man, seriously, this was the only part of sesame street i liked, you know, all those little videos inbetween the boring live action parts? the obvious choice is the pinball countdown with the fucking amazing anaimation/music, but there were lots of other goodies...im trying to find more online but its kinda tough, is there like an archive of these or a dvd or anything yet? ive said it before, but i always wanted noggin to make a show that was JUST these...id sit and watch it for hours probably.anyway, heres some good ones i found so far:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMDkVV8xU08&search=sesame%20streeti dont really remember this one much but the music is great!!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_InFRdJGHFk&search=sesame%20street%20cartoonthis music is kinda cool too...reminds me of some acoustic ultimate spinach shit or somethingALSOme and my sister were trying to remember desperately what it was called, and i figured it out eventually, but who remembers...teeny little super guy!this was probably the most memorable of the animated parts of the show...http://www.youtube.com/results?search=teeny+little+super+guy&search_type=search_videos&search=Searchits funny, basically if you watched the show anywhere from the early70s till the early 90s, you can reminisce about the same cartoons since they kept on running them for years....

    Nice! I don really know the first two but Tiny Super Guy! Hell Yeah! I'm a big fan for the second video for obvious reasons. I was probably super stoked on that one as a kid. Thanks!

    Ako, we gotta find the one with the orange balls that go thru the huge metal track system in the bid room with dark background. It was like an erector set on steroids and the balls went thru a sort of combo between mouse trap game and a rollercoaster. very hard to describe but visually amazing. and i think it had great music. anyone remember this one?

    I like the one with the kid going to get a quart of milk, a loaf of bread, and a stick of butter. That ones fucking bugged.

    I'm having flashbacks right now. I love this shit.

    I had forgotten all about Pinwheel yet I started reciting the intro before the clip started.

    watch the kid on the balcony in the vid above. Rockin'





    Ako, Teeny Little Super Guy was my avatar for about a year.

    "Can't judge a hero by his size, he's just a teeny lil' super guy."

    Does anyone remember the Capitol I cartoon. "Standing all alone" w/ lil' nomes washing it like you would a window.

    What about lowercase n, alone on the hill. That made my sister cry.

    What about the one where, to not get lost, the kid would remember the landmarks he passed to get home. Some wierd dude would morph into all the things he passed as he said them. TOTALLY PSYCHADELIC. Wierd shit. Then the morphing dude disappears. Kinda creeped me out. Wierd dude had a yoyo.

    How about "WI-wiw-wi-Wilamina" "I remember, I remember, a loaf a bread, a container a milk, and a stick a butter." Oh shit, didn't see the privious mention of this in the thread. But she kept messing it up in the clip. saying "loaf of milk" and shit.

    The typewriter was pretty cool.

    Don Music rocked, but they took him off because kids would play the piano with their head.

    On a related note, anyone ever seen Jim Henson's short film "Timepiece" from 1965?

    As I have gotten older I have never been able to forget this....I distinctly remember something about the music but I cannot remember what...I would love to find this one again

    Man, that one takes me back.

    I also liked the, "Plants Need Water, Man," cartoon where they were trying to get the monster plant to grow.

    I swear the brother's voice sounds just like FAT ALBERT'S voice when they would sing their song.

    he also sounds like the cat who sings the blues song in the WATTSTAX movie. What's his name.
    The fat dude w/ the guitar ?

    Now THIS I can accept, but...

    ...he'd have to age twenty years and deepen his voice before he starts sounding like Albert King.

    i remember all this shit, but who remembers "star blazers"? japanese cartoon about a world war II battleship ressurected to become a shaceship fighting alien wars in the future. on at the crack of dawn but i used to get up at 5 or 6 am just to watch this shit as a kid. maybe the best cartoon ever. no one my age seems to remember it except for a few friends also from the NY area. maybe it was a local thing? you can find it on youtube but the site is down right now otherwise i'd post the intro. anyone else remember this? shit was the fucking shit.

  • Might be a lil off subject here but-The Electric Company just came out on DVD a couple months back-I use this stuff all the time for my radio show-the music in it is incredible.

    The George Clintonesque wiz figure that would take the lil bro on a "trip". This was extra fonky.
    I'm gonna go to the Television Museum and see if it's in their archives.

  • batmonbatmon 27,574 Posts


    I just copped this recently, and havent gotten through the whole package. So far Ive seen the first episode which is in '69. The ultrafonky shit is probably later on i hope. I thinks its a comp of their favorite episodes of the early era, not an all-encompassing episode selection.

    One nugget on the DVD was Lou Rawls singin' the ABC's his way. He and Jackie Robinson both say "aRah".
