When I was young, this clip used to be so depressing for a young girl.

[pinkparfait]

wow!! I've been looking for this for a long time.. the Sesame Street soap opera, but I couldn't remember what it was called. When I was a kid, I felt so grown-up when I watched this!

And to think I once took this skit seriously! I thought everybody cried over little things like lost bookmarks. I must've been a real Heartstrong.

David left in 1989 and died soon thereafter(the guy in the hat).

[zymaymyn]

The guy in the hat is Bill McCutcheon (Uncle Wally). He didn't die until January of 2002. He was also famous for playing Dropo in "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", a film spoofed on MST3K.

[jazzfolkrocker]

david's wearing a hat too.

[zymaymyn]

Sorry, I meant the old white guy. It's possible that he could be their cousin, but its still very funny.

[kobraf150]

I'm proud that I didn't even think of that when I was a kid but now I laugh a little.

[shydmples]

@zymaymyn The guy who played Uncle Wally was also in Steel Magnolias as well.

I always loved this, drama amd trauma ( I have 3 daughters and a son 22,20,15 and 18 y.o. respectively,when they were little it was public tv or no tv.Then it was public tv... now its NO TV1 ) Thank you for putting this up, it was always a favorite. I'm pretty sure that after one the cast died they no longer aired any of the skits that he was in....Sad.....

"Woo-woo!"

[dogdoo4brains]

I remember these sketches very well. The music is pretty sad to me. I wonder who composed and performed the music. Anyway, it's been 22 years since I've seen this. Thanks for the post!
