfits back in 98 one of the opening bands were named 'guy smiley' a quick google search reveals that they were on epitaph records! <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.epitaph.com/artists/artist/33">http://www.epitaph.com/artists/artist/33</a><!-- m -->

but he's awesome, sings two songs, taps his foot & strums his guitar 8)

What a great thread!

That was a classic Bert & Ernie, and I'd love to see that one again.

In the meanwhile, here's my favourite Bert & Ernie skit from when I was growing up.

Edit: Ironic I'm posting this clip at 3:14am :roll:

Here's 'The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson'.
Fozzie is in charge of organizing a tribute to Jim Henson, but none of the muppets know who he is at first. They learn about his life only to find out he has died. The whole show is cool but if you just want to skip to when they find out he has died, jump to around 40:35 of the clip. It's pretty moving...

He got collared by the Stan man (isn't there a Ben Folds song about that)... He should'a ran... :rambo:

"Not Mars... Nope... Earth... Yep, yep, yep, yep..."

Ever read James Thurber's "The Wonderful O?"

And it's good to see the golden an -- I love that skit.

Greatest Sesame Street song:
