Sesame Street: "Love in the Fix-it Shop" (street scenes)

[coolbluelights]

Anyone remember the episode where louis fell and broke his arm and then he was singing songs about it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

lmao - the cats kill me!!!!

[Analisa2285]

I remember watching this episode 21 years ago and the whole Maria and Luis story line

[SnugglySara]

Maria's pettin' a cute little munchkin!

[poutaine]

I was a total Maria and Luis shipper back in the day, haha.

[franimalistic]

Hahaha... man, I forgot how much attitude Maria had. She was a feisty one.

[jshydlo]

Chip and Dip... I love it!

[schemer1991]

an episode from 1988

[bowesy123]

hahahaha i loved bob's expression when maria and luis walk out of the shop after bob reads the letter haha

[rainboweinstein]

"That's like, CRAZY!" lol

[kathish]

Aw... Bob is so cute in this. What a romantic suck.

[mw145]

i remember cracking one off for the first time ever over maria!

[jerova]

Ew.

[dollartornado]

These episodes are from an era I missed (I saw the '70s episodes when I was a kid, and I've been watching the post 2000 episodes with my own kids), but the "in-between" decades of the '80s and '90s I missed. Never saw Maria and Luis's "courtship". I find it amusing and precocious that there were actually episodes about marriage (and when couples are ready to marry and when they're NOT)--these are rather mature issues for the S.S. audience--nice to see that the producers tackled such things

[KGinATL]

I remember my parents taking me to see Maria and Louis at the Sears when I was a kid. I was so excited to meet them.

[Babe5677]

I remember this Maria and Louis totally love one another. When I was a kid I wished Maria and Louis where my mum and dad LOL. But they aren't lol.

[brightbite]

I think many of us sometimes wished that.

[Treemeadow]

I thik they did that as an example to kids about what a good strong relationship looks like- the original target audience were lower socio-economic kids, who often came from struggling family situations.

[reginaSD]

As a little latina, I wanted to trade in my mom & dad and replace them with Luis & Maria when I was a kid. lol

[HeyButtahfly]

See, this stuff is quite vintage to me, as I was born in 1987. Apparently I missed all the good classic plots.

[mftheory]

You would have seen some in the early 90s

[ciandraj]

And thats where the road stops

[Digilady99]

This was cool. But I wish to see the episdoe when Maria and Luis get married. I heard it's touching.

[jalabi99]

I still haven't forgiven Maria for dumping David for Luis! He was never the same after that! :)

[mftheory]

Actually, that's when Sesame Street "jumped the shark", I think.

[gutchman84]

actually, it sounds like the two cats try to play some notes of the closing theme on the piano as they are being heard

[gutchman84]

that's kinda funny at the end when the two muppets play the piano while the ending theme plays.

[StaceSesame]

those cats are so cute! i never saw this one, i guess when this came out in 1988 i was getting too old for Sesame Street then. ;D

[glickmam]

BTW, does anyone think that "Love in the Fix-it-Shop" sounds a lot like "The Air That I Breathe" by The Hollies?

[glickmam]

Maybe Bob should have had Ray Charles do the piano accompaniment.

[Marbles471]

I didn't know Chip and Dip could talk!

I've only ever seen them going "MEOW-meow-meow-MEOW!" "Meow-meow-MEOW-meow-meow!"

Either way, good thing they weren't the ones singing!

[Daffyfan2006]

That's really cool. I'd like to see the ep where they really do get married.

[Ffeifanc]

That's a great episode! Thank you so much for uploading that! Can you upload any of the episode where they DID get married please? Thank you!

[gutchman84]

i remember that episode! i had it recorded on videotape when I was a little one.

[gutchman84]

actually it was the one where they prepare for their honeymoon that i had on tape

[efil4own1]

Never get two cats to do a dog's job! :)

[Lectronimo]

Well, I expect that sort of innocent meddling from Big Bird, but Bob was just as bad!

How neat to see Bob's place, with his archaic dial phone in the background.

[Garrettk41]

Yeah. Big Bird is just a kid (sort of) so he's got an excuse, but Bob was just totally out of control. What was wrong with him. You'd expect him to know better.
