I remember renting it back in the '80s... and having to rent the VCR too.

That was Dire Straits...I want my MTV (Money for nothing)...

Know what else is interesting? Not only did we rent that movie when I was a kid... we also had to rent the VCR, too.

I loved when Bert and Ernie were fishing and Ernie would say "here fishy fishy fishy" and they would jump into the boat ..

Hey Nixy , where in Newfoundland were you from?? I am a newfie so was just curious

I always wondered how Oscar got a swimming pool, an elephant, and other large things to fit in his garbage can.

Remember when Big Bird hit the Big screen? "Follow That Bird"....I actually saw it at the theatre.

Oscar is actually Dr Who in disguise, and his trash can is the TARDIS...

Sesame Street taught me the only Spanish I'll ever know. The sad part is, I knew more Spanish at age 6 than I recall now. On the rare occasions I have to deal with a Hispanic, it's usually on my job, and all I need to know is "INS".

"Come and play, everything's A-Ok...On my way, to where the air is sweeped.."

(That's the way my son used to sing it when he was tiny) - Had to add that..

That is my favorite memory of my little brother. He used to say that and then crack up.

 

[Nixy]

haha I love the "Heeere fishy fishy fishy fishy" skit! My family used to pull that one out at random times and crack up.

This spanish speaking fellow don't get it.

INS... Immigration and Naturalization Service... La Migra... the joke used to be that if you wanted to clear out a group of Mexicans, you'd just yell "LA MIGRA!" and watch them run.

 

[Luis G]

Ohhh, no wonder I wasn't familiar with that
